One of the most popular accessories for the iPad keep the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover. It’s been over two years since we originele version subjected to a review and also for the current version has been a update announced . But even before the latest version appears on the market, we examine in this article the current version of the Ultra Thin Keyboard Cover for iPad Air and iPad mini. And we also give them both away again!
Ultrathin Keyboard Cover
As I said, this is a fairly well-known and popular accessory for the iPad. What has made this product in such a combination that has been successfully Logitech between a Smart Cover and a keyboard. By using the magnetic connection possibilities the iPad since the second version offers use Logitech could come with a keyboard on the market that was not hidden in a full sleeve, and they had thus directly the thinnest keyboard solution for light and thin iPad . This very fact is I think one of the main reasons for the success of this accessory.
Logitech does not sit still and constantly minor adjustments in the Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad. As said is already a newer version announced, the biggest difference is that the cover still thinner and now more control on the corner where the iPad is possible. Moreover, the current version is already super thin and because so few millimeters to say I would like to describe as a doubling of the thickness of your iPad. So at the moment the keyboard cover closed on the iPad is the package that you should take in your purse or to stop twice as thick as the iPad only. terms of weight under the arm is not even talk of a doubling, the weight increases, in combination with about the half of it. I hope you can make out that talking about weight and size is becoming almost irrelevant. From the above sentences Where the Ultra Thin comes in the name of Ultrathin Keyboard Cover is not a surprise for me.
The materials used have remained about the same in the course of time. Keys and the surrounding frame (they are island-style operation keys) are made of plastic, while the back of the cover of aluminum. In the current generation is the back with a pair of thin rubber elements to provide some grip and the aluminum back just to keep slightly above the surface and thus prevent. worst scratches Qua color we chose a color that is in line with current iPads, best described as gunmetal gray . There is also a white version of the cover available.
Playing Cards as said a hugely important role in Ultrathin Keyboard Cover. Not only the side of the iPad is used to hold the cover in place during transport, but the magnets on the side of the iPad are also used in keyboard stand to make. extra strong connection to the keyboard Basically you could keyboard can pick up and move without the iPad will fall out. Although I would not recommend the extra strength in connection called a good feeling. The hinge allows the side of the iPad is gripped falls away into the cover when not in use, when the magnets come close ‘pops’ up the joint. Really practical advantages I see there is not only a nice touch is the no more. It illustrates especially the fact that this is a product that has a couple of generations exists and is so very developed. Of course, the iPad will automatically turn on / off by the cover, and as icing on the cake is the Bluetooth connection between the cover and iPad automatically initiated when the cover is put in the type of position.
The connection is via Bluetooth and can therefore be established automatically. Only the first time it is to explain the link. between the iPad and keyboard required because the connection is via Bluetooth is therefore a battery in the game. battery somewhere in key processes and can be charged via a standard microUSB port. It has been a cable, to charge, but lacks a power block. Fortunately, most people do such a cube about, and USB ports are also usable for this.
Keyboard and differences
The iPad Mini version is really just a small version of the iPad Air version, but there are a few key differences that need to be made clear. Not only are all slightly smaller keys which makes typing more difficult (or at least requires a longer habituation), but is also used on the mini version for space weather Logitech layout. means that the left row of the keyboard is merged with the first row of characters. example For example CAPS LOCK is merged with the A key (caps lock is only to be used in combination). The exclamation point is totally top left to find, while they are usually continue expects one row to the right. These different layout is what I’m concerned it get used, but it takes some time. Getting used to the small keys turned for me personally a slightly bigger problem.
The Air iPad version also has no keyboard 100 percent full-size, but is very pretty close. Getting used to the format was key for me, at least not a problem, and since this is a pretty much standard keyboard layout is there not an awful lot to say about it. What course fun and useful are the special iOS keys. Of course there are buttons for standard items such as a home button, volume and play / pause. The larger iPad Air variant also has a dedicated button for locking of the iPad Air. Both keyboards support different keyboard combos that make life a lot easier a knocker (in terms of text selection and copy / paste).
Conclusion
For me, the choice of iPad Air version very easy to defend. The Ultrathin Keyboard Cover unlocking a lot of opportunities that are normally less optimally perform on an iPad. So it is especially the keyboard that gives that extra features, but perhaps more important is that it is a keyboard that easy to get used to and work with. The iPad mini version gets as many extra features but its much smaller keyboard still requires a lot more tolerance and less fine to work. Both keyboards have their opportunities to do without adding too much to the weight and size of the iPad, and that’s probably why it covers so many people speak.
