I work in construction so good protection is a must! Not heavy at all, love how smooth it is and type.

Very well built. I’m on my 2nd ruggedbook after finally wearing out one of the hinges on my first one; no doubt from repeated drops that no doubt save my iPad, which was the intent of the purchase

I’m usually a big fan of all Zagg products but this one was disappointing. I found it difficult to bend the hinge - was concerned I would break it. When we went to close it, the top piece are off - it would not stay in one piece to protect the iPad. Sadly, I returned it.

Rugged Book for Mother-in-Law

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
Purchased this for my Mother-in-Law when her laptop was at "end-of-life".
We had gotten her an iPad a year or so ago, but she had trouble using it and would than use her laptop.
I talked to her and showed her how it would work and asked if she would give it a try, to which she agreed.
I set it up with her iPad and she's been using it since
She is very happy with it and actually likes it better than her laptop (smaller/easier to carry, etc.)

I really do love the keyboard. Streamlines all my work, and makes the apple operating systems far more user friendly. However, a couple weeks in, and my "D" button seems to be malfunctioning. Key becomes difficult to press down. Unsure of how severe of an issue this will become

Hinge does not work properly

Very surprised at the poor hinge on this product. The hinge is so tight that when you go to close the Rugged Book, my Ipad actually comes out of the hinge assembly. I bought a previous Rugged Book some years ago for an earlier version IPad and was great. This product is unusable.

I owned a Zagg cover/keyboard with my iPad mini, and loved it. The new cover/keyboard is exactly what I wanted for the larger iPad, solid and secure.

Wonderful. I have been using these Rugged books for about 8-9 years now. I have had to return a few as the hinges can be weak. This one for the iPad Air 11” seems solid. The top side seems a little lite but with a pencil it stiffens up. I wish sometimes it had a mouse like either an old IBM laptop button or a track pad but not a serious need. Probably end up using it as much as a pencil.

Functional but not the best protection.

I love to product but just today I dropped the iPad in the case and cracked the screen on the device. iPad was purchased same time as The Rugged Book. I’m not blaming anyone but myself but it would have been nice if it would have protected the iPad. I love the functionality of the case and key board. You guys hit a home run in that department. I definitely would recommend to anyone who needs a keyboard but would also recommend not to drop their investment as well.

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