    First Class Product

    I work in a high quality profession and it has rubbed off on my life to the point where I find it difficult to purchase anything unless it's a perfect product. My wife had mentioned that she would like a keyboard for her iPad and after looking around at the offerings available on the shelves decided none of them would be up to the job of complimenting the quality of the Apple product. I came across the Brydge through an ad on Twitter or Facebook and was impressed by its claims and the design and looks. After much thought I went ahead and ordered one. It arrived in the UK within days and even the external packaging was impressive, indicating to me that quality was going to be inside as hoped. I wasn't disappointed and it was soon connected to the iPad. It looks perfect and is everything I had hoped it would be, but the real test was to come. My wife won't entertain any gadget unless it does whatever it should do, and I'm pleased to say it's stayed attached to her iPad and she takes it everywhere with her. I was slightly concerned about the extra weight over the iPad on its own, but this does help to keep the iPad steady when she has it balanced on her legs when needs must and she types at uncountable words per minute. The keyboard has great feeling keys with great accuracy and the only thing she ever mentions is the lack of a touch pad as she instinctively moves to use one. Ultimately this keyboard is everything it promises to be and is produced to an incredibly high standard. It is more expensive that a lot of the others but the quality is well worth the extra money. After all, that's why we all buy Apple products isn't it? From my experience with Brydge from ordering to delivery, from communication to the status of my order, an email address for any comments or problems and an excellent product, I have no hesitation in recommending this product. Well done Brydge, quality is in the smallest detail!

    This is my second Brydge keyboard. I was a supporter since their first Kickstarter submission. Their hinge connection is excellent. It makes your iPad feel more like a computer (with a touch screen). The Bluetooth connection is solid and fast. The keys are well balanced and very effective. Battery life is good, lasts all day for me, a user (at work) all day. I would definitely recommend this and as my iPads change I will most likely invest again.

    I was hesitant to buy an alternative to my trusty old iPad keyboard from Logitech, but when my model was no longer available, I took a look at the Brydge model. I have to say that I am impressed. The keyboard secures itself firmly to the iPad, and the metal case that closes in a clam shell manner safety covers the screen protecting it when on the go. The battery life is amazing, and the blu-tooth sound is great. This was a great purchase, that may last through a couple of different models of iPad for me. Great product!

    Stunning looks but doesn't perform well

    Looks great, the bounce on the keys are solid . It is quite sturdy and adds a nice weight to the I pad. It's a very clean looking and I've had it for a while now without having to charge it . Now the down side , does not protect your iPad , it is steep on price and the speakers just sound worse than the speakers that already come on your iPad, why even bother putting speakers on something if they won't preform ? I'm not super impressed

    The keyboard is aethetically pleasing and makes the iPad look like a mini MacBook but it was too heavy for my liking so had to return. The keyboard definitely had a good and sturdy feel to it. I was looking for a keyboard that would not add significant weight to the iPad. I might have received a malfunctioning device because setup took a while. It took many tries before it got connected to the iPad.

    Best iPad Keyboard Out There!

    This is an excellent keyboard for the iPad. I am using it with an iPad Pro 9.7". This keyboard gives you a physical keyboard that feels VERY much like the keyboard on a MacBook Air. Although it is not quite full sized (because of the size of the iPad), I can type on it comfortably at very close to full speed. The fit and finish of this keyboard are second to none. It looks like it belongs to the iPad. The color and texture are right on. It is solidly built and does not feel flimsy in any way. The system of attaching the keyboard to the iPad using soft-rubber clamps is ingenious and allows almost full 180° motion to adjust the viewing angle instead of the one or two angles that most keyboards give you. It is very easy to attach and remove the iPad from this keyboard. It pairs quickly via bluetooth. There is a slight delay when first turning the keyboard on, but it is not long at all and is something I can definitely live with. The one major detraction is that you need to remove the iPad from most cases before it can be physically attached to this keyboard. That's a bummer. I've only found one case that works with this keyboard (the Otterbox uniVERSE case) and it is...not the best to look at. But this is a problem that I'm not sure how to work around because of the design of the clamps. Otherwise, I wholeheartedly recommend this keyboard. You will not regret it!

    While traveling, I needed a laptop, but didn't want to cart around my heavy, bulky HP. I recently bought an iPad Pro from Best Buy so I purchased the Brydge - Brydgeair Bluetooth Keyboard hoping to convert my iPad into a small laptop. It worked perfectly! I love this keyboard. The iPad Pro fits really snugly and, when closed, also functions as a protective case.My iPad is "rose gold" and the gold Brydge blends beautifully with it. Highly recommended!

    This keyboard is fantastic! The built in speakers are a perfect touch. There is absolutely no delay from the keyboard to the iPad itself, backlight keys and volume control! Could almost pass as a mini MacBook with the keyboard attached to the iPad!

    Great keyboard. Bluetooth works well. I like that the sound has a separate blue for activation, and in stereo. I have thinner keyboards but this on is solid. The ipad attaches and detattaches easily. Feels like you have a solid notebook in your hands.

    I felt it took far too much force to push the iPad into the hinges, that is likely why some of the reviewers stated that the hinges broke easily. I just figured that it was due to abuse, but after having it for less than a day I realized how it could happen. I just was not willing to use the force AND with the arthritis in my wrists and fingers made it more difficult.

    This is such a great iPad case. I connect it to Bluetooth and use the keyboard to write. The battery life is pretty long on it also. I have an iPad Air and it fits perfectly. Also, the space gray case matches my iPad perfectly.

    Very well made and matches the iPad perfectly. Great for watching movies (acts as a stand and the speakers really help). The keyboard also makes web browsing much quicker and easier. Since purchasing my iPad use has doubled.

    Best iPad keyboard I've owned

    I had a competitors keyboard that I used with a previous iPad 2 and was was very pleased with it. When I purchased my new iPad Air2, I immediately outfitted it with the "other guy's" keyboard as well and thought I was good to go. Could not have been a bigger mistake. Due to miserable performance issues (the thing would not stay attached to the iPad), I returned it and purchased the Brydge. I have had it for over a month now and I could not be happier. I have received numerous compliments on its appearance and the feel and performance of the keyboard has been flawless. Battery life is superb.

    I bought this to use with my iPad Air and so far, it's worked great! The other reviews are right, it does become a lot heavier once you add the keyboard, but I love the backlit keys and the charge holds!
