I regret to say that the typing experience doesn't match the quality of the rest of the case. The middle of the keyboard deck has a little flex, which seems to contribute to the spongy feel of the keys. Size, spacing, and key travel are all fine, but I can't get past the mushy feedback. And even though I bumped into the edges only when I used the keyboard on my lap, I can't shake the claustrophobic feel of having walls on the sides of the keyboard.

The keyboard does offer lots of helpful iPad shortcut keys along the top row, such as home and search shortcuts, an on-screen keyboard toggle, cut/copy/paste buttons, media playback controls, volume controls, and a lock key.

The perfectionist in me likes to make sure that the shiny Apple logo on the back of my iPad remains scratch-free, so I'm not too keen on the idea of leaving the back unprotected. That, combined with the mushy keys, would leave me looking elsewhere for a case. But if you're seeking a sturdy protection for the display, and if you can tolerate a mixed typing experience, you can't beat the aluminum frame of the Logitech Keyboard Case by ZAGG.
