    My keyboard has been old faithful since May 2023. It is the end of July and after using it everyday in the medical field, taking notes for patients and providers, the RETURN key has popped off. I’m so sad because the price point was higher and I didn’t get the replacement warranty. I’m hopeful that the seller will see this message and generously send me a replacement. I can’t tell you the amount of good work this keyboard has done with regards to improving my note taking.

    I bought it hoping it was not as sensitive as my last one. Last one had so many shortcuts that pressure or no pressure would trigger the key pad. This key pad is simple with bigger keys that is easier on wrist and typing is accurate. No short cuts opening,
    no periods after each word. Keypad does highlight. Magnetic back is sturdy for sitting at recliner or at table. Connection was quick and easy.

    Really good build quality and responsive too. Easy to set up converting my IPadpro into a portable laptop at much less expense than the branded make. Maybe a little heavy but that does not detract from quality.

    This is an excellent keyboard case as it uses magnets to hold onto the ipad. This means that not only can you swivel your ipad should you wish, but you can also very easily detach it from the case and stick it back on too. The keyboard has plenty of battery life, and provides an easy way to type with your ipad. The case is a good thickness so gives good protection, but isn’t too heavy so it’s still portable!

    Overall, I think this is a great keyboard case and I’d recommend it!

    Better solution for the ipad keyboard. High quality and never had problem with it.
    Also the battery has long life.
    Recommended and I think it’s one of the best keyboards on the market.

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersFirst I’d like to say this is very sleek and nearly identical in terms of (appearance) to the Magic Keyboard. I purchased the pink, if I’m judging on aesthetic alone – I love it. However, if I’m being honest it will always be functionality > aesthetics any day. With that being said, this keyboard is either just a bad seed or they are all just manufactured faulty. I believe it was misleading as I purchased this for the backlight and glass trackpad. This does not have a glass trackpad but I will say it is easy to navigate nonetheless. The keys are smooth too and does not require excessive pressure. The product itself has a decent weight as well which is necessary to balance the weight of my iPad Pro 12.9 6th Gen. Upon unboxing I charged the case right away and read the manual. I left it for the 2hr recommendation charge time and the red indicator was still on after 2hours. It actually remains on and will not turn green as stated it would on manual – 1st annoyance. Then the keyboard; it never had any backlight, not from when I connected it via Bluetooth, not even after I charged it. Nothing at all. I reached out to the seller and explained everything above. There were multiple issues and I was unsure if there’s something I missed given I read the manual time and time again I was getting frustrated. The seller responded simply stating that there IS a backlight with (3) levels of brightness and the light will turn green once fully charged. I know what it’s *supposed* to do I read the manual time and time again so I’m aware but it’s not performing or fitting of the description at this point. It is pretty frustrating but I guess I’m just going to have to return it and I’m back hunting for a good keyboard. If the description matched the product this would be a home run for me. Unfortunately, this was not.

    ***UPDATE. The seller has informed me they are sending me a working keyboard. I have not received it yet but I will come back to update once I do! The seller was understanding after communicating my concerns. They sent the new one out 72hrs after my complaint, now I’m just waiting to receive. Update ***** NEW case works like a charm, seller had great communication! Definitely happy I reached out to fix the issue and it was handled swiftly.

    I have to admit to being pleasantly surprised with this keyboard!
    I already own the branded version of the iPad keyboard, and assumed that this would pale by comparison, but I can say that it is hard for me to know which case I have on my iPad between the two, because this is such good quality, and superb value for money. I have owned a number of alternative iPad keyboards before eventually buying Apples own. If I had bought this first, then I would not have needed to buy the branded version.
    The case is well made with soft touch plastics on the outside, and a felt type lining to the inner which holds the iPad magnetically inplace to prevent scuffing of the iPad s finish. The keyboard itself is on an aluminium base with plastic keys that are responsive and have a nice “feel” to them when typing. The trackpad is a good size and although not as pleasant a tactile feel to it as Apples it is precise and functions perfectly. Charging is via a USB C port on the left side, and a small on/off switch is there also. Connection to the iPad is via bluetooth which in my experience worked flawlessly. The keys are also backlight which is a very useful feature.
    The outer case is easy to clean with a wipe down from a damp cloth.
    Overall I am very impressed with this keyboard as is is well made, does everything the branded version does and is great value for money.

