Review: Good keyboard, a little small but works. Syncing is an issue with my Kindle Fire HD.
Rating: 3 out of 5

This keyboard paired with my Kindle but keeps going out of sync and then has to be re-paired as the Kindle HD has trouble recognizing it. I also tried it with my iOS devices and it paired much more easily and stayed paired. However, it's built for a Kindle. I also have 2 other Keyboard type cases for iPad and one for Kindle HD 8.9" and I prefer them as they're just a little bit bigger.This keyboard is a little too small for my fingers and I keep hitting the wrong keys. I find I can type faster than on the Kindle virtual keyboard but only barely. The Kindle virtual keyboard has auto complete which suggests words as I type so I can type faster. Using the voice activated apps can also help me type faster. I am really slow with this keyboard so it's not been as useful.The case is nicely constructed but I don't like the flaps to insert the Kindle. It falls out too easily and it looks sloppy compared to some other cases which have molded backs that fit the device. However, it can probably be used to fit other tablets the size of Kindle HD so it may end up being more versatile. It has the same propping mechanism as an Apple Smartcover and I find that I'd like the Kindle to be propped up straighter - closer to 100 degrees. There are only 2 options for the tilt with this case and both of them are too angled for my liking so it ends up not being too comfortable.The case overall gets 3, as it has solid construction, decent looks, and a decent keyboard - albeit a little small to be truly speedy. The other finer points like the device angle, the flap at the bottom that holds the Kindle, the sync issue - where I have to begin by syncing each time are the reason I gave it only 3 stars.
