I love writing on my iPad (I’m doing it right now), but anything longer than a two-sentence email reply takes too long to tap out on the software keyboard. I’ve been a slave to my Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Case, but the Brydge aims to be more Apple-like. It’s made of aluminum to match the iPad’s construction, and the strong, sturdy hinge can hold the iPad at nearly any viewing angle — it opens to almost 180 degrees. So if you’re tall, for example, and the limited angles of most iPad keyboard cases don’t work for you, the Brydge is a great alternative. The keys have more space between them than the Logitech Ultrathin’s, so they’re smaller overall. My fingers felt a little cramped at first, leading to more typing errors until I got used to the tighter spacing.
