Logitech Fold-Up Keyboard for iPad Review

Since the iPad debuted a couple of years ago, people have been trying to turn it into a low-cost, lightweight replacement laptop. Adding a Bluetooth keyboard is a good start, of course, but then you're stuck lugging around two separate items. That's...

Keyboard is comfortable to type on. Bluetooth disengages when keyboard is docked. Sturdy frame

Packs on considerable weight and bulk

Logitech Fold-Up Keyboard is the iPad’s Transformer-mode—a full keyboard when you need it, that stays neatly out of the way when you don’t.

Logitech Fold-Up Keyboard for iPad 2

Just when you thought you'd seen every iPad keyboard case design under the sun , along comes the $129 Logitech Fold-Up Keyboard for iPad 2. For those who are in love with the idea of the iPad as an office desk accessory, a simple button press...

The clever Logitech Fold-Up Keyboard for iPad 2 butterflies into a keyboard-stand combo with one deft motion, activating Bluetooth pairing automatically. It works with magnetic Smart Covers, too.

The plastic keyboard feels flimsier than other Logitech iPad keyboards, and the case is thick when folded up.

Logitech's unique Fold-Up Keyboard for iPad 2 seems perfect for an executive desk, turning an iPad into a miniworkstation with eye-opening elegance. It's a shame the keyboard doesn't work as magnificently.

Belkin Keyboard Folio for iPad 2

The Belkin Keyboard Folio for iPad 2 adds a physical Bluetooth keyboard to your iPad, and though it's bulky, it's the best iPad case/keyboard combo we've tested.

Excellent-feeling keyboard. Plenty of iPad-specific keys

Hefty. Oddly difficult to open and close

Belkin Keyboard Folio for iPad2

To own an iPad is to wonder, "Could I do all my work on it?" While the onscreen keyboard on an iPad is surprisingly functional, die-hard writers will crave a Bluetooth keyboard or a keyboard case , of which there are several good examples out there....

Despite being a keyboard case, the Belkin Keyboard Folio for iPad 2 can also be used in folio mode without the keyboard getting in the way much, plus the keyboard itself is excellent and responsive.

The slightly floppy, flappy design might not appeal to some; also, when the iPad 2 is in the case, it's much thicker than a regular case without a keyboard.

The Belkin Keyboard Folio for the iPad 2 is a strangely designed but surprisingly smart keyboard case with a strong keyboard and a flexible set of versatile transforming shapes for everyday use, although you might be annoyed by its thickness.

Logitech iPad 2 Keyboard Case by ZAGG

Tablets like the iPad 2 are quickly sneaking up on laptops as the preferred device for computing while traveling or casual at-home use. But one of the biggest drawbacks to the functionality of the iPad is its lack of a real keyboard. Typing anything...

Easy pairing ; Good size keyboard ; Slim design ; Special function keys ; Aluminum exterior ; Useful in portrait and landscape modes

Difficult to open and close ; Doesn’t secure iPad ; Doesn’t protect back of iPad ; Cheap plastic hinge

The Logitech Keyboard Case for iPad 2 functions beautifully as a Bluetooth keyboard, but fails as a protective case.

Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard Case for the iPad 2

Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard Case for the iPad 2 Review by Adel Gabot

Keyboard is solid and professionally built ; Case made from aircraft-grade aluminum

Case attaches to iPad a little flimsily ; Overall, the case is a bit big and thick

In fact, I’ve been writing this on the system right now, using Blogsy, a convenient blogging software that lets me input entries in WordPress blogs. And I’m learning how to drag photos into my blog post, and all sorts of stuff. I’m looking forward to...

Logitech Fold-Up Keyboard Review

Apple's iPad 2, while great for watching a YouTube video or surfing the net, is far from an ideal device for taking notes or hammering out a long email to grandma. Sure, iOS 5 will offer [...]

The full sized Bluetooth keyboard is a pleasure to type on ; Fold out design makes it very portable ; Super long battery life should last for months

All plastic build and a wide number of hinges makes the durability questionable, though I had no problems ; Pricey at $129.99

Reviews: Belkin YourType Folio + Keyboard for iPad2/iPad (3rd-Gen)

Designed with a folio-style setup, YourType uses the same soft fabric frame as its predecessors to hold the iPad in place. The neoprene material is sporty feeling, and while better than the boxy frames we’re still seeing from some less inspired...

Thankfully, Belkin refined the monstrous foldout system found in Keyboard Folio. Now the keyboard is attached to the inside of the front cover, as opposed to hiding in its own flap. This significantly reduces the size of the case in both closed and...

Reviews: Belkin Keyboard Folio for iPad 2

Keyboard Folio is almost identical to the company's earlier Slim Folio Stand, with the obvious addition of the keyboard that makes it incredibly long when unfolded—about 27.5” total—and thicker. There are a few other small differences, though: the blue...

At the end of our review of Slim Folio Stand, we said “We hope that Belkin does refine this case in the future, as it has serious potential to improve.” Unfortunately, the company didn’t take this opportunity to change the housing in any positive way;...

First Looks: Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad 2/iPad (3rd-Gen)

Logitech has spent a considerable amount of time iterating on the portable iPad keyboard theme, and its latest concept -- the Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad ($100) -- is unquestionably its most impressive design yet. Using a metallic and plastic...
