I recently started using the Zagg Profolio+ case for my iPad, and I wanted to share some thought.
I REALLY REALLY love the keyboard. The Shift keys are in the correct places. The arrow keys are situated nicely. The row of iOS function keys is very convenient.
The battery life is amazing (as advertised). I have been using it for 9 hours per day for the last 4 days of work, and I am still in the 90% range. I love the fact that you can tell the battery life from the "battery" button. Certain blinks of certain colors provide more than the standard red warning light I have seen on other keyboard I used in the past.
The case as a whole is very slim. MUCH moreso than the normal Zaggfolio case. It is extremely light as well.
I also like the faux-leather-looking rubbery material that coat the outside of the case. It keeps the case from sliding around while I am typing on my lap or on a smooth desk.
The backlit keyboards are very convenient. I never thought much about backlit keyboards for the ipad before using this case. Now, I don't think I would want another case that didn't have this option. Typing in bed at night with the light off (while the significant other is sleeping) is finally doable without having the screen at maximum brightness.
For the past few weeks, I have been looking for a keyboard to allow me to leave my massive, heavy MPB 15" in my office at work. After trying the ultra-thin and the Zaggfolio and the apple wireless in an origami, I wasn't satisfied with any ipad keyboard. I was almost tempted to buy a Surface R/T to use office on the go. I really really love the TypeCover for the Surface. I really think that the Zagg Profolio is the closest thing to the Type Cover for the ipad at this time. Now if we can only get Apple to give us mouse support in iOS 7, I will be able to use my ipad for 95% of my computing needs.
If anyone else has any experience (good and bad) with the Zagg Profolio+, please let us know about it.

I'll post pics tomorrow afternoon.
