LOGITECH Ultrathin Keyboard Folio vs BELKIN QODE Ultimate Keyboard case!RichardB
I decided that for my birthday I would get myself an iPad keyboard to facilitate my typing/writing. After considerable research (mostly on Amazon), it came down to the LOGITECH ULTRATHIN KEYBOARD FOLIO ($80) and the BELKIN QODE ULTIMATE KEYBOARD CASE ($106). True, they are not the same price but I decided, given how much I use my iPad (a lot, with hopes of using it even more post-keyboard) that the difference in cost would even out over time and that I wanted the best quality and qualities I could get for around $100 or less. In general, I've had good luck with products from both companies.(If you've previously read this review, note the additional FOLLOWUP COMMENTS added at the bottom! Thanks.)--------------------------------So, let's start with the LOGITECH keyboard. First impression: Pretty nicely made.Fairly easy to get iPad in. Gotta push a bit to slide it in but then it fits tight. (Gotta work harder to slide it back out though)Oddly, the (minimalist) instructions indicate you should push it straight down to snap it in place. ?? Makes no sense. The upper corners are rigid and you'd just be risking snapping the plastic. (Read numerous complaints about the upper left one breaking a lot. Maybe because people were trying to fit it in the "Logitech" way. ?)Outside casing is some kind of dense rubber-like substance. Not crazy about the feel of it. Very solid though. Bit bulkier than the Belkin.The angle of the screen is fairly severe (upright) and not adjustable. iPad stayed in elevated position quite well. Screen bounces a bit when touching it, which, fortunately you don't have to do too much with the various helper keys on the keyboard.Read more ›
My favorite iPad Air keyboard/caseKendall Giles
I had previously thought I had found my favorite iPad Air keyboard/case, but after testing this Belkin product, I've changed my mind.I go into a lot more detail in my video review, but here are the main features I like about this keyboard/case:* The keyboard base is made from aluminum, making the resulting keyboard and case very sturdy yet also very light* The case comes with super strong magnets to hold the iPad Air at three different viewing angles* This keyboard/case reliably shuts off the iPad Air when the case is closed, and turns the tablet on when the case is opened* The keyboard has a long battery life -- I'm still on my first charge, but Belkin says you can get up to 6 months of keyboard use* The keyboard folds away so you can use just the tablet, if you want to.* The keys on the keyboard feel good and provide for responsive typing. Note that while this is not the same fullsize keyboard like on your laptop, and some of the keys might be slightly shifted from their normal positions, it still provides for fast and accurate typing once you get used to the layout.* This is elegantly designed--there is no on/off switch and no bluetooth pairing switch--everything is handled automatically.So that's it for a look at the Belkin Ultimate Wireless Keyboard and Case for the iPad Air. The case protects your iPad Air, and the keyboard elevates your productivity when using your tablet. It's a great product.
Great case, but don't buy directly from BelkinBarry O'Toole
Four stars for the case, one star for Belkin service and support. I'll explain.In addition, although I don't wish to write a Users Manual for Belkin, I've tried to list all things that are not mentioned on the Belkin website, as there's no User Manual. Also, I've got the keyboard case only today, so I'll update if I discover anything additional.Before I review the case, I must tell you about my experience of buying it directly from Belkin.First their web site is very user-UNfriendly, and incomplete. There is no link to send email to tech support and the number provided at 'Contact Us' has a long wait time, often more than 30 minutes.Then, the customer service reps were as unfriendly and as evasive as ever. It took me a long time to get them to understand that the I didn't like the silver case I'd ordered and received, and would like to exchange it for a black one instead. Ultimately, I had to return the Silver one and order a Black one. I've received the black one today, but not yet the refund on the silver one.In addition, there is a 'Live Chat' link, hidden under a FAQ answer, but it doesn't work - not on the iPad, anyway. Also, touching the FAQs doesn't take you to the answer - although it appears to be a 'link'; you've to scroll down.There is no User Guide on their website, just some FAQs linked to knowledge articles. It seems like an half-a**ed effort. For example, there's no mention of the use of keys 3, 4 and 5 when used with Fn key, or the 'lock' sign.I hope that my case works and I don't have to ask for service or replacement. This is the first time I've bought directly from Belkin, and it's the last. Maybe Amazon's customer service and support has spoiled me.On to the review.Read more ›
