The Rugged Messenger is designed to give users total versatility when it comes to being productive on the go. Formidable layers of protection guard the iPad against impact damage, the contents of your backpack, and other hazards to provide you with total peace of mind from the table top to the parking lot. The Rugged Messenger meets the U.S. military standard (MIL-STD-810G-516.6) for shock and drop protection from up to 6.6 feet/2 meters.  

The rechargeable battery lasts up to two years between charges*, and a sleep/wake function helps preserve the battery when the keyboard is not in use. The Rugged Messenger also features multi-device pairing, or the ability to connect simultaneously to the iPad and one more device, like a smartphone, for the ultimate ability to be productive – anytime and anywhere.

The built-in stand also secures the iPad at multiple viewing angles for when you want to work or just catch up on your favorite shows, and the laptop-style keys provide a comfortable, natural typing experience. Backlit keys are available in seven colors and make typing easy in low-light conditions.

“The whole point of a portable device is the ability to get up and go,” said Charlie Quong, vice president, product development for ZAGG. “We designed the Rugged Messenger with durable protection for when you call ‘work’ the office, the gym, or the beach, and with enough versatility to quickly transition from keyboard to case modes for any work style. As mobility allows us to be productive wherever and whenever we want, the Rugged Messenger is the perfect productivity tool.”
