We were expecting the inundate of iPad-oriented Bluetooth keyboards to strike a second Apple announced that its inscription would await them, but it’s fundamentally been crickets so far — solely for a AIDACASE KeyCase Folio Deluxe, which we first saw strike the FCC in April as well as is now eventually shipping. But after all the wait for, is it actually value $100 to projection this thing around with your iPad? We’ve been contrast a review section — head past a mangle to find out.

Update: The video should be working now (if you were carrying issues). Sorry about that folks!
AIDACASE KeyCase Folio for iPad examination

Build-wise, a KeyCase Folio Deluxe is pretty most what you’d expect from the cheaper iPad case: it’s made of pleather, it folds up in what we’ve come to consider of as the standard way, as well as a tip strap closes up with the captivating fasten. It’s not exactly premium, though it’ll do the job. The set of keys is patently built into the strap conflicting the iPad pocket, and there’s a little ridge only above it — when you unfold it, a iPad rests loosely upon the shallow at an angle, land it up. That’s all there is to it, yet — given nothing is fixed in place, there’s no approach you could make use of the KeyCase upon your lap — it’d just fall right down. Folded up, the complete package is most thicker than the batch iPad, of march — it’s tighten to netbook size. There’s no way to overlay a box so the keyboard is out of your approach, though — it’s faux-laptop mode or nothing.

Pairing things is up quite easy — we’ve covered iOS Bluetooth keyboard pairing in a past — as well as you can spin a keyboard off if you don’t need it. Charging happens by a micro-USB pier — we didn’t get to exam battery holdup to the extent, though you didn’t have any problems getting a day of use out of it.

The complaint, however, is that you didn’t unequivocally wish to use it for the full day. It’s only not which great as the set of keys — a keys are made from a single giant piece of rubber, as well as they feel which approach — they’re tear-jerking and lack any arrange of feel during all. Worse, they’re small and spaced so close together which you can’t really discuss it them apart, heading to inaccuracy — maybe we’ve been marred by chiclet keyboards, but you really like feeling the edges of the keycaps. Not happening here. Once you get past the feel it’s perfectly workable — the home symbol functions as a home button, as well as there’s even the authority key for copy-and-paste set of keys shortbuts, but we don’t know if we could ever get past a rubbery blah of the set of keys itself.

Honestly, we don’t know if it’s worth $100 for the KeyCase Folio Deluxe. It’s the judgment we’ve been wanting to see strike prolongation given the iPad was first announced, but you can’t contend we were hoping to see it rendered in pleather and floppy rubber. If you’re desperate for an all-in-one transport set of keys for your iPad, it’s positively value the look, though we’ll stick with our unchanging Apple Bluetooth Keyboard as well as wait for something better to arrive down the line.
