My only complaint is that it made it a lot heavier to manage/hold/carry.  I won't even mark down for that.  I had already dropped my IPAD and it cracked near the power button and split upwards on both sides.  This Otterbox has a heavier than the regular protective plastic shields that past on with air bubbles.. and the protective shield is perfectly clear, very touch sensitive, and I firmly believe the screen would have continued to break.  It is now protected and holds it all together and it works flawlessly.  I realize "the horse already escaped the barn", ie I dropped it and THEN protected it with the case, but I should have started out with it to begin with and I'd have protected my $850 Ipad investment better.  As a side note, the "cover" snaps on and off, and it has a very sturdy "stand" that flips up or down that works very well, especially when I hold it in my lap.  Highly Recommend!

Well it looked practical and nice and cheap to boot. But you know wha they say: if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. In this case the 7 dollar price was too good to be true. I tried the case on two different ipads and both were promptly scratched on the edges due to iPad sliding around and not being perfect. I was not pleased but it's my fault for being cheap. Lesson learned.

The matieral was a little cheaper than I would have liked. And its a piece that snaps in front of the iPad. But I do believe that it should protect the iPad against children.

This is the 3rd of this keyboard case i have purchased since getting my iPad Pro about one year ago. I realize how ridiculous that is, believe me and no, i don't normally throw my money away like i am clearly doing here.  Both of my previous Zagg's (yes, this exact model) had the hinges break on me. One about 2 months in and the other about 5 months in. The hinge issue is substantial and frankly i am shocked that this company would put this poorly designed product out without attempting to engineer a better hinge, or way to attach the ipad to the actual keyboard.  That being said, the keyboard itself is completely superior to any other keyboard case i have ever used. If you detest the apple keyboards because of the flatness of the keys and the overall flimsy thinness like i do, you will love the Zagg keyboard. Since my last Zagg broke i have tried a belkin (it was just ok) a logitech (again, just ok) and an off brand-all just ok. The clamcase is sold out and the Brydge was my next choice until i realized that it is just a keyboard with a hinge, and you are expected to either take your chance on your ipad getting ruined as it would be unprotected, or you can buy the Otter ipad case (the brydge is designed to fit the ipad in its hinges with the otter Case on it) for an additional 70$ on top of the $129.00 the brydge costs. At least the Zagg is cheaper now than the $100 plus i spent on the first two. I literally just intend to close my ipad case rarely now to attempt to keep the hinges from cracking, but i do realize it's just a matter of time.

I am a firm believer in screen protectors. The single most common fault of failure from dropping an iPad is the screen cracks. Everything else tends to work perfectly, but with a cracked screen you either have an ugly or distracting user interface. The very purpose of the screen protector is to either take the brunt of the damage (as with glass protectors) or absorb or disperse the impact so it's not enough to damage the screen (as with this product). I will say the product seems to do what it is designed to do. Spread it across the front of your iPad and it should greatly reduce the damage done to your screen. The screen protector does very little to interrupt the sensitivity of the screen so you should be able to still use your iPad with just a fraction of sensitivity loss.

I guess I just wasn't paying attention when I got this. I was hoping for a tempered glass kind of protection, but instead I got this plastic film. In my opinion the tempered glass offers much better protection and feel. Since this is what I got it's what I am using on my son's iPad 2. It was an absolute bear to install. The pre-treatment wasn't really a problem, but trying to get the actual protector on without it bunching on itself, landing on the iPad in odd ways and everything else other than flat was near impossible. In the end I got the protector on, but it's not pretty. I'm not saying there is no way it can be done right, and I'm assuming there are ways to do it that I was oblivious to. However if you are thinking this will be an easy install and are a layman when it comes to laying out plastic film that has a mind of its own (I have the same trouble with Saran Wrap) you may want to spend more for a nice, flat tempered glass protector.

If only they included 1/2 the stuff the guy in their video uses.  Heat guns, lint brushes, hobby knives, trick LED screen cleaners.  I did get twice the number of the guitar pics though.  My ipad screen was absolutely DECIMATED.  Took me 3x as long to replace since it was shattered into a million pieces.  All that being said, I followed the video, replaced heat gun with hair dryer and In the end I had brand new looking functioning Ipad air.

When I tried to assemble the iKlip Stand I couldn't get the compression washer on the bottom to compress enough to twist the locking nut onto the shaft of the upright.  I'm a big guy and applied all my weight and still couldn't get the washer to give.  Finally, I put the washer in a dish of boiled water and, after about three minutes, I pulled out the washer and tried again.  That did it - the washer was pliable enough to compress.  Now the Stand works with fine my iPad 3 with a glass screen protector.  But it seems big and bulky and isn't solid enough to use a stylus.  I'm not sure what it's good for, but I'll play with it for awhile to see if just getting the iPad closer to my face is worth the big bucks.  I'll up my star rating if it proves useful.

I just tried to remove my iPad 3 from the iKlip Stand.  There are no instructions included in the box for iPad removal, so I began by prying one clip back to release my iPad.  Using a lot of force, I wasn't able to release my device but I did pull the clip back to the edge of my glass screen protector and the iKlip started to lift my screen protector, causing a big bubble.  Given the extreme difficulty removing my iPad and potential for damage to the screen protector, I lowered my rating another start.  I doubt if I'll use this product again.

