REVIEW – Since I bought my iPad Pro 11 inch last year, I have intended to use it as a laptop replacement while not at my desk. I’ve tried various case/keyboard/mouse combinations, and all have been frustrating enough to not work for me. The Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad seems perfect, but the high cost …
Logitech Folio Touch for iPad Pro review – turn your iPad Pro into a laptop Read More
REVIEW – Let me state a couple of things right up front. First, I’ve never owned a Mac (or PC) laptop, so I’m approaching this review as a non-trackpad user. Second, when I bought my new(ish) iPad Pro 2018 model, I immediately purchased the Brydge iPad Pro keyboard that Dave Rees reviewed here. Like Dave, …
REVIEW – Let me begin by saying that I am not a fan of trackpads—the external kind. I tolerate them when they are part of a laptop, but prefer a mouse because I’m old-school that way. As it turns out, Logitech (a respected maker of third-party accessories) has a new keyboard made just for iPad …
ARTICLE – Nearly as soon as it was announced, I ordered one of Apple’s Magic Keyboards for my recently-acquired 11” iPad Pro (first generation). And when it arrived today, I eagerly got it set up and started typing out my first impressions. Previously, I had been using a spare Mac Magic Keyboard and a Twelve-South …
Apple Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro: First impressions Read More
REVIEW – For the most part, I think the optimal input device for an iPad is one’s fingers. Some people, however, have a need to enter a lot of text. While the built-in, virtual keyboard on an iPad is serviceable, having a real, physical keyboard makes typing so much easier. My wife teaches English online, …
NEWS – On Wednesday, Apple announced that iPadOS 13.4 will bring trackpad and mouse support for the iPad. With the news, Logitech wasted no time announcing their newest iPad keyboard case, the Combo Touch.

REVIEW – OK, I’m going to lead with…I LOVE this thing. I know the BRYDGE PRO is not for all iPad users for reasons I’ll get to. But for me it fits into, at least in part, how I want to use my tablet. Last year Bill Henderson reviewed the Brydge 12.9 Series II Bluetooth …

REVIEW – I have owned the previous 3 or 4 versions of the iPad and the last 2 versions of the iPad Pro 12.9″. I now use it so often that it is a daily part of my workflow. The ability to have a good case with a sturdy kickstand and an integrated keyboard is …

REVIEW – When I got a 12.9 in. IPad pro, I had already purchased a case for it. I’m that paranoid of dropping and ruining any iDevice I buy. The case I bought was the Speck Stylefolio Pencil Case—a great case that does not include a keyboard. I’ve never been thrilled with the choice of …

The ZAGG Nomad Book adds function to your mobile devices Read More
Keyboard cases for the iPad arrived very shortly after the device itself. We’ve covered many here at The Gadgeteer. Most of these have incorporated a Bluetooth keyboard. I’ve usually not been interested in these, because the typing surface of the keyboard is so much smaller than a standard keyboard. With the release of the 10.5” …
Functionality and protection, that is what I want in a case for my iPads. While functionality is a nice feature to have, protecting my investment is a must. I have owned several iPads since their launch and my main protection choice was some kind of Smart Cover and a protective back. All of the smart …
