Keyboard Case for iPad 2 with Built-In Keyboard and Stand

I love this!!!! It is better than I could have ever hoped for. I had a couple of reservations about it. But they have all been unfounded. First, I have a moki slim fit case that I loved and didn't want to give up. Luckily, it pairs WONDERFULLY with this keyboard. You can just undo the bottom clasps and slide the ipad onto the keyboard with it STILL in the MOKO case. Then the keyboard sits very securely and is held in by the lip on the front of the cover. It works brilliantly and provides even more security. (I put a picture of this in the customer images for this product so if you look there you can see what I mean.)I was concerned that the ipad wouldn't be secure enough but I've written about one thousand words on it today and I never felt that it would fall. I am sitting here with it on my lap and it feels very solid. I believe that having the case underneath it and having it sit on the underside of the case and secured by the lip makes a huge difference. When I'm going to carry the case with me, I will just place my moko case on top of the keyboard. It will not click together, but that's OK. Because I can just stick it in my purse and everything is still protected. I can't speak for how well it would work as your primary case because I knew that I wasn't going to use it this way. The other thing that I can't say enough about are the KEYS. I am a writer. I am very picky about my keyboards. There are two keyboards that I have loved. The alphasmart neo keyboard and the ibook G4 keyboard. I have a MacBook Air and while I love that machine, I am not a fan of those very small, chicklet style keys. I much prefer the hard keys that have good travel and spring and this keyboard has those. It ALMOST reminds me of my old G4 and that is a wonderful thing. I do have concerns about the keys popping off as I have read about. Because I do plan to use this ALOT. So far, it feels solid but I have read that this is an issue and I hope that it doesn't happen because I could see myself using this daily. I hesitate to travel with my MacBook Air because it was very expensive and I'm always concerned about someone spilling on it. This would be a great solution for that. Over all, I have no complaints. I love it!!! I can type very fast on it and this was true immediately. There was no adjustment period for me. It just felt wonderful right off. I am a woman with small hands though. The keyboard is laid out normally. Unlike some compact bluetooth keyboards, everything is where it should be and where you would expect to find it. The space bar is generous. And all the keys are just like a normal keyboard. I haven't tried the dedicated keys on top, but I'm sure they would be useful. All in all, I can't say enough about it. If it holds up well, I will be absolutely thrilled.

Overall, I find the Logitech keyboard to feel more like a real keyboard. I'm 6'8" with pretty large hands, and it takes about a week to get used to the spacing of the keys on the smaller keyboard - especially the space bar. Once I retrained my muscle memory, it works fine. The keyboard is easy to set up and has a sleep mode to preserve battery life. Unlike another product that this replaced (the Clamcase), this keyboard is made of sturdy stuff and the keyboard comes out of sleep mode quickly. It works great with the iPad in either portrait or landscape orientation.The only complaints I have on this form factor is that it's a bit more awkward working on your lap than a clam shell form factor. It feels like you are spending a lot of motion just stabilizing the whole thing with your iPad in it's holding slot. And, the aluminum ridge around the keyboard takes some getting used to as your palms are probably resting on or near it. But these are minor quibbles. I find myself simply lifting the iPad out and using it as a tablet when needing to work while in my chair (with no table), then changing my posture to support the keyboard on my lap when I need to do some serious typing.I have a Targus slip case for my iPad, and when attached to this keyboard, everything still fits in the slip case. Another plus for me. There's no problem lifting your iPad out of this keyboard, it just rests in a slot above the keys. That's another plus for this form factor in that it's easy to use the iPad as a tablet and use the keyboard as needed. There's also no awkward plugins like I found using the Apple keyboard dock.All in all, I recommend this product if you need mobility and the ability to do serious typing and the virtual keyboard drives you nuts.

I have an Apple keyboard but was looking for something more compact for traveling. I've been very happy with the Logitech keyboard. For any extended typing, it's efficient and a pleasure to use. The metal exterior complements the iPad well and snugly wraps the iPad, giving a solid feel to the unit as well as fitting nicely into my current traveling case. It connects quickly to the iPad and works flawlessly. I like the row of function buttons, especially the keyboard equivalent of the home button. The keyboard is compact but comfortable enough to type naturally, and the feel of the keys has a nice springiness - the touch is very similar to the Apple keyboard. I like that it's chargeable rather than dealing with batteries. My peeves are minor. One is that I sometimes hit the lock button on the upper right while trying to hit the delete key. I also forget to turn the keyboard off when I'm not using it, but I'm getting better at doing this when I shut off the iPad. Given the current price (I paid about $55), I consider this a great value for the money. I highly recommend this for users looking for a very competent, well-made input device for their iPad.
