Top Amazon Reviews

🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The Zagg Keyboard for iPad is highly regarded for its outstanding battery life, rugged and durable design, easy detachment feature, and dedicated space for the Apple Pencil. However, the prevalent complaint among users is the tendency of the hinge that supports the iPad to distort or break after some extended period of use, typically around 1-2 years. Some users have found ways to extend the life of the hinge with extra care and treatments like WD-40.

Pros

  • 🔋 Incredible battery life, requiring infrequent charging
  • 💪 High level of durability and rugged design making it impact-resistant
  • 👌 Easy detachment of the iPad from the keyboard for flexible use
  • 🎨 Keyboard backlight with seven color choices and three brightness levels
  • 🍏 Dedicated holder for Apple Pencil
  • ⌨️ Generally enjoyed typing experience with little to no lag

Cons

  • 🔩 Hinge durability, tends to break or distort after a while
  • ➕ Adds bulk to the iPad, though this is a trade-off for the ruggedness
  • 💿 Difficulty in inserting the iPad into the detachable case due to tight fit
  • ⚙️ Certain key functions, like a globe button and port covers, do not perform as expected

Should I Buy It?

If you prioritize durability, long battery life, and a tablet-keyboard hybrid use-case, then this product would be a suitable choice. Its design for harsh conditions and impact resistance is highly appreciated. You ought to consider the trade-off of requiring potential replacement every couple of years due to hinge issues, but overall, it's a great product for users seeking a rugged and reliable iPad keyboard.


  • Compact, tough and convenient
Style: iPad Pro 10.5" (Gen 2)/ iPad Air 10.5" (...
I bought this for my school iPad because the ambulance company I worked for had them and I love them. Lots of rubber around the whole thing for shock protection, I have a space for my Apple Pencil, keyboard is though enough to support the weight of the iPad so I don’t need a stand on the back and I can detach the keyboard to use with my computer. Very compact and handy little work station. Only problem I do have is the covers for the charging port and the headphone jack will lose integrity and fall off over time with regular use. ... show more

  • I would buy it again
Style: iPad Pro 10.5" (Gen 2)/ iPad Air 10.5" (...
I honestly love this. It feels super sturdy and gives my iPad way more protection than any case I’ve used before. The keyboard connects easily with Bluetooth and types really smooth. I really like that it even lights up, which is a nice bonus. I also like that I can switch between devices and use the case in different positions. The battery lasts forever, and the built-in spot for an Apple Pencil keeps everything together. It’s a little bulky, but totally worth it for how durable and functional it is. ... show more

  • Quality case a keyboard
Style: iPad Pro 11" (Gen 1 to 4)/ iPad Air 10.9...
Was skeptical at first with quite a few reviews saying the keyboard doesn’t last, but decided to try it anyway. So far so good, it is the most durable case i could find for the iPad Pro, with a keyboard. Time will tell how on how long it lasts. The magnet holds the pied very strong and sable, no issues with accidental release. Backlit keyboard works well and connects quickly with no issues. Wouldn’t mind a little brighter for the brightest setting for the key board. Other then that its a quality case and keyboard ... show more

  • I Loved It Until I Didn’t. *CANNOT* recommend.
Style: iPad Mini (5th Generation)
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. ... show more

  • Great Case, Short Lived Keyboard Battery, Uneven Customer Support
Style: iPad Pro 10.5" (Gen 2)/ iPad Air 10.5" (...
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. ... show more
