Expensive
Doesn't turn on and off automatically
Speakers disappoint
Speakers are just OK

The built-in speakers don't sound very good
And the metal construction means it adds to the weight of your iPad

Multiple viewing angles, Sturdy aluminum construction, Adds more weight over a plastic keyboard case.
Speakers are just OK, iPad battery life suffered
The BrydgeAir brings more functionality to the iPad than other keyboards in this category. The speakers sound OK, but not great. The backlit keys are an appreciated feature, as is the sturdy hinge and multiple viewing angles. Battery life takes a bit of ...
There are dozens of add-on keyboards for the iPad Air that try to turn this tablet into a ultralight laptop, but none that we have tested comes closer than the BrydgeAir. The built-in speakers are an important part of this, but the whole design of this de...

The built-in speakers don't sound very good, and the metal construction means it adds to the weight of your iPad
The second version of Brydge's keyboard makes for an impressive accessory to the iPad Air series. If you're none too impressed with plastic alternatives, look no further....
