I like having a BlueTooth keyboard for the iPad. I really do and I really wanted to like every part of this. But it seems Belkin cut back in some areas of the case design to focus on the keyboard.
The keyboard itself was responsive, held a charge for days and had decently spaced keys for easy typing. Belkin made it fit well into the space allied and added some extra function buttons across the top.
Now the case design was lacking. There was no strap or clip to keep it closed causing the Smart Cover to activate sometimes. I say sometimes because we could hardly get it to work correctly. There was a strange curve I show in the video from the keyboard side of the case causing it to not always seem flush. There are no business card holders or stylus hooks as in other models which seemed limiting.
The biggest concern was the very simple straps, as shown in the video, that hold the iPad in. We notice this right away and I would be worried about the iPad Air slipping out. We also notice that the back stand easily folds back up causing the iPad to fall down onto the table top. You can see in the video we struggle with keeping it extended at one point.
So you will have to weigh the options on this one. Good keyboard versus some flaws in the case design. See the video for more.
