Using the iPad Air is a delight, its processor and lightness are great. I'm not going to discover anything new about this latest iPad. But I still think that to get the most out of iPads you need to add a keyboard. Today we are going to talk about a keyboard called ZAGGkeys Folio that together with the iPad Air go like a glove.
The ZAGGKeys Folio is very similar to the model available for the iPad Mini. It is basically the same device but bigger to fit the iPad Air perfectly. Connects via Bluetooth to iPad Air. It fully protects the iDevice when it is closed and shows its keyboard when it is unfolded. When folding the keyboard the device turns off and wakes up when we mount it to start typing.
All the main specifications of this keyboard for iPad Air are:
- Length: 173,2 mm
- Width: mm 242,6
- Depth: 17,7mm (folded with iPad Air)
- Depth without iPad Air: 7,6mm
- Weight: 535 grams
- Battery: 950 mAh rechargeable lithium polymer
The top is a simple plastic tray where the iPad Air is inserted. The iPad Air fits with a click that will warn us of the perfect fit. To separate it from the case, we have to gently turn the corner of the cover and pull the iPad Air out. It has a tab on the back, that allows the adjustment of the Tablet to place it in various viewing angles depending on the situation in which we find ourselves.
The keys they respond quickly and the route of the same is very good. There are five rows of keys, including one for the number keys and another with the special keys for operating the iPad Air. These include cut, copy and paste very useful in many situations.
The Folio is a backlit keyboard that offers three brightness and seven colors: red, light green, dark green, light blue, dark blue, lilac and white. At the bottom left of the keyboard, there is a key that indicates the battery life. From ZAGG they report that the duration can be several months, with two hours of daily use.
In addition to the full keyboard, ideal for typing, Folio has four arrow keys which are ideal for moving through documents without having to press on the iPad screen. They are next to the undo / rewrite keys in the top row.
Currently the price of this backlit keyboard for the iPad Air is 99 dollars.
