@grobbins the 4 is slightly larger than the 1-3. Since its a compression fit to hold the ipad mini in the case I do not think you can make a mini 4 fit and stay in the case.
Christ- I already have several Ipad mini cases with keyboards. So WHY did I just buy one of these? GAAAH! sliced-prominent-rod is a very nasty sounding order number. Ain't no damn way I'm Googling that.
Kids really do love to bang on them - my wife took all the old bluetooth keyboards to the preschool she teaches at, and the kids often fight over them.
Been driving on American and European roads for 38 years. I'm guessing I've been inside 1,000 cars. never once have I put gloves in a glove box, nor opened said box to find gloves.
@MehnofLaMehncha the first "keyboard" was conceptualized by Leonardo da Vinci in 1499. Plastic had not yet been invented so he specified a pine "board".

as always Bluetooth is universal so this keyboard will work work anything even android phones, android tablets, and Windows computers with Bluetooth adapters
I have VMP and have been looking to get a bluetooth keyboard for my tablet and phone. I don't have an iPad Mini but I plan to just cut off the case part. Good deal for those with VMP, but. I'm not sure I would spring for it otherwise.
It reads as Bluetooth 3.0. Does this mean it'll snooze after 10 seconds like the other three different brands of Bluetooth 3.0 keyboards I've foolishly bought?
@Zyla it is art. If I lived nearby I'd steer clear of the spot on the ground underneath that. Dog owners everywhere steer their dogs to that spot, just behind the bars.
smooth jazz plays in the background Maybe I'd start buying keyboards off Meh if they offered mechanical ones... MX clear switches or MX greens or something like that... you realize the smooth jazz is quietly whispering a subliminal message sell the good shit
Not sure it will work with my Nexus tablet or not but in it to win it for 3 bucks can't go wrong. And hubby doesn't seem to care as long as it's a 10 dollar or less deal. VMP finally paid off on this one. Swear I only keep it for the Tuesday deals.
In for 3. I need something for easier shortcuts for 3D work on my Surface. A small bluetooth keyboard is perfect for that, and 3 because I like having extras of things.
I have this horrible feeling, even though I own an iPad mini, I just bought one of these because of the cheapness and I will never use it. What have I done?
I wonder if these are hackalicious... there's a rechargeable battery, I'm assuming LiPo, there must be a charge controller for the battery as well. Plus, of course, the BT keyboard electronics. You can rip off the buttons and just keep the circuit board (Okay, maybe I'm assuming too much here) and solder it into an old SNES controller for retro games... Curse you, Meh(th)! In for two. I'm a-gonna cut 'em open.
ooh, I'm in the Cook Islands! acceptable-incidental-thumb
@PocketBrain Received; one has a swollen LiPo. Guess which one I'm tearing down? The other one works, but annoyingly there is a Delete key which really is Backspace on the PC. I wonder what all these other keys do?
I'm selling Bluetooth disappearing ink. This shit is amazing. It works so good! Damm, there it goes again. It disappears while I'm putting it in the ink well. This is 4.0 blue tooth, twice as good as 2.0. I do not guarantee it will not disappear during shipping. Shit happens.
Price $1, you heard write! 100¢, 1 single Washington. If you've been waiting for something to fit in your budget, the wait is over! Your wife/husband will not shit if you buy it.

