📱 Enhanced Black ZAGG Folio Case with Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard for 1st Generation Apple iPad Mini Review

Very happy with this purchase. The product is small and thin enough that I can put it in my purse or pocket and take it anywhere. The keyboard isn't as clunky as it used to be with the Logitech Bluetooth keyboard. It feels heavy in my hand, leading me to believe the case isn't hard plastic throughout. Textured outer shell looks like leather, good quality. Bluetooth connection works great. There's no scrolling feature, which is inconvenient, but that's okay. A mini with a touchscreen will…

The most important thing is that it is NOT designed for iPad mini with 4G support. The case snaps firmly onto the back of the thinner versions of the iPad mini, but it just can't be persuaded to stretch and trim the top and corners of the 4G or thicker models. What I like is the low price and the backlit keyboard, as well as the increased number and size of the keys. . For those using SSH terminal applications, you'll like the dedicated <CTRL> key in addition to the Apple <CMD> key.

I recently received a new ipad mini 3 for Christmas. I knew I would be using it in my college courses so I decided to get a keyboard for my mini ipad as I had used it on my friend's iPad before and loved it. So I spent a lot of time looking at different iPad mini keyboards and I thought this keyboard/case would be my best choice. I received my case on time and everything was great until I put my iPad in the case. The iPad does NOT snap into place like it should. Now my iPad just sits a little…

The first issue I had with this product was the battery life. I needed to economically charge a Logitech keyboard I used with an iPad 4. Of course, this keyboard has a backlit keyboard, but I don't want to think about charging it. 2: Your keys suck. If you've used a Logitech keyboard, this isn't for you. The "1" key is flattened. The "capital letters" key is in an unfavorable position. It's not fun to tap on the keys. 3: I had problems where the keyboard didn't register some letters. 4: The…

Works well so far I have a month. Battery life is good, I charge it once maybe twice a week unless I use it a lot more than usual. I experienced the "double letters" described by other reviewers. (You know when ttthiiss is haappenns.) This was after a day of heavy use and the battery was dead (on both the keyboard and my iPad). Either the battery indicator isn't particularly reliable, or the performance drops off quickly when the battery level is just over 25%. With the long battery life, that…

I switched from an iPad 2 to an iPad mini because I wanted a smaller device. With a smaller device, of course, I needed a different case. As a writer, editor, and professional, I needed a keyboard for my Mini. I bought one from a retail store but it was heavy and bulky. Looking for something smoother and lighter than the Bluetooth I have on the iPad2, I looked for cases that would match the Mini. I chose ZABB and another brand. Pros: * The lid is light, thin and easy to use. * The keyboard is…

I ordered this Zagg folio case for my iPad Mini and I have to say I'm impressed with the overall utility and features. It's fairly thin despite the iPad's (obviously) light weight, the internal battery lasts a very long time, and the buttons are backlit for operation in low light conditions. Despite the small form factor, the keys are easily accessible and very slim. It offers complete protection for your iPad and provides easy access to the IOS command buttons on the top bar. All the features…

In general, I'm quite satisfied. The keyboard layout is good and allows me to type at almost the same speed as on a full-size keyboard. This was the most important feature for me when looking for a keyboard/case as I type a little. I've found three issues with myself that I think anyone interested in this case should know. Firstly, this thing doesn't hold a charge for several months as claimed. I need to charge mine maybe once a month and probably only use the backlight a couple of hours a…

I've had this case for a few weeks now after researching almost every iPad mini case I could find on the market. That's why I chose the ZaggKey Folio if you're like me and need to make sure before you buy. I went for a mini version of the iPad case, but I think they make one for the larger iPad as well. I'm a touch typist and I appreciate the ZaggKeys Folio keyboard, which is quite large. Compared to almost every other iPad mini case on the market (except for the ZaggKeys case with the same…
