Arteck Protection Case & Stand HB030B Bluetooth Keyboard (Bluetooth Keyboard not Included)

If you have the keyboard these fit, this is a really good case! I’ve had the keyboard and another case for a few years, love em, no problem, my favorite for traveling light because they are just that: light, while still being sturdy enough to be comfortable for a good couple hours of use. I’ve tried keyboards attached to iPad cases and not liked them because it confined the keyboard to the footprint of the iPad (not always ideal, especially in a mini like mine) and makes you always have to have the keyboard, even when you don’t necessarily need it, like around the house. I’ve tried folding keyboards that end up not being any bigger than a cell phone and liked the portability but not the comfort of using the actual keyboard unfolded, with the strange shapes of the keys.When my best friend got an iPad just before her birthday and wanted a keyboard to make it easier to use for notes at d&d games at friends’ houses, I immediately got her the keyboard I personally liked best, and then this case, because it was well reviewed and smaller and more convenient than the case I was using. (Which was also good, but you have to unzip it and take the keyboard *out to use it.) As soon as she opened them and put the keyboard in the case, I fell in love, lol. You spend a lot of time writing on different devices, in different surroundings, you get fussy about this sort of thing, what can I say?I dithered about it for a bit, but then bought another one for myself, and one for my dad. I have to say, this case is slim enough it actually fits inside my other, zip up case. I actually like that for the added protection, since the zip case has a handle and padding, but then I pull the keyboard out in this case and it’s still got the protection of a good, sturdy feeling case, that even folds up to make a nice stand for my iPad mini. Obviously, I have no complaints so far!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Fantastic. Totally worth it. Cover protects your keyboard, sure, but really it's for holding your phone. Lasted me years-- I think like five?-- before it finally quit charging. I had to charge it at a weird angle for it to work those last few months, so it was probably a loose connection on the port that finally went out. Relatively quiet and subtle aesthetic make it fit right in even in business casual environments. Low weight, long battery life. Overall, the best keyboard to use with a phone.

This sleeve has a good, protective, firm top and bottom covering for the keyboard. The magnet inside the sleeve holds the keyboard in place very well.My only "complaint" is that the flap that closes the sleeve has a magnet that is almost too good. It's just a little bit of a challenge (for me) to open the flap. I suspect I will wear out the edges of the flap trying to open it. I think an improvement would be to have a small tab you could grab to open the flap.

While I'm mostly satisfied with the HB030B keyboard, I'm still a little on the fence about it. This case may be what convinces me to keep it.There's not a lot to review about it, it does what's advertised. It holds onto the keyboard magnetically, and it's a pretty decent hold. It adds minimal bulk when wrapped around the keyboard, so it protects without taking up noticeable additional space. And the best part, te part that sold me most, is the stand feature, provided by simply folding the half of the cover that isn't attached to the keyboard. Setting it up to do some web browsing or streaming is pretty much instant.If I could change anything, it would be to add a built-in riser at the rear of the keyboard somehow. Something using similar materials and magnets, that unfolds and props it up. As it is, it's pretty much flat against whatever surface it's on. Which is fine for casual use, but it could still be a little more comfortable.On the smaller flap, there are 2 bumps which I think are intended to be wrist rest, and leaving them out (instead of tucking them under, as I usually do) does provide a little bit of an angle. But it's a very small tilt, and if they're wrist rests there isn't much to rest on. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, and the bumps are just a design.Overall very happy with it. Had more issues with the keyboard than the case, but the combination is actually pretty nice, and the combined price is reasonable.

Elegant as in, does what it does very well, and does nothing extra or unnecessary. I love it. It looks great protecting my little keyboard (I am thrilled to discover that there are finally abundant, decent quality, backlit Bluetooth keyboards, BTW) and the stand works. It is not an elaborate stand by any means at all, and it needs a solid surface beneath it. I've managed it on my lap without a lap desk, but that's seriously pushing things. But WITH a lap desk, or (horrors) AT a desk or table, wonderful. The tablet, ensconced in a heavy, Otter-knockoff case, sits stably behind the keyboard, which doesn't slide around at all.It IS small, but after all, that's why I wanted it. So I could easily carry it around with my tablet. Which I can do--I hardly notice the keyboard/case combination is there at all.Wonderful. Just what I wanted. And now,, thanks to the Q&A section, I know how to access the different colors. Not necessary, but an easy touch to add these days and kinda nice.Now I can finally use my tablet after dark without bothering anyone, and I can use a keyboard as well without havng to point the tablet's screen down at the keyboard to find whatever key I need. Yes,, I touch type, but on such a small keyboard I need to be able to find the right position first, you know?Very happy, with keyboard and case both.
