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 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!

Typing on the keyboard is smooth. The keys are spread out, and they don't stick. It's a nice compact keyboard case I would recommend to friends.

Amazing product for EMS Use! We have a number of these for our iPad Airs that get used daily for EMS as our primary means of completing patient care reports. This product is fairly priced and works very well, while keeping our iPads well protected. Highly recommended.
My only wish is that the iPad battery would trickle charge the keyboard.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
I’ve been using this keyboard for a number of years. Typically the hinge is what causes me to need a new keyboard, but I feel like the benefits far outweigh the negatives. I use it a good bit, so plastic wears out over time!
