My touchfire keyboard is not staying attached to my ipad 2? Were there supposed to be magnets included to attach?

The magnets are to be attached to the cover, this way they will 'pick-up' the keyboard, but they don't stick very well I've found.

Your iPad is shielded from magnetic fields. There are some phone mounts that use a magnet directly on the phones. YMMV.

Yes iPad 2 and later have the magnetic shutoff. I think you can disable it but I'm not certain.

So far, my iPad reattaches securely. I've only had the keyboard folio case for a little over a month now, so I can't comment on the keyboard case long-term.

The keyboard becomes a case. It does that tricky magnetic thing against the edge of the iPad and closes like a book. That being said, it is still just a magnet so you have to be careful but so far it has worked great for me.

Robin -- With the keyboard attached there is a snap closure; without it, nothing keeps it closed other than the cover's weight. I have not found this to be a problem using my Asus tablet only. --- John

Re: FabricSkin Keyboard Folio for iPad Air - Doesn't work with Air 2? Options &#8206;11-09-2014 07:01 PM For the IPad Air 2, if you put a small magnet just above the number 1 key, it will turn on the keyboard. Then you can pair with it. Apparently, the magnet placement on the IPad Air 2 is different. Re: FabricSkin Keyboard Folio for iPad Air - Doesn't work with Air 2? [ Edited ] Options &#8206;11-10-2014 04:04 AM - edited &#8206;11-10-2014 04:21 AM KYSK, Thanks so much for your comment. I tried a credit card size magnet first, evidently not strong enough to turn on the keyboard. The second magnet (refrigerator magnet) turned the keyboard on instantly. I was able to use the keyboard for the first time this morning after trying a couple of magnets. Now to find the right size magnet setup for a permanent fix. Do you have any ideas on a magnet for a permanent fix?? jon EDIT...the magnet on a chip clip(used to keep open bag of potato chips closed and attach to refrigerator so you dont lose them) is strong enough. about 1/4 inch thick and the size of a dime. It can be attached on either the front or back of folio near the 1 key and stay connected. Looking for a better solution... http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Keyboards-and-Keyboard-Mice/FabricSkin-Keyboard-Folio-for-iPad-Air-Doesn-t-work-with-Air-2/m-p/1333933#M48980

Yes it attaches by magnets so its easily removed and reattached. The magnets are stronger than you think to, so the keyboard won't fall off.

The keyboard serves as a case as well. It is a magnet that attaches to your iPad Air. Cannot attach any other case to it.

I, too, purchased an aluminum keyboard for my iPad. I have not had any problems with it so I do not know why you are having this problem. Have you tried to reset the device?

I have never had a problem with that even when the ipad is in my purse. Is the magnetic part (that connects the keyboard to the ipad when closed) working? When you close it, just make sure the Home key is on the right. Other than that, I'm not sure what the problem might be.

No, not in my case (ah situation no pun intended)...my opinion is based on the fact I got a ZAGG case for my wife's iPad and its working just fine...BUT my MINI case keys stick and I can't use it anymore... so its sitting on my shelf waiting for me to junk it or send it back to the factory...yes I admit to laziness, but why are the keys sticking? Did I drop it or did I

My keyboard is attached and can not be removed from case. Also the holes in the case for the bottons on the tablet are not exactly lined up and some buttons are harder to get to.

The "case" is attached to the keyboard. It's not separate. You simply snap your IPAD into the case. I hope I explained it clearly. I really enjoy the keyboard. However, the keys are very sensitive at times. Happy Holidays.

The keyboard magnetically attaches to the inside of the case. One side of cover of the case holds the tablet and the other holds the keyboard. So removing the keyboard leaves the cover intact. Since the attachment is magnetic, its very easy to take it off and you are left with a full cover. Hope this helps.

I have a fairly thick silicon skin on my iPad and they don't work with it. To be honest I don't put them together to use the keyboard. I'll type with the keyboard and walk around leaving my iPad on a table. I also will sit at a table typing and prop my iPad where I can see it. I enjoy having the flexibility. I was kind of annoyed about it at first but it doesn't bother me.

I dont know anything about the Touchfire keyboard. The TacType is simply a plastic overlay. It goes on top of the virtural keyboard that pops up in an iPad. I believe the idea was to provide a tactile experience akin to typing on a keyboard. It sticks on with an adhesive. I threw it away, highly dissatisfied. For 10$ more I bought a Logitec keyboard for 30 dollars from a seller here on Amazon.
