Refurbished Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad 2 and 3 w/ Bluetooth, Metallic Frame and Instant On/Off! $45

I think there are few advantages of the old click-in version over this magnet version:

- Works with skins. Reviews say this version fits so tight it won't work with skins.
- Doesn't have glued-in lining
- The hot keys are in a separate line than the number keys. This new version appears to combine the internet-copy-paste-search-volume keys with the number keys.

I think the main advantages of this new version is you get the magnet on-off with the ipad 3, and it's slimmer especially at the edges.

Dang this is a good deal. Just don't get using a keyboard for my iPad, and I have a Bluetooth keyboard I could use anyway. Typing on a touchscreen can be annoying, but still I have never felt the need to use a keyboard. Maybe if I was a traveling journalist it would make sense. Doesn't work with a back cover. Smart cover protects better and looks nicer. Still this is such a good deal that I'm thinking about it.

I'm in for one even though this looks like it comes only in black, I can still use it for my white iPad. I usually do a ton of writing in coffee shops so this will come in handy.

I have the smart case. I'm planning on just putting this in my bag and taking it to meeting with me instead of using it as a case-replacement.

Would this work with zagg full body skin?

Quote from wtechie : Would this work with zagg full body skin?

It says this is for iPad 2 and 3, which have a bigger thickness difference than your Zagg skin adds. People said it doesn't work with a back cover. A back cover adds way more thickness than an insignificant little screen could possibly add. I'm pretty sure you'll be fine...

Quote from mrcharlieboi : Bought and returned from Costco a couple of weeks ago. If you have any type of back case on your iPad be prepared to take it on and off as it doesn't allow the iPad to fit perfectly in the slot.

Yeah, nice idea but way too much of a hassle to use this with a case. Most people will want to use a tablet without a keyboard most of the time and will want a case for protection. Someone needs to make a form fitting keyboard that works with a protective case.

I am using a Dell netbook sleeve with the included foam insert for it now.

I did the same thing only it was a few months ago, although I really did like the keyboard. I think I'll go for this one anyway. I always wonder how someone can have so many refurbished items (this deal or any deal for that matter). Are there really that many being returned? Ah well, just a rhetorical question.

Wow, I was really interested in this when it first came out but it was too expensive. Now that I've been using the iPad for a while with the on-screen keyboard and seeing all the review videos, I think I'm going to pass. Really awesome price for this though!

I'm sure they do get returns for little qwerks or tiny little imperfections that customers complain about. I work for a company that sells and manufactures touch screen tablets, our refurbs can range from a unit being returned just because the customer wasn't satisfied, or because it had a bad battery and needed to be replaced..

I've purchased a thing or two refurbd and it looked brand new, such as my Cisco wireless N router.

Are 1Sale and Bensoutlet safe? Because I ordered from them like a month ago and I still havn't gotten my stuff. They have tracking numbers but they don't seem to work.. Are they scam sites?

Quote from resonate : Condition: Factory Refurbished Unfortunately,

if it was directly from logitech as refurb i would bite..... both times i ordered refurbs from logitech, i received brand new in box non-refurbs... i dont trust 1saleaday as i have received refrubs when it didnt list as refurb...

Saw the same thing 'new' for $79.99 at Costco today.. so this IS a good deal.
