A solid iPad case
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Targus case is a convenient solution to transform your iPad into a home laptop. I bought it expecting to take my iPad on the summer trip, but this idea was surreal because of the summative weight of this combination. But for home use, its weight will be a plus giving a sturdy weight to your iPad.

Great keyboard and Swivel Case for the iPad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this case, especially given the price. The rotation is awesome on how it rotates on the multiple axis. The only negative is that you have to charge the keyboard versus the Logitech model that gets power from the iPad, but even then it is about 1/2 the price of the Logitech and is not really available anyway for the 7th Gen 10.2 anymore. Do not think twice about purchasing it.

Love my Targus VersaType!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Product! I had bought the Targus - Versa Type for my wife when I upgraded her iPad last year and liked the way if functions. When I upgraded mine recently, I opted for this one over the Zagg Rugged Book which I had used previously with my old iPad Air. Only time will tell how it holds up, but very impressed with it at this point.

Great Accessory
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very versatile and convenient with its multi position. The light up keyboard is an amazing feature. Battery life has been impressive. Only charged it once since I bought it (about 1 month). Use it daily for about 2 hours a day for homework.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionDoes the keyboard detach and is the ipad protected in a case
Asked by Cookie.
- A:Answer The keyboard doesn't detatch, but you can swing it around and fold it down behind the ipad to use it like just a tablet. The ipad itself is protected in a plastic case that is attached to the keyboard. It folds closed like a laptop and protects the ipad. Also the ipad can be popped out of the case easily if needed. I love it!

Q: QuestionLove this keyboard but had to return it because the back and forward buttons never worked. Reordered a second one which has the same problem. Is this a manufacturing defect? Apparently no troubleshooting for this I was told just return it.
Asked by Lapin.
- A:Answer Hello, sorry about the issues that you have been having with the VersaType. Let me see if we are able to assist. There are two things that we can try. First please go to settings>Accessibility>Keyboards>Full Keyboard Access and it on. You may also while there want to check that things like Show Lowercase Keys is also turned on. If that does not help it could be something with the mapping of the keys to fix that go to settings>general>Keyboard>Hardware Keyboard and tap over at the right edge. There check to be sure that it is not set to Automatic. If it is you will want to change it to US or ABC most likely. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. We can be reached at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM to 7 PM EST.
