If you write emails, notes, create documents on the iPad mini (1, 2), a keyboard improves the experience vastly as opposed to tapping on the screen. iPad mini 2 keyboard cases are dual purpose: they serve as a good Bluetooth keyboard, and they protect your iPad. Even more importantly, each of these is designed to be a good stand for the iPad mini 2 so it’s easy to type and work on the iPad mini.
The market is quite inundated with a lot of knock-offs and low-quality iPad mini 2 keyboard cases. What matters is not just the keyboard’s quality but the backup(battery), the overall design, the case cover and its quality. Most keyboards have the Apple layout (Mac) and come with enough buttons to make interacting with the iPad mini (retina) very easy. We picked a few iPad Mini 2 Bluetooth keyboard cases/covers. Check it out:
- The Numa Compact 2x is a hybrid, so it’s great as a MIDI controller but it also has some amazing onboard sounds so you can use it without a computer. Admittedly, for this reason, it may not be in everyone’s top 10 list but it shouldn’t be discounted just because it’s not only a MIDI keyboard.

Polyhedra has introduced FormKey, a new App that turns your iOS device into an isomorphic MIDI controller. ‘Isomorphic’ controllers are designed so that scales and chords use the same shapes in any key. So, instead of learning and practicing scales in twelve keys, with twelve different fingerings, you only have to learn one. Hexagonal isomorphic keyboards have been around for at least 100 years and are common on instruments like the concertina.
