Review on ZAGG Messenger Compatible Built Multiple Device by Kenny Stephens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best 10.5 keyboard available - protection, layout and weight. Costs money.

First I did a lot of research before I bought this keyboard. I looked at the following: 1) Apple Keyboard - don't buy this one. The Apple keyboard is rife with complaints, and there are even rumors of a class action lawsuit over the keyboard's terrible connectivity issues. If you go to Apple's own site and sort the reviews by newest, you'll see that it's filled with updated reviews from people who haven't had their keyboard in over a year and are having trouble with it. 2) Chinese keyboards at Revain - I've looked at all of them. from companies I've never heard of. I've seen reports of broken screens, looping, connection issues, etc. I was tempted by IE Grow (I think that's what the company says) 3) Other Zagg products - none of them had reviews like this. Rugged Messenger has the best ratings in Revain. 4) Logitech - when it comes to price. I got mine from stock deals and there's literally nothing wrong with it. It didn't come with a box. big thing. It was $50 cheaper (so I only paid $50). and no scratch on it. Fits perfectly, set up in less than 2 seconds. Logitech didn't have a warehouse deal back then. So Zagg is the one I have. On the keyboard itself. The keyboard is in perfect condition. In all honesty, this is probably the best tablet keyboard I've ever used. Key travel is a little longer than I'm used to, but again I'm coming from a very flat iMac keyboard that's very flat. The keyboard also has corresponding shift keys. something i read was a problem with some of the chinese companies on revain. The Shift key was so tight that everyone complained about it. The Zagg keyboard layout is perfect. I may have just missed a button or two while writing this entire review. The backlight is also really cool and the battery life seems pretty good. So, instead of a heavy laptop, you can toss your tablet in your bag for downtown trips, or drive into town and walk 20-30 blocks without carrying a bulky laptop in your bag and knowing you're still up your iPad can work. This keyboard/case is the right one. He doesn't miss a second.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
