Tech Review: The Logitech UltraThin Keyboard Cover for iPad

Logitech really need to improve the battery life of this device. After just over a year of use the battery died on mine. The Logitech UltraThin Keyboard has no way to change the battery – so it just has to be chucked in the bin. Which was disappointing and is a shame because there’s lots I like about the device. Here’s a list of Pros and Cons:

• Easy to setup and connect to iPad via bluetooth.
• Thin Design and white colour.
• Doubles as a cover for iPad.
• Easy to charge by plugging into a computer USB port.
• The stand slot is great for positioning the iPad at the perfect angle to easily see the screen.
• Portable meaning you can work on the go.
• Status light: Green you are good to go, Amber (flashing) charging, Red no charge.
• On/Off switch on the side, so that you can switch it off to save power when not in use.

• Price. It’s expensive for what it is.
• Battery Life and inability to change the battery.
• There’s a lag between you typing on the keyboard and it appearing on the screen. At times, I’ve had to wait for it to catch up.
• Lots of additional functions on the keyboard – but no instructions enclosed on how to use them. Meaning for the average user they will be useless.
