Overview

This keyboard case from Cooper is a folio-sytle design made of PU leather with a natural grain look and feel. A faux-leather frame on the inside holds the iPad Mini firm and secure while leaving clear access to all controls and features, including its rear-facing camera. The Cooper Wireless Keyboard Folio features a built-in Bluetooth keyboard made of dust- and water-proof silicon material. Potential users should note that this is a QWERTY style format, so perhaps not appropriate for non-native English speakers. The layout consists of 78 total keys which includes 12 short-cut keys dedicated to iPad Mini function. Recharging time is a quite long (4-4.5 hours), but the battery can last up to approximately 45 hours between charges (USB charging cable included).
