SHARKK iPad Air Keyboard Bluetooth Wireless 7.3mm Ultrathin Aluminum Keyboard Cover Stand for The iPad Air Apple iPad 5 Keyboard

Pairing was very fast and easy and seems to maintain connection well. I had also read reviews that the cover does not support the ability to put the iPad to sleep whenever it is closed but there must have been a change because it does support sleep/wake with my iPad Air.Pros:- The space gray color of the case matches the iPad extremely close- Ease of pairing- The ability to disconnect the iPad easily- The case is very thin- Sleep/Wake support- When the keyboard connects it automatically hides the virtual keyboard but has a hotkey to bring it back up if neededCons- It takes a while to get used to the small buttons but I suppose that's the limitation of having a keyboard the size of an iPad. The first few uses will result in some mistypes- Some sites seem to not support an external keyboard and even though there's a hotkey on the SHARKK keyboard to bring up the virtual keyboard it won't work on those sites. You have to turn the keyboard off to bring up the virtual keyboard. This may just be an iOS issue that plagues all external keyboards, however.The choice basically comes down to one question: Do you want an external keyboard that attaches like the Apple smart cover or do you want a full case? If you want to be able to easily attach/detach the keyboard and have the freedom to use the iPad in either portrait or landscape modes, then you can't beat the price, performance, and look of this keyboard cover.

I hardily recommend this grrreat keyboard accessory. Disclaimer: I did have to return mine because of the inconsistency of the auto wake/sleep feature. That is always a deal breaker to me. In order to get the auto sleep feature to work you have to squeeze the keyboard closer to the iPad Air right in the middle of the where the space bar is located... then it works. But then sometimes it will activate the auto wake feature when jostled around, but not actually opened... so IMO this would cause a lot of discharged batteries and not something I'm willing to deal with.That said, everything else about this key board is top notch. The keys feel of a great quality matte finish that makes this accessory feel a lot more quality than other keyboard covers in this price range. This keyboard is much thinner and lighter than the ZAGGkeys backlight keyboard cover w/ hinge. (The ZAGGkeys is one I'm going to keep, it is probably my favorite keyboard accessory for the iPad Air along with the New Trent Air Bender Air). It is also lighter and thinner than the Logitech ultrathin keyboard cover. The logitech has a larger more comfortable feeling keyboard to type on, but all other characteristics the SHARKK matches perfectly for half the price! The Logitech does however auto/ power on/off more consistently... but at twice the price of this keyboard for those two somewhat minor differences is not worth me keeping either so I sent it back as well. The ZAGGkeys was the one I prefer to either of these offerings. But if I had to choose only between the SHARKK and the Logitech, I would choose the SHARKK, because of the significant price/value point.Best of Luck. BTW Stay away from the Minisuit Keyboard stand and other cheap companies like Intsun and others that offer a low-price yet seemingly high rated ultrathin keyboard stand covers that look in the pictures like the Logitech. They are very, very cheap in every possible way. I purchased about 3-4 different ones, thinking they would be different from one another because they had different names and were purchased from different companies... unfortunately they were all identical, and too cheap to actually hold the iPad in the portrait mode with out creaking or cracking... Please beware. SHARKK and Logitech are the only ones made solid enough to actually hold the iPad in Portrait mode!

I LOVE this keyboard! I have the privilege of reviewing products for Sharkk. However, I was NOT provided a free unit to review. I paid for this and I don't regret it. I researched numerous keyboards and keyboard cases before I became a product reviewer for Sharkk. In fact, this keyboard is how I found out about Sharkk products. I read every one of the reviews and that cinched the deal for me. Sharkk is also very willing to stand behind their products and I admire that in any company.This keyboard is light and looks wonderful when attached to my iPad. The keys are easy to tap and I don't miss a full size keyboard when I'm using it. The price is amazing. The quality is stellar. You will not find such a quality keyboard even close to this price through any other company. It attaches to the iPad quickly and easily. It maintains a firm hold and I'm not afraid of it falling off while in transit. I haven't had to charge it yet so the battery is maintaining quite well. I was a little afraid it might scratch the edge of my iPad but so far it's not an issue. If you're trying to decide on a keyboard for you iPad Air, look no further.
