This lo-tech iPad keyboard cover works well and does what it is supposed to do. It's not a hinged device; you simply put the iPad into the slot and connect the two items via bluetooth. It's such a light keyboard that it almost feels shabbily made, but it's probable that its light weight feels "cheap" because it has no heft. I found the keys responsive and easy to type on. Unfortunately, I did not receive an owner's manual so was not sure what all of the keys did.

You can buy it here:

Pros:

- Very light weight!
- The iPad and keyboard sync very easily, especially compared to other similar devices
- Battery lasts forever
- Some of the hotkeys are very useful, like the app list one

Cons:

- That light weight can feel a bit cheap
- The charging cord was hard to get into the charging slot
- The pop-up stand does not snap into place automatically; you have to lock it with your finger.

I received this product at a discounted rate (or free in some cases) in exchange for an honest and open review. I am not sharing a link to a referral or anything like that; all links go to just the store page in case someone wants to buy the product.
