Great typing experience for the iPad Air 2! No comparison to the cheap Chinese rubber keyboards I had tried before. They are worlds apart.
Strong magnet "Snapin" for snap-in position when setting up the screen. So not those snap-in limiters that you usually have and wear out after a while. Unfortunately, this also means that no intermediate click positions are possible. The keyboard switches on automatically (and the virtual keyboard switches off) when the iPad is placed in the magnetic rest position and switches off when the iPad is moved away again. It is therefore also possible to use the iPad "flat" without a keyboard, and the virtual keyboard becomes active again.
I find the "function keys" very practical:
- "Esc" which behaves like the home button.
- Swap between apps
- Siri
- Search (Spotlight)
- Globe (change keyboard layouts via popup)
- Turn on virtual keyboard (because it doesn't appear anymore with text fields with the snap position placement)
- Screenshot function (like pressing the home+off buttons)
- Music Player Reverse/Forward/Play-Pause buttons
- Loudspeaker off/quieter/louder buttons
- Lock
In addition, the Fn key can also be used to cut/copy/paste on the X/C/V keys.
I have not yet tried out what the CTRL/ALT/CMD keys do.
The keyboard layout is good enough, of course it doesn't replace a proper notebook/PC keyboard.
The whole cover is thinner than my previous faux leather cover, which looks thin and elegant.
Unfortunately, it is not a faux leather surface but a ribbed, rather stiff plastic surface.
This probably has to be the case because of the stability. It makes it look a little less elegant, but that is certainly a matter of taste.

Handy case and good typing feel. The keyboard battery seems to last forever! Unfortunately, the iPad holder is not very stable. I already have the 2nd keyboard where the holder is torn and so the tablet can no longer be securely fixed.