    Great value iPad keyboard.

    Having just reviewed the equivalent case for the iPad Mini, I did have some expectation of what this keyboard might be like. As with it’s little sibling, it came packaged in a very nice retail box and inside you also get a proprietary charging cable and instructions.

    The majority of the case is covered in what I call “liquid silicone”, meaning it feels really soft to the touch. Bar the inside of the front cover and the keyboard, that is what you get. The inside front cover has an alcantara look and feel to it and is also extremely soft. So it is not going to harm the back of your rather expensive iPad Pro in any way.

    What is really clever about this case is that stand mechanism, which dose turn your iPad into a laptop. It first angles the lower third of the front cover inwards, the part that is not attached to the iPad, and then angles the remainder straight up.. It is a clever design.

    The keys are full on laptop size. In fact I wools say they are bigger than the ones on my actual laptop. If I am honest here, I think I do prefer the key on that little sibling case, not quite sure why I just do. That’s just down to personal preference. It does have one major benefit though and that is the touchpad for a full on laptop like experience.

    As this is a magnetic case, there is no frame for the Pro to sit in and in some ways that it a good thing but is does significantly reduce the drop production offered. There is practically nothing in the way of corner bumper protection for those occasional drops and those screens are really expensive to replace, let alone the case itself

    The keyboards is nice and responsive and there is plenty of space to move around and for those with larger hands. It does have a slightly annoying space bar sound, something which I maybe particularly attuned to, as I’ve found that with quite a few keyboards I’ve tried.

    I have been sitting here using it to type this review and I have to say it is one of the best keyboard cases I have come across to date. Despite the fact I have a couple of minor concerns with it. The look and feel is premium and I love the hinge mechanism.

    Obviously, this is not a cheap keyboard case at 139.99 but when you compare it to what manufacturers like Apple and Samsung charge for theirs, it looks like a bargain.

    This really is a serious keyboard case for you iPad Pro and the overall look, feel and build quality is excellent.

    I hope you found this review & photos interesting, informative, and useful. Thanks for reading.

    Superb Case. Clever Mechanism."Liquid Silicone" Feel.

    A really nice quality item, very well made, feels good, looks good and comes in a nice box. It’s a nice weight, with the iPad attached the combined weight is about 2kg. For me that an ideal weight to be holding and it just makes it nice in that it’s secure and stable when using it, wether it’s on a table, your lap or on the bed. Everything tilts and moves nicely so wherever you are you get just the right angle for looking at the screen. Ive had it for about a month and I just totally used to it. It all just works well and a fraction of the original. There are others very similar maybe a hit cheaper but for me I’d rather pay the 10 -20 extra and have a solid quality item. I don’t think it’s necessary to list the specs as they are listed in the description by the manufacturer. For me it’s been about how I’ve enjoyed using it and I really like using it.

    Love i

    Well got to say its pretty well made but nothing super special like original one.

    It does work all okay and typing experience is pretty good, all keys feels decent

    Its sturdy enough and holds ipad snug without problem
    Its a good cheaper then original case but could be still cheape

    My review is based around the current selling price of 139.99 with 8 voucher available

    “Floating magnetic design keyboard case iPad Pro 12.9”

    Pros:
    Magnet is strong
    Looks and feels high quality
    Well made
    Strong and sturdy hinges
    Good level of adjustment
    Smooth operation

    Cons:
    No pass through charging creature.
    Manual Bluetooth pairing

    Summary:
    The price is more reasonable than its OEM equivalent but I think it just falls short, because you can’t charge the keyboard off the iPad or charge the iPad through the keyboard (even plugged in). Really decent alternative that falls short, and if I’m spending this kind of money then I’d go for the original for not much extra.

