Question: Are there cut outs on the lid cover for the IPad Air speakers ? I have read reviews indicating there are none ?
Document: They lie. When the iPad Air is in the case, the top of the iPad Air is on the left and the bottom is on the right. This makes the speakers on the right...again when looking at the iPad Air. There are cut outs in the case for the speakers. This particular ZAGG Folio case DOES NOT use grooves to channel the sound from the speakers!
* Although it provides all round bang and scratch protection, it does cover up up the iPad in plastic. * The cut-outs (eg. for the lightening connector) is small, and you'll need to use the Apple supplied connector - it won't work with a 30 pin to lightning connector without taking it out of the cover.What else is available? * Zagg iPad Air Folio (this one). (535g). Complete keyboard cover, very laptop style with backlit keys.
I have had the Folio for about a week now and I must say that I am disappointed and will likely return the unit. I read reviews online comparing the various bluetooth folios for iPad. I have the iPad Air and initially I purchase the Logitech Folio which I liked except for the fact that the TAB key was combined with the 'A' key requiring user to use dual keystroke to use the 'TAB' function.
This is my 2nd Zagg Folio. I had one for my previous iPad and really liked it and after I upgraded to the iPad Air (I only traded to get a larger memory model), then I bought the new Zagg Folio for the Air. I had read all the reviews and was left feeling like the new one might be a let down. Some reviewer complained that they felt like it opened backwards, etc. Well, I love the new one even more than the first.
You position the screen for optimal viewing and forget about it. I would never bother to take the iPad Air out of the Zagg cover to watch a movie with the family, because the hinged lid mechanism is an automatic and adjustable screen-angle holder. 2) The other minor drawback concerns Bluetooth, and is therefore NOT unique to Zagg's keyboard offerings.
Two minor disadvantages to be aware of before you buy:1) envisioning it as a laptop, the entire iPad Air is tucked into the lid, and this combination is heavier than the beautifully lighter and thinner Zagg keyboard even given its lighting capability. The resulting drawback of the full cover version is that on a soft surface like a bed, its center of gravity can make it tip backwards as the lid combo outweighs the keyboard. This has not happened to me on a solid surface.
Was surprised at the poor quality -  I read some good reviews before I purchased. I would return it if they would take back but it is past the date. I'll throw it and look for another.
I didn't follow my usual process to read/heed the 1 star reviews before ordering. Had I done this I'd have seen several frustrated reviews highlighting the problem. So I too have fallen victim to the cheaply made hinge on this thing. I loved and used the keyboard on a daily basis. Seems the torque you apply to open the case, over time, will cause the plastic along the hinge to split.
We bought this the other day based on it's good online reviews and videos. For some stupid reason we never read the negative online reviews... our bad and something that we never do.We tried it in the store and the keyboard was very responsive and very impressive, much better than any others we have seen, and we have seen quite a few. We loved the compact and sturdy case.
Keyboard: Fine. Construction: Flimsy.I wanted to like this keyboard solution for my wife's iPad Air, but alas, faulty engineering and cheap plastic simply bring this product to FAIL status. The plastic is far too thin around the Lightning port on the case lid: it broke in the first week! Need to redesign this, otherwise, it's gonna' happen again, and again. Back to the drawing board Zagg.
Answer: There aren't any cut outs, but it was purposely made like that. Instead Zagg made small tunnel slots to direct the speakers' sound toward you instead of out the side. The speakers aren't simply covered, you can see if you look closely the slots that are meant to redirect the sound. Got mine from Bestbuy, not sure why they're the only retailer that has these in stock right now.
