Review on πŸ“± Targus Versavu Rotating Keyboard Case and Stand for iPad 3 and 4 - Bone White: Complete Review and Best Deals by Josh Parson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Ok, but there were a few problems.

Overall a good product. However, just a few months later, one of the keyboard keys "bounced off". It was so broken that it couldn't be easily put back on. The keyboard was used very little as it was for my little daughter who is not old enough to type. However, the support team took care of it quickly and to my satisfaction, so no complaints about the response to the issue. Another issue as I bought two of these, one for each child, is that the "fabric" or coating is peeling off at the corners where the iPad is placed. Soon the entire surface seems to peel off leaving only the plastic. It most likely won't affect functionality, but it's certainly not desirable. Finally, sometimes the corners don't always keep their "snapped" position on the corners of the iPad. Sometimes we find the iPad dangling in a corner or two. It seems to hold up quite well in other corners, but my kids are pretty careful with their iPads β€” they sit on the couch, in the chair, they don't take them to school β€” so the cases don't weigh them down very much. However, I would be concerned that the typically more active user of the case (high school or college student, office worker, etc.) might determine if the loose corners are a real problem. We snap them in quite often, it's become a habit. In addition, the case is very attractive, even stylish. The keyboard is comfortable for its size, although as other reviews have pointed out, changing the function of the SHIFT key (e.g. you have to use the FUNCTION key to access the question mark) really confuses me. To be honest I have no idea why they did that and I wish they played by the rules. The battery life is fantastic - lasts for many, many charges of the iPad itself, but requires an adapter to plug it into the wall - all you need is a USB charging cable. This (which means that if you don't have a USB-to-AC wall outlet adapter, or if you haven't opted to dual-use your Apple White Cube, your computer will, as I said, take a long time to charge, so it is not that uncomfortable For occasional users I see this is a great case If you are traveling and really need this case for protection I would pay close attention to the issue of the iPad not always closing securely around the corners Wearing with the coating peeling off It may or may not happen to everyone. It's a good product. Not great. Some flaws may become an obstacle depending on the purpose of use.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
