Better than Brydge!

I am generally willing to spend a little more money if it means that I get better quality, so at first I chose to purchase a Brydge keyboard, which is about twice the cost of the Earto, give or take. It was definitely made of higher quality materials; I’m thinking it would have lasted a very long time, whereas I’m not sure about the Earto by comparison. Time will tell.The Brydge is made of aluminum, and is heavy enough to support the iPad on any surface at any angle, whereas the Earto is more of a durable plastic and does not perfectly support the iPad. On a flat surface, if you lean it back 160 degrees, the Earto keyboard will lift. On your lap, it’s more like 90 degrees! But functionally this doesn’t ever seem to cause inconvenience because if you’re typing, your hands are resting on the keyboard, and if you’re just using the tablet, you can use the swivel feature to be able to lean it as far back as you need without it tipping over.My only other complaints about the Earto:1. I wish they offered their keyboard in gold to match my gold iPad. Instead I opted for rose gold, which is fine but nothing to compare to Apple quality. Brydge’s gold tone aluminum is gorgeous and nearly spot on to Apple’s.2. My keyboard arrived missing one of the four rubber grips from the underside. Annoying.However, the Brydge is not nearly as good functionally as the Earto. The keys on the Brydge are not very responsive, so I would frequently miss characters when typing. That has not happened at all with my Earto. The keys are incredibly responsive, and I am so pleased!Additionally, the Brydge design sets the keyboard slightly over the base of the tablet, meaning I am physically prevented from using the swipe-up function to access the dock when the keyboard is attached. The Earto’s design securely frames the tablet so that I can freely access the entire screen to employ all of the various swiping motions. The swivel feature is just icing on the cake.Connecting through Bluetooth on the Earto was not as self-explanatory as it was on the Brydge, but it was easy and quick once I glanced at the instructions, and I have not had a single connection problem since.A couple of other notes: The unpacking experience as a whole was more fun and pleasing to the senses with the Brydge keyboard. But the charging cable for the Earto is longer and nicer quality.Ultimately there is just no comparison. Earto is less than half the cost and you get so much more functionality out of it. As long as it lasts a decent amount of time, I think it’s the right choice!
