Keyboard cases for tablets are made from a variety of materials, with each material having specific properties and advantages.

1. Plastic: Lightweight plastics such as polycarbonate or ABS are often used. These offer a cost-effective option and are still robust and protective.
2. PU leather (polyurethane): This material is often used for the outer cover of tablet keyboard cases. It simulates the look and feel of real leather, but is easier to care for and more resistant to moisture.
3. TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane): TPU is used for its flexibility and impact resistance. It offers additional protection against bumps and drops, which is particularly important to protect the tablet from damage.
4. Aluminum: Some high-quality keyboard cases use aluminum, which is known for its durability and elegance. Aluminum cases often offer excellent heat dissipation and shock-resistant properties.
5. Rubber: Rubber is used for internal protection and shock absorption. This material helps to absorb shocks and protects the tablet from accidental impacts.
6. Textiles: Some cases also incorporate textile materials such as nylon or fabric to add a touch of style and comfort. These can also help to prevent scratches.

The way you charge the keyboard in your tablet keyboard case depends heavily on the technical specifications of the specific model. Here are two common methods:

1. USB port: Many tablet keyboard cases have an integrated battery that is charged via a USB port. You can use an included USB cable to connect the case directly to a power source such as a computer, power bank or USB power adapter. Make sure to connect the cable correctly and follow the charging indicator on the case to monitor the charging status.
2. Wireless charging via Bluetooth: In some cases, the keyboard is connected to the tablet wirelessly via Bluetooth and draws its power either directly from the tablet or from an internal battery in the keyboard case. In this case, it is important to ensure that the Bluetooth connection between the keyboard and the tablet is established and remains active to ensure proper function and charging capability.

The DEQSTER keyboard cases are charged via a USB-C port and also have the fast charging function, which enables particularly fast charging.

Cleaning your keyboard case properly not only helps to maintain the material, but also to extend its service life. Here are the detailed steps:

1. Disconnect the power supply: Switch off all devices and disconnect the keyboard case from the power source if it is a wired model.
2. Tap off dust and crumbs: Carefully turn the keyboard case over and lightly tap the back to remove loose particles such as dust or crumbs. You can also use compressed air to clean hard-to-reach areas.
3. Removing detachable keys: If your keyboard case has detachable keys, remove them to clean between the keys. Pay attention to the order and position of the keys so that you can reattach them correctly later.
4. Prepare the cleaning solution: Mix a mild cleaning solution of warm water and a gentle detergent suitable for electronic devices. Avoid aggressive chemicals that could damage the material.
5. Cleaning the keys and surface: Dip a soft microfiber cloth into the cleaning solution, then wring it out well and gently wipe over the keys and surfaces of the keyboard case. Make sure that no moisture gets into the keyboard.
6. Cleaning the cracks and crevices: Use a soft brush, e.g. a brush with fine bristles, to remove dirt and dust from the crevices between the buttons. Make sure the brush is clean and dry.
7. Allow to dry: Allow the keyboard case to dry thoroughly before using it again. Make sure that no moisture gets into the keyboard mechanism to avoid possible damage.
8. Disinfection (optional): If you want additional disinfection, use disinfectant wipes or a cloth dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Note, however, that excessive use of alcohol can damage the material.

1. Check compatibility: Make sure that the keyboard case is suitable for your specific tablet model. Most cases are designed for specific tablet models to ensure an optimal fit and functionality.
2. Remove existing cover or sleeve: If you are already using a protective cover or sleeve for your tablet, remove it to make room for the keyboard case.
3. Place the tablet in the case: Open the keyboard case and carefully position your tablet in the holder or attachment provided. Make sure that all ports, buttons and cameras are freely accessible and that the tablet is securely in place.
4. Connect the Bluetooth keyboard (if required): If the keyboard case contains a wireless Bluetooth keyboard, turn on the keyboard and make sure it is in pairing mode. Go to the Bluetooth settings on your tablet, search for available devices and select the keyboard case. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Securely fasten the tablet: Check that the tablet is securely fastened in the case and that there are no wobbly or loose parts. Make sure that the holders or clamps hold the tablet securely without damaging it.
6. Check the alignment: Make sure that the tablet is aligned correctly so that the Bluetooth keyboard keys are positioned correctly above the tablet keys. This ensures smooth operation.
7. Test the functions: Press a few keys on the Bluetooth keyboard to make sure the connection is stable and keystrokes are recognized properly. Also try out functions such as brightness control, volume control and other special keys, if available.
8. Attaching additional protective features: If the keyboard case offers additional protective features such as a flip cover or stand functions, check their functionality and attach them according to the manufacturer's instructions.
9. Read the operating instructions: Read the operating instructions for the keyboard case carefully to understand all the functions and possible settings. This will ensure that you utilize the full potential of the case.

1. Sleep mode (Sleep):
   • If the tablet is inactive for a certain period of time, it goes into sleep mode.
   • During sleep mode, non-essential processes are shut down to minimize energy consumption.
   • The screen is switched off and the device consumes less energy.
2. Wake-up mode (Wake):
   • Wake-up mode is activated when you want to use the tablet again.
   • Touching the screen, pressing a button or opening the tablet cover wakes the device from sleep mode.
   • The tablet quickly returns to normal operating mode and the screen is activated.
3. Energy efficiency:
   • The "Sleep/Wake" function makes a significant contribution to energy efficiency, as the appliance does not consume energy unnecessarily when it is not in active use.
   • This is particularly important for the battery life of mobile devices such as tablets.
4. Customizable settings:
   • In your tablet's settings, you can often set the period of time after which the device switches to sleep mode.
   • Some tablets also allow the adjustment of additional energy settings in connection with the "Sleep/Wake" function.

The DEQSTER keyboard covers support this practical function and thus ensure more efficiency and battery life when using your iPad!