    This iPad keyboard/case looks and feels a high quality item when you take it out of its box, which itself is good quality.

    The outer material is a soft-touch plastic and the hinge is metal and feel well put together with no sloppiness. Offer the iPad up to the back of the case and it snaps into position with the use of magnets.

    The back is split into two parts, one quarter and three quarters with a hinge between them. The lower quarter opens to almost vertical position on the main hinge and then the upper three quarters that the iPad is attached to can be angled to suit your viewing position although doesn’t go back quite as far as i would like. This makes the iPad seemingly hang in mid air.

    In the base is a full sized keyboard with UK layout which was a relief. On the left is a USB-C charging port and an on/off switch. When switched on for the first time it has to be paired with the iPad via Bluetooth, which is quick. After than, when you switch it on it automatically connects to the iPad instantly.

    The keys have a nice touch to them with a good amount of travel and the trackpad works well, almost like using a laptop.

    It is a shame that it has to be charged separately rather than taking its power from the iPad but the extra cost of the original is a lot for that convenience. Other than that, there is nothing not to like about this keyboard case.

    I purchased a new iPad Pro 12.9″ this year to replace an old Generation one iPad Pro, the iPad has been working brilliantly but I do miss having a decent keyboard, as I did have the genuine Apple keyboard with my old iPad. I had intended to buy the Apple keyboard again for my new one but the price of the latest Apple keyboards was just way to expensive so when I saw this I thought it worth taking a chance at the price and I’m so glad that I did.
    On opening, this keyboard looks very well built with lovely clean mouldings and a contemporary appearance. The keyboard is made in the form of a protective case so it doubles up to do both jobs and fitting couldn’t be simpler. The iPad just grabs onto the back of this case magnetically and in the correct position every time so if the case needs removing for cleaning or just for convenience then reattaching it is very quick and easy.
    Once fitted, the case looks and acts pretty much the same as the genuine version, the iPad can be tilted to any angle for the best viewing experience just by positioning the back of the case to suit and the iPad looks as though it is floating above the keyboard.
    The actual case has a smooth feel to it and fully protects the front, back and sides of the expensive iPad Pro as well as keeping the dust away from the keys and screen.
    On the side of this case is a USB port for charging and a switch to power it on. When powered on and not used for a time it will go into sleep mode to preserve the life of the battery although I have found that the battery lasts for a very long time between charges. I don’t use mine all of the time but most days I do for a few hours and the battery has so far lasted almost a month.
    When using this device it feels just like using a MacBook, the keys are laid out exactly the same in a UK format and the trackpad is smooth and fast with the same tap and gestures as is on my MacBook Pro.
    On the actual keyboard part are LED indicators to show caps etc’ and the keys are all backlit making it just as easy to use at night as during the day.
    I had no problems at all in connecting the 2 units together which was instant and overtime I need to use it now, I just flick the switch and it’s ready to use without delay.
    This really is the perfect companion for the later iPad Pro’s and I wouldn’t now be without it. This works every bit as well as my old genuine apple one did with the added bonus of backlit keys and a trackpad but with a much lower price tag.
    Terrific device, well made and good value.

    This keyboard case by HOU is one of a kind and has seriously made my workflow so much easier since using! I have been using this keyboard case for a month now everyday for my university studies and I have yet to charge the case which is really great. The keyboard is super responsive and every key stroke responds instantly on the screen. The keyboard case has a wide range of flexibility and motion when folding it upright and even closing it. It is so smooth and ultra protective too! The hinge is very strong and withstands the weight of my iPad very well! I love the magnetic backing as it creates this professional and striking aura when I am working, it looks premium and not bulky like competitors here on amazon! The magnetic backing is very strong and my iPad doesn’t fall off or come loose in any capacity.

