Customer Reviews
Landscape works great, portrait mode a problemB. Wright
This is, at least for me, the best keyboard cover I've used so far. As I've said on my other keyboard cover reviews, the keyboard cover needs to function as both a keyboard and a cover equally well. Though, it's not the perfect cover and doesn't support portrait mode easily, it's about as good as it's going to get for now. So far I've tried the Kensington KeyCover Plus, the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover and now this ZAGGkeys Cover.This keyboard cover has a micro USB port for charging, an on/off switch, a pairing button, the case hinge and, of course, the keyboard itself. The keyboard is lighted LED. It is about the same thickness as the iPad, but tapering to be slightly thinner at the spacebar edge. When together, the weight feels about double that of the iPad.The CoverThe exterior is a shade of gunmetal grey painted in a similar way as the iPad, but the color is not an exact match (it's slightly brighter and the flakes are bigger). The surface is a little more textured as a result of this paint job. But, it matches closely enough from a distance. The hinge has some rubber strips to keep from sliding on a table, but there are no feet on the bottom. To use this cover, it takes a little elbow grease. You need to take the iPad and push it down into the hinge. The hinge grips the iPad tightly. Once the iPad is in there, though, it's not something you want to pull out often. Hence, the problem with Portrait mode. So, this makes it somewhat inconvenient to hold the iPad in portrait mode.Read more ›
By far one the best keyboard available for the iPadJonathan Chittenden
This is one of the best keyboard I have come across for any tablet, not just the iPad. Even compared to older models made for other/ older versions of the iPad, this one pales in comparison to them all.Pros:-Backlit keyboard with varying brightness-Ability to change color of backlight (not exactly necessary but still pretty cool)-First time pairing with a device is nearly foolproof and almost instantaneous-After turning off the keyboard and then turning it back on it automatically pairs with the device -as long as it is within range and Bluetooth is turned on in the device-Row of hotkeys along the top very similar to that of Apple keyboards (play/ pause, volume control, etc.)-Sturdy connection to the iPad itself; never feels as if it is about to fall out/ come loose but not so tight that it is impossible to remove-Wide range of viewing angles very similar to a laptop-Similar to Smart Cover and laptops in that when it is closed it puts the iPad into sleep mode-Typing surface is large enough to feel like a normal keyboard. I have extremely large hands and I find that even with the keyboard in my lap I feel as if I am typing on a laptop and don't need to make a special effort to type. Note that I am not a secretary or a person who types for a living. Those types of people may notice a slight difference in the way they type due to the smaller size of the keyboard.Cons-Advertised "Portrait Mode" requires you to actually remove the keyboard from the iPad and insert the iPad into to slot backwards. This is not a sturdy connection at all and I don't ever really plan on using the keyboard in this mode.Read more ›
Light, Incredibly thin and beautifully designed. Is it the best iPad keyboard for you?John Ryan
OK - so firstly I have to admit I absolutely love the iPad, but while I love the touchscreen input, I also value the ability to touch-type at full speed. I took ages looking for a keyboard, and previously bought the Logitec Ultra Thin, then the Zagg Folio, and finally giving up in favour of this one. Read on for a comparative review.Basically there are two types of keyboard. Folio keyboards use a "laptop" style, turning your iPad into a MacBook Air, and the "cover" style keyboards give very little protection, but with the advantage of being very light.This Zagg keyboard is a "cover" style which means when closed it covers just the screen, with the advantage that (compared to the "Zagg Folio"), it doesn't cover the beautiful aluminium design of the iPad with black plastic.In this case (ie. the Zagg Cover), the iPad Air slots into a hinge along the long edge of the keyboard, where it can be adjusted for the correct viewing angle. It moves back to about 130 degrees, to put this context 90 degrees is vertical - so pretty good.Where this really shines through, is the keyboard. Despite the small physical space, the keyboard quality is excellent, with island style keys with a natural feel. Unlike some cheaper keyboards, the keys are relatively large (Zagg claim up to 30% larger), and I can comfortably touch-type at speed.As said, I previously owned a Logitec Ultra Thin keyboard, but where the Zagg keyboards (both Folio and Cover style) really win, is the keyboard is in the middle of the area which most of the physical space available. This means it doesn't feel quite so cramped as other keyboards where the keys are jammed into a tiny space at the front.Read more ›
