LogitechUltrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad mini - Silver

This device is insanely good.After reading the reviews, and considering the Fn + Q for the Tab key issue, I took a leap and bought it. This baby is amazing. Not only does it easily magnetically clip and unclip to the side of the unit, the hands-free angle slot is very snug in both portrait and landscape.And yes, this does double as a case as long as you don't plan on dropping the unit violently or stacking anything on top of it. Not a child-friendly case, but certainly a business friendly one.One spectacular side note. An iPad mini in with this attached keyboard WILL fit into the front pocket of a pair of Khaki pants or the back pocket of a pair of jeans. Just don't try to sit down like that. That means I can walk into a sales meeting with hands free to open doors, shake hands, hold a coat or hand over deliverables without having to hold onto the unit or have a strap over my shoulder. My suite pockets are large, so it will likely fit into that as well, but if you're wearing a suit, you'd probably not want to use that functionality... just because you can doesn't mean you should.The keyboard is actually very easy to adjust to. Aside from the number keys being right-shifted from 1 to 5 (at 6 it is exactly where you expect it). There's only one rule to follow that will make your life easier: Put your left hand down first pinky on the left edge and then lay your fingers down from there. You'll always land on the F - J index finger spots and you're good to go. I have found that by doing this, I can type on it in the dark - proof that it is a fully functional keyboard.I bought the black because I have the Space Gray mini. When open, the black material of this keyboard blends seamlessly with the mini; however, the backsides do not. The keyboard has a much darker charcoal / dark steel look, which I find better because scratches and grime tend to not show on this color as much as it does on the space gray. Also, you'll quickly know which side is up.Only complaint is the bluetooth button is a bit small and I haven't quite figured out how to get it to wake up and sleep on open/close yet, but that's probably because I haven't read up on the documentation. Sorry for not being able to confirm this feature.If you have a mini and need a keyboard. Quit looking and buy this one.Five stars, easy.

This is an absolutely outstanding keyboard cover: small, light, well-built, and critically, with an *actually usable keyboard*. I have tried a number of other iPad mini-sized keyboards, none of which are remotely usable for actual high-speed typing. This one is not only better-built, nicer-looking, nicer-feeling, and with a nicer magnetic cover attachment, it is actually quite usable as a keyboard.I was never a fan of keyboard covers for the full-sized iPad: they took something already on the upper limit of the size and weight I would want, and roughly doubled both. The SmartCover is the only thing that ever made sense for me with a full-sized iPad. The iPad mini is an entirely different story, however: it is so small that this keyboard cover gives you a combined device which is still extremely small and light, which being far more productive and ergonomic for long-form writing.If you write on an iPad mini, buy this. Period.

Reviews for this keyboard placed it far above other keyboards for the iPad mini, so I ordered it. I am VERY disappointed, both in the keyboard and in Amazon's delivery:1) Keyboard, limited as it is to the size of the iPad mini, is too small to type upon accurately. I realize that the iPad mini size constrains the keyboard size, and if this were the only problem, I'd be fine, as I expected this limit. But it isn't the only problem...2) The spacebar does not insert a space if tapped within 1/2" of either end. If they could not make the entire length of the spacebar work, why not just shorten it? It would still be long enough. Right now, its length causes the expectation that one should be able to tap it anywhere, and when you can't, it causes frustration;3) The autocorrect function does not work as well. For example, if I type "ipad" into the virtual touchscreen keyboard of my iPad mini, it corrects it to "iPad." However, if I type it into this keyboard, it remains as "ipad," though underlined indicating a possible spelling error;4) This item is listed multiple times, at multiple prices, on Amazon's site. Several (more than one) of these listings indicate an affiliation with Amazon as supplier (e.g., "eligible for Amazon Prime.") My first order was to order the least expensive one. I then found it had both an extended delivery time (over two weeks!) and a delivery fee ($7 to $10... don't remember exactly). I cancelled that order. Then I ordered it from an entry that listed Amazon Prime and said Amazon was the supplier. It indicated it may take 1-2 days longer for delivery, but then quoted a delivery date again over 10 days away. Since I was using an Amazon gift card for a portion of the purchase, and each time I cancelled required me to make sure the gift card got restored, I just left the order stand. Amazon did, after about 4 days, proudly state that they were going to send it earlier than expected, so I got it I think within about a week of order. However, I am accustomed to using Amazon Prime all the time and getting two-day delivery. Since this item is widely available in stores (Apple, Best Buy, and others), I could not imagine why it took so long.5) To top it off, the first time I was writing this review, I was using the keyboard and the iPad mini. The small keyboard caused me to hit some unknown button when the review was nearly done, and the review vanished (I was also using the Amazon iPad app, so there was no simple "back" arrow). I have resorted to a full-sized desk-top PC for this second attempt!6) Unlike the iPad mini "Smart Cover," the magnet in this keyboard is not strong enough for its weight to allow you to fully fold the keyboard behind the mini, if you are choosing not to use it. You have to take it off and set it aside.The product doubles both the weight and the thickness of my iPad mini. In the words of the current Apple commercial, "Does it deserve to exist?" I would say NO. If it did not have the typing or mounting problems, I might accept its size as a fair penalty for a keyboard, but not with these problems.Oh I wish Apple would choose to make keyboard cases for its iPad mini! It did make a fabulous "keyboard dock" for the original iPad, so good that it has kept me from buying a newer full-sized iPad (because they don't make a corresponding keyboard dock for them).And I REALLY wish Amazon would simplify the ordering process for this item to have ONE Amazon-labeled listing, with two-day delivery for Amazon Prime members.Right now, if you had to have this keyboard, I would recommend you get it from a physical store such as Apple or Best Buy. You may pay more, but you will avoid a lot of nonsense.
