QuestionDoes the keyboard detach and is the ipad protected in a case
Asked 4 years ago by Cookie.
- Answer The keyboard doesn't detatch, but you can swing it around and fold it down behind the ipad to use it like just a tablet. The ipad itself is protected in a plastic case that is attached to the keyboard. It folds closed like a laptop and protects the ipad. Also the ipad can be popped out of the case easily if needed. I love it!

QuestionLove this keyboard but had to return it because the back and forward buttons never worked. Reordered a second one which has the same problem. Is this a manufacturing defect? Apparently no troubleshooting for this I was told just return it.
Asked 2 years ago by Lapin.
- Answer Hello, sorry about the issues that you have been having with the VersaType. Let me see if we are able to assist. There are two things that we can try. First please go to settings>Accessibility>Keyboards>Full Keyboard Access and it on. You may also while there want to check that things like Show Lowercase Keys is also turned on. If that does not help it could be something with the mapping of the keys to fix that go to settings>general>Keyboard>Hardware Keyboard and tap over at the right edge. There check to be sure that it is not set to Automatic. If it is you will want to change it to US or ABC most likely. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. We can be reached at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM to 7 PM EST.

QuestionWill the keyboard interface to the iPad with the iPad not in the case? (Is the connection wireless, bluetooth, or a mechanical connection?)
Asked 3 years ago by Chuck.
- Answer The great thing about this keyboard case is that there is nothing that needs to be attached to the iPad to get it working. Just pair it via Bluetooth to the iPad and you are set to go. Like any other Bluetooth device do not wonder too far away of course, standard is around 33 feet for most devices. If you have any questions please contact our Customer Support Team at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM EST to 7 PM EST.

QuestionCan a mouse be used with the case; e.g., is there a port to connect one?
Asked 3 years ago by Mac.
- Answer Hi: Thanks for the response to my question. Since it was submitted, I've purchased a Bluetooth mouse. While the response that is does not connect to the case is correct, the mouse is recognized by the iPad and provides enough tracking (some delay and skipping) for use with it. Hence, the mouse and the keyboard does provide "functional" operation of the device as a mini-PC.
