After reading other recommendations, ordered this product and have been extremely pleased. I carry my iPad to meetings using the keyboard as a protective case and then use it very efficiently as a keyboard during meetings, etc.

It is better than the online keyboard especially if you have large thumbs.

This is the perfect companion keyboard for the iPad 2.

I only worry the sharp edges of aluminum may scratch the iPad. Otherwise not a bad cover and an ok keyboard.

There isn't much to choose from if you need a physical keyboard for iPad. This one is good and doubles as a case for storage. It's worst fault is the power connection. It has the same connection as a blackberry so many chargers will work but the solder joint to the board is weak. Mine broke after just 3 months. If you buy this, only charge it sparingly and don't charge it in the car where it is exposed to motion. All that tugging will eventually weaken the connection and you will lose the ability to charge it altogether. The good news is, it does not take much power. The battery lasts a long time between charges, although there is no meter to tell you when you are low.

Setup is a little tricky as you have to power on, goto bluetooth connections on iPad, click on the keyboard, then physically hit the button on the logitech keyboard for it to sync. AND after you've done that you may still have to touch the keyboard icon in the iPad before it actually begins accepting commands form the logitech. Once you become comfortable with this quirkiness you will be able to go back and forth easily.

There is no Backspace key, so they made the Delete key function as the Backspace. THere also is no PgUp/PgDn. If they had done away with the volume and playback buttons there would have been room for these. Until there is a better bluetooth keyboard meant primarily for business use, this will have to do.

I would only recommend this because there are so few choices and if you need a bluetooth keyboard for iPad, this is pretty much all there is.

The keyboard is great. I thought it might be too small at first. However, I quickly adapted and use it all the time. The hard case protection is great.

This was the third iPad keyboard I'd purchased, and it is by far my favorite. It's compact and doubles as a stand (and you can use it both portrait and landscape). Not bulky. Keyboard mimics regular computer keyboard (unlike some other iPad keyboards which puts keys in odd places, slowing me down). It also looks sharp. I haven't had any problem with my iPad staying put once it's in the case. The charge lasts a long time - it's been weeks since I've charged it and it's still working. I don't even use my other cases / keyboards anymore.

At first looks like a very innovative product but I found that oftentimes linking to bluetooth when attached to the I-pad slow and not always reliable.

The keyboard which acts as a face cover when not in use is snug, but one has to be sure to align it over your the face of your I pad in the correct way, otherwise it will come loose with handling.

The biggest draw back is the very short chord used to connect via a USB port to another computer to charge most inconvenient and easily misplaced.

A better design would have been a complete clamshell case with a keyboard within and a universal charge USB cable rather than the hard to replace proprietary cable provided.

I'm value oriented, but would not purchase an inferior quality product for any price.
