“I had a Logitech I liked better in terms of key sensitivity and no need for an external charger. The Brydge for the Pro was awkward to put on due to some shims and they keys seem slow.”

“We are a family of 4 that are all iPad users, we have for Brydge key boards and we love them. In total we have had 6 as we lost 2 of them to water damage (our fault). Key board is great, use on the plane constantly while traveling on business and receive many compliments and questions how to buy etc... would definitely recommend. Only problem is that the two rubber bumpers on the lower part of the key board always come off which can cause your screen to stay on after screen and keyboard is closed.”

“I didn’t realize that this wasn’t a clamshell type of case/keyboard, and that the Brydge unit leaves the iPad exposed and unprotected. The description does not explain that one should get the same colored keyboard to match the iPad. I would have returned the product, except I would have to pay a restocking fee plus the return shipping fees. I could have gotten the same unit on Amazon and not pay for shipping. Feel ripped off.”

“Best accessory I have purchased for an iPad. It transforms the iPad into a laptop with the benefits of a touch screen. I use it for quick notes while with clients, or while on the road. Easy to detach to turn into an iPad. When it's closed, the keyboard provides the screen protection. Colour match is perfect. Battery has been excellent, I can't remember the last time I charged it. Connects after only a second or two delay from sleep and never had issues with connection to the iPad. It's stable, holds the weight of the iPad pro well, feels solid and all keyboard shortcuts are fully functional Cannot fault it at all”

“I went for the works (nearly) and got the Brydge keyboard, iPad 9.7" case, and 11" leather organizer. The keyboard is comfortable and easy to type on compared to other bluetooth tablet keyboards I've used. The key presses are appropriately firm and have enough key travel to make typing similar to what I would get from a laptop keyboard. The keyboard hinges are strong enough to keep the iPad from slowly leaning backwards or forwards on its own due to its own weight, but the hinges are not too tight/strong to make me worried I'll damage my iPad with opening and closing. The grips on the hinge also seem to hold the iPad tightly, but it's not hard to remove the iPad from the case or reattach it. My only criticism is, and this was something documented on the Brydge website, so I knew about it going in, I would love the hinge to swing around a full 360 degrees, like the iPad Pro keyboard hinge, instead of the 180 degrees with the 9.7" iPad keyboard. I'd love to not need to pull my tablet off of the keyboard to hold my iPad like a tablet when desired. That's not a big deal, but perhaps just something I'd love to see in a future iteration of this keyboard. Otherwise, the keyboard and build quality is amazing. I feel like I'm holding a mini macbook pro when using my iPad with this keyboard! The protective hardshell case isn't too big or bulky, but still gives me confidence that my iPad is protected if I were to drop it. The buttons recess enough into the sides of the case so they don't get damaged if the iPad were to drop, but you do have to press your finger finger into the button gaps a little further than you would expect to press the power or volume buttons. I'm still able to press the buttons fine, but it was something that took some getting used to. As for the 11" organizer...it's beautiful. I love carrying around my iPad and brydge keyboard in this thing. It's so well padded that I would feel no fear dropping my organizer, with iPad and keyboard inside, on the ground. I won't deliberately be doing that, of course, but I'm VERY confident that my iPad would be just fine. There is also a little loop in the leather organizer that lets me put my Apple Pencil in the case. However, the position of the pen/pencil loop is a little awkward. When you close the organizer, the pencil gets smooshed against the compartment that holds the iPad. I would like to see the pencil loop moved to the spine of the organizer, or have a gap carved out for the pencil, in future iterations to prevent any damage to the iPad or Apple Pencil. I've also noticed that, when the iPad is docked with the keyboard, the fit is a bit too snug in the organizer. Don't get me wrong, it fits, and it's not too hard to get the iPad and keyboard out, but it does seem more snug than it should be. It almost makes me feel like I'm not supposed to be fitting both in the organizer at the same time. While not perfect, these accessories are about as close to perfect as I would expect/need to be fully happy with my purchase. I'll definitely be buying from Brydge again! :)”
