I just bought a mini retina, and am trying out two keyboard non-folio cases for it: the Logitech Ultrathin and the Zagg cover for the mini (fits the retina). Each seems to have its own advantages and disadvantages, but I'd like to hear from someone who has used one of these for awhile what they think of theirs. Here are my impressions so far:
Zagg
Positives:
- $20 cheaper (probably because it was designed for the older mini)
- rotates into different positions
- clamp is stiff enough to hold the mini closed against it when not in use
- backlit keys
- more spacious width-wise
- separate row for function keys
Negatives:
- noticably heavier than the Logitech
- keys stiffer than Logitech, so more tiring to type on
- despite the greater layout space, I make more errors typing on it
- much harder to separate from mini than Logitech
- fit in the clamp is not as tight as it would be with the non-retina mini, though it does seem quite secure.
Logitech
Positives:
- much lighter than Zagg
- easier to type on than Zagg despite the more cramped layout
- quicker and easier to attach to and separate from mini
Negatives:
- more expensive ($60 vs $40 with current sale prices)
- doesn't hold to mini in clamshell position (i.e. you could accidentally drop the mini if you are holding the clamshell by the keyboard and it springs open
- only one angle available when in use (no rotating clamp like Zagg), but it's a good angle
I should mention that I have an Incase neoprene sleeve for my mini, so I don't need protection for when I pack it.
Your thoughts? Feel free to suggest another keyboard if you think it's better.
