To select the iPad Bag SLIM-LINE by Avanto and the iPad Bag by Joyfect came (iPad Case with Keyboard for iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad 3)
Both bags make at first glance a good impression in terms of workmanship and the keyboards were at the ready and okay. Due to the size of the iPad the shell or the keyboard is also quite small and that affects logically on the size of the keys, but you get used to after a short time and then makes a review on the iPad even more fun. In terms of form factor of the casing Avato falls Although at first glance better, because it is slimmer, but when it comes to longevity, I see a major weakness in the two rubber bands that are responsible for keeping the stand. It's just a matter of time until the are by and then the iPad can no longer be placed un generally the stand is not very wide and therefore has a not so good grip. Here the envelope of Joyfect has the great advantage, because the stand extends down the back and ensures a very stable support of iPads. Both keyboards have function keys on the top row with the man (Home, Brightness, Slideshow, iPad keyboard open / close, search, skip-back / play / skip forward, volume / Silent, iPad Lock) Setting etc. Both are by Micro-USB cable and charge the battery is exclusively the operation of the keyboard and keeps about 80 days of standby and 100 hours use by and is therefore very well suited for extended missions.
Of the total weight with iPad a difference of just 100 grams is hardly worth mentioning. Because whether 1080 or 1190 grams makes this little difference. In both cases you can use with little effort the iPad and found again. They can be both completely folding, so the keyboard is at the back and it can be used as a normal tablet. In this process, but you should turn off the keyboard because it can otherwise come to unwanted entries. Because it is best carried out this operation directly on the keyboard, instead of awkward to turn off Bluetooth on the menu, the envelope of Joyject is also here again. because your buttons are much easier to achieve and the blue LED located above the keyboard is, and displays the current status and not, as in the case by Avato tucked away at the side.
Compared and I chose here for the output iPad Bag by Joyfect. Use cases can be two way, with iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPad 4 and I've tested it with iPad 2 and iPad 3 and both were trapped in the shell
The shell of Joyfect does not wake up function, but in the case by Avanto does this very inaccurate, which means it is due to the design, etc. is a great danger that you own the iPad in your pocket or backpack at very short intervals and turns, which of course the battery life is not is not good.
