Belkin keyboard review thumbnail 600

I had previously thought I had found my favorite iPad Air keyboard/case, but after testing the Belkin Ultimate Keyboard Case for iPad Air, I’ve changed my mind.

I go into a lot more detail in my video review, but here are the main features I like about this keyboard/case:

  • The keyboard base is made from aluminum, making the resulting keyboard and case very sturdy yet also very light
  • The case comes with super strong magnets to hold the iPad Air at three different viewing angles
  • This keyboard/case reliably shuts off the iPad Air when the case is closed, and turns the tablet on when the case is opened
  • The keyboard has a long battery life — I’m still on my first charge, but Belkin says you can get up to 6 months of keyboard use
  • The keyboard folds away so you can use just the tablet, if you want to.
  • The keys on the keyboard feel good and provide for responsive typing. Note that while this is not the same fullsize keyboard like on your laptop, and some of the keys might be slightly shifted from their normal positions, it still provides for fast and accurate typing once you get used to the layout.
  • This is elegantly designed–there is no on/off switch and no bluetooth pairing switch–everything is handled automatically.

So that’s it for a look at the Belkin Ultimate Keyboard Case for iPad Air. The case protects your iPad Air, and the keyboard elevates your productivity when using your tablet. It’s a great product.
