Great thread—got my ZAGGmate w/ keyboard last week and love the idea of it, but haven't been able to get the Bluetooth connection to reactivate properly once it disconnects. Since this forum was one of the first places I found any mention of this and tips to resolve it, I thought I'd check in here and see if anyone could help.
My iPad is running version 4.2.1 of the iOS firmware, so I don't think that's the issue. I've tried "forgetting" and re-pairing the device a few times, but once the connection is lost (if I turn off either device, or if it's broken any other way), the iPad does not automatically reconnect when both devices are powered. The iPad and the keyboard also cannot manually be reconnected in the Bluetooth preference panel—it can't find the ZAGGmate again, so it has to be "forgotten" and re-paired. Power cycling and even hard resetting the iPad has no effect on the issue.
Any ideas/similar experiences? Thanks for any help you can offer!
