Reviews for Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad

When I first saw this in the store, it seemed as though it would be an awesome product. A keyboard that easily separates from the iPad, so that you didn't have to have the bulk and weight of the keyboard with you at all time.

The biggest problem is that it separates from the iPad *way* to easily. As a matter of fact, it barely holds on at all. The magnets are terrible and don't come close to providing proper support for the iPad. I was amazed at how easily it separates, when you least want it to. It will likely end up breaking your heart when your shiny new iPad, takes an unexpected tumble when the two pieces separate.

Other problems with it. Even when attached, it only protects the class front. It offers no protection of any kind for the back, so a film or other form of protection still needs to be purchased.

The bumpers protecting the keys from the class surface are thin and inadequate. Carry the two pieces together, per instructions, I found every time I opened it, my iPad screen had keyboard marks. I believe eventually that this will have a toll on the screen.

Bluetooth battery life is good, but the screen is compact, far more compact than the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard, and key travel not nearly as good. I found this made it difficult to type on.

I returned this product the following morning. I felt it to be a very sub-par product, with only one great feature. The ability to separate the iPad from the cover and dock it in the slot. Everything else about it I found to range from fair to poor. If you are going to leave your iPad docked at all times, you may find it to be an excellent product, otherwise I would suggest looking at alternatives. There are plenty of them out there.

A perfect product - not something one runs into very often anymore. Exactly as advertised. Very high quality, looks great, excellent keyboard (I can type several times faster on this than on the virtual keyboard), syncs instantly - and automatically - every time, and takes up no room at all. I've now bought several for my relatives as gifts.

The magnet is not as strong as on a smart cover.

This keyboard is fine, I had a little trouble with it repeating keys too often, and I had to learn to type lighter. I seriously can't imagine why they replaced the ESC key with another home button. I mean, there's a home button right on the iPad, why would I need another on the keyboard at the expense of the single most useful key during text editing with VI / VIM?

Sure you can work around by learning to hit Ctrl-C instead to leave insert mode, but some habits aren't worth breaking for $99. Plus, I need to enter backticks and tilde's on a regular basis since I'm a Linux systems adminstrator. These keys also also require several key presses. This keyboard might work great for a PM or BA, but not the actual Techie.

I purchased the keyboard after seeing one of the IT guys in my office using it with his IPAD. I like the fact that with the keyboard I can use the IPAD moreso like a Notebook computer. The keyboard is easy to type on and is comparable in touch to my Notebook in that the keys are not too crowded together. I type a lot during the day on a desktop PC and I have no complaints about the Logitech keyboard.

When the keyboard is closed up on the IPAD it looks sleek. I'm not sure how protective it actually is though.

The only downfall I can have noticed is that when using the camera feature it was difficult to hold the keyboard cover in one hand while holding the IPAD in the other hand. Taking photos would be an instance where the more popular neoprene IPAD cover would be better than this one.

I am very happy with this keyboard/case - has arrows which I miss on the virtual keyboard. But one has to reconnect it with Bluetooth after a short break - why isn't there an auto-detect? It takes very little time to reconnect but it's annoying. It took me a while to figure out how to open it up, the method in the illustration does not work for me, I still am not sure I'm prying it open correctly. Otherwise, it looks, types and protects beautifully. Just fix the Bluetooth connection please.

I got this keyboard as a gift, and I'm very very pleased. I can switch keyboard mapping easily to type in French. The magnets holding the iPad in landscape mode are strong so I feel confident that my iPad won't fall out even when I'm using a pillow as my lap desk. I most often leave the iPad and keyboard assembled on my credenza for quick easy access. The keyboard wakes up very quickly. For my hands the keyboard is just right. I like it as a case too, I find it's easy to close and the coverage is fine for me. When I put my iPad in my bag for traveling I simply use a bubble-wrap bag to protect the iPad and case from scratches.

There's really only one thing on my wish list : that the keyboard were a bit quieter - it clacks a little, which can be fun but not at night. The other thing I'd wish for is as much stability when I'm using the iPad in portrait mode. The iPad can be placed in portrait mode but obviously there are no magnets in that part of the iPad to hold it in place.

I needed a keyboard for my iPad while I waited for the new iMac to come out (!!!) and I purchased this one. Sleek, sexy and works like a dream. It is so easy to type on, and the magnets work perfectly. Designed and functions as if it were made by Apple.

I really love this product it just makes my iPad complete....very stylish, sleek, and AWESOME !!!!!
