Cooper Kai Fold Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Bluetooth Keyboard Folio Case
It’s not the idea of increasing your tablet’s bulk that is holding you back, rather it’s the high cost of the average keyboard case , am I right? The low-cost Cooper Kai Fold Bluetooth keyboard case not only reduces the strain on your wallet, but also your fingers, as the built-in silicone keyboard allows you to type more freely so you can increase your output at school or the office.
Pros
- Dust/spill-proof silicone keyboard
- Works with other Bluetooth enabled devices
- Very quiet typing keys
Cons
- Consumes a lot of space when open
- Long charging time (4-4.5 hours)
- Only one viewing display angle
- Silicone keyboard lacks touch-sensitivity
- Heavy and bulky
Overview
From the exterior, the Cooper Kai Fold looks and feels like any other PU leather keyboard case, it’s only once opened that a few ugly flaws can be noticed. The built-in keyboard has a noticeable lump in the middle that is caused by some bulging components underneath, and the fact that it is glued to the case-body may not bode well for extended use. The soft-touch silicone design is perfect for typing quietly in the boardroom, classroom or library, and the keys have squared, grooved edges to ease finger slippage. The material is also dust and water-resistant, so while in the employee breakroom or the cafeteria you can enjoy gaming, surfing the net and watching videos without any worry for loose food crumbs or drink spills.

This folio tablet case is designed with a bezel frame that holds the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 nice and secure inside. The magnetic cover seals shut to offer full-body protection against bumps, dings and scratches. While enclosed, you have clear access and use of all device controls and features, including its rear-facing camera. Although the design doubles to eat up a lot of desk/tabletop space (33cm/13” in depth), the cover fold also doubles as a nice wrist support. There is only one display angle, but the tablet rests very stable when touching the screen or typing on the QWERTY-style keyboard, which consists of 76 key and runs on a lithium battery that gives you up to 30 hours of uninterrupted use, with a charging time of 4-4.5 hours (USB charging cable included).

Editor's Rating
| Rating | Description |
|---|---|
| Design: N/A | |
| 3.5 | Functionality: The silicone keyboard has a smooth, quiet touch like the tablet’s screen, yet more pressure-sensitive like typing on lap/desktop PC. Although the design only provides one display angle, it has all the precise cutouts for the tablet to remain completely functional while encased. |
| 4.0 | Protection: The magnets in the cover are so strong that all I needed to do was simply push the flap toward the right direction and it attached firmly secure on its own. In addition to protecting against the bumps and dings of your commute, the PU leather and silicone materials are dust and spill-resistant. |
| 3.0 | Quality: The keyboard is glued to the case body, so I am concerned that heat and/or extended use can potentially cause it to peel and separate. All other aspects of the Cooper Kai Fold case suggest that it should prove quite durable for its intended application. |
| 3.5 | Value: The quality could be a lot better, but not the already low $42.95 price for a keyboard case. |
| 3.5 | Overall: Okay Again, the quality lacks in some areas, but the Cooper Kai Fold is one of the better budget keyboard cases for increasing your productivity and easing your way into the tablet computer world. |

"Versatile keyboard case"
The quality of this case is decent considering the price. It doesn’t boast luxurious feel, but what else can you expect from a faux-leather case? However, its functionality is impeccable: the Bluetooth connection not only works perfectly with the Galaxy Tab, but I can also connect my Galaxy S III to it and enjoy full-size keyboard typing. The stand feature is great too – I can choose between several angles.
