The UAG Rugged Bluetooth Keyboard with Trackpad is designed for durability and performance. With a non-slip exterior that withstands 8-foot drops, it provides reliable protection. The backlit keys offer a laptop-like typing experience, and multi-touch trackpad supports gestures like swiping and pinching. The adjustable magnetic stand provides four viewing angles, and the rechargeable battery lasts up to 6 months. Plus, it includes a slot for the Apple Pencil. The hardware configuration is fairly simple.

Overall Grade: 76 (C+)

The UAG Rugged Bluetooth Keyboard with Trackpad is a convenient accessory for iPad users, but it has its limitations. The keyboard is rather small, and the trackpad does not move as fluidly as one might like. Overall, I give the product a C+.

• Very fluid and easy setup for your device.

Actual Use Case: 2.6/5

• Works fine, but the trackpad lags, and the keyboard is smaller than preferred.
