iPad 2 users can choose between a couple keyboard cases for their devices that will house both the tablet computer and a digital keyboard. However, Belkin’s Bluetooth Keyboard Folio is a great case worth seeing and knowing about.

It has good sides and bad sides. We will talk about all of them, so that you could decide whether this nearly perfect iPad 2 case is worth $100 or not.

Pros

Let’s take a closer look at this Bluetooth Keyboard Folio for Apple’s tablet computers.

The case’s chiclet keyboard is great. It has appropriately spaced and sized keys that make the typing process a breeze. Of course, you should not expect it to be a roomy laptop keyboard since your tablet computer is not the size of a laptop either. Belkin’s Bluetooth Keyboard Folio is superb for its size.

Such useful keys as “select left,” “select right,” “select all” simplify your work, as you don’t have to remove your fingers from your keyboard in order to select text.

Belkin’s accessory for iPad 2 also has such handy buttons as “copy,” “cut” and “paste.” There is another great button that can hide and reveal your tablet’s digital keyboard.

This case is classy. It’s black and it’s designed for fashion-wise people who are not looking for standing out among their friends and partners.

You can use it as a stand for iPad 2 with many grooves along its base. It won’t slip around thanks to the velvety texture of its base.

Cons

Some users find it bothersome to periodically go into the settings to manually select the keyboard in their tablet computer’s Bluetooth settings. Even the “pair” button doesn’t help to pair keyboard with it.

Another problem is taking the iPad or keyboard from the case which fits so tight.

When you try to attach the charger, you’ll also face some troubles. This task is not easy.

Verdict

iPad 2 Bluetooth Keyboard Case by Belkin is stylish but a bit finicky.
