Keyboard cases for other iPad models all have the same obvious problem: the tablet has to be propped up at a viewing angle somehow. All of these designs have their tradeoffs.
In the case of the iPad mini, though, the solution is pretty simple. The tablet is small and light enough that it can be placed into a clamshell-style case and used at a variety of angles without tipping over, no kickstand required. The case is made of lightweight plastic with a fabric finish. The resulting combination is about the same size and weight as a hardback notebook, and you can toss it into just about any bag no problem.
I mostly use the iPad mini one-handed in portrait mode, so this would have been a dealbreaker. Now, obviously the keys are pretty cramped, and sacrifices had to be made in the layout. Typing words with apostrophes takes a little practice. But the keys themselves feel fine, and the typing experience is much better than using the on-screen keyboard. Together with the adjustable RGB backlighting, this actually might be my first choice for tray-table typing on a flight.
There are a couple of other design quirks I should note. Zagg does, however claim a somewhat implausible two full years of battery life, so at least that hassle should be infrequent. I love tiny computers, and the Zagg Folio turns the iPad mini into a great one. The product is clearly pretty niche — just look at the new mainstream But if you did buy an iPad mini in , you probably love it.
And if you do actually want to type on it, you could do a lot worse than the Zagg Folio. Subscribe to get the best Verge-approved tech deals of the week. Exterior is nice looking and has held up very well.
The case folds into multiple positions and can be used on the lap. If I was to buy another, I would spend the extra for Zagg with backlighting the Messinger Folio dos not have backlighting although, I am very happy with this unit and the price I paid!
This is my 3rd zagg. Everyday use it lasts about 2 years. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: New. This key pad case is s perfect fit for my new IPad. I would highly recommend it. Skip to main content.
