Is this for First Gen or 2nd Gen,
Do you know at all?
Will work with both.
The gods!!!
-The iPad mini retina is slightly thicker than the iPad mini. This means the viewing angle chances because of how it slots in. It doesn't seem much but it is significant in use. It is much more comfortable with the original mini.
-The viewing angle is not adjustable.
-The base is really slippery. I bought a few small clear rubber feet so it wouldn't slip around whilst typing on it.
-It's not really a cover as it doesn't keep closed, so whilst it is when closed it looks like you have two nice aluminium halves, it won't stay closed unless you put it in a slip case or get a big rubber band or some elastic to go around it.
At the £52 I paid Amazon I couldn't get over it. At £30 I might not have been as disappointed.
You are COMPLETELY right! I have one for my iPad, and as soon as I saw this for the mini, I thought at this price I will bite and use the savings for an iPad mini.
The quality that Logitech put into these keyboards is by far the best. If the fruit company put their own badge on it you would not have been able to tell the difference.
On the plus side, one charge lasts months.
There's got to be a downside of course and the fact that it doubles the thickness and adds quite a few grams to the weight compared to the iPad alone will put some people off. You'll also need to fork out a few more $$$ for a slip case if you want to protect both the backs of the iPad and keyboard from scratches but this would be the case if you wanted to protect the back of the iPad if using an Apple Smartcover. It does slip around a bit on smooth surfaces but the addition of sticky rubber pads on the bottom of the keyboard resolves this issue.
The keyboard turns your iPad Mini in to a small touch screen netbook and makes it a lot easier to use when composing long winded emails or documents, this makes it more productive so helps to justify the not insubstantial purchase cost of the iPad, however it does beg the question - "Why not buy a small netbook in the first place?"
