ZAGG Flex - Slim, Portable, Universal Keyboard & Stand Works with Any Bluetooth Device Including Tablets, Smartphones, and Smart TV - Black (103201717)

Update - July 24, 2020I recently thought the “D” key was starting to hit and miss. I turned the keyboard upside down and gently tapped the bottom of it. That seems to have corrected the problem. In the meantime I ended up ordering a replacement keyboard. I ordered the exact same model. That’s how much I like the Zagg Flex Slim keyboard.As soon as I received the “replacement” keyboard and fully charged it, I paired it with the same iPhone 11 Pro that my original Zagg Flex keyboard is paired with. I was a little concerned how well having two of the same model keyboards paired with the same phone would work, but I didn’t have anything to worry about. Whichever of the two keyboards I decide to use, all I have to do is open the keyboard’s cover, and it immediately connects. And, I’m able to seamlessly switch between the two keyboards, even in mid-sentence, without missing a beat. ≈One other thing I’ve noticed, even though I use this keyboard regularly, I’ve never run out of battery, and I rarely ever recharge it.I love the Zagg Flex Slim portable keyboard, and I would recommend them to a friend.Update - February 15, 2020I’ve moved up to an iPhone 11 Pro, and the my Zagg Flex is still working perfectly. It paired perfectly with the 11 Pro, and I use the Flex all the time. The rechargeable battery still holds a strong charge, and I’ve never had it die on me. The keys are still nice and responsive, and the detachable cover/cellphone holder shows no sign of wear, even after many hours of use during the last 13 months of use.Update - September 25, 2019I’ve only recharged this keyboard twice, since purchasing it, and that was just to “top it off.” I use this keyboard with my iPhone 8, and with my iPad, all the time, and I love it.Update - July 2, 2019I purchased this keyboard around the end of January 2019, and I couldn’t be happier with it. This is one of those products that truly does earn all five stars. It’s lightweight, portable, and solidly built, and dependable. The keys are crisp and there’s no annoying extra spacing, skipping, or key sticking. The keys are reasonably large, even for my fat, old man, fingers. The Bluetooth never fails to connect, and there’s no on/off button to worry about, since it powers off instantly once the detectable keyboard cover is closed. If there’s anything negative about this keyboard, I haven’t found it, and I use it on a regular basis. I highly recommend this keyboard.Original review:Let me begin by saying, this is definitely the best Bluetooth keyboard and stand that I’ve ever owned.I just received the Zagg Flex keyboard and detachable stand today, fired it up, paired it with my iPhone 8, and stated putting it through it’s paces. I’ve had so many other Bluetooth keyboards over the last few years, some good, some not so good, so now I don’t waste any time getting a new one up and running right away.Pairing this keyboard with my iPhone was simple and fast, this coming from a guy in his 70’s. The backlit keys are confortably space, and very crisp and responsive. As a touch typist, I find this to be a very important feature. The keys are in the standard QWERTY pattern, with none of the odd key placements that I’ve found on other compact keyboards. The key backlighting offers a choice of seven different colors, with the option of turning off the backlight feature, to conserve battery power. There’s even a key that lets you instantly check the keyboard’s battery level.The folding cover is magnetized, and when it is opened, or when it is closed, it automatically turns the keyboard on or off. I’m not sure what material the cover is made of, but it’s thin, lightweight, and the surface is very soft to the touch. It folds over the keyboard and completely covers it, when closed. When open, it forms a platform to hold your phone or tablet. My cellphone is equipped with an Otterbox case, which gives the phone a bit of additional girth, but it still sits securely in the stand, whether in the portrait or the landscape position.The quick start manual that comes with this keyboard is clear, concise, and easy to follow. According to the Quick Start manual, additional instructions are available online.Those are the “Pros,” as I see them. If there are any “Cons,” I’ve yet to find them. This keyboard and stand are well worth the money.

I am in love with this keyboard. For me there is no cons about it. It’s the perfects size (the dimensions are 9.68’’ x 5.51’’ x 0.53’’) and the fact that it can switch from two different Bluetooth devices rather quickly and easily is amazing. Along with that this keyboard is back lit with white, yellow, red, blue, purple, green, and teal. How to turn on the back lighting is you press and hold the fn button located on the bottom left corner of the keyboard at the same time of holding down the down arrow key botton where you see the small backlight icon and to make the light brighter you can press the down button up to three times and when you want to switch colors you can press the right arrow key and keep pressing it until you find the color you want to have. The backlight turns off automatically after a bit of not using it to save battery power. When this happens just start using the keyboard to turn on the backlighting again. I use this keyboard between my iPhone 8, iPad mini 5 and my tv. It’s a joy to type on with its scissor-switch keys. I love how it comes with a cover for the keyboard that acts as a stand. Also the only way to turn off the keyboard is when you put it away in its cover. The keyboard turns on automatically when you uncover the cover that it’s in. It has a leather-like feel to it. I love how your able to detach the keyboard, its very comfortable for me to type on. The keyboard is very light-weight (0.9 pounds) and takes about two full hours to charge completely right out of the box and so far I have no issues with the battery draining quickly. The battery life last up to 1 year providing you use its cover to turn off the keyboard when your done using it.

This keyboard is currently being used with my iPad Mini 4 and I was actually super impressed with it in the beginning with the backlit keyboard, the instant bluetooth connection and so on. I liked the specialized buttons that call up the apps so i can just swipe left and right to switch apps, and how quickly it moves the bluetooth connection from my iPad to iPhone with the f1 and f2 keys. About a month in though, and I forgot which day it happened, it just suddenly started being laggy. I thought at first that it was already needing a charge, but upon checking with the keystrokes to call up the battery power (three green flashes at the top right button after pressing ctrl and fn at the same time, confirms it still had full battery) I couldn’t figure out why it was laggy. I tried re-pairing it with both iOS devices to no avail. This keyboard was laggy for the longest time until only until recently about a week ago, it started acting normal again. Maybe it was a weird fluke? I do like that the cover turns into a stand and as I have a fairly small lap I can actually type with this keyboard and the iPad on my lap. From reading the other reviews I thought the battery would last longer but I did recently have to charge it already. One thing that peeves me though is how much the inside of the cover, which is some kind of suede like material, is such a dust, lint and fur magnet! Although now that it's back to normal, I can actually say I am quite happy with this purchase.(All this was typed up on the said Zagg keyboard by the way.)
