Product Manuals

Q: Does the keyboard have special function keys?

A: Yes, the keyboard has a row of highlighted function keys for shortcuts to frequently used features.

Q: What kind of charging port does this keyboard use?

A: The ZAGG Messenger Folio 2 uses a convenient and modern type-C charging port.

Q: How long does the battery last on this keyboard?

A: The keyboard can last for up to a year on a single charge with regular use of one hour per day.

Q: what if any is the difference in this folio and the apple folio other than price?

A: The Apple folio is REALLY nice as it does not need to be charged separately. It charges automatically when the IPad is charging. The Apple folio is magnetized to hold the IPad, so that when closed, it is thinner and it is easy to remove the Ipad when one doesn’t want the keyboard attached. It had two magnetized grooves to set up the IPad when using (one straighter up and one leaning back). The ZAGG keyboard is a GREAT alternative. The keyboard is comparable. Some of the differences are: You must plug the keyboard in separately to charge. The case has a manual type hook/catch to display the IPad in the open position. It does only have one position. When closed, the thickness (height) is 7/8th of an inch (vs 9/16th of an inch with the Apple Folio). This thickness with the ZAGG allows for a pencil holder that is protected. My version of the Apple Folio doesn’t hold a pencil. I’m sure Apple has a version that does though. I use an Apple Folio and my husband uses the ZAGG Folio. We would recommend both. Since the Apple Folio is more expensive, it just depends on you.

Q: Can I flip this case onto the back of the tablet so that I can set the tablet down to take notes or draw?

A: It can be flipped all the way around but it doesn’t sit very steady because the keys are what will be on the bottom (against the table or whatever you set your tablet on).

Q: Can the keyboard work still without iPad being in the case?

A: I do not believe so. Never tried that. It's a great case. Only issue was when u open and close case the middle breaks between the keyboard and screen. it's a great case they just need to fix that part and make it more sturdy

Q: Is the keyboard removeable

A: No, you must remove the case.
