Does the onscreen keyboard work RELIABLY and automatically when the folio is placed in tablet mode? My Fabric Skin for the iPad 3 struggled with this.

Seems to work really well so far--haven't had an instance where it failed to work

Hi,I haven't had any issues with that so far. Keyboard seems responsive. I typed 2/3 of an article and had no problems.

I experienced the same issue from time. It sometimes worked when I use the brutal force to connect the keyboard and the tablet. After a while the tablet was damaged by that. The screen has a vertical black area above the connection port. My suggestion is not to use the keyboard at all. Just return it.

When I've used it the on screen keyboard hasn't come up. But if I don't turn on the keyboard, then "Yes" the tablet keyboard comes up. This Newstyle keyboard doesn't hold a charge very long.

The side cover of the Folio creates a little gap between the screen and the keyboard. The keys are created with smooth edges that will not scratch the screen if in contact with it. You may also remove the keyboard.

Shelley, I do have the iPadAir and it dose well but I must say that the keyboard has problems of keys coming off and now the "F" key sticks. I am trying to find a way to see if I could get a replacement for this from Kensington. I'll let you know how that go's.

Yes when the tablet sees the external keyboard it does not show an onscreen keyboard. The keyboard will also pair with any other bluetooth device like your phone. Very handy.

So far I have had no issues.The only 'inconvenience' I have found is that if you turn off the keyboard and tablet, you may have to 'un-pair' devices and 're-pair' them...If this doesn't fix it, then I would contact the seller.

Re: FabricSkin Keyboard Folio for iPad Air - Doesn't work with Air 2? Options &#8206;11-09-2014 07:01 PM For the IPad Air 2, if you put a small magnet just above the number 1 key, it will turn on the keyboard. Then you can pair with it. Apparently, the magnet placement on the IPad Air 2 is different. Re: FabricSkin Keyboard Folio for iPad Air - Doesn't work with Air 2? [ Edited ] Options &#8206;11-10-2014 04:04 AM - edited &#8206;11-10-2014 04:21 AM KYSK, Thanks so much for your comment. I tried a credit card size magnet first, evidently not strong enough to turn on the keyboard. The second magnet (refrigerator magnet) turned the keyboard on instantly. I was able to use the keyboard for the first time this morning after trying a couple of magnets. Now to find the right size magnet setup for a permanent fix. Do you have any ideas on a magnet for a permanent fix?? jon EDIT...the magnet on a chip clip(used to keep open bag of potato chips closed and attach to refrigerator so you dont lose them) is strong enough. about 1/4 inch thick and the size of a dime. It can be attached on either the front or back of folio near the 1 key and stay connected. Looking for a better solution... http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Keyboards-and-Keyboard-Mice/FabricSkin-Keyboard-Folio-for-iPad-Air-Doesn-t-work-with-Air-2/m-p/1333933#M48980

The keyboard comes with two small stick-on pads that cushion the iPad when it's in the "closed" position. I don't have a protective cover on my screen and I haven't had any issues with scratches. However, even though the keyboard acts like a cover, it doesn't latch shut, so if you keep it in a purse or bag, a pen or something could slip in between and scratch it. I keep mine in a little bag and haven't had any problems.

I have a screen protector on my nook, but to answer your question I just checked and the keyboard doesn't seem to actually touch the screen... The one thing I don't care for is (I assume because of the way it's in my purse) the fold is now at an angle... But other than that I love it

I have never had a problem with that even when the ipad is in my purse. Is the magnetic part (that connects the keyboard to the ipad when closed) working? When you close it, just make sure the Home key is on the right. Other than that, I'm not sure what the problem might be.

No, the keyboard does not scratch or rub the face of the IPad when closed. The cover has a border on the inside that prevents it from touching the screen.

Not sure if i completely understand the question but the keyboard is very responsive and i haven't had any type of errors while typing nor when i have saved a typed document. It works just as a standard keyboard once it is connected. There is a slight lag when you first start typing but that is because the keyboard goes to sleep if not used over a period of time, other than that there has been no issue at all. I hope this answers your question. If not please clarify the question.

Correct. When the keyboard is in place, the magnetized part of the folio cover cannot physically contact the iPad so the iPad is not put to sleep. When the keyboard is removed, then the magnetized section of the folio cover can touch the iPad, and the iPad's sleep function works. This is a normal function for the folio cover; it is not a defect.

I am certainly not a touch typist but I have never experienced any noticeable lag between typing on the keyboard and seeing the characters appear on the display. Assuming there is not some other OS or software issue I don't think you'll be able to out-type the keyboard/display combination.

I have never had an issue such as that. my tablet set on the stand just fine. although I do use the Microsoft wedge keyboard and mouse. if you don't have one and are trying to type directly on the touch screen then I cant answer that question because I have never done that.
