Yes, I'd recommend this product.
This keyboard/case fits all of my needs. The keys are backlit, which helps in a lighting situation I have. There are 2 bluetooth channels which allow me to switch to the second channel and type directly into my phone, a feature I’ve used several times. The half of the case that fits over the ipad detaches easily from the keyboard, and can be flipped for viewing videos or playing games that only require ouch interaction. I am a musician who uses a tablet music stand and the iPad fits on the stand without removing it from the case, which is ideal for me. I also like the apple pen holder, which keeps the pen handy just above the typing keys. I am very pleased with this case.

If you have an iPad Pro go somewhere else. It took me an hour just to get the iPad into the unit, and it’s still doesn’t fit properly. I have to peel the corner so I can access the buttons just to turn it off. It may work for a regular iPad but not a pro.

Excellent iPad case. It seems very heavy duty and I like that I can remove the keyboard so the kids can use the iPad when we’re in the car. The only downside it that it makes the iPad heavier but I do gain protect and versatility.

Very pleased. Keyboard works well, very durable case. It is worth noting how loud the keyboard is (I.e. in meetings or class, this can be distracting). Also the tip of the USB cable broke off - but I had another one and was able to charge.

My husband LOVES IT! Quality keys & case. Excellent rugged protection and not too heavy. Feels great in your hands when detached from the keyboard too.

Recently as the owner of an Apple iPad Air 2 with a Zagg Keyboard which I very much liked, I purchased an Apple 10th Gen iPad and again I purchased a ZAGG keyboard for it. As much as I like the previous keyboard, the current one is like night and day, as to the “Feel” of the keyboard and its responsiveness. One will never go wrong in attaching ones iPad to this quality product.

This functions very well, but the keyboard could have a softer touch and be quieter. The unit is quite heavy, but the protection for my ipad is great! Hopefully the joint between the keyboard and the ipad cover will be more durable than my last one!!

Excellent product although too heavy! That’s fine if used as a desk-top, but I carry mine around in a back pack with my school supplies.

Rugged - Best Keyboard on the Market
5 out of 5 rating
RoseKZ . 19 days ago
Yes, I'd recommend this product.
Over the years, I have purchased different Zagg keyboards for my different iPads. I like the Rugged Book the best because: 1) it provides the most protection, 2) the keyboard is the most veratile (you can put the iPad screen at whatever angle you chose and stays in place), 3) has backlit keys, 4) has the feel and sound of a desktop computer keyboard, and 5) is a great price. I would like to see the backlighting of the keys a little bit brighter and an on/off button to turn them on. I think the backlights were brighter on a Rugged Book I had years ago - at least that’s what I remember. These are just improvements on an already superior product. The Rugged is better than any other keyboard out there.

This is my 3rd Zagg keyboard and cover and they have all been excellent. The battery last for months without recharging, keyboard is comfortable and much more convenient for me on flights to take my ipad and this cover-keyboard than my laptop. I haven’t tried dropping it, so someone else will have report in on that one.

I just received my case and it did not include a charging cable for the keyboard. Was a cable supposed to be included?
