RE: Logitech keyboard cover for the iPad, etc.
Hi I just purchased a keyboard cover very similar to it. However I'm not sure how to connect the cover to the iPad. How is this done. Also can you fold the iPad over the keyboard when you want to use it as the usual tablet. Thanks Debbie From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Elizabeth Campbell Sent: Thursday, 1 November 2012 1:56 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Logitech keyboard cover for the iPad, etc. Hello all, Sorry if this has been posted previously, but I wanted to mention that I use the Logitech ultrathin keyboard cover for the iPad,and I've been very happy with it. First, the keyboard is quite easy to use and has a comfortable feel wehn I am typing. I can use the onscreen keyboard pretty well, in fact, better than on the iPhone, but I like the bt keyboard for quickly typing emails, notes, and so forth. The battery life is quite good, as the documentation says the battery will last for six months based on using the iPad for two hours every day. There are two shortcomings involving the micro USB cable and the batttery indicator. First, the cable is approximately six inches long, so the keyboard has to be very close to your computer or to the outlet where the iPad charger is plugged in to charge the keyboard's battery. Also, there doesnt' seem to be an indicator on the iPad that notifies one of the battery status. The status bar across the top of the screen shows bluetooth connected but no battery indicator. On another subject, Several have talked about using the Pages program. I haven't gotten that app, but I plan to do so. In the meantime, I am using a free app called IA Writer. I'm still experimenting with it, but it works well with VoiceOver and can be used in conjunction with Dropbox and iCloud. Files can also be stored on your IOS device. Files can be exported as plain text, email attachments or sent to a printer. I wrote a short test file and sent it to my work email. It worked like a charm,and when I checked, there was the attached file in plain text format. There is also a way of sending a formatted file, but I haven't tried that option yet. I also believe that IA Writer has a spell checker, but I haven't ben able to find it. Anyway, I am continuing to experiment with the iPad and apps,and am enjoying it very much.

Re: Logitech keyboard cover for the iPad, etc.
That is not true. The Jawbone earphones will report the battery status. From what I understand it depends more on what the device communicates to the iOS device will determine if the battery status is shown.

RE: Logitech keyboard cover for the iPad, etc.
Hi, I don't think this is accurate. My Plantronics Voyager Pro HD headset's battery level is shown on my iPhone's status bar. I believe there are a couple of other BT headsets that do so as well.

RE: Logitech keyboard cover for the iPad, etc.
Perhaps it only does it with headsets, and not bt keyboards. I suppose it does also depend on what information is communicated to IOS from the device.
