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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good protection, good keyboard, good BT - but only lasted 9 months

I really liked this cover, although it has an unfortunate design flaw: you can't press the touchscreen all the way down because the cover gets in the way. This caused me a slight disappointment. However, over the course of nine months I learned to live with it - I really liked the keyboard, liked the large Enter and Shift keys, great battery life and the light weight and good protection it offered. Then the hinge adhesive broke (at normal room temperature) and the part flattened out as if it had been hit on the street. So I got another case (Earto Case 7) which weighs more, protects but is thicker and a little chunky, feels nice and solid, allows you to change the backlight to 7 different colors, has tiny input- and shift keys on the right side that I can't always press properly without looking at it (otherwise it has a nice, solid keyboard that feels right), costs more than double the Zagg, has a hinge that no glue needed to hold them together and allows access to the entire screen. Now that full-screen is back, I don't think I'll be going back to Zagg - and I think I like the new one better overall, despite its added weight and tiny Shift and Enter keys. But maybe that's because it's new and working.
