Zagg Folio Bluetooth Keyboard And Case Review

I’ve been using the Zagg Folio Bluetooth Keyboard and case (for iPad 2 and 3) for a little while now and thought it was time to review it  I’ve been absolutely LOVING it.  For starters it was extremely easy to tether to my iPad 3.  I’ve taken it on 1 business trip and it functioned perfectly, the iPad itself was the disappointment (though I’m still addicted to mine).  The Zagg keyboard that can be slid out of it’s case and can be used without it is smaller then my MacBook Pro keyboard.  It’s noticeable, about 10-20% smaller but I’ve easily adapted and gotten used to it.  The depth of the key press is quite shallow but not a problem by any means, it feels like I’m using a netbook keyboard.

I really like that by closing the iPad down on the keyboard while it’s in the case it locks the screen.  Also the shortcut buttons at the top are a nice feature.  I love that keystrokes like select all, copy and paste all work and there’s even shortcut buttons for those as well as a Command (cmd) or previously it was an Apple button, it makes me feel very much at home.

The one and only single thing I don’t like about the Folio is the difficulty in removing the iPad from it.  It’s not all that bad but I tend not to keep my iPad in there because of this.  I’d prefer an easier slide to get it out or maybe a magnetic method of keeping it in.

There’s not a whole lot more to say about it, it does what it says on the box and well.  One slight quality issue is the stick-em on the left side is coming off so the plastic cover is falling off just a bit.  Even with that in mind  I highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a bluetooth keyboard for your iPad.

So this trip to Europe for Mobile World Congress, some meetings in London and a short vacation is going to be a serious test, I didn’t bring my laptop. I’ll have some work that MUST get done and I’m gong to have to do it on my iPad plus Zagg bluetooth keyboard. [...]
