I haven’t seen this issue before, and I’ve owned or tested at least 4 different ZAGG keyboards. However, this sounds like either a faulty keyboard, or somehow the battery got shorted out.

I looked it up on Targus’ site, and it certainly looks like a competitive product. No guarantees as of yet, but I will definitely inquire about doing a review.

The Targus Versavu keyboard & case is well worth a look. Please review this.

Thanks ZAGG!

While the fit is a little snug going in, I was actually surprised at how easily it fit into place. Pulling itsurprising hits a bit more difficult, however, considering how easily it installed. As long as you patiently wiggle it, and free it up on the underside a bit, it comes out without too much trouble.

So, if you keep you iPad naked, the original ZAGGfolio case will work just find for you. If, like me, you install any type of screen and/or back protection, you will need the new version designed for the new iPad.

I had a Verizon 3G version iPad 2, and I never had any issues with signal being blocked. You should be fine.

If you have checked the ZAGG site recently, you have already seen this, but be sure to order the latest version of the ZAGGfolio for the New iPad. It is slightly thicker than the iPad 2.

Unfortunately, no. The ZAGGkeys Solo has thin, flat edges that slide under the lip of the case. The raised edges of the Logitech case won’t fit under the lip. I fear that if you cut or altered it, it would then end up being too thin. That, and you would ruin the resale value.

If you really want the ZAGGfolio, my advise for what it’s worth, would be to sell your Logitech Keyboard now for what you can get. The announcement of the iPad 3 is coming soon, and the value of your device will drop at that point. Then, you might hold off just a bit and see if the price of the iPad 2 ZAGGfolio drops after the iPad 3 comes out. If you play your cards right, you could end up with close to an even swap. Good luck.

From the picture it looks like the ZaggFolio keyboard is a little bit smaller, but it’s hard to tell.

I ask because I already bought the Logitech keyboard but I’d really like something that can protect the back of the iPad as well. (Right now I’m just planning on getting a neoprene sleeve to keep both the iPad and keyboard case in).

Have any of you heard of any solutions regarding this issue? I’m still having the same problem.
@jhrogersii: Maybe a buddy of yours from ZAGG can help?

I do have to reconnect more often than I would like. I am guessing that this is an over-aggressive battery saving feature. I just wish that, if this is the case, it could be adjusted.

I have this same problem. I frequently have to reconnect. I have not determined a patern. Frustrating. I do turn off my iPad with the button on the side. Go down the hall to a meeting, only to have to reconnect again. I do love the Zagfolio, though! The new clasp works great!
Thanks,

This is by far the best review/forum for a case/keyboard combo, so good job to every contributor! I think I’m pretty clear on the topic of using extra protection with the case, but I’d like a little more clarification on the smart cover pairing (I apologize if this was answered, I did try to look through all the posts first).

Can the smart cover remain attached while in the case or is it more a situation where you have the smart cover ready to snap on if you want to use it as a tablet or a second stand?

On a slightly unrelated note, do you know of any good blogs/sites with suggestions of the best/different ways to use your iPad 2 (or have your own suggestions)? I’m an in-house graphic/web designer but currently am not freelancing much (i.e. not traveling or in coffee shops very often) at the moment so I really don’t know when I’d use the keyboard. Obviously I could use the iPad for books, news, other entertainment, but I’d love to find other uses for it so I really get my gift-giver’s money’s worth 🙂 I wouldn’t really use it AT work as I have a great Mac and my meetings aren’t really the note-taking variety… I’ve done a number of google searches for some direction, but you and the other participants here really seem to know your stuff. (I know it seems I may not NEED the keyboard, but I’ve always been one to “overpack”… Why stop with a pretty new piece of technology like this?)

Thanks!

I’m sorry to hear that. Frankly, I’m not surprised, though. I think this product is a much better fit for a tablet device that isn’t in a pocket and being used ALL the time. Even plastic stick-on protectors eventually wear from being in a pocket or hip case, in my experience.

However, the I used both held up well for me on my iPad. Like I said, though, that is a very different use case than what you are talking about with phones.

BestSkinsEver are made from the same material as InvisibleShields, but are much cheaper. They also hold up very well. I would recommend them as a great value option.

I just got an iPad 2 yesterday for my birthday, and the ZAGGfolio looks very promising. What protective covers do you guys recommend? Which screen protector? I’ll be pulling the pad out of the folio quite a bit.

The folio is already more than I’d hoped to spend on a cover, so I’m hoping to keep costs down on the other accessories.

Thanks,
Darcy
