Belkin QODE Thin Type Keyboard Case for iPad Air

[Deleted member 233079]

I saw the other thread about the Ultimate, but I actually am more interested in the one that's not released, the Thin Type. Anyone know when it will be released?

It looks to be released around $99, and a good upgrade from my current Apple Wireless Keyboard. I love the dedicated iPad keys, especially the Siri button, sleep/wake, etc.

Anyone else interested? I obviously won't be using this all the time, since I have a Smart Cover because I love how light and small the Air is (main reason for my purchase). However this is good to throw in my backpack and use when I just really need a full keyboard!

Thanks for sharing, don't use portable keyboards to much. But that one looks pretty decent.

That's a damn sexy looking keyboard. Been toying with the idea of grabbing one and maybe this will be it!

I saw this keyboard on a Cnet feature article. It does look really cool, but I like my current set up better. I used to buy keyboard cases for my iPad, but not anymore. I have the Smart Cover, but then I also have the Apple bluetooth keyboard. It works great and I leave it at work because I need it to be productive. At home and just about everywhere else, the Smart Cover does a great job protecting my Air and providing functionality. I have found that using Apple accessories with Apple products has been seamless.

Edit*

I have since seen the light. I own the Belkin Qode and the Zagg backlit keyboard case and I will say that I like using bluetooth cases a lot better. I'm still pretty good with the software keyboard though. I like the versatility the physical keyboard brings.

What I don't like about the Belkin cases is the keyboard layout on the right side. The colon and comma/quotes keys are together and the question mark key is not reachable with my pinky finger like on a traditional keyboard. You can definitely adjust over time with this keyboard. However, when you use a traditional keyboard, your typing will be a little off. I got rid of the Qode and kept the Zagg Keys Folio keyboard case. The key layout is traditional and the keys are backlit. Loving this keyboard a lot. It feels like having a MBA.
