Great keyboard. A few limitations. Won't work in stand with back cover fi
Or ipad3. Cover won't fold back lick Smart Cover so if you want to use ipad in your hand you have remove the keyboard. This is what made me decide to return it. No what I want. Otherwise looks great works great. Magnet hing a little weak careful opening it

Good keyboard. But the hinge for use as an iPad cover is too frail. I, for one, would be willing to pay more for a keyboard/cover with a magnetic hinge made of aircraft aluminum.

I have been using this keyboard for over a month now, and have no regrets. The keys feel excellent, the additional functions are great, it's light and it looks like it belongs on the ipad. A fantastic keyboard that I would definitely recommend to friends!

I have looked at several keyboard/case options for my 3rd generation iPad. This is the one I chose, and I'm very happy with it, though I'd like it better if it protected the back of my iPad. I am a 100 wpm touch typist, and the whole point for me is being able to type at speed when I'm writing something. As with all the choices I've seen, the keys are a tad smaller than standard and the layout is somewhat modified; nevertheless, this works fine for me. If you must have a full-size keyboard with absolutely standard layout, get the Apple Wireless Keyboard and the Incase Origami Workstation. (My own Plan B.) But if you'd prefer something that travels more easily than that and fits nearly anywhere your iPad could go by itself, this is it.

Took all of 5 seconds to get set up. Integration with the iPad is fantastic and it actually (finally) starts to make working in non email/text/photo apps (e.g. spreadsheets) 10x easier. One downside, you can't flip it over if you just want to use the screen interface, but (at least for me) it's a minor change in habit more than anything.

I LIKE THIS KEYBOARD AS A STURDY STAND WHILE TYPING. THE ONLY THINGS I'M DISAPPOINTED BY IS IT DOESN'T HAVE SKIP OR FAST FOWARD FOR MUSIC, ONLY PLAY OR PAUSE, AND NO BRIGHTNESS CONTROLS. HOWEVER, IT IS GREAT FOR USING AS A STAND WHILE TYPING, AND WATCHING VIDEOS. IT ASLO HAS SPECIAL COMMAND KEYS THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DELETE WHOLE WORDS AT A TIME, AND DOES CONTROL VOLUME. IT HAS SOME UNIQUE FEATURES. BUT I PERSONALLY WOULDN'T USE IT ALONE AS A COVER FOR THE IPAD. I USE MINE TOGETHER WITH ANOTHER CASE TO KEEP EVERYTHING NEATLY TOGETHER.

Very good product. Keyboard is excellent and light. However, I have few small observations:
a) Bottom of the keyboard is smooth / slippery. Four thin, non-slip buttons on each corner on the bottom of the keyboard would solve the problem.
b) White plastic strip inside the slot for iPad looks a bit wavy, which is more visible against my black iPad. This has no functional effect, but it visually disturbs otherwise good looking keyboard.
c) It is pity that arrow keys are not fully functional (scrolling for examplel) with a number of applications. It should be said that this is due to appliactions, not the keyboard. This is a bit strange because scrolling doesn't even work with Apple's mail and Safari and they do sell keyboard for iPad. I hope someone in Apple is aware of this...

first, to address the user that said the magnets were not strong enough: i suggest you return yours. I can hold my "the new" iPad by the sides and the keyboard will dangle sufficiently securely that I am never worried it will fall off. i don't particularly have occasion to hold it like this...but, the point is the magnets are fine. yours may be misaligned, or otherwise damaged.

if there are any nitpicks, I'd say that using the iPad in portrait mode with the device is an afterthought. ok, clearly there is no magnet in the iPad in this orientation. no, no marks against for the fact that it cannot be secured as it is in landscape. but, there is a little strip of rubber in the slot of the keyboard which is apparently there to hold the iPad in place when in portrait. I come to this conclusion because mine fell out. the adhesive is not very good and the rubber strip began to slide almost from day one. now, some months later the strip of rubber is simply gone--and now the iPad will not stay in the keyboard in portrait mode...the iPad is too top-heavy and it just falls rearward.

again, that's just a nitpick because when in portrait mode, i prefer to just hold the iPad alone, and I put the keyboard away in a 3rd party neoprene case (that just happens to hold both the keyboard and iPad together very nicely). even when the rubber strip was still in the keyboard, the whole keyboard/iPad in portraid combo was very top-heavy and did not inspire confidence that the whole thing would crumble in my hands at any moment. again, just a nitpick and doesnt even warrant losing a star.

as to the rest of the device, it i just perfect. there is not one thing i would change. the aluminum back matches the iPad's aluminum color perfectly. when used in "cover mode" the two pieces are essentially one, with great protection for the screen of the iPad. the keyboard and its shortcuts are very mac-like and become second nature almost immediately.

i've tried the first logitech keyboard (920-003402) and one by newtrent IMP48S. Neither of these can hold a candle to this unit. I would not hesitate to buy this again.
