Customers consistently note the excellent keyboard quality and ease of use of the Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for Apple® iPad® Air 2, praising its lightweight design and long battery life. However, some users express concerns about the hinge design and occasional connectivity issues. The level of protection offered is also a point of discussion among customers.
I bought this keyboard because I wanted to avoid a vinyl or leather case plus keyboard. I like how it fits over the iPad and maintains the thin metal look and feel. I put the whole thing in a leather envelope when traveling. Otherwise, I carry it in my purse as is. If you are hard on your electronics, or you frequently have a case of the dropsies, I wouldn't recommend this keyboard unless you used it with a full case for the iPad.

I have a lot of Ipads and other versions of this keyboard case. When I opened it and saw that there was no charge port I was a little confused. Eventually I learned that the batteries (Lithium ion) will last 2 years and are easily replaceable (it would have been nice to have directions included to do that). Eventually I found the battery compartment and I agree that it will be easy to change the batteries. Another confusing issue popped up when I was trying to physically connect the case to my ipad. How the heck does this thing work? After playing with it awhile I found it pretty easy to lay my ipad down at about a 45 degree angle against the keyboard and slide the hinge end of the ipad along the keyboard. This will result in the magnet cover opening and binding with the ipad. The result is an adequately strong connection. I wouldn't carry it around by just holding it by the keyboard case side though. Why would anyone do that anyway? Finally, I did like the adjustable viewing angle feature and my ipad seems to fit into the slot better than the other past logitech cases I have.

allows 2 view angles. securely holds ipad in place. solid bluetooth connection, does not drop. typing feels great on this keyboard. does offer screen protection, but not much else. no back protection or drop protection at all. hinge bites into hand when carry ipad with cover closed. edge is too sharp.