Spare keyboard for a computer is a nice sales pitch, and I almost fell for it. But the keyboard has no F-keys, so there's no way to get into the BIOS or boot menu.
For 3 bucks, WTF. In for 2. virtuous-affordable-discovery A keyboard that I most likely will never use, a semi case for the iPad2 I use to read with. And another for the spouses iPad.
Congrats on the sellout, even if you took a bluetooth bath in the process. I didn't bite, as I have at LEAST two other BT keyboard cases from other sales that are still in their boxes. But $3 was a pretty attractive pricepoint.
Was going to spring for it but looked over and saw the Ipad Mini case and keyboard still in the box I purchased on the last round and thought meh. I hope you are really sold out. 9 days until my VMP becomes profit for meh with no purchase for me....
When your infant won't sleep at 4am, these are the types of things you buy. "Perhaps throwing $3 somewhere would make baby sleepy," I thought. Well I'm here to tell you, it works. No longer "Shh, shh, shhhhh"; it's now: "Meh, Meh, Mehhhhhh".
eclectic-maroon-leather yields much tamer results than I would have thought. Don't think I'll be trying without safe-search while at work!
I was almost asleep so I grabbed a couple. Why does it feel like a good decision when they sell out, regardless of whether or not I needed them? evil-morbid-mulberry is so much nicer than some order names, too.
Wow, this sold out! I totally didnt want one, have gotten bt kbs for tablets etc before, and they are usually crap and dont get used. For that matter, my tablets usually just sit there looking pretty and dont get used either.
However, i didnt want them to sellout, i didnt want them to sell any. I thought it would be funny if meh were stuck with them forever.
Just got my three today. They look pretty good. Although the worst part was the wife found the box before I did. "Why do you keep buying this crap?" :(
@gangerolv I also had a bulging battery that was dead; I charged it in a safe place (out back, on the concrete porch) while watching it; interestingly, once it charged, it shrunk back down. Your mileage may vary. Apparently, there isn't very sophisticated circuitry governing battery charge level, so if it runs out of juice, nothing stops it from continuing to discharge. Normally, I would warn against trying to charge and use a Lithium-ion battery that was overdischarged, but this one is so small. Just be sure to do it outside on a dry day, in the shade, with plenty of area cleared around it and a dry chemical fire extinguisher standing by. I had all that.
Or, like @Thumperchick says, exercise your warranty rights and don't use it. Yeah, that should be my official recommendation.
@PocketBrain Also, it was three bucks... I really only purchased for the opportunity to hack the thing. It's going inside of an old arcade joystick I own and will be fitted with a new, larger battery in my case.

The new meh locations' walls must be built of bluetooth keyboard cases.
Hella Cheap!
If it were for a full-sized iPad I'd take 2 - we don't have a mini :(
@opivp99 They had a nice Belkin one a few weeks back.
@radi0j0hn don't know how I missed it!
Meh.
So is this definitely not for an iPad mini 4? Maybe if I shave down the edges or something?
@grobbins the 4 is slightly larger than the 1-3. Since its a compression fit to hold the ipad mini in the case I do not think you can make a mini 4 fit and stay in the case.
@mlapaglia Well, unless by "shave down the edges" @grobbins means to shave down the edges of his iPad mini 4.
@OutbackJon good point. :)
3 minutes of server errors for this? meh.
With VMP, very impulsy. Without, forget it.
Luckily I already sprang for the Tooth is Blue Shower Speaker.
The return of bluetooth keyboards to Meh!!
Sorry, I got a maxi, not a mini....
Christ- I already have several Ipad mini cases with keyboards. So WHY did I just buy one of these? GAAAH! sliced-prominent-rod is a very nasty sounding order number. Ain't no damn way I'm Googling that.
@Pony The rear end of the order number does sound nasty, but the front end is strongly cringe inducing
In case u need a keyboard
@AttyVette Just In Case
How many come in a case?
@AttyVette Doesn't seem like your type
@AttyVette A bit board tonight, are we? Glad to see someone's on the case.
With VMP= Good Deal
Without VMP=Meh
I don't have an iPad mini. And if this is like the other case, the rubber keys suck.
But it's $3. And I did renew my VMP a few days ago ...
3 of them, excited-bustling-toe
Kids really do love to bang on them - my wife took all the old bluetooth keyboards to the preschool she teaches at, and the kids often fight over them.
Keyboard is one of those words like glove box. Everyone knows what it means. But, really, was that the best they could come up with?
Been driving on American and European roads for 38 years. I'm guessing I've been inside 1,000 cars. never once have I put gloves in a glove box, nor opened said box to find gloves.
"I got all of these keys ... no idea where to put them. What? Where? On that board? Great idea ... but what will we call it?"
@MehnofLaMehncha
@MehnofLaMehncha the first "keyboard" was conceptualized by Leonardo da Vinci in 1499. Plastic had not yet been invented so he specified a pine "board".
@MehnofLaMehncha I'm gonna bet you don't have a breadbox in your kitchen.
@thismyusername I clicked on the keys hoping they would make sounds. Disappoint.
It says Baby arm not included. I'm guessing that we get that ring instead. It prolly makes this a bargain.
Bought one back in October. It never worked and the company never responded to emails about the warranty. Good thing it was only $3

sell the good shit
I bought 2 I have not even got my IPad Mini 3 yet ordered it but waiting to get it the price was so low I could not pass this up great deal MEH!!!!

