LUV IT!!
Pros: ease of set up, ease of use, long battery life
Cons: adds a little weight
Best companion to my iPad - easy to set up, easy to use and I now get more use out of my iPad. Best of GPS gives the best online, expedient service I have seen. Ordered online, order confirmed and shipped same day, then received it the following day. Great work ZAGG and GPS - a great 'pairing' for my iPad.

NICE BUILD QUALITY - SOME DESIGN FLAWS
Pros: nice keybarod feel and build quality.
Cons: significantdesign flaw on the clasp mechanism
Works fine. Clip gets loose within a month or so. (It's a friction fit clip that as the plastic gets exercised it eventually gets "soft" - it comes undone easily.) Flipping the iPad down does not seem to power it off - so it stays on until it falls asleep. I expected to power-off just like when closing a laptop lid. For some reason, the charging ports are covered by the plastic sleeve - which means in order to charge it, you have to slip the keyboard out of the sleeve. This is a silly over-sight by the designers.

GREAT SOLUTION - IF YOU DON'T MIND THE SIZE
Pros: great keyboard
Cons: makes a think ipad not so thin.
This is a terrific case and a great keyboard. It's nearly as easy to type on as Apple's own wireless bluetooth keyboard. It will take a little adjustment because it's smaller, but not much.
The biggest adjustment comes from the fact that your svelte iPad, is now the size of a small Netbook. Totally worth it when you are entering lots of text, but rather frustrating when you just want to fold it flat and lay it on your lap for reading.

BLACK CARBON FIBRE LOOKS BETTER IN THE SHADE
Pros: functions as described bought three of em
Cons: does not come in pink - for the wife
thank you Gino.
Well the zagfolio is everything that I wanted, it protects my Ipad, types very well, looks great and functions well. I am concerned how it will respond to spills on the cover but it seems to wash off, have not had anything greasy on it yet but that may come soon at my next McDonald down load extravaganza.

LOVE IT!
Pros: versatile, good battery life
Cons: price!
I am really happy with this product - a must have! It is very easy to switch from portrait, landscape, or handheld without the keyboard. Battery life and power management is extremely good.

FINALLY SOMETHING THAT REALLY WORKS
Pros: it works :)
I had tried another popular key board case for ipad 2 but they were unresponsive and did not secure the ipad adequatley.
The Zaggfolio was easy to set up & connect to, very responsive and smart, battery charge is not exaggerated and make typing on the ipad a dream.
I have recommended to 2 of my friends who have purchased them as well and are extremely satisfied.

VERY COOL, DOES IT ALL
Pros: looks very cool. works as advertised
Cons: latch a bit tough to open.
The Zaggfolio works as advertised. I just slipped the iPad in and away I went. The latch mechanism is a bit wonky and you end up sliding more than unlatching, but it opens well, stands at attention and works great.

GOOD BYE MISS NETBOOK, HELLO IPAD
Pros: protection, battery, price and portability
Cons: delivery, so popular, hard to get.
With the exception of a mouse, your iPad2 with a Zaggofolio now becomes a great replacement for a netbook or laptop, if your world revolves around spreadsheets, word-processing, presentations, internet and of course social networking.
The ZAGGfolio unleashes the business side of your iPad, with allowing you protection and portability.
The ZAGGfolio battery seems to never die and the connection is a strong bluetooth system, which is instantaneous and rock steady.
An iPad2 without the ZAGGfolio is probably great for 11 year old girls....

GREAT TO HAVE A KEYBOARD!
Pros: having a keyboard
This is not my primary computer and bought for travelling. I enjoy having a real keyboard again with the Zagg although you still have to touch the screen for some functions which is confusing at first but you'll get used to that. The angle the screen sits at is very comfortable.

NEAT PIECE OF KIT
Pros: precision built excellent protection
Cons: no navigation shortcut keys bluetooth issues
Built like a tank but light and very slim. Installed, it ends up making the whole package a little thicker than an original iPad. The iPad slides like a glove into the lid. Magnets in the keyboard edge sleep the device when you close the lid. Without the iPad installed, the package is a little cumbersome to handle and transport, as the clasp doesn't really hold the clam-shell closed properly.
The keyboard is just *slightly* smaller than the MacBook Pro keyboard, so it takes a little getting used to. However, I am quite capable of touch-typing at my usual speed on this keyboard. The keys are tactile and slightly lighter to press than the MacBook keys (which I certainly don't mind).
Talks to the iPad with minimal setup, but I seem to have to access the Bluetooth setup about half the time to pair the 2. The other half of the time, it's simply there when both are turned on and I don't know why.
There are some excellent short-cut keys, but no keys to navigate home pages or to navigate around a page to select apps. You either have to take your hands off the keyboard or access the Search page to find an app. This is mildly aggravating. When I install the keyboard, I expect to have full functionality without having to use the touch screen.
All things considered, this was an excellent investment and for me, well worth the hundred bucks or so I spent on it.

GREAT PRODUCT!
Pros: long battery liffe, convenient
Cons: a little bulky, only one design choice
I take my iPad everywhere and use it all the time. The Zaggfolio basically turns my tablet into an ultraportable laptop and offers great protection. Would recommend this highly.

DEATH TO THE NETBOOKS !!
This is probably one of the best additions to the iPad2 accessory lines. Literally with iCloud, Ipad2, Pages, Keynotes,Numbers and the zaggfolio, there is no need to succumb to an overly complicated windows machine.
The case is sturdy, very protective, and stylish. The keyboard is instantaneous in response and makes the iPad2 a real contender to kill laptops & netbooks in the business world.

THE WAIT MIGHT BE WORTH IT
Pros: quality materials, keyboard easy to use
Cons: case doesn't close, delay in resolving problem
I like the idea of this, but the implementation so far has been seriously lacking. I ordered the Zaggmate in March 2011. Month after month GPSCity said it would be available soon. Eventually they said that they couldn't acquire it from Logitech but could supply the Zaggfolio.
I like having the keyboard. It makes having the iPad 2 like having two devices. I find that I use the iPad as an entertainment device when I do not have it in the Zaggfolio and as a "productivity" device. For example, I am likely to play games, read magazines (Zinio), read information collators such as Zite or Flipboard, track weather or take photos/video without the ZaggFolio. Put the iPad into the folio and I use the iPad for word processing (Pages), budget tracking (HomeBudget), email, and other keyboard intensive tasks. It is like having two devices.
Unfortunately, the implementation has been seriously flawed. The folio just won't stay closed, which makes it impractical to use as an iPad 2 case. Zagg says the problem is that in product development they used iPads that had Zagg skins on them and that an iPad with a Zagg skin on it works fine with the Zaggfolio. That may be, but I have my suspicions. Both of our iPads have competitors skins on them and the folio does not close properly with either. I have difficulty imagining that there is such a significant difference between Zagg's skins and their competitors' that a case would not close without the Zagg brand skin.
To its credit, Zagg is in the process of making good on delivering a usable product. They say they will send new case covers to early purchasers of the Zaggfolio when the redesigned cover is produced. This increases my suspicion about the reason for the case not closing. It seems it would be faster and cheaper for Zagg to send early purchasers a Zagg skin that would solve the problem now, rather than waiting until redesigned folios are available.
Recommend? NO OPINION
