Five stars for my folio
The folio is lightweight and easy to use. I like the clever way it holds the iPad at just the right angle.

Attractive Case
The case is durable and attractive in a lightly woven case with the added attraction of a good sized keyboard in a compact and easily handled case.

great cover and keyboard is better than the last Zagg cover
I had an older Zagg cover with keyboard when I didn't know what Zagg was. I thought was really good and after years of use, I was sad to see this cover go once I upgraded my iPad. Wow, the new Zagg cover is just as nice, if not better and the keyboard is such an improvement. Definitely would recommend this product.

Messenger Folio 2
I've had many different Folio models over the years and all have performed perfectly. With one a few years back, the case (not the keyboard) broke and customer service went out of their way to get me a new replacement model as my old model was no longer in production.
I bought this new Folio 2 to go with my new IPad and its working perfectly.

Nice Keyboard case, with limitations
This case is robustly built and the keyboard feels substantial. Protection for the tablet when closed is excellent. Battery lasts forever. Esthetics are nice. Unfortunately, it can only be used in a single upright position. This makes things like using a stylus or positioning a camera for video calls difficult. But for the price point, it’s very nice.

This is my second keyboard/case purchase from ZAGG. The first was for my iPad mini. I had no difficulty pairing my mini or iPad 10.2. Keyboard is functional. Keys are sized well. Case is attractive. Beware, they are heavy, however this is due to them being well built and substantial. I feel they represent a significant cost savings compared to Apple products.

I thought this would be like my previous iPad case and would be able to be removed from the keyboard. Other than that it does the job of protecting the iPad with the conveniences of a small keyboard. Just wish that I could remove the iPad from the keyboard for easy handling for searching the web and social media.

Terrible keyboard
This keyboard is horrible. I would be typing and the keyboard didn’t even register that I typed the letters. I had to press on the letter hard to make it work. I ended up mailing it back to Zagg and I had to pay the shipping costs. This product sucks. Don’t buy it!
I had purchased a Zagg folio back in 2013 and it was the best. It worked great. They need to bring back the old folios.

Great IPAD keyboard cover!
The keypad is very easy to use. A little on the heavy side, but worth it. The top part that holds the IPAD does some out of the slot sometimes if you move the IPAD. You have to keep it very still to keep it in place. Then when it is time to close the cover, it is a bit tricky to close…

Nice Product
This Messenger Folio is just what I was looking for to replace my previous one. This is the 3rd one I have purchased. The 1st one, the battery lasted about 7 years, the 2nd one, only about 3 years. Hopefully this one will give better service. The people at Zagg are very good at standing behind their products if a problem should occur. You can buy their products elsewhere, but you are wiser to buy directly from their website.

Just OK
This is the forth ipad cover i bought from Zagg. They all last about 2 years and then crap out. They no longer make the heavy duty cover that i had previously. My previous cover could be opened like a book (screen at any angle you want). This one opens to only one screen position. There's nothing wrong with this cover, but when this one craps out, I'll probably buy a different cover. There's nothing terrible about this cover, it's just OK, nothing special and i'm sure there's better products out there.

Gen 9 keyboard case
My former IPad Pro had a Logitech keyboard case. This Zagg case is easily comparable. In configuration and ease of use. The blue tooth was clumsy for the first few connections, but has now smoothed out evenly. Key strikes are solid and firm. The five star aspect is of course, the price! Logitech can’t even offer a carry case at this price point. This is the deal of the day when you want a keyboard for your new 9 gen iPad.

Same quality product
I had a ZAGG keyboard for my previous iPad (9.7 inch). That iPad died after almost six years of use. The ZAGG keyboard I used with it is still good and is going to a new home. The new ZAGG keyboard is simply more of the same quality and ease of use.

Do not recommend, doesn't work!
It was advertised in the description it would work with the latest ipad 9th gen 10.2. My ipad doesn't recognize the keyboard. Now I have to pay for shipping to send it back. What an awful experience!

Excellent I-pad case and keyboard.
Great price and well-built. Hold open feature for screen is solid. The keyboard enables both a good sizd keyboard fo my large, and old hands, plus the touch screen still works.

This is the second Zagg
This is the second Zagg keyboard I have owned. It is the only keyboard that actually has the “feel†of a full sized keyboard and allows me to type confidently.

Great IPAD keyboard cover!
The keypad is very easy to use. A little on the heavy side, but worth it. The top part that holds the IPAD does some out of the slot sometimes if you move the IPAD. You have to keep it very still to keep it in place. Then when it is time to close the cover, it is a bit tricky to close…