mocking-thievish-border
Three bucks seems worth a chance at a 'bath' or 'super-top-secret-Bluetooth-desperation-Fuku' for this VMP'r...
Sweet, I always wanted one of these for my iThing and for three bucks, heck yea.
@Ashkitty okay now that's disturbingly spot-on.
@PocketBrain Well of course, I cheated.
@Ashkitty I know, i just had to work the word disturbing in...

Spare keyboard for a computer is a nice sales pitch, and I almost fell for it. But the keyboard has no F-keys, so there's no way to get into the BIOS or boot menu.
Nope.
@blaineg I don't believe bluetooth would get you in the BIOS anyway cause it doesn't connect until you're in the OS...
For 3 bucks, WTF. In for 2. virtuous-affordable-discovery
A keyboard that I most likely will never use, a semi case for the iPad2 I use to read with. And another for the spouses iPad.
@olperfesser It's too small for the iPad 2 :-(
Buy this for the charger/case alone. The keyboard sucks harder than a brand-new Hoover.
Almost 1,700 of those buggers dumped in the sellout? Nicely done.
Good riddance. Although they seem to reproduce like bacteria at Ch*p*tle.
Congrats on the sellout, even if you took a bluetooth bath in the process. I didn't bite, as I have at LEAST two other BT keyboard cases from other sales that are still in their boxes. But $3 was a pretty attractive pricepoint.
3dollameh.com is gonna be huge.
Was going to spring for it but looked over and saw the Ipad Mini case and keyboard still in the box I purchased on the last round and thought meh. I hope you are really sold out. 9 days until my VMP becomes profit for meh with no purchase for me....
Can we step up the game a little?
When your infant won't sleep at 4am, these are the types of things you buy. "Perhaps throwing $3 somewhere would make baby sleepy," I thought. Well I'm here to tell you, it works. No longer "Shh, shh, shhhhh"; it's now: "Meh, Meh, Mehhhhhh".

Wow, this sold out! I totally didnt want one, have gotten bt kbs for tablets etc before, and they are usually crap and dont get used. For that matter, my tablets usually just sit there looking pretty and dont get used either.
However, i didnt want them to sellout, i didnt want them to sell any. I thought it would be funny if meh were stuck with them forever.
These would be way better if they could connect to other bluetooth devices.
Let's agree on one thing. If it sells out it means nothing.
Just got my three today. They look pretty good. Although the worst part was the wife found the box before I did. "Why do you keep buying this crap?" :(
@Strongman Well, why do you? I go around asking myself the same thing, and I don't get answers,
@OldCatLady I'm trying to fund my retirement by reselling some of the things on the site. So far I'm only down $30 bucks.
I got all excited today because I got a package from Meh I wasnt expecting! Then I opened it up and it was this thing....That I ordered.. Meh.
I had a keyboard that stopped working, one corner has bulged up, looks like it is where the battery is located. Anybody else had that problem?
@gangerolv you should hit up the warranty provider ASAP - you're only covered for a few more days.
Also - don't use that thing.
@Thumperchick Yes, but they want $5 for s/h and then there is the $6-7 shipping from my end. Hardly worth it.
@gangerolv I also had a bulging battery that was dead; I charged it in a safe place (out back, on the concrete porch) while watching it; interestingly, once it charged, it shrunk back down. Your mileage may vary. Apparently, there isn't very sophisticated circuitry governing battery charge level, so if it runs out of juice, nothing stops it from continuing to discharge.
