I was hesitant to purchase this off-brand product for my iPad (3rd generation), but I'm so glad I did!
First, the keyboard is awesome. It's a reduced-sized keyboard to fit the iPad case, but it is not difficult to use at all; I adjusted very quickly. Like most keyboards, the "f" and "j" keys have little bumps on them to keep fingers positioned correctly. It is super-responsive; I have not noticed any lag. (I type at about 80 WPM, so faster typers may experience lag-- but I wouldn't know.) I love all of the functional keys, and I especially like the ability to adjust brightness without exiting or pausing an app! There's a home button key, and even a key that will start a slide show of photos in the camera roll-- not that I'll ever use that function, but it's still pretty cool.
Pairing the keyboard is quick and easy-- nothing to it. Instructions for pairing are included, as well as list of all of the keyboard functions.
I like that the keyboard is removable, too. In conjunction with the case, which doubles as a stand, the removable keyboard allows optimal positioning when the regular "laptop-style" position won't do.
The case itself is very sturdy and looks nice. It closes with a little magnetic flap on front. As a stand, it can be positioned "laptop-style," as mentioned previously, and it can also be folded over to position the iPad at a much smaller angle, probably about 10 degrees (about the same as the smaller angle of the Apple SmartCover).
The more I use it, the more I realize how much went into the design of this thing in order to make it as functional as possible. At the moment, I have it set up "laptop-style" on my lap while sitting on the sofa. In the photos, you can see that there is a flat surface in front of the keyboard when the cover is completely unfolded, which is good for using it on a table, but you can also fold that part into a little triangle beneath the keyboard, which, in my case, has created the perfect setup for my lap.
If I had to mention one negative thing about this cover, it's that it does not have a magnet that turns off the iPad when the cover is closed, and the keyboard does not an auto-off feature. These are very minor complaints, and would never keep me from recommending this to someone else.
Purchase with confidence-- I'm glad I did!

Worked Great For My IPad I Used For College, Lightweight

A nice keyboard case
First impression of this case is that it is really nice. Good first impression! And it is nice. This case is a dark, bright pink, a bit darker than the picture, but that is a lighting thing with the photograph.This case seems really sturdy. I put my iPad mini 1st generation into it with no problems, and also fit an iPad mini 4 into it with no problems. That cannot be said about most cases. So this is a definite plus. The frame of the case is like an envelope that you slip your mini into. There is a flap that folds under your mini in order to keep it in place, so it does not fall out. This seems ok, but the flap has come untucked a few times. This could be remedied with a slim magnet closure of even a piece of Velcro.Now, in the picture, it kind of appears that this case may have a stand of some kind. Well, I guess it kind of does. The case has to be folded and the key board needs to be in place for the mini to rest on. That is how you can change the angle of your mini. Pull the keyboard toward you, the mini angles up, push the keyboard away from you, the mini angles downward. The frame part of the case is not detachable, but (obviously) the keyboard is. The keyboard is held in place with a strong magnet and stays in place during use. You can only use you mini in landscape if you want to use the keyboard as pictured. The mini portion of the case does not detach. However, you can take the keyboard off the case, fold the case back onto itself, prop it up in portrait position, and the keyboard will still work with it.The keyboard is easy to charge, just use the included charger. I have had this charged one time and it has lasted all week. That is a good thing!The leather is good quality, does not feel like that fake stuff that peels. All ports and buttons are accessible. The speaker on your mini can be heard just fine.This keyboard is easy to pair with your mini. Just follow the easy to read instructions. It may have taken me 30 seconds.Overall, this is a nice case.I received this case at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
