Review on πŸ”₯ Enhance Your iPad 2 Experience with the Logitech Keyboard Case - Built-In Keyboard and Stand Combo by Kevin Grizzle

Great option for a "real " keyboard

There are many options, and many of them work well. I chose this particular option because it has a beautiful simplicity to it. It fits my needs perfectly and gives me a great typing experience. I like this keyboard better than the Surface 2 Pro and Lenovo Tablet 2 and about as much as the Asus Transformer Prime (I like how the pieces fit together, if only in landscape mode). I use my iPad in the kitchen quite a bit and have stopped printing out all but the most popular recipes. So I download them to my iPad. I used to have a molded wood holder - not very strong and not very effective. This allows me to put the iPad in landscape or portrait mode so that the recipes are displayed correctly (depending on their formatting). I also do voice acting, so I call the scripts to do it - again, instead of typing. The only downside I've found is that my iPad occasionally disables Bluetooth, but that's an iPad bug, not a keyboard bug. I have a micro USB charging station with a 30 pin iPad/iPhone charger and have found that the battery lasts longer than the iPad, although I often charge both when the iPad runs out of power. So far (aside from the original unboxing) I've only had one occasion where I've had to charge the keyboard myself. So here we are. Pros: Appearance complements the iPad quite well (they seem to be made for each other Fits securely in place and there's no risk of falling out Works equally well in portrait and landscape modes Keyboard size and feel are great for me (despite having big hands , which most people hate small keyboards) Battery life seems excellent so far All ports and switches are accessible if firmly seated feels very solid Cons: The little protrusions on each edge get in the way when I'm typing like an iPad for long periods of time So keep that in mind when you carry it and the iPad doesn't fit snugly in place Comes with 4 silicone feet to ensure it stays on the desk and tabletop I need it but don't like it - it works, feels great and I almost forget I'm on an iPad I'll try a few other devices to see how well it works i goes.
