iPad Keyboard Case 9.7

My biggest worry when buying this was that the keyboard would like many other cheap keyboards and go into sleep mode too after a few seconds. But I was pleased to find that it stays alert even after long pauses between typing. I also found the keyboard good for touch typing.The function keys were also really good and worked without issue. The keyboard lights are fun.The hinge on the unit is stiff and strong and can turn 180° allowing it to be folded flat with the screen on the outside.I do have criticisms, but this is more of the concept than the product. Although the hinge is stiff, the screen does still wobble a bit, especially annoying if you do need to touch the screen. The keyboard has weight which is what you want in a laptop type configuration, but makes your ipad very heavy when it is being used as a tablet. It wouyld have been nice if the keyboard could be detached from the ipad.

I do not usually write reviews for ‘stuff’, but on this occasion I am.Though I have only had this item and used it for a few days, thus far I am really impressed with it’s design, build quality and functionality. (I have only given it 4 stars for battery life because this is as yet to be proven - but if it’s as good as everything else then it’ll be good.)Pairing to the iPad is simplicity itself ...Despite what some others have said, mine will produce a £ symbol by using Shift 3 ...3 levels of keyboard illumination if you want them in 7 colours, and to prolong battery life these automatically turn off after about 30 seconds if no keys pressed, but then automatically turn back on when another key is pressed ...The Caps Lock light isn’t on the key, but at the top which might seem a little unusual, but easy to get used to ...It likely does other things as well, and I’ll discover these as I go along.The multi-direction hinge seems robust enough, and I’m sure if used with care will last a long time - just remember it’s not a hinge on a Barn Door!So all in all?If you didn’t know it’s price and were demonstrated this, I doubt you’d believe it when told it’s only just over £30 - easily one of the best computer accessories I have ever bought.

I ordered this to replace the old case/keyboards on my iPad Air 2 or Air 5 (hinges on both cases cracked after years of use). I found this case/keyboard only fitted my iPad Air 2; the Air 5 wouldn’t clip into position at the top. I wasn’t surprised it only fitted one, as the old cases weren’t interchangeable. This new case feels good quality and the keys feel nice to type on. After I charged it up, I switched it on and pressed Fn+C to start pairing which I finished In the iPad bluetooth settings. There is a helpful label on the keyboard describing these steps. I like the area on the keyboard to rest my hands on, which I didn’t have with my previous cases. So far so good; happy with this purchase

Very glitchy to start with with odd and irritating things happening on my iPad screen. Charged twice and it was unable to hold the charge 2nd time around. After that it would connect to my iPad and after typing 4 letters it would then stop typing. Then it died in under 4 months. I had to return it to Amazon for a refund.

Having had a few iPad cases, this was better than expected. Solidly constructed and feels good quality and quite robust. Metal and a bit heavier than expected but certainly will protect the iPad. Bluetooth worked well and easy to setup. Like the backlit keys, for which you can change the colour.

Of course you need bluetooth to use the keyboard. Looks flashy enough with the light up keys, which do work fine, but it’s not the best, practically. Wait just a minute or two and the connection is lost (this is fully charged too). I mainly used it as a regular case, and typed with a completely seperate bluetooth keyboard. Also it’s nice having a case that opens up and does its twisty turny tricks, but it’s not well ballanced. Honestly, I was glad when it broke, so I had a good excuse to buy a completely different one!

I love it, it looks like a black laptop with my ipad air 2 in it. Got very fast reply from seller as my issue was how to get the £. They replied alt + #3= £, and it works, very easy. I had issue with £ with other keyboard cases but not this one. I only got it yesterday so cannot comment on how durable it is. But so far so good.

The protection given by the case and the way you could set it up for easy typing were both fine, but the keyboard had unnecessary gadgets - the different coloured backlights - rather than robust technology. The delete button stopped working in one, and when I got a replacement, again characters on the keyboard stopped working. I gave it 2 stars rather than one as I have yet to find one of these keyboard cases which lasts more than a year - this was better than some others!
