ZAGG Messenger Folio 2 Tablet Keyboard & Case

Perfect gift for my S.O. ! They loved it so much and use it all the time for their college work, they have no relayed any complaints to me about it and it can really hold a charge. Would recommend as a cheaper option to the more expensive iPad keyboards

I bought this keyboard and everything was fine until it stopped working after about 11 months. I wasn’t worried because it was under a 1 year warranty. I initiated a return and after a few weeks, I received a replacement keyboard. Things were good again until about 5 months later when the replacement keyboard also failed. In less than 1.5 years, I have had 2 keyboards fail despite normal, careful use. The second keyboard failed to the point that it won’t even pair via Bluetooth. I contacted Zagg and they told me that they wouldn’t do anything because the warranty was expired. While that is technically correct, neither keyboard lasted even 1 year with the second not even lasting 6 months, so I think the circumstances should warrant special consideration. Very disappointed in this product and the lack of support. Would give zero stars if I could.

Using with an iPad 9th generation.
.
Good sturdy construction. The covers are rigid, especially the side where the keyboard is located. The finish is like denim cloth and very durable.
.
The iPad fits very snug into the cover. No loose moving around. The plastic brackets where the tablet snaps into place is heavy duty. Looks like they won’t crack from long term use.
.
Battery power is very good. I’ve had the iPad run out of battery one me; the keyboard has not.
.
Bluetooth pairing is straightforward and easy. No difficulty connecting and fairly fast to connect.
.
Glad I bought this. Worth the money and it was not expensive to start with in the first place.

This is my second Folio Keyboard, well actually sixth, my previous Folios ALL failed at the spring hinge joint. Terribly poor mechanical design (I’m an
Engineer).
My first Folio Keyboard was for my old iPad Air2.
Three of these were replaced by Zagg, great customer service and warranty. At least until they were no longer available.
I did modify the last one, disabled the hinge and used duct tape to hold open angle. Not pretty, but effective.
I bought two more thru Amazon when they were available, the first failed (hinge), however My Air2 failed/battery before I needed the last one.

Bought a new iPad and this Zagg Folio 2, keyboard thru Amazon. What an improvement1
The case quality is excellent and the hinge is now a simple folding case.
The keyboard is the same well up to Zagg standards for touch typing, definitive key strokes.
OK, it only has one open angle position, it seems well thought-out for good viewing. Better that than the old variable angle design, which only worked for a short time until the two positions were “Closed” and laying flat on its back.
My only question is durability, it appears sturdy, and I know the Zagg Keyboards are excellent, but I have only had this one month.
At the price I would buy it again.

OK UPDATE! I still loved the folding ability of the Folio 2, so far I love it. BUT, all of a sudden 3-months in it suddenly would not link to Bluetooth. Strangely enough the Bluetooth light was constantly “blue”, pushing it did not change things, still blue still no link. Also the standard ZAGG check battery (CTL+ ON/OFF) did not show and any result. The really crazy thing, was holding down the ON/OFF for 3, 30 or 300 seconds would not turn the keyboard off. To hopefully reset the situation.
Now I admit ZAGG is amazing in their warranty commitment. Purchased my Folio 2, from Amazon, by Amazon, they respect their warranty. (Don’t buy via Amazon thu second party sources.)
New Folio 2 on its way. This keyboard is so good I already ordered, and received another Folio 2 from Amazon. It is still great.
For some reason ZAGG does not off the Folio 2 for my iPad 7/8/9 on their website, only their “Rugged” model, which I think is way to clunky for everyday use.
But they do respect the warranty. Problem is ZAGG resister website does not show the Folio @ for the iPad 7/8/9, only the “Rugged” as dropdown, PHONE 1 (800) 839-390 to register, explain that the ZAGG Folio 2, does not show on the dropdown list. They will find it, be surprised, and register under your name.
Long story, but I love this keyboard, I hope your journey is not as lengthy.

teclado excelente, perfecto para iPad 9na gen, y la batería le dura varios días de uso medio

Qualità eccellente del prodotto e azienda venditrice affidabilissima, la consiglio 🔝

 J’utilise cet étui clavier depuis plus d’un an et il fonctionne vraiment bien! De plus, je crois l’avoir rechargé seulement deux fois en une année! Très robuste et l’écran se ferme automatique quand on le ferme. Les touches fonctionnent très bien.
