ZAGG - ZAGGfolio Keyboard Case for Apple® iPad® mini 4 - Orchid/Gray

The Zagg Keys cover and keyboard for the iPad mini 4 is a great improvement over the old Zagg cover I had for my original mini. The battery life is advertised as 2 years and even if it is only 2 months it is nice not to worry about it. My only critique is that I wish it came in metallic rather than basic black. It seems sad to cover up a lovely gold finish with black plastic. The small keyboard is easy to use and has a light on the Caps Lock key which is better than my old LeNovo laptop had. I find myself using the IPad more in work situations now with good protection and a reliable keyboard.

I do a lot of writing and need my iPad Mini 4 for my work to function as a mini-laptop. This item not only protects the iPad but turns it into a mini-computer. It feels solid, looks attractive, and is easy to use. Here's the caveats and solutions: 1. Don't forget to register your product, especially if there's a defect. It makes it easier to get a replacement under the 1 year warranty. 2. After 3 months, two of the keys, T and Y, would either work or not work unpredictably. Zagg, however, stood by its product, found my registration, and sent out a new one, postage free. They also provided the means to mail back the old one for free. 3. It does not have backlit keys. That's a small inconvenience compared to how I use the folio for typing, which is during the daytime or with a lamp on. 4. If you are reading, it's a bit cumbersome at first, but no sweat. I want to protect this expensive but fantastic iPad. 5. I put a screen guard on the iPad for extra protection of the screen. An inexpensive one will do. 5. The folio is sold at a great price.

Protects well and like having the keyboard available. Hinge mechanism seems stiff but will see over time. Best Choice for me.

Of all the cases I saw at the stores, this one was the least flimsy. I do concede that the case could be thicker and sturdier. This case is for a 10 yr old who has been using it for months and the case is holding up like a champ. It's been dropped several times, banged against walls and I see no cracks, chips nor visible scratches. The bluetooth keyboard only "glitched" once but since then, no connectivity issues. When it did not want to connect, I recharged it overnight even though it should have had a full charge.

I chose the ZAGG Folio case for my mini iPad. It is very sturdy and truly protects my iPad. In addition, i like using the keyboard. It allows for a full screen display at all times and for me, I type much faster using it. I also like that the Screen stays open at a nice angle for viewing movies or whatever The only down side is sometimes areas at the bottom of the screen I are somewhat difficult to touch when playing a game.

Works well. Still getting used to working a keyboard for text and touch screen for pointing/selecting, but the case makes the tablet into a nice little laptop with all the benefits of an iPad. It's still quite managable for use in landscape or portrait mode. Good solid protective case. The case was on sale, so the purchase was a good value, too.

keyboard works fine; price is decent; it's nice and lightweight

Perfect fit for my new Mini IPad and provides needed protection when not in use of if dropped. The BT keyboard works flawlessly and turns off/on when opened or closed or with a touch of a button. Would have given 5 stars if it didn't add the extra weight but safety of IPad is more important than a little extra weight.
