iPad 3 compatibility can be fixed
As others have noted, while this keyboard/case is physically compatible with the new iPad (3), its magnet fails to turn the iPad on and off when the case is opened and closed. Many cases have this problem, which is due to a change in Apple's design: the iPad 3 requires that the magnet have a certain polarity, while the iPad 2 did not. Thus any case made for the iPad 2 (including, by the way, Apple's own Smart Covers!) has a 50-50 chance of working properly with the iPad 3. However, there's an easy fix in this case (pun intended): 1. Slide the Bluetooth keyboard out of the ZAGGfolio case. 2. Inside the case, where the spacebar end of the keyboard rested, there is a thin (1/4") plastic strip. Insert a knife blade into the gap at the top of this strip and gently pry. The strip will come out fairly easily, leaving behind a few blobs of glue. 3. Looking closely at the area that was covered by the strip, you'll see near the center a tiny compartment with a bit of silver visible. That's the magnet. Use a paperclip to coax it out. Flip it over and replace it, then replace the plastic strip and the Bluetooth keyboard. The case will now turn the iPad 3 on and off, and will work equally well with an iPad 2. If you don't feel like going to this much trouble, then don't buy the case until ZAGG fixes it. But if you already own one of these--or if you want the best keyboard/case on the market, which this unquestionably is, and are willing to do a little tinkering--you can fix the problem yourself as described.
