Logitech iPad 2 Keyboard Case with Stand

I love this!!!! It is better than I could have ever hoped for. I had a couple of reservations about it. But they have all been unfounded. First, I have a moki slim fit case that I loved and didn’t want to give up. Luckily, it pairs WONDERFULLY with this keyboard. You can just undo the bottom clasps and slide the ipad onto the keyboard with it STILL in the MOKO case. Then the keyboard sits very securely and is held in by the lip on the front of the cover. It works brilliantly and provides even more security. (I put a picture of this in the customer images for this product so if you look there you can see what I mean.)I was concerned that the ipad wouldn’t be secure enough but I’ve written about one thousand words on it today and I never felt that it would fall. I am sitting here with it on my lap and it feels very solid. I believe that having the case underneath it and having it sit on the underside of the case and secured by the lip makes a huge difference. When I’m going to carry the case with me, I will just place my moko case on top of the keyboard. It will not click together, but that’s OK. Because I can just stick it in my purse and everything is still protected. I can’t speak for how well it would work as your primary case because I knew that I wasn’t going to use it this way. The other thing that I can’t say enough about are the KEYS. I am a writer. I am very picky about my keyboards. There are two keyboards that I have loved. The alphasmart neo keyboard and the ibook G4 keyboard. I have a MacBook Air and while I love that machine, I am not a fan of those very small, chicklet style keys. I much prefer the hard keys that have good travel and spring and this keyboard has those. It ALMOST reminds me of my old G4 and that is a wonderful thing. I do have concerns about the keys popping off as I have read about. Because I do plan to use this ALOT. So far, it feels solid but I have read that this is an issue and I hope that it doesn’t happen because I could see myself using this daily. I hesitate to travel with my MacBook Air because it was very expensive and I’m always concerned about someone spilling on it. This would be a great solution for that. Over all, I have no complaints. I love it!!! I can type very fast on it and this was true immediately. There was no adjustment period for me. It just felt wonderful right off. I am a woman with small hands though. The keyboard is laid out normally. Unlike some compact bluetooth keyboards, everything is where it should be and where you would expect to find it. The space bar is generous. And all the keys are just like a normal keyboard. I haven’t tried the dedicated keys on top, but I’m sure they would be useful. All in all, I can’t say enough about it. If it holds up well, I will be absolutely thrilled.

Certainly exceeded my expectations for the price I paid for it. It was about $50.00 and was more than worth it. The ipad sits on it very nicely for use on your lap and the keyboard is a perfect size. The aluminum finish looks great and in every way this delivered exactly what I required as it is easy to use and was incredibly easy to set up and charge.

Very good until it fails.
I have had two of these one lasted 2 years and another lasted around 3 months. Both failed by the space bar not working.

The only thing it is good for now is as a stand or a protective case.

I bought this for my Ipad2 after conducting quite a bit of research with regard to different keyboard and case options for it. I really wanted the Apple keyboard, but interestingly, no one makes (including Apple) an integrated case for the ipad and the keyboard. Therefore, the Apple keyboard was out because I wanted both in a case.

I decided on the Logitech Keyboard Case because it was reasonably priced, had good reviews and from the pictures, it looked as though, when the ipad was in landscape position, there as an actual case. BE WARNED!! If would would like an ACTUAL case for your ipad and keyboard, this is NOT it. This is a keyboard that is designed so that the Ipad 2 fits securely into it (on top of the keys) screen down on the keyboard. While this is a very clever design, it is not really a case. Both the backs of the keyboard and your Ipad 2 are exposed and therefore subject to scratches, dings, and other damage. You might be able to find a separate case that will hold the two of them together but that would be an additional cost and you would have to remove both from the case in order to use either.

Also, when using the keyboard the Ipad is placed in a “ditch” above the keys. It is handy in that it places the ipad at the perfect angle for viewing and you can place it in either portrait or landscape mode. The problem I had was that if I touched the screen to complete a function, the ipad often fell over, out of the keyboard. This happened quite a few times and even when I moved the keyboard slightly. I don’t think I touched the ipad too roughly. Certainly not roughly enough to justify the ipad coming out of the slot and falling over. This was, at a minimum, very annoying to have to stop and put the ipad back into place. More importantly, however, is that each time this happens, the ipad is subject to potential damage from being banged around. Unacceptable.

Therefore, I am returning it and have opted for the Zagg folio which is an integrated keyboard with a case that completely protects the keyboard and Ipad and folds into a notebook. Both can also be removed from the folio and used unlike many other brands wherein the keyboard is permanently attached to the case. It is more expensive, however, I feel my ipad will be safer in this configuration and won’t sustain a lot of cosmetic damage.
