I'm David Cano executive editor cnet com and I'm here with the Logitech ultrathin keyboard mini this is essentially a smaller version of the company's ultrathin keyboard for the standard size ipad and what the interesting thing about this keyboard is it essentially acts as a screen cover for your ipad 8 adheres magnetically to your ipad creating a very thin profile the one drawback to the whole setup is that it does not protect the back of your ipad so your ipad is essentially exposed but logitech has done a very good job of matching the finish on the back of the ipad to the back of the keyboard so it really looks like one nice integrated package this comes in both black and white so you can match it with either color ipad in terms of the actual keyboard this is one of the best many keyboards we've seen at least all the keys are there there are some shortcut keys as well it still is going to feel a little bit cramped for folks especially with folks with bigger hands it's a little strange because your hands feel like they need to shift a little bit to the left from your traditional keyboard with all these smaller keyboards for the ipad mini we are seeing some trade-offs being made however this keyboard probably has the least amount of trade-offs it does offer excellent battery life about three months a logitech says it does charge via USB and it is a Bluetooth keyboard you simply pair the keyboard and then prop the iPad in the integrated slot on the keyboard stands up nicely essentially looks like a mini notebook a solid keyboard for the ipad mini i'm david carr nguoi and that's the logitech ultrathin keyboard mini thanks for watching
