Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best on the market! I just bought my 4th folio. One is with an old ipad. I drove off with one of these folios, and ipad, on the roof of the car at high speed. Had to go back to find it sitting like a tent in the road. What is truly amazing is that the keyboard is still working, despite getting pretty beat up. The ipad was really cracked up, but was also still working. I have been using the folio for work with an ipad, for many years now, and I continue to be amazed by the quality of the product. A lot of people compliment it and I always tell them it lights up in 7 colors at 3 different levels. I will be very sad if they ever discontinue this winning product. And customer care is also great. Anyone considering this should just go for it. Zagg products rock!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Product This is the 2nd keyboard I have purchased from Zagg. I have used soft keyboards in the past and have had problems with the keys not working. It is also easier for my to type faster on hard keys with greater accuracy. Also, I find the hard casing a much better form of protection for my IPad as I travel a fair amount. It is easy to use, stays powered up for a long time and the backlit feature is great when I am in low light situations. Last but certainly not least, they have great customer support and I support companies that believe excellent customer support is as important as the products they sell.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best case and keyboard I've had! I'm glad I chose the Zagg. I've already had two of another brand and they didn't last. It has a terrific case and the keyboard is easy to use. The case mimics a laptop case and is sturdy. The iPad fits like a glove. Ordering was easy; price was good; shipping was quick. Very pleased and highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product! Zagg has well thought out and engineered products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love the folio and Zagg I bought my folio on April- in July it broke and I filed for a replacement - it was on my doorstep the next day! You can't find better customer service than that! I will be recommending Zagg to everyone. I love every aspect about it. With this on my iPod, I hardly need a regular laptop. Now, if Apple could make an iPad that holds a terabyte that could replace my computer altogether!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Upgrade I had a Folio for my old iPad. When I got a new iPad Air 2 I treated myself to a new Folio.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simply Awesome Product, Value & Customer Service! When I turned my iPad into roadkill I thought about just going and getting a laptop as a replacement. But I decided to save the $'s and just get my iPad replaced. Then I found the Zagg keyboard when I was simply looking for another protective case! OMGoodness!!!! I LOVE this keyboard. While of course an iPad isn't a laptop - this sure raised the bar and is allowing me to use my iPad at a whole different level. I'm loving it!! All of your products and the overall value you bring puts Zagg is among my top 3 favorite companies!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Keyboard Ever! This is my second keyboard over the past four years and I have loved them both. Their ease of use, long term battery, and simple instructions. Over the past two years I have used the Zagg keyboard to write several papers for a doctoral degree program and it has been as easy to use as my laptop. I have no reservation in recommending this keyboard to everyone, you will not be disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from THE ONLY KEYBOARD TO PURCHASE Four our five years ago I was responsible for purchasing keyboards for my boss and his 100 plus employees. I tried all the MAJOR keyboard companies for the IPads and ZAGG was by far the BEST keyboard. Not only in quality and serviceability but their customer service is the best I have ever seen. When you need warranty work they go above and beyond.

My Bluetooth is on but I do not have a Bluetooth connection for my zagg folio for my iPad Air.  What is the solution?

Asked by: Turbo
Pairing your Folio with your iPad is easy. It should only need to be paired once, using the following directions. If the connection between your iPad and Folio is ever lost, simply repeat these steps. 1. On your iPad select: SETTINGS > GENERAL > BLUETOOTH > ON. 2. Press the PAIR button on your Folio keyboard. A blue LED light on the right will flash until your Folio and iPad are paired. 3. Your iPad will display “ZAGGkeys Folio” as an available device. Select this option to complete pairing.
