This is by far the best iPad keyboard case I've had before. It combines function and protection in a convenient way. I really have only a few small complaints about the case, and I'll outline the pros and cons below.Pros:Offers excellent protection for your iPadHas a detachable hard case so you can leave the keyboard at home when you don't need it.Keyboard feels great typing on itHas a detachable standExcellent battery life, I haven't had to recharge it since I got it 5 days agoThe smartcover auto shutoff feature works perfectly on my iPad 2!Cons:A little on the heavy side (although it should be noted that it needs to be in order to counterbalance the weight of the iPad)Opening up the case can get a little annoying when the iPad doesn't flip back properly and instead flips forwardNot sure how durable the case is since I haven't had it for terribly long, but I can update this review if I find it inadequateOverall I am very pleased with this case and I will be using it as my daily case. The one complaint I have above in the cons is that it can be difficult to open up the case because the iPad tends to flip backwards instead of the whole top flipping back. My recommendation would be to find some sort of locking mechanism that would keep it locked to the arm until the user wanted to unclip it. Other than that I am happy with my purchase and will continue to support New Trent with their outstanding products!
