Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a well-engineered product, but not well designed. Let me run through some of the pros & cons: On the positive side: +The rubbery case feels great. I love leather, but the rubber feel to this case is very reassuring when I'm carrying around my iPad mini. +The keys (when I hit them properly) have a pretty good response, though they occasionally need a stronger press than I'm used to (and I end up missing letters from time to time). +It's svelte. It doesn't add much bulk at all to the mini and is very easy to carry. +The command and option keys are nice add-ons for working with text selections. And for the negatives: -Belkin made some very odd choices for key layouts. The apostrophe requires pressing a function key and it's very awkward. I find myself constantly backspacing and retyping my words that have them. -The space bar is shifted just enough to the left of center that I keep missing it when trying to hit it with my right thumb. -I'm used to the top-right key being a "delete" key, but on this keyboard it's the equal sign. -The entire keyset is set in a well of sorts (surrounded by a little rise around the perimeter of the keyboard). What this means is that it's impossible to use your pinkies to orient your hands to the smaller keyboard. All in all, it's a well-made product, but I think it was rushed to market and the design/usability suffered. If anyone at Belkin actually used this for more than a day, I think they would have rethought some of their design choices. I bought this case to be able to type notes at conferences, but I can't imagine trying to take notes with this thing and dealing with all of the errors from the key layout on this thing. Mine will be going back and I'll be waiting to see what Logitech's answer for the iPad mini is. (I had their ultraslim for my iPad 2 and I loved it!) PS-I'm not affiliated with Belkin or Logitech PPS-Every apostrophe in this review needed to be retyped. UGH!
