--- Update 25/10/2013 ---
Today I finally received my anchor Ultra Slim Bluetooth Keyboard. When unpacking it is noticeable that the processing seems to be good and the compact design is truly the mobile world justice. Although I bought the keyboard primarily for my Nexus 7 of the second generation, you should also work for the iPad 3. Connecting on both devices was possible without any problems - the keyboard was immediately recognized both the Nexus 7, as well as the iPad. As stated already in the description of the keyboard is primarily designed for Apple devices. This means for Android that not all keys are the same and has the functionality of some keys on Android is not given in the same form. Positive to mention here, however, that anchor reflect the various functions for Windows, Android and Apple in a summary table in the description. Biggest drawback for me: The LED for Caps-Lock has in Nexus 7 does not function - after the first attempt with a second Android device seems the problem only when Nexus 7 (2013) to exist.

My rating:
+ Compact design
+ Solid workmanship
o pleasant keystroke
- Buttons could be a bit wider - personally I find, however, that this is a good compromise between size and usability was found.
- Android specific keys like @, etc. are not shown in the keyboard.
- LED for Caps-Lock has the Nexus 7 does not function

Conclusion: If you use an external keyboard only for Apple devices, I can complain about anything negative. Especially in my case, however, where I want to use the keyboard for my Nexus 7 primary - and only secondarily on iPad - I have to hold, however, that the lack of function of the LED for Caps-Lock is very negative for me, as it in finds tap after the first letter that the feature is enabled. For this reason, there is of me only 3 out of 5 stars. Whether that is a reason for me to return the keyboard I'll think it over.
