Hard to get the Bluetooth to connect and stay connected so it freezes all the time. Set up is good and what I wanted, but not worth the functioning problems. Spend the extra money and get a iPad keyboard.

Bought this item with iPad. After a couple days, the piece that holds iPad upright doesn't stay put. The design as a cover is great. Just don't expect it to serve you well as a desk top.

I bought a Zagg keyboard for my last iPad and loved it. But this new one is very disappointing. The ipad comes loose frequently and it will not stay connected to the keyboard. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Too big

It seems pretty solid and it's pretty easy to use, but it makes your iPad too thick. You might as well have a small laptop. If you use your iPad as a laptop it would be great. I don't so it was a return for me.

Terrible ! Always messing up struggles to connect. I’ve had so much trouble w this keyboard. DO NOT BUY! I would rate less than one star ! This is trash . Very unhappy I should’ve bought the Apple one . I thought I had made a great purchase and time has proven that I made one of the worst buys . Again I am very unhappy and do not recommend this keyboard .................

The case kept separating at the magnetic strip so I really had to pay attention and use both hands picking it up. Fortunately the times it fell apart it was over the sofa or bed and did not damage the IPad. Also the stand seemed pretty flimsy and the IPad kept sliding down flat. Returned this and bought a different one that is better...but not as good as the one I had with the first generation IPad Air.

It is cheaper but too cumbersome for me. This was the 2nd keyboard I purchased in two weeks before eventually purchasing the Apple keyboard.

I really liked this keyboard while it worked. I only used it occasionally—maybe an hour every week. A couple of days ago it stopped pairing with my iPad Pro. I charged it after reading some guides online but still nothing. It doesn’t even show up as available on the iPad. While not as expensive as the apple keyboard, it still isn’t cheap. I expected more from a reputable company.

I really liked this keyboard but it quit working after the second time that I charged it. Since then I’ve just used it as a case. Not worth the money

I bought this for my daughter's iPad. it worked fine for 3 months. Now it will not charge for whatever reason and so it's completely useless. Thanks Zagg for a piece of crap and for this frustration. I guess i'll have to get an Apple keyboard... Oh, and of course the return period with best buy is over!
