Not A Seamless Transition

Difficult to assemble; once I finally got my iPad installed, it was fine. It should have been a seamless transition from the previous model, but it was not.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
The Rugged Book holds up well in the field. It is well-built and works well for our application. The only drawback is that the case tends to break where it connects to the keyboard after about a year of use. I wish there were more lugs where the case meets the keyboard to prevent this from happening, or that the hinge tension was reduced.

Definetly like its name Rugged book little tricky to learn keyboard keys to turn on backlight and change color for keys as I looked up support for keyboard and it explains how to use combo of keys I will print that out. The pencil connected well as the keyboard to my Apple 11 M3.

I really like the new Rugged Book, the only issue I had was getting the iPad INTO it……quite the struggle. It’s still not fitted perfectly, but it works and I can deal with it. 🙂

I have had this same product multiple times. Each time, the keyboard gets gremlins in after year... like not able to use certain keys and the forward slash key starting automatically and not stopping until the batter drains. I have not found another similar device, so i have replaced it again. I only recommend this if you don't mind replacing it. ZAGG wont help you - you need to buy it every 1 to 2 years. Great tool - but unreliable

This one replaces an older one. I swear by ZAGG Rugged Books and I replaced it even though I no longer work out in the field. I like the ease of use and the protection!
