Review on πŸ“š ZAGG Slimbook Go - Black Ultrathin Case with Detachable Bluetooth Keyboard - Designed for 2019 Apple iPad Pro 12.9 by Amanda Schnurr

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Almost great keyboard with many design flaws

GOOD: The keyboard has island-sized keys, which make it easier to type on than on a "cleaned" Apple keyboard. BAD: 1). Closing the keyboard doesn't turn off the iPad or the keyboard. This will eventually drain the battery on both the iPad and the keyboard. The Apple keyboard has a magnet and will turn off the iPad when closed.2). Because the keyboard doesn't have a magnet, it will pop open if you don't hold the keyboard and its cover at the same time. There have been instances where I tried to lift the keyboard (it's quite heavy) and the keyboard popped open. 3). Since there is no magnet, the ONLY thing holding your iPad and keyboard in place are two small connectors. To open the iPad and the stand, you need to slide the iPad back by pressing the back cover like you would when opening a laptop. Given that there are only 2 small ports, I'm not sure they'll hold up to repeated opening and closing of the back cover.

Pros
  • Suitable for many
Cons
  • Speed
