ZAGG Rugged Book Detachable Case with Magnetic-Hinged Backlit Keyboard for iPad Air/Air 2/9.7/9.7 Pro - Multi-Device Bluetooth Pairing - USB-C to USB-C Cable Included, Black

I absolutely love this case and keyboard from ZAGG! It’s a bit on the heavier side, but that’s actually a plus — I know my iPad is always perfectly protected. The quality is great, made from solid, durable plastic. I did have a bit of trouble putting the case on at first, but aside from that, everything has been perfect. What I love most is how smoothly the keyboard works — it’s fast, responsive, and syncs perfectly with my movements. Typing feels effortless and super comfortable. And the USB-C cable is just perfect — I can charge my phone, iPad, and keyboard with the same charger. So convenient and practical. Honestly, such a great setup!

I’ve been using the ZAGG Rugged Book Detachable Case with Magnetic-Hinged Keyboard for my iPad Air and it’s been a game-changer. The keyboard delivers a satisfying, laptop-style typing experience with backlit keys and multi-device Bluetooth pairing—perfect for switching between my iPad and phone. The case is built like a tank, offering military-grade drop protection up to 6.6 feet and a magnetic hinge that locks in multiple viewing modes (keyboard, video, book, and case mode). Setup was seamless—just pair via Bluetooth, and I was ready in under a minute. The lithium polymer battery lasts ridiculously long—I’ve gone weeks between charges

This is an incredible case. The case is rugged yet feels good when you carry it. The keyboard is perfect for an iPad. So glad I took the leap and bought this.

Editing my original review, which still can be found below. Updated Review: While I really loved this case originally, it stopped working within 6 months. I assumed it must be my fault or something because I had loved the first one I bought for over a year. Unfortunately, it was outside the warranty, so I bought another in March 2023. I mostly use my iPad to watch shows or read, but I used the keyboard once a month to take notes during a committee meetings as secretary. Yet, at the end of June 2023, it stopped working yet again. Both times, most of the keys have stopped registering. This time, caps lock is stuck “on” and I can’t even get the keyboard as a whole to turn off. Unfortunately… there’s only a month warranty on the product. So twice in less than a year I’m left hanging. I’ve emailed the company, but they responded that I’m outside of warranty. Despite originally loving this product, I cannot in good faith suggest a product that stops working within a few months. I think my next move is to order on the actual Zagg website as they have extensive warranties and have been amazing to work with in the past — they just can’t fulfill warranties on products bought by a 3rd party. ******************** Original Review: I use my iPad mini like a computer all the time. I originally had this keyboard on my first iPad mini, but after I got a new one, I thought I could go with one that didn't seem so hefty (read: I wanted a super cute pink one instead). Dear reader, let me tell you, that was a mistake. I finally decided after 2 years of hardly using my iPad that maybe if I had the same keyboard I had before that I would use it more. And I do! It is hefty, but in a sturdy kind of way not a too heavy kind of way. The iPad section easily pops off if I just want to have that without the keyboard. The keyboard's battery life lasts and lasts, and easily connects to the iPad. People are always asking me where I got it and are saying how cute my "tiny laptop" is. Plus, it's made doing my on-the-go writing way easier. My fingers fit perfectly to the keys and I type just as easily as I do my full sized laptop. Lastly, I no longer have to worry about being clumsy... I've dropped this thing a few times and it's protected.

Great case even though it is heavy. It is very durable and has protected my iPad on many trips. The keyboard charge lasts a long the time. However, after about 1 year the battery dies and will not accept a charge (this is my third case and the second one with that problem). So far their customer support has fallen off. I have contacted Zagg and they told me it would be replaced with an improved case for $11.01. I agreed to accept the new case. I discovered that my credit card account was charged twice. Today I checked my order on the Zagg support site and was informed that it was canceled. It seems that their support depends on a roll of dice, sometimes it is excellent, other times it doesn’t exist. After contacting Zagg I determined that they refunded the $11.01 charge. They explained that their bot requires a .pdf copy of my Amazon receipt and explained how to get it. With that I contacted their warranty bot again and a replacement case will be shipped within 2-3 business days.

After looking over all the reviews I decided to purchase this product. It arrived on time and after unboxing the product the product looked to be of good quality. Fit my iPad nicely, connected via blue tooth quickly and worked perfectly, but this product doesn't have an indicator LED on the keyboard to let you know if its on or not and no indication to let you know the blue tooth is on or working... but after talking to customer service, he explained that the keyboard lights up and my contrast was all the way down. It also has a few different colors to choose from. Just after a week of owning this device I was out on my deck early one morning with my iPad, I went inside to get a cup of coffee and it started to rain heavily. By the time I got to my iPad (within a few seconds) the keyboard was soaking wet... I brought my iPad in and tilted it sideways into the sink to drain off the water and there was quite a bit of water in the keyboard. I tried to use keyboard and strange symbols came up. I removed the keyboard from my iPad and used a small shop-vac to suck out the remaining water and stored it in a large zip lock bag with rice and several silicon bags for several days to dry up the keyboard. After 5 days I connected the keyboard again with the iPad and turned it on and tried to connect to blue tooth. I took several tries to connect (error connection failed) and after several tries iPad finally connected to blue tooth. I tested out the keyboard again and some keys would not type and some keys typed funky symbols. I called customer service and explained what had happened and he said my Zagg has a 1 year warranty and they will replace it free of charge. He is shipping a brand new Zagg with a prepaid return label, he said that they will charge my CC until they get the damaged keyboard returned and will credit my CC. Awesome Customer Service....

Was skeptical at first with quite a few reviews saying the keyboard doesn’t last, but decided to try it anyway. So far so good, it is the most durable case i could find for the iPad Pro, with a keyboard. Time will tell how on how long it lasts. The magnet holds the pied very strong and sable, no issues with accidental release. Backlit keyboard works well and connects quickly with no issues. Wouldn’t mind a little brighter for the brightest setting for the key board. Other then that its a quality case and keyboard

This keyboard’s Perfect features trump it’s average reliability and weight. I usually get my zaggs from Best Buy with warrantee. Early zagging keyboard models had a very short battery life, suffered a broken hinge spring, periodically lost their I pad pairing, and after a year lost their ever loving mind( they would propagate a string of letters non stop) . Saving grace was that Best Buy replaced them same day. It was worth the hassle, because I loved the folding feature , the lit keyboard and perfect keyboard and soldiered on. Two years ago I even retired my laptop. The last zagg keyboard has lasted two years and I’ve only charged it twice…., When I upgraded to the 11th generation I pad , I matched it with a larger zagg. I’m loyal !!!!
