hey I'm Scott died and this is an iPad docked inside a keyboard case you've heard that before but you don't know we see great ones and the Belkin ultimate keyboard case is one of the best ones that I've seen the best I've seen since last year when Logitech had its ultrathin keyboard cover a very thin Smart Cover dockable device which was a very nice backpack friendly keyboard solution but didn't have any back cover protection Belkin solution is a full package so you've got back cover it's got the keyboard and it's not huge and thick and weird it feels comfortable enough that I might consider using it as my regular iPad case which is saying something the 99 bucks which is about the price range that you're gonna pay for a keyboard case and it has a few special tricks up its sleeve one is that it automatically connects and disconnects with Bluetooth once it attaches onto a little magnetic strip on the bottom pretty neat trick and it saves battery life so when you fold this thing down into non keyboard mode you won't be pressing any keys and it makes it pretty versatile if you want to flip it shut and open it up again speaking of which it's got adjustable angles there were three magnetic strips here not just one wire three angle is important well if you're using it on a desk or any surface or if your lap where angles matter there's a pretty compact little keyboard solution sometimes it's a little hard to to make it fit so the difference between putting it at this angle and this angle over here is bigger than you'd think it can save you some neck strain I like that if your keyboard geek that's a big deal and speaking of keyboard geeks this keyboard does not make any weird compromises there aren't any compressed Keys or strange movements it's a regular keyboard and it's a little bit compressed because it's got to fit an iPad I mean if you're used to touch typing and really used to where the keys are laid out you're gonna find yourself adopting this keyboard really well and it's got a lot of iOS specific features including hey look a Siri button so what's not to like about this case well it's a little plastic e but you know that's kind of quibbling because what are you gonna make this thing out of solid metal and also there's no backlighting on the keyboard but no iPad case has backlighting yet maybe some fancy one coming on the pie would but for an all-around package that's compact that's easy to use that folds up pretty not pretty nice and thin for a keyboard case and doesn't feel like the keyboard the keys are scratching the screen or anything it feels comfortable to hold automatically shuts off anyway it doesn't make it a look a bit like a Chromebook right or a laptop but hey that's kind of the appeal right you're turning an iPad into a laptop the Belkin ultimate keyboard case is probably my top pick right now and I like using it I'm Scott Stein and that's a look at the Belkin ultimate keyboard case which by the way works with the iPad 2 3rd gen iPad and 4th gen iPad sorry 1st gen users
