Best iPad 2 Keyboards
By muratos
If you regularly type each day on your iPad 2 virtual keyboard, you already feel the pain how it is hard to gain speed as if you are typing on a full sized laptop keyboard.
I felt the same and finally ordered Zaggkeys Solo keyboard for my sweet Apple gadget. There are other options too. In this review, I will guide you about the best iPad 2 keyboards, starting with the just mentioned accessory.
Zaggkeys Solo
This is a newly released universal bluetooth keyboard (with a dock) optimized for almost all modern tablets and smartphones. It fully supports iPad, iPad 2 in both landscape and portrait settings. After a one-time fast pairing with the Apple tablet, you can start typing on it. What a relaxation after the virtual one! The keyboard keys are very responsive and convenient to type as in a laptop. Simply to say, Zaggfolio Solo keyboard turns your iPad 2 tablet into a tablet computer.
Now, a few words about the devices it supports and its advantages for the geeks. If you own more than two tablet brands (For example, iPad 2 and Motorola Xoom like me), it can connect to both. You will not need to carry a special keyboard for each device you own. It has portability and price advantages. Here is a chart which shows the supported tablets and other mobile handsets.
ZaggKeys and Tablets
The built-in battery simply gives weeks of continuous usage. So, you will not need to run after every day to charge your keyboard where the other cheap brands suffer. What else to say about this perfect gadget? It is sold on Zagg official website with free shipping and available in White, Black and Gray colors.
p.s : I have the attractive white Zaggkeys :)
ZaggFolio
It is the previous keyboard case from Zagg company. Zaggfolio is excellent too and triples as a stand and a protective case. But, it is manufactured to suit only iPad 2. If you have enough budget and only use iPad 2 and do not require to use other tablets or change this one, definitely buy Zaggfolio. The new ipad 3 keyboard case version is also available for purchase. It has great customer feedback too with top ratings. Strongly recommended.
Here are a few key features:
Well, it is designed with carbon fiber look. It is very hi-tech minimalist style which gives more impact and visual attraction on the Apple iPad 2.
Specific keys for main tablet functions. These are obviously home, search, volume controls, copy-paste etc.
iPad 2 Keyboard Alternatives
Enough of Zagg?! Now, lets list a few more alternatives which you can buy without fears on quality and usage. They are more affordable, have less unique designs but feature almost all functions which a high end iPad 2 keyboard provides.
New Trent Airbender
This one is very protective and has exclusive look which suits to business environments.It connects under 4 secs to the tablet. There is a special activation button. Very secure fitting. Your iPad 2 is safe here. 360 degrees rotating facility provides easy change from portrait to landscape or vice versa. Arrangeable typing angles. Any cons? I could't find so far. Maybe, a few Amazon customers have negative thoughts. Click on the link to find out about this keyboard more.
Menotek iPad 2
This is similar to previously mentioned keyboards for iPad 2. Its stand is made from metal and rubberized keys are spill-proof. It means that it will most probably survive from an accidental drop from your delicious coffee. But, be sure that you don't do this intentionally for a test. :)
Finally, it is faux leather, but a real looking good one. No worries for this purchase as well.
