    A great travel productivity tool for iPad

    • Written by from EL DORADO HILLS

    I do not like to carry a lot of accessories with my iPad but I have found that for productivity an external keyboard is a must. This keyboard is almost full size (fully extended), has solid tactile feel and folds down to a very small size for travel. The perfect iPad companion for business trips when I want to leave my macbook at home.

    This keyboard is a thumb saver! I am on the road a lot for work and do not like to lug my laptop around with me in airports. The iEagle is so compact and lightweight I carry it in my purse with my iPhone and can get a lot more work done. I was also impressed with the battery life. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who does a lot of their work from their iPhone/iPad.

    A false start, then a fine product

    I bought this keyboard recently for my iPad 2, only to discover it didn't work properly: eight of the keys were nonfunctional. Apple Support was superb. They sent me a free UPS return label, and forwarded a new keyboard, all within a couple of days. The replacement works just fine. Like at least one other reviewer, I have a quibble: What's with having two blank keys on the bottom row? Wouldn't it be better to expand the length of the dinky space bars instead? I read recently that people are having finger problems from extensive use of virtual keyboards on unyielding surfaces, and this makes me doubly grateful to have the HIPPiH keyboard. Though pronouncing HiPPiH makes me feel like a tool.

    Almost there...stay on target!

    Directly compared to the Apple BT keyboard (aug 2011). I am used to typing on the latter.
    Out of the box, the iEagle seems as sturdy as a 1980's G.I.Joe snow vehicle: so-so. I unfold it, and (with slight difficulty) slide the locking latch, and set it on the desk. This keyboard is not canted. The (2 included) AAA batteries pop into a top mounted compartment in the left. Table-top typing is not optimal b/c of it being flat, though rubber nubs keep it from sliding. I turn the keyboard on via another slider, it pairs flawlessly with my iPad. I prepare to increase the brightness on my iPad; whoops, no buttons for this(!). Undaunted, I begin typing, keyboard in my lap this time. I keep hitting the wrong keys, as the outermost ones are small. The keyboard bends slightly in my lap, it is not rigid enough for this. It still can fold in half and slide nicely into the included neoprene pouch, VERY cool and small. It still has a slide out iPhone cradle, pretty useless for the iPad (Hippih makes a separate iPad stand, etc). It is $100. Folding form factor cannot make up for 1. Lack of brightness buttons 2. Flimsy locked position 3. Difficulty of locking mechanism 4. Lack of canted position for tabletop typing. Hippih has some new stuff coming out which I may consider, but this keyboard is already returned...stay on target!

    not for the small hand

    The right shift key is located so far away that my pinkie finger continually hit the up arrow key instead. This was so frustrating that, after a few weeks, I gave up and bought a logitech zagg. Same price, much better product.

    Not a fast keyboard

    • Written by from Yarmouth

    48 of 54 people found this useful

    I got this so I could type fast. For emails and small docs. But the layout does not permit this. The top arrow is wedged between the right shift and the "/" and I constantly hit the up error when I want a capital .. which causes the cursor to jump up a line and errors follow.

    Also the top row of numbers are too smaller and so you can't touch-type those as you would on a keyboard..

    It is not bad for occasional typing.. But it is not nearly as good as the apple wireless keyboard. I was hoping to get something as good, but in a fold up design.

    I had some issues with the CAPS lock not turning off.. but it is hard to say if this was the keyboard's fault, or the web-based mail software I was using at the time.

    I'll keep looking.

    I love this wireless keyboard! I have heard many people say it is great for business trips, but not only that! I take it with me when I go to a friends house! It's easier that way! I'm so use to typing on a keyboard that HiPPiH made everything easier! PLus it fits in my purse! I have to admit it isn't the sturdiest but on a hard surface its perfect. I also use it at home when my family is using the MacBook. This wireless keyboard is awesome for more than just business trips! Thanks HiPPiH creators!

    For 100.00 bucks it is a sin! Do not waste your money! I would give it 0 stars if I could have.

    Keyboard layout is infuriating

    • Written by from Franklin

    I bought this to use with my iPhone so I didn't have to lug my laptop with me on weekend trips.

    I love everything about it except the keyboard layout. The right shift key is not only less than half the size of my MacBook Pro keyboard, it sits right next to the up arrow---a major design flaw. Every time I attempt to hit the shift key while typing, I instead hit the up arrow.

    The whole purpose of buying this keyboard was to be able to type emails faster on my iPhone. Instead, it slows me down because I wind up having too make too many corrections.

    I'm back to tapping out messages on my iPhone.

    Good keyboard

    Pretty good keyboard. Easy to set up. Nice control keys for home screen, iTunes. Has arrow keys.

    Supplied neoprene case is a tight fit. Second time out of the case, one of the plastic legs (an insert), disappeared.

    Maker should supply extras in the shipping carton.

    i really like how the device is compact and easy to carry, it's also rather cute and functions as a keyboard should. My only problems however are that 1) the right shift key is a bit small and i keep mispressing the up arrow instead 2) there's no tabs to elevate the top of the keyboard and 3) there's two keys on the bottom row with nothing on them.... what the???

    Nice tactile response, and greatly enhances my typing efficiency. I like the iPod controls, and the battery life exceeded my expectations. Solid, well-designed product.

    cheaply made/poor design

    • Written by from Olathe

    35 of 39 people found this useful

    This keyboard is the sloppiest, cheapest product I've seen in a long time. Bad design, doesn't even close when it folds, keys are odd shapes and not at all consistent. This is the poorest product I've purchased in at least 10 years.

    Depends on your needs and your typing ability.

    • Written by from KINGSTON

    Unfortunately, I am not one who is able to adapt so easily to a differently formatted keyboard. While a keyboard like this would provide ultimate portability, I found it too difficult to use.
    The G and the B key are smaller than normal, while the H and the V key are larger. I understand that due to the folding design it had to be this way, but it gets very annoying very fast. Combine that with the minuscule delete key (and a second one where the ctrl key usually is; another annoying design) makes for a very difficult and tiring typing session.
    But in the end, it's not the manufacturer's fault; it's simply impossible to create a portable keyboard that'll be as comfortable as a regular keyboard.

    In the end, I just carry around the Apple bluetooth keyboard. It's not that much heavier (half a pound maybe) and there are VERY few situations where I don't have a bag that's too small for the keyboard. While the thought of pulling out my iPhone and a portable keyboard from my pockets discretely and start typing away is pretty awesome, the technology's just not there yet.

    In conclusion; if you want to get serious work done when you're out and about, just get a full-sized keyboard (Apple bluetooth keyboard). I doubt people would find it that much harder to carry an extra 0.5 pounds, and I seriously doubt (other than purses of course, but even then) that people carry bags that cannot fit the Apple bluetooth keyboard.

    This keyboard is way cool. It works the iPad, iPhone and my MacBook perfectly. It even has the little "home" button for the iPad. Make sure you reset it between devices, though. It's slim and easy to use. It makes the iPad feel like a mini laptop. It seens well put together and sturdy.
