Ionic Bluetooth Keyboard Tablet Stand Leather Case for "The New iPad" 3rd Gen 2012 Model & Apple iPa

I gave only 4 stars because I am not in love with the keyboard. It's very good but not excellent. I purchased the white and orange case. (ps.. it's tangerine orange not red)

The good: I think the price is outstanding. I think the look is great, too. Doesn't look cheap. I connected to the iPad 3 with barely any effort. Shipped in a professional package with easy to follow pairing instructions. The case does wake and put the iPad 3 to sleep. The keyboard is designed for Mac users so the keys are familiar. The top function keys are awesome and an added bonus if you ask me. You get function keys -Play, rewind, fast forward, volume, monitor brightness, search, the up down right left arrows.. The case also has a Kick stand on back of the screen to prop up the iPad.

The bad: The keys are all flat and smooth. No contrast when typing .. It's not comfortable for me and I make a lot of errors and miss letters and the space bar because of it. HOWEVER it's still better than the virtual keyboard which I hate and who knows I may get use to it .. Its better than the one-finger peck typing on the ipad's virtual keyboard. Also no vertical display only horizontal. There's no track pad probably because the ipad is touch screen but I still tried to swipe an imaginary one out of habit.

I honestly don't know what people's expectations are when it comes to a keyboard for a tablet. Honestly, this case is a wonder. The look is very professional and it's padded on the outer cover so it can have protection just incase you have accidents. First of all, the ipad fits PERFECT in the case. It does not move at all, and all the buttons on the sides or top are completely exposed so its easily reachable. The keyboard attaches itself perfectly to the case using magnetic technology. Even if you take it off (which is just pull it up) and throw it at the case, it will fall and pull itself in perfect place. Now, you might be thinking if the keyboard easily comes off, the answer is no. I tested by shaking the cover and swinging it fast but the keyboard did not come off at all, so you can always type and move your arms around and for sure the keyboard will always stay put. The stand on the back of the case looks very stylish and its hard to comprehend that it's actually a stand considering that it sticks to the cover using magnetic technology just like the keyboard and it looks as if its a part of the case design. It has a little cloth which you can pull to bring out the stand so you can mount your ipad and turn it into a laptop. The stand is very duarable, and it even holds the ipad on soft surfaces such as bed/couches (tested) while you type. Now for the battery life of the keyboard, continuous use it can last for about 2-3 hours, and if not in use, it can last for about 4 months (That's what the company stated). The keyboard connection uses bluetooth, which is extremely easy to connect. To connect all you do is turn on your keyboard and go to your ipad bluetooth settings, turn it on, and click on the keyboard's name when it appears and it connects in less than a second, done. The size of the keyboard is about the same as the iPad so about 9 inches and honestly if your a regular computer user, usinig this keyboard will be a breeze, even if its a little small. The letters are placed just like a regular keyboard and you can pretty much control all your functions of the ipad through it, such as sound/brightness/photos etc.

Honestly, for the price this thing is a steal. Crazyondigital might not be a wide known company, but I am sure glad I stumbled across this item and decided to take a chance. Hope I helped!

Fun Fact: I wrote this entire review on the keyboard on my iPad. Another fun fact, when I ordered this item, USPS lost it in the mail and when I informed Crazyondigital after a week, they sent me another one within two days. This company has great customer service so don't hesitate buying this product.

My case arrived last week. I have been using it and so far so good. Yes, the keyboard is small but what do you expect from a tablet keyboard? The bluetooth synced instantly. I like that the keyboard is detachable. The on-board speaker is great for listing to music as it amplify the sound from iPad 3. This case and keyboard really lets you streamline your desktop or larger laptop computer into a compact size. With applications like Evernote, Ghostwriter and LogMeIn (remote desktop access) my iPad2 becomes a compact computer away from home. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

When I got my iPad3 I did a lot of research on cases and wouldn't even take my ipad out of the box until I had the case and screen protector ready to go (torture!).

A keyboard was important to me, and I came close to buying the $80 keyboard case at Best Buy. SO glad I didn't.

First this case is really cute. Like another reviewer said, it is not red but rather a tangerine orange which is actually a 'pro' in my opinion. The leather is high quality. The magnets work and put the iPad into sleep mode when you shut it.

The keyboard works great. Of course it's very small and a little hard to type on, but there really isn't any getting around that since it has to fit the width of the ipad. I LOVE that the keyboard can be removed. This is a huge bonus! I really don't need the keyboard that often after all. If I'm going grocery shopping and using my iPad for my grocery list, I leave the keyboard at home for example.

The keyboard did not come with instructions on how to connect and being pretty ignorant to how bluetooth devices work I had no idea what to do. I called the customer service number and got a human being right away. She was not the most friendly, customer service oriented person I've ever spoken to. But still she was better than talking to an automated system and she helped me figure it out sort of. She didn't walk me through step by step or anything, it as more like "well did you go to the bluetooth settings on your ipad?" and then I had to figure out where those were, but once I did it was easy to figure out from there.

I guess the only criticism I have for this product is I wish the stand was sturdier. It's kinda floppy. It works don't get me wrong, but only on a flat surface like a table. If you have it propped up in your lap or something it probably won't stay propped up. Not a huge issue really, I'd still highly recommend this case especially for the price.

I bought this case because it had the keyboard that i need for my work. The case doesn't matter much to me. However, I only noticed how nice it is when I repeatedly received compliments from my colleagues. The case give the iPad a very professional look yet classy. If you use the iPad with this case in Starbuck, you will get several head-turns. The keyboard is very responsive and easy to type on. I highly recommend this case if you want to impress someone.
