I take advantage of the easy on/easy off nature to put the iPhone in a different holster for working out, although if I leave the Typo2 in my backpack but not on the phone, it occasionally will still try to use the keyboard. If I use a kindler, gentler charger, it still charges quickly and doesn't fuss and has not taken a multiday hiatus. What I HAVE noticed is that since it doesn't come with its own charger, or any instructions for charging, just a USB cord, it seems to fuss only when I use a > 1 amp charger. I read another review (not on Amazon) that noted that sometimes the keyboard just stops working and then recovers. did return the one I ordered and got a new one. However, if it's protection you're looking for, and a way to easily turn your iPad into a magnetized laptop, the Typo may be just what you need.Updating this review. That goes for the Zagg Folio Keyboard, too, which includes a customizable backlit keyboard and a faux-leather inlay. You can find a similar premium look and feel in the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for less than half the price of the Typo. Ultimately, the Typo Keyboard for iPad Air is a fine keyboard cover, but its price betrays it. There are also Contacts and Calendar keys that are supposed to launch those respective apps, but they weren't yet functional at the time of testing. Unfortunately, there are no brightness controls, which is something that the Anker TC930 has. There is not much of a wrist rest on the Typo, at least for my spindly hands, but a tiny foot print is expected for iPad keyboards.Ī number of iPad-specific keys are included in the top row of the keyboard, like a Spotlight key for search functions, a Battery Indicator key, a key for Siri, music playback controls, and a key that hides or shows your on-screen keyboard.
The keys are spaced very closely together, but at 0.23 inches wide they're quite large, which makes typing quickly and efficiently easy to do-although the "P" key felt a little too far to the right, even with my wide reach. The keys feel stiff at first, so it took some getting used to before I was able to type up a storm. The Typo's keys have a nice, brushed, rubbery feel to them, though I had to pound on them a little more than I'd have liked to make presses register.

It's also worth noting that if you flip the keyboard portion behind the iPad and hold the tablet like a book, the magnetic connection almost disappears entirely. It's a great feature if you want to control how close you view the tablet screen while it's situated in its upright, laptop mode. However, the magnetic connection is fairly week, and I was able to pull the shell covering and the keyboard apart easily with just a little bit of pressure. I disconnected the keyboard from my shell-encased iPad, and was able to type comfortably with it five or so feet away. The keyboard attaches and reattaches to the shell via magnets in the shell's hinge, which is simultaneously the best thing and worst thing about the case. Typo claims a battery life of up to a year on a single charge, but that will obviously vary depending on use.

Like most keyboard covers, you'll find a Power switch, a Bluetooth pairing button, and a micro USB charging port on the right side. The case measures 9.73 by 7.26 by 0.67 inches (HWD) and weighs 1.14 pounds. When placed on a desk the difference is negligible, but when holding the iPad-keyboard combo, it becomes rather noticeable. The shell itself feels very durable, but bulks up the iPad Air considerably.
The thick outer shell has an adjustable aluminum stand embedded near the bottom that can bend anywhere from 10 to 90 degrees for a laptop-like feel. The keyboard comes covered in a black, rubbery protective shell, with the same material surrounding the keyboard. Let's get this out of the way: Unlike its infamous iPhone keyboard case, no one is going to sue Typo over the design of its iPad keyboard, which is relatively generic.
