Of course you can not expect the feel of a very high quality notebook keyboard - after both keyboards are unlikely thin, so that the combination iPad + keyboard is not all too much bulk.
And also in terms of functionality should not expect the convenience of a notebook: A pure service exclusively with keyboard, without the need to not always again briefly switch for an input on the touch screen is not possible. But that is the iPad operating system iOS and even the Apple Wireless Keyboard (which does not serve as iPad sleeve) of the case.
But in two criteria are both keyboards a very good compromise, and I can see no difference in use criteria. For other decision criteria are mE significantly, the decision difficult.
Benefits Ultra Thin:
+ Inclination angle changed (but I would not hand it put into the fire, how long does this tilt mechanism: Each touch on the screen, he is subject to a small load).
The area required for the keyboard, is about 2-3 cm shorter (backwards) - Little advantage in confined spaces (train, flyers)
+ Folded Ultrathin + iPad is slightly thinner than Type + + iPad
Disadvantages Ultra Thin:
- I would Ultrathin + iPad not "collapsed" stuck in a pocket. An envelope with real protection is the Ultra Thin nähmlich not: The back of the iPad is not protected at all. And the touch screen, if one discovers Ultra Thin + iPad in a bag, presumably not reliably protected: The magnet mechanism by which the door opens quite cool (see Logitech Product Video) secured the iPad not really sure (as was the Ultra Thin from iPad 2 more convincing). For me, this is only possible with separate Ultrathin iPad case.
- Both keyboards are not intended for high-Kanz use
Advantage Type +
+ Significantly better protection of the front and back of the iPad
Disadvantages Type +
- To touch operation of the iPad with folded back keyboard makes the Type + the whole pretty unwieldy. Actually, a knock-out criterion, so that an alternative, handy shell is inevitable here.
- A rigid tilt angle
- The space required by the keyboard on the train, 1-2 cm long and 2-3 cm wide - kIeiner drawback in confined spaces (train, flyers)
- Folded Type + + is thicker than iPad Ultrathin iPad +
- Both keyboards are not intended for high-Kanz use
I really struggled with the decision myself. The de facto lack of cases feature the Ultra and the bulkiness of the type +, when to fold the keyboard for touch operation to the rear, are both strong disadvantages. However, the keyboards are too expensive to maintain both. Therefore I will'll probably opt for the Ultra together by hand, flattering sheath Schieldon Real Leather Smart Cover for iPad Air 2).
