Having seen this keyboard/case a few weeks ago online I'd been waiting for it to finally be released. I was fortunate that the Best Buy local to my current client had one in stock this evening.
First off I will say this Logitech Ultrathin kayboard will change how I use the iPad. I've been considering getting a Macbook Air for use while chatting with friends and doing e-mail and documents. This keyboard has eliminated that need for me and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the product.
It's best to "dock" your iPad in landscape mode as you will here an audible click when everything is just right. The keyboard can be used in portrait mode though the iPad is slightly less secure in that orientation due to its lack of magnets. In landscape mode I am able to pick both items up as a single unit which is very handy.
The keyboard is sufficient given its compact size. I am writing this review using the keyboard with average typing speed. I might get a bit more speed were I in front of my iMac. Likewise I am sure an Apple keyboard would yield slightly better results but it isn't nearly as portable as this unit.
When done one tilts the iPad forward, pulls it out and then attaches it to the hinge on the back of the keyboard. The pieces then fold together and become one sharp looking piece of tech. When closed the iPad does turn off once the magnets on the front of the keyboard meet those on the iPad.
I do have two issues with the keyboard and only one of them is really Logitech's fault.
1. When using an external keyboard the iPad stops auto-correction and auto-punctuation. It took me a while to start using the shift key and remember periods. (I left any typos in on purpose to show there could be a few issues with spelling when typing as fast as an external keyboard allows.
2. The rubber pads on the front of the keyboard are meant to protext the iPad when closed. Problem is they can also get in the way when typing.
Aside from those two issues it is a bit weird typing on a keyboard with out more of a palm wrest. I suppose it's not reasonable to expect such a mobile keyboard to have the palm wrest space of a laptop. In addition it does take a while to remember that the lack of a track pad means you need to be tapping the screen.
Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and can't wait to get it home and integrated into every day use.
