It's honestly the best case that I've ever bought
I really like how it really looks like and feels like that it could take quite a beating and my iPad would still be perfectly fine. The size is small for a rugged case, which I enjoy. I love the backlit keys also. And I really like that you can change the color too! I absolutely love that you can remove the screen from the keypad. It also stays in place really well when you come t it back to the keyboard.

I absolutely love this case and keyboard from ZAGG! It’s a bit on the heavier side, but that’s actually a plus — I know my iPad is always perfectly protected. The quality is great, made from solid, durable plastic. I did have a bit of trouble putting the case on at first, but aside from that, everything has been perfect. What I love most is how smoothly the keyboard works — it’s fast, responsive, and syncs perfectly with my movements. Typing feels effortless and super comfortable. And the USB-C cable is just perfect — I can charge my phone, iPad, and keyboard with the same charger. So convenient and practical. Honestly, such a great setup!

Rugged and Versatile – ZAGG Rugged Book Keyboard & Case
I’ve been using the ZAGG Rugged Book Detachable Case with Magnetic-Hinged Keyboard for my iPad Air and it’s been a game-changer. The keyboard delivers a satisfying, laptop-style typing experience with backlit keys and multi-device Bluetooth pairing—perfect for switching between my iPad and phone. The case is built like a tank, offering military-grade drop protection up to 6.6 feet and a magnetic hinge that locks in multiple viewing modes (keyboard, video, book, and case mode). Setup was seamless—just pair via Bluetooth, and I was ready in under a minute. The lithium polymer battery lasts ridiculously long—I’ve gone weeks between charges

I Loved It Until I Didn’t. *CANNOT* recommend.
Editing my original review, which still can be found below. Updated Review: While I really loved this case originally, it stopped working within 6 months. I assumed it must be my fault or something because I had loved the first one I bought for over a year. Unfortunately, it was outside the warranty, so I bought another in March 2023. I mostly use my iPad to watch shows or read, but I used the keyboard once a month to take notes during a committee meetings as secretary. Yet, at the end of June 2023, it stopped working yet again. Both times, most of the keys have stopped registering. This time, caps lock is stuck “on” and I can’t even get the keyboard as a whole to turn off. Unfortunately… there’s only a month warranty on the product. So twice in less than a year I’m left hanging. I’ve emailed the company, but they responded that I’m outside of warranty. Despite originally loving this product, I cannot in good faith suggest a product that stops working within a few months. I think my next move is to order on the actual Zagg website as they have extensive warranties and have been amazing to work with in the past — they just can’t fulfill warranties on products bought by a 3rd party. ******************** Original Review: I use my iPad mini like a computer all the time. I originally had this keyboard on my first iPad mini, but after I got a new one, I thought I could go with one that didn't seem so hefty (read: I wanted a super cute pink one instead). Dear reader, let me tell you, that was a mistake. I finally decided after 2 years of hardly using my iPad that maybe if I had the same keyboard I had before that I would use it more. And I do! It is hefty, but in a sturdy kind of way not a too heavy kind of way. The iPad section easily pops off if I just want to have that without the keyboard. The keyboard's battery life lasts and lasts, and easily connects to the iPad. People are always asking me where I got it and are saying how cute my "tiny laptop" is. Plus, it's made doing my on-the-go writing way easier. My fingers fit perfectly to the keys and I type just as easily as I do my full sized laptop. Lastly, I no longer have to worry about being clumsy... I've dropped this thing a few times and it's protected.

Great Case, Short Lived Keyboard Battery, Uneven Customer Support
Great case even though it is heavy. It is very durable and has protected my iPad on many trips. The keyboard charge lasts a long the time. However, after about 1 year the battery dies and will not accept a charge (this is my third case and the second one with that problem). So far their customer support has fallen off. I have contacted Zagg and they told me it would be replaced with an improved case for $11.01. I agreed to accept the new case. I discovered that my credit card account was charged twice. Today I checked my order on the Zagg support site and was informed that it was canceled. It seems that their support depends on a roll of dice, sometimes it is excellent, other times it doesn’t exist. After contacting Zagg I determined that they refunded the $11.01 charge. They explained that their bot requires a .pdf copy of my Amazon receipt and explained how to get it. With that I contacted their warranty bot again and a replacement case will be shipped within 2-3 business days.

The perfect case I was looking for!
Absolutely awesome! I have looked many places in at many cases for my iPad a 16 with 512 gig of RAM. This tablet is $649 and I wanted something to protect it well and enhance it not take away from. This case fits absolutely perfect. I tried the Logitech and they are a good case however, they did not fit well on the iPad. I kept popping out. The only thing I miss on this is the microphone on the function keys but other than that, it’s A+ quality a second to none very happy and I’m sure AMAZON will be happy that we’re not returning it yet another keyboard case cause it fell short.

A great case of taking your iPad mini out and about. The case protects the iPad well. The keyboard works efficiently and can easily detach from the screen cover so the iPad can be held more easily when using it for reading. Alternatively, fold the case the other way round and it acts as a stand whilst you watch a movie. A great, well made, multi purpose cover.

This is my second one - the first lasted close on 5 years to the day! I use it daily and tend to be a bit rough with stuff and this is brilliant- only reason for one less star is new design is a bit different and I prefer the old one - the keyboard is slightly different so I’m still adjusting. Highly recommend this product.
