Even though I'm returning the Typecase Touch, the product deserves asubstantial
review. I am a professional over-the-road Tour Guide/Director. I travel ex?
a full-size motor coach with a driver and 40-50 guests. My iPad is mygo-to for most
of what I do on my Mac Mini at home: Accounting, email, extensive destination
information, and a vast Kindle library. I use it to play music and videosthrough the
coach's A/V system. I photograph my guests enjoying their vacation adctivities and
distribute the photos to them during and after the trip. I have an after-market
silicone protective case, a standard Apple snap-on keyboard, and a mouse.
Typecase attracted me for extra protection and, most importantly, the touc
wanted more of a laptop experience. First, the pluses: It is a solid, substantial
product, packaged beautifully, with a power cord, but ready-charged right
the box. The rotating hinge is durable, and swiveling is firm yet converhient. The
Bluetooth keyboard paired instantly and works well. The keys have almost a
feel. Swipe gestures worked well and consistently. The case offers heavy-d
:
protection. Now, the minuses: The trade-off for protection is considerable
The Typecase more than doubles the weight of my iPad. I carry it a lotEven so, it
would be an acceptable trade-off, except that the touchpad is not a comput
device.
