Logitech still at their FabricSkin Keyboard Folio is a plan in terms of functionality. The shell contains a full Bluetooth keyboard.
But first, for processing and qualitative impression. The processing makes a very high-quality impression, shortcomings I can not discover.
The cover feels like fabric. This is pleasant, somewhat stain resistant and non-slip. The inside of the keyboard is made of sunflower yellow plastic which anmutet also high. Yellow course is a delicate color, the legibility of the letters on the keyboard, however, is optimal.
The iPad can be easily attached to the shell, and Bluetooth is activated, the (pre-loaded) keyboard is in the envelope immediately, without entering a code, etc. recognized class!
The protective effect is likely to be rudimentary, as with all my known casings. During a fall from the desk on carpeting it should still guarantee protection (tested I did not!), Your investment in your pocket with keys in common transport also, but you should not expect more.
In contrast to the model for the iPads 2 to 4 the iPad is clamped only on one side, the seat is thus but still absolutely determined because the open side is the inside.
The keyboard fills the entire possible width of the envelope, and so allows for a 10-finger writing for people with large hands. It is a real QWERTY keyboard with umlauts and ß, however, without number pad. In addition, some function keys are assigned, as well as very useful the Home button of the iPad.
The tactile feedback of the keypad is for this construction astonishingly accurate and enjoyable. For longer texts, the keyboard is thus a substantial improvement over the built-in virtual keyboard of the iPad.
To write the iPad is placed in a 100 ° angle to the keyboard side, where it holds magnetically bombproof. This is a very stable matter, and should be perfect for most people and applications, but the angle can not be adjusted, but if you once want it any other way. If you want to use the iPad to read, the keyboard can also fold.
But the biggest drawback of the shell is the weight: over 400 grams increased the envelope the weight of the iPad again by about 80%, which makes itself while holding with one hand already felt negative impact, however, is expected in the necessary functionality also hardly avoidable be.
Conclusion:
Who just a little surfing or playing, is likely to be happier with a different, lighter and cheaper envelope.
But who with his IPad wrote many texts, or the equipment used do professionally, here gets a qualitatively excellent and technically sophisticated shell with an absolutely well-functioning keyboard, and can be accessed here unhesitatingly at the high price.
