Pros: I have used this case/stand for about a month now. It is great to have a real keyboard that can be used as I move around the country. The case is compact allows the screen to be located in horizonal or vertical. The keyboard is a conventional layout and allows a decent speed of data-entry. The rechargable battery in the keyboard has lasted a week between charges *it may last longer, but I have never been more than a week away from a usb connection*

Cons: ctrl key does not seem to operate with the ipad-2. The ipad has a "wee 1 line on-screen bar with esc/ctrl/cmd the arrow keys" it appears that the ipad is deficient in some with with some/many/all bluetooth keyboards. It does not seem to be a problem with just this model.

Bottomline: Prior to this purchase I used a "think outside" bluetooth keypad. I am glad I have changed. The new keyboard has a much better feel and the case provides additional protection to the ipad. (Posted on 8/22/11)
