★★★★☆
Good design, buggy tech
I have a slightly different perspective than the other reviewers. I bought this because I do a lot of iPadding on the train and wanted an all in one keyboard/case. The form factor is OK. The keyboard is small, but that's somewhat expected. It's definitely easier than typing on the touchscreen. The faux leather is of good quality and is holding up nicely. The problems I'm having are with the keyboard double-typing. Every other word it double types a letter. I'm a pretty fast typer, so I don't know if that's the issue or what, but it's to the point where it's unusable for typing long emails, which defeats the purpose of the thing. I also am having issues with the bluetooth pairing being forgotten. I've had to re-pair it 4 or 5 times. I contacted technical support about both issues and haven't heard back yet. If there is a resolution, I'll update this listing. Right now, my suggestion is to not purchase this item. Great concept, bad execution.
UPDATE: Per the comments below, the vendor has sent me an updated unit and the above issues with the keyboard typing and pairing has been resolved. Raising review from 2 to 4 stars.