As a protector, it doesn't protect the back of the iPad. As a keyboard, it is very uncomfortable and difficult to use all of the keys. It does the job, but I already purchased another Bluetooth keyboard and a protector. So it ended up being a total waste.

It worked for a minute, then broke.  Too expensive. Look into Belkin, it's not as thin or better looking, but it works just fine. I can unlock iPad, iPhone 5, not 6.  This thing could've been so much better if it was less expensive and the characters aren't stickers.

If the product actually worked a warranty to protect it would have been good to have.

It's a nice start, well made, works well, pairs well, but I wasn't thrilled with it. Here are some reasons:

1. The keys need to be like the keys on a Blackberry, i.e., individually raised and substantial. The surface is too flat to type comfortably.  The "well" where the actual keyboard sits feels very deep compared to where the screen is for the phone. Meaning the distance is quite large. Add in the quirks of what to use for what and where things are, and what I found was that it was quite difficult and awkward to type.

2. The keyboard section, in comparison to the bulk and heaviness of the rest of the unit, is too light and too thin. I wouldn't exactly say "flimsy," because the unit is well built, but close. It was bending a bit under the weight of it all. Empty, it's fine, but put a phone in there and it's proportionally too heavy for it.

3. It makes the iPhone feel like a brick, literally. So huge and heavy, like cell phones of yore. I couldn't imagine carrying it around like that. I complained about the 4S being so much heavier than the 3GS. This makes it ridiculously heavy.

It's a shame. The thing works really nice, despite typing discomfort. Bottom line, it's a good start, but right now, it's quicker to type on the screen. Sorry :(

One of my hopes in purchasing the Airbender Pro was that it might be a laptop replacement. It's almost there, but not quite. Part of the reason is that the iPad is just designed as a touch-device first and NOT a laptop. But the NewTrent Airbender Pro shares some of the responsibility for this as well.

Let's talk about the good first:

 Good protective iPad Air case. There is a rubberized silicone case that encloses a plastic frame. The plastic frame holds the plastic sheet covering the iPad Air's screen. So far it's been pretty ideal; it's not the most protective case I've seen, but it does a good job between balancing protection and maintaining the iPad Air's weight/slim form factor. The case seals well against the frame. It looks like others have noted that it's still a bit fragile. I don't know yet.

 Sweet form factor. Just like the pictures show, the case can be detached from the keyboard, can be swiveled into portrait mode, etc. This was a big selling factor for me.

Cons:

 Rubberized tab prevents me from typing smoothly. There is a rubberized tab near the spacebar that is used to lock the two pieces (case and keyboard) in place. It sticks up and bumps my thumb when I type. I might cut it off. The tab, not my thumb.

 Mediocre keyboard. Not the best keyboard in the world, but also not the worst. Way better than typing on your iPad screen keyboard though.

 There's no indicator that the keyboard is on. I wish there was a light or something that showed me that the keyboard was on. It'd be nice too, to have a battery life indicator.

 Weird charging process. I charged the keyboard overnight. It indicated the keyboard was fully charged so I unplugged it from the charger. About eight hours later, I was ready to mess around with it, but when I first tried to turn it on, nothing happened. I had to "re-recharge" it again for about 5 minutes and then it worked. Weird. I felt like I was priming the pump.

 The metal screen adjustor doesn't have a stop. You can easily accidentally pull the entire metal support out of the keyboard. It's not a huge deal, but it'd be nice if they designed it so that it wouldn't completely come out of the keyboard casing.

Conclusion:

As of May 27 2014, there isn't a better keyboard and protective case combination than this. The Airbender Pro gives your iPad Air a protective covering, plus it gives you a keyboard (albeit a mediocre one) and the two form a pretty decent carrying case.

If you're looking for a laptop replacement, though, you might reconsider. If you're a power user on the laptop, like me, you'll be a bit annoyed that traditional keyboard shortcuts don't work. That's a fault of iOS and not the Airbender Pro. One could argue that this is part of the iOS design, to emphasize touch as the main manipulation mechanism.

Nonetheless, this still makes for a great travel combo, and if you just need something to take notes, I'd consider trying this out but cutting the dumb rubberized tab off.

The coloring and the aesthetic of the casing itself were great. I love a minimalist case and one that shows the beauty of the device itself. That being said... I shouldn't have gone discount. The case was quite inflexible, the magnet was very faulty and the trifold kept crippling upon itself...

It was an excellent backing around the ipad with a terrible top. Wouldn't advise.

A local shop offered to fix the glass for $85. I thought I'd save some money so I spent $20 and waited 6 weeks for what turned out to be a defective unit. Inserting the unit ruined my phone so I wound up buying a used IPhone for $165.

I got my iPad and this case was the first one I got. I was trying to save some money so I start looking for cheap cases and I read reviews and Bought this one... I was really not happy with the quality of the product at first sight. I really think that if you invest on an iPad and paid $600 or $700 for it, then getting a case for $30 or $40 wouldn't hurt to protect your investment. This case is made out of really cheap material. The iPad is very loose inside it. Sometimes if you are holding it in a certain position the edges of the case covers the sides of the iPad screen. (Bottom line... bad investment)

I prepared my iPad. Followed the directions. And it was a fail. I have bubbles. Also I decided to leave it on for awhile and read for a few hours on my iPad. And, I really cant feel the difference between this one retina and a plain old HD. I wasted my money.
