ZAGG Rugged Book for iPad Air (5th Gen)/(4th Gen) and 11-inch iPad Pro (2021)/(2020)

Case does exactly what I want… protect my new iPad Pro while still being useful. No issues whatsoever.

I got the Zagg Pro Keys (folding/flip out style detachable case with my iPad Air 4th generation and it didn’t cut it. It seemed flimsy for continuously opening and shutting (mobile). It was broken in 4 months of household use. I scrapped it and replaced it with the Zagg Rugged Book and have zero complaints. It stays charged, allows me to take my iPad Air 4 anywhere with confidence, and has well thought out features (volume, playlist forward/reverse) excellent backlighting, etc.). I’d recommend the Rugged Book for anyone who wants a durable keyboard/case. I love it!

After a little bit of trial and error with other Zagg cases I finally found this case. This case is really a great, rugged case. I really like also that you can detach the IPAD from the keyboard to make it more lightweight and portable. Pairing the case with a screen protector is really good. I also really like how the battery percentage shows on the iPad so its not a guess.

I love my new case so far. I had another one that had a fold out stand and it broke. Actually two of them. This case feels better and the key board is nicer also.

While I like the way that the Rugged Book Apple iPad functions, I was upset when I read the sticker on my Rugged Book that warned me of physical injuries and read in the Package Insert of a health warning although it did not inform me of what kind of health warning. Am I endangering my life or health by using the Rugged Book? HELP! PS The Rugged Book sits on my lap like a laptop. Is this dangerous to me?

Excellent fit, great construction, and easy to use. Connects quickly by Bluetooth and has a responsive keyboard. I recommend this product.

Like good leather, my previous rugged Book (2018) grew better with age. The silicone became slightly softer and even better to grip. Charging it nightly kept its battery at optimum; it never failed. I suspect my new Rugged Book will give the same service. An incredible product for protection and durability.

We had a previous Zagg keyboard for an older iPad Air. So, we (she) wanted the same with her new Air 5th. The new Zagg arrived and it was defective. The top with the iPad installed would open just fine, but every time I tried to close it, the top would separate from the keyboard. The problem was a binding hinge. In fact a small piece of plastic broke just above the right end of the hinge. With the top separated, I had to physically force the hinge back to the close position, re-install the iPad, and then open it up again. Then again, the top would pop off trying to close every time. The Book was returned to Verizon over a week ago with no reply. I had asked for a full refund which I haven't received yet. Zagg is usually good products, but I believe this one had a defective hinge.

Our group of inspectors uses five of these with various tablets in a mining setting. We are purchasing a second round of the rugged books after the performance of a set used with 9.5 inch iPads. The rugged book keyboard stayed charged and is easily removed for tablet only use. Tablets were protected and when coupled with the glass screen protectors we never had any issues other than replacing the screen protector for doing its job.

I have been really enjoying this case. I love the look and feel of a laptop computer with my IPAD and this case delivers. The case fits like a glove and completely protects my device. All ports are easy to access. I work in a medical clinic and often times need to have this resting on my lap but all other cases I have tried topple over or slide off my lap but NOT this one. There is a little bit of delay with getting the keyboard activated if I haven’t been using it for awhile but doesn’t bother me and it’s really only like 2-3 seconds. The backlit function is nice and not too overwhelming when you are in the dark, 3 sets with this and multiple colors. Pencil fits in quite snugly so I don’t have to worry about losing it. The keyboard is very easy to type on which is a must for me.
