Review on Enhance Your Tablet Experience with the ZAGG Hinged Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard and other Essential Accessories by Tony Suggs

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice, but Logi Focus won!

I bought 5 keyboard cases to compare. You can click my name to view all 5 reviews. This Zagg Folio came in second behind the Logi Focus. It was close! But here's the comparison and why Zagg lost. I love the fact that Zagg can be from different angles. It can also be reclined further than the Logi. I liked it very much! Zagg doesn't fold like Logi, but I didn't find much of a problem. But since Zagg allows the iPad to recline as much as possible, it's easy to use in an upright position. I didn't find the keyboard in the way. It surprises me! Both Zagg and Logi hold the iPad securely and protect it well, but Logi definitely has better padding around the corners and edges. This is one of the reasons why Logi won. I like that the Zagg keyboard is backlit. Logi doesn't have that. Both Zagg and Logi have a slight key curvature. These were the only two of the five keyboards to do so. The other three (which received 1 star each) were flat. The curvature makes typing much easier and faster. The Logi Focus keys have more curvature/cup shape and I like them a lot more. The spacebar on Zagg is great! It was the biggest gap of all, but Logi wasn't far behind. All three 1-star cases had very short gaps. - In the case of Zagg, you cannot click on the bottom of the screen. Many other reviewers have also mentioned this. When I tested this keyboard, I was surprised how problematic this can be! I guess I didn't realize how many times a message or command pops up there to be reached. The solution, of course, is that you can rotate the Zagg sideways (if you haven't locked the screen orientation) and get to the commands below. But it gets old very quickly! - I was also concerned about the broken hinge on the Zagg. It's in many reviews and I can see that it might be the questionable part of this case. The other point where Logi Zagg was ahead was that Logi has very good pads on the outer corners of the keyboard. to protect the screen. At Zagg they are very small. (Because I broke my iPad 2's screen by covering it too much, if that matters to me!)

Pros
  • This item only fits the iPad mini 4.
Cons
  • Crumpled
