My ClamCase Pro for the iPad Air 2 arrived today... and I love it. I travel a couple of times a year for work and was looking for a solid keyboard case. It comes in very Apple-like packaging. But let's address a few things out the gate. 1. It's heavy. It will take your feather-weight iPad Air 2 and make it feel like a ton of bricks. Which means it's solid. I'm guessing it's made of a tough polycarbonate plastic. The iPad fits snuggly in the lid and snaps in securely. 2. The keyboard is crammed into the width of an iPad Air 2 and is not backlit (which would reduce battery life anyway). Did you expect a wide keyboard? Anyway, I'm a touch-typist and the keyboard is solid and responsive. It doesn't feel cheap and the smallness didn't bother me. 3. Your Apple earbuds will no longer plug into your Air 2 without the supplied pigtail cord. That's not a big deal for me. 4. The Apple Lightning power cord will fit through the case. However, Apple's 30-pin to Lightning adapter will not. 5. It's white. Not my favorite color, but I can live with it. 6. It's expensive, but my (at the time $100-ish) Zagg keyboard case for the iPad 2 feels cheaply made compared to this. 7. It comes with a USB charging cable for the keyboard and a pigtail audio cable for earbuds. It does not come with a wall wart, but your iPad charger will work. You should only need to charge the keyboard once every couple of months anyway. The ClamCase will fold back 360 degrees, so you can use your tablet as a tablet. I thought it wouldn't go that far the first time I tried it, since the hinge is very stiff. Don't let it fool you, the hinge will give and the iPad will fold all the way around. All in all, I'm quite happy with this purchase. I've wanted an iPad case like this for a long time. Update 02/28/15: I used this extensively at a conference for the last couple of days. The bluetooth connection dropped two or three times, even as I was typing notes. Quickest way to reconnect was to forget the keyboard in the iPad's bluetooth settings and re-pair. Overall, I still like the case, but the pairing issue was a bit annoying. Update 05/13/15: I just noticed that the case is developing serious cracks on both sides of the hinge. This is just from daily opening/closing the case. I haven't dropped it or otherwise treated it roughly. I've only owned it for three months. Rating dropped from 5 stars to 1.
