Review Text: Very useful, protective, with a few flaws.. This case is super rugged and heavy duty. I feel that it can take quite the impact and still be good. It also has a convenient fold out keyboard with mouse trackpad or touchpad. It is very intuitive to use and has a nice texture to it that is nice to hold. The iPad snapped right into the protective case upon first use. It fits perfect and feels very secure. I also purchased a 3rd party glass screen protector and it does not interfere with this case in any way. They actually look like they were meant to be used with each other. The magnetic closure flap closes very tight and keeps the folio in place. When you fold the cover backwards to hold the iPad in place, the magnet holds very tight and secure as sell. The iPad can actually remove from the keyboard so you can carry it by itself. Then it acts just like a normal protective case, which feels very rugged as well. When you fold it to use with the keyboard, I suggest using it on a flat surface since it is back heavy. It will not stay up on it's own. If you try to rest it and type on your legs or knees, it will fall backwards. The product photos show someone using it this way, but it is not possible. The keyboard feels very nice to the touch and it is very responsive and it is very nice to use. The touchpad is also very responsive, just like on a laptop. When you first start using the touchpad, a small circle appears to indicate you have activated it, and disappears when you stop using it, which is a nice feature. The only bad thing is that when the cursor gets to an edge, it behaves like when you swipe at an edge, and will bring up menus. Another downfall is that when you fold the iPad backwards while the keyboard is attached, you can accidentally press the keyboard power button and can inadvertently press keys. It can also press keys when in a bag or backpack. They keyboard also has convenient buttons that will launch menus and bring up the home screen. You can also lock the iPad via a keyboard button. Overall, I think this is a very nice, sturdy case with keyboard combo. It will easily protect your iPad with some usability via the keyboard and touchpad. It does fall short in a few ways, but I think you will definitely like this folio.
