what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and today we're taking a look at the targis versus view case for the latest generation iPad the iPad 3 as I've been calling it now for the purpose of this unboxing targis has also included the three-in-one stylus which is a capacitive touchscreen stylus a laser pointer and ballpoint pen all in one package we're gonna get started out on the case the Versa view case once again that's what it's called and as you'll notice it's leather in construction you've got some nice stitching on the exterior but it also has some special functionality first and foremost it includes a bluetooth keyboard built right into the case turning your iPad into sort of a netbook if you will giving you traditional input functionality that you don't have via the touchscreen you've also got a slot to hold a pen and here is the important part of the verse of U and the reason it's probably called the verse of U is the fact that this portion here spins so you insert your iPad into this clip and you can use it either in portrait mode or in landscape mode whichever you find more convenient for the specific app that you're using other than that there's not much else included in the box you've got a little bit of paperwork and then you've got a mini USB cable surprising it's not micro most things are micro nowadays but anyway it doesn't matter you've got a mini USB cable for charging up that bluetooth keyboard that is installed in the case as I mentioned earlier installation is really a breeze you just drop the iPad down into the clip and push down you'll hear a slight little click noise and you know that you've got it inserted correctly pulling it out is basically the exact same procedure in Reverse so it's not a big headache getting it in and out of here so as a case it's actually pretty nice looking and it doesn't add too much bulk it's not overwhelming or anything like that easily something that you can carry with you without worrying about carrying an extra bag if you don't want to so here's a better look at the design one thing I was worried about was whether or not the keyboard was going to scratch the screen on the iPad B but they've designed it in such a way that there's a suede Ridge which elevates above the keyboard so that's actually not an issue at all you've also got cutout for all the important components on your iPad so they remain functional even when it's installed in the case there's a look at that platform I mentioned earlier that elevates the iPad up off the keyboard it's actually a really nice design all around I can see it adding some functionality to your iPad say if you're a student or something along those lines maybe you're somewhere in between whether knowing if you need an iPad or a laptop maybe this can sort of bridge the gap a little bit now a long top you've got iPad specific shortcut keys which are gonna make using this device a lot easier you've got shortcuts of course for search to bring up the on-screen keyboard to lock the screen volume play pause so on and so forth you've got an on/off button along top and an LED indicator to tell you whether you're connected or not well via bluetooth of course that's how this operates now this is a chiclet style keyboard very similar to the Apple keyboard if you have your used one on a MacBook MacBook Air or even the Apple wireless keyboard but it is shrunk down a little bit if you have huge hands you're gonna have to adjust that's for sure but it's usable nonetheless and I have I'd say large average to large sized hands and I had no trouble typing on it at all next let's talk about the three-in-one stylus that targus has included the very first thing that I notice as I pull it out here is that it's got some good weight to it you know like an expensive pen would have you have three batteries on the side of course for powering up the laser pointer portion not sure how much use that's going to get from me and then more importantly you have the capacitive touch portion on what seems like the wrong end of the pen but it'll work nonetheless I guess you don't want to use the ballpoint and I think your touchscreen right so it functions just as you'd expect it has slightly more precision of course than the tip of your finger and one nice added incentive of using a stylus is the fact that you're not going to get smudging all over your screen from you know your fingerprints or if there's anything on your hands or anything along those lines and highlighting texts and things like that is slightly more precise as well so I can imagine this would also be useful for art applications drawing applications sketching so on and so forth I don't do too much of that on my iPad so that's not a huge issue one thing one little drawback for me is the fact that the pen holder that's built into the case doesn't fit the official target stylus it won't slide under here either way that I tried plus if I use the clip portion which is how I expect you'd insert a normal pen you can't get it in there it's too tight so it's kind it's kind of weird that their pen wouldn't work with their case but nonetheless I suppose it's an afterthought something that they missed no real big deal the case is cool the stylus is cool if you guys enjoyed this unboxing please do like and favorite the video links to the prices and
