Some observations on this item:1. Pairing with the iPad was easy, as expected. This is done via a Bluetooth connection.2. The keyboard cover is actually fairly substantial and heavy. So it will definitely add weight to your backpack. That said, the weight is important in giving excellent stability when using. Very sturdy feel, and the angle for holding the screen above the keyboard is perfect.3. The keys on the keyboard are very solid. Fairly quiet but with a rugged feel. Great size to enable error free typing.4. The trackpad is excellent. Makes selecting and browsing through apps on your iPad a breeze, as well as quickly scrolling through content.5. The shortcut keys seem to work as advertised, with one exception (see below). Quick access to brightness, volume, etc. I particularly like the shortcut that provides an easy view of all open apps, allowing you to select among them or to force shut any down.6. Hitting the function (or the lower leftmost key with the globe icon) brings up very useful contextual menus, allowing various selections.7. There is a fitted case for the iPad itself that is held in place magnetically to the keyboard case. This fitted case is lightweight and provides easy access to all iPad buttons. This is ideal, as you can hold just this when reading or doing other activities. In this regard, the weight of the keyboard case is not an issue since you can easily just remove and use the iPad with the light fitted case.8. The only thing that doesn’t seem to work as advertised is the backlight and color selection (at least on my unit). These are supposedly the function + 5 or 6 key but it doesn’t seem to do anything. Although when the unit powers on, the backlight is lit and it cycles through the colors, I can’t seem to change settings. That said, this is a feature of little use to me but still an apparent flaw (either in the unit I received or in the instructions). Therefore, I haven’t really bothered to troubleshoot. EDIT: I just spent a little time with it and the instructions are wrong. There are 2 keys at the top of the keyboard that adjust these settings. The one that looks like a half sun (above & midway between the 6 & 7) changes brightness and turns off the backlight. The half sun with arrows (above and midway between the 7 & 8) changes color. You just have to hit the key; no need for combo with the function key.Overall, a great keyboard case and iPad case – sturdy, ergonomic and generally works as advertised. Recommended.

I like that you can switch landscape to portrait for the ipad. My one disappointment with the keyboard is how weak the base is. It works best to hold or move, with it closed than with the holding the keyboard alone. The base is quite slim compared to the ipad so it bends slightly if you were to hold it by the keyboard and not the ipad.

Very pleased to be able to rotate my iPad from horizontal to vertical with a strong magnet.

Keyboard is great, track pad is good, backlight is fine. If you don’t need to transport it a lot as you would a laptop it’s a great option.

I’m not sure if I’ll keep it only because it’s so heavy and awkward. I do like the option to remove it from the keyboard

Very nice! Affordable and has more use than the apple version because of the function rows.

The ability to hold the iPad in both horizontal and vertical positions while still having use of the keyboard is fantastic! It’s study and holds in place very well, and being able to easily use it without the keyboard- but still in a case- is really handy. Hard to find anything to complain about here. I’ve had a number of ESR products over the past few years now and they’ve all been excellent, this is no exception to that.

Worked seamlessly out of the box. Good quality. Arrived quickly. I have used the keyboard for about a week and couldn’t ask for more.
