Not cheap; integrated iPad stand makes it awkward to slip into a bag; editing chores such as cut-and-paste, still mostly reliant on iPad's touchscreen; supports only portrait orientation.
Comfortable, all-in-one design; dedicated iPad control keys
Ungainly design isn’t very portable
The disadvantage of bolting the dock onto the back of the keyboard is that it ruins its portability. The dock connector sticks out a good three inches, preventing you from easily sliding it into a bag or briefcase alongside the iPad. If you tend to use th...
Big and overly heavy, not much use for anything else, no landscape option for iPad
While the iPad Keyboard Dock makes typing on the iPad considerably easier we have to say it's not something we would recommend adding to your shopping list...
