Ipad Keyboard cases, what do you have?

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

Do you have a keyboard case that you like for your Ipad? If so, which one do you have and what specifically do you like or not like about it? I'm in the market for one, and recently got an Anker keyboard that holds the ipad up in a slot and closes with a magnet that gives it the feel of a laptop. There are positives to it, but the negatives are driving me nuts. There is no protection per se for the ipad and it can fall off quite the board quite easily when in use. I've already done that once so it's only a matter of time before I damage the Ipad. It also only has one angle it can sit in, which doesn't always work for me and the blue tooth is always disconnecting which makes the internal keyboard pop up, THAT is really annoying. It also turns off automatically a lot to reserve the battery, but it shouldn't turn off when I'm using it! I need to return it and get something else. I want to get it right this next time around and I just don't trust on line reviews. Thanks!

Dh has a ClamCase for his iPad Mini. He's out of town right now, but I'll quiz him about it next week when he comes home if you haven't already made a decision.

Tola,sorry no hops,but maybe since you have mentioned you are looking someone that has them will see it.Please,if you don't receive your seeds, and you were really wanting something you were supposed to receive,if I have it, it is yours,you can "steal" from me anytime! :) As for my Moulin Rouge sunflowers,I sowed them ws method on 4-24 and had my first sprout on 4-26,I think they did it to shake me up...lol.. we were due for a frost on Monday! I had a couple other sunflowers sprout that day also. What sowing method are you using for them? Do you have any seeds left? If not I still have a few left that I didn't sow,lmk! :) Sue,that trader sounds like she should have her picture posted somewhere for "trader of the month"...lol...now that is someone you can definitely trust! :) I was smiling away picturing an over whelmed trader sitting there in a pile of seeds packing up trades,forgetting to mark down she sent,than repacking them up again and again in a panic because she can't remember sending them...lol...when I am on a trading spree I write everything down,I can see that easily happening...lol..

Cased opening where three rooms meet: what would you do?
Q
Comments (6)
I'd case it. Working with my trim carpenter these last couple of weeks I've seen him pull off some things I wouldn't have thought of. So now I think I can say that I'd treat that center opening there as if it were a half column, running casing down all 3 exposed sides. Then run the casing across the tops and down the outsides as if each side were only a single door. If this is as clear as mud I'll try better to describe it.

Iphone/Ipad users - - - Do you use the 'find my phone' ap?
Q

tina- Did you see the story about the 8 year old boy who used the app AFTER his was stolen? He traced it to a warehouse where police found over $300000 worth of stolen goods. I wasn't sure how he used the app after he lost it, but he said he downloaded it after. (Maybe he had the original box with all the info?) I saw the story yesterday and plan to install it on my ipad today. Hope you find it. Dee

What Do You Have Too Much Of, & Why Do You Have It?

So many people with issues with parents...sad. I was loved, I had toys and gifts,dresses, dolls, books, sport stuff, games,I lacked for nothing . But as I got older, I think I tried to "recapture" my childhood. As an adult, I loved antique shows, flea markets, garage sales. Any time I saw something we had in our house growing up, I had to buy it. I even bought too many rose bushes and planted them in my garden, trying to re-create my Grandma's rose garden. I now have a linen closet stacked with doilies and tablecloths I'll never use, sets of fancy glasses too fragile to use, things like that. Oh, and on the funny side, my daughter cleaned out my bathroom just yesterday. She found eleven bottles of Listerine. I don't know, I hate the stuff, it burns... I remember buying one bottle because it did everything, whitens teeth, freshens breath, makes gums healthy, strengthens the enamel. I'm just always looking for something to make me happy.

I have a Zagg and Clamcase. I like how the ClamCase can be folded to any angle and it stays at that angle, the hinge is strong. Unfortunately, it is plastic and it cracked on the side holding the ipad. So now when I fold it back - the ipad pops out. The case I have for the Zagg is now discontinued but it looks great, I get many compliments. The Zagg case is much slimmer & lighter than the ClamCase. I like both of them equally for different reasons.

DH has a Zagg and wouldn't have anything else. I have also used it before I got my iPad mini and I also liked it.

Mine is a Targus, from Best Buy, I think. it has held up pretty well, considering my abusiveness. The angle is pretty good, even when severely myopic me reads without glasses or contacts!

I had a Zagg with a hardcase on my last ipad. It protected the ipad very well. The keyboard was good if you had to do lots of typing, but you still have to use the screen for some things as not all the keyboard functions work with Apple. It does add a bit of weight to the ipad too. Got myself a new ipad and passed on the old one and the case to my niece. Need to look at cases again ... before I drop the new ipad.

Yeah, I have a retina with a nice leather case without a keyboard. Got an upgrade a few months ago, an IPad Air 2 but for some reason, there aren't as many cases with keyboards and the ones that are available seem to have a lot of issues.
