Universa l keyboard

1 We would normally recommend keyboard cases but the Universal Mobile Keyboard (with a detachable dock) feels just as useful. It’s fairly slim and has a nice rubberised coating, so throwing it in a bag alongside your iPad (or iPhone) does no harm to it all. The dock element has two heights of groove that an iOS device slots into, giving you two different viewing angles. The dock looks flimsy but feels sturdy, although typing isn’t that comfortable. The dock also acts as the cover for the keyboard, which turns the keyboard on or off as well. Christian Hall A handy detachable dock and multiplatform appeal, but there’s better typing action to be found elsewhere.