    I love the backlighting on the keyboard, it can get quite bright but it is still gentle on the eyes, very practical for those late night hard workers who enjoy a candle lit room but have an essay to crack on with. The track pad is a nice added feature that I haven’t seen yet on an iPad keyboard case. This works exactly as it would on a laptop and it is very responsive too. i love the addition of the USB charging port on the side, though do keep in mind that this will drain your case battery life really quickly. Overall, a 5 star product by HOU, would highly recommend and well worth the money for the quality and elegant aesthetics!

    Thank you for reading my honest review, I hope you found it helpful! 🙂

    The bluetooth keyboard with simple and stylish design is fully compatible with Ipad pro 12.9 5th generation. The design is quite nice. The positioning of the keys, the location of the bluetooth on and off button is good. It makes writing enjoyable. The place where you place the Ipad has a soft structure. It is not possible to scratch the ipad. I really like this soft texture. There is also a nice emblem there.

    The Bluetooth connected smoothly and quickly. The outer part of the keyboard is robust. It protects the Ipad against physical impacts. The texture of the outer side is made of soft plastic. The manufacturer has definitely used quality material. Ipad sticks to the keyboard with magnet technology. The magnet is really strong. Ipad stands firmly and stably.

    Battery life is quite good. I didn’t have to charge it for a very long time. The keyboard charges up using USB-C the same as the iPad so you don’t need a second cable.

    Negative side
    The keys of the keyboard could be made of a slightly softer material. This can change according to preference. I would like the keys to be made of soft plastic in the same way. It could be a material that would make less noise while typing.

    In general, I like this keyboard. I think it will give value for money.

    Nice design, long life battery, quality material

    This is clearly intended to be a rival for Apple’s “Magic” case, and it does a pretty good job.

    There are some differences – Apple’s case is automatically detected by the iPad, and connects on its own. This one requires Bluetooth pairing. Apple’s case is powered by the iPad, whereas this has a built-in battery, and charges via a USB-C connector. This also makes it heavier than the Apple case, but not massively so. The keys on this model have more travel and are slightly larger than on Apple’s version, but work very well. This case does not have specific provision for the Apple pencil.

    The other big difference, of course, is that this is less than half the price of the Apple device.

    All that said, this is a very good case in its own right. Everything works nicely, and it’s very pleasant to use, effectively turning your iPad into a laptop. The hinge is well-designed and it feels like a high quality product.

    The case is durable and a good thickness, without it making the whole thing too heavy and bulky. It offers very good protection for my iPad. It was very easy to clip my iPad into place securely.

    The included keyboard was the main reason I wanted this product, as I haven’t used one before with my iPad and the fact it is a keyboard and case combo was ideal for me.

    Battery life on the keyboard is good and it’s very responsive. All the keys are good quality and it’s just the right size for me. Not too large that it takes up a lot of room, but big enough to allow me to type just as quickly as I do on a standard keyboard.

    I am really impressed with this because I can now use my iPad in a whole new way compared to how I have been using it up until now.

    If the original/official option which this is mimicking is out of your price range and you want a cheaper option this is a pretty good compromise as has most of the same features and certainly all the most important ones for opening up the scope of how you use iPad and is worth the price as it has a very good weight and build to it and feels very solid. The magnetic hold is good, the pairing hasn’t caused any issues sop far and its really comfortable t use too so would recommend as very pleased with it.

    This is a nice piece, the velvet and
    Very nicely made throughout.
    As good and only cost less than half of the real deal.
    Design is slightly different, as the charging USB in on the keyboard, making is slight thicker and heavier ( by 100g ), but not a deal breaker.
    Good strong hold and supports wake/sleep upon open/close.
    It seems my iPad Air 4th Gen also working great on it.
    The slight lid up keyboard and lovely glass mouse also instantly transforms the iPad into a portable macbook – sort off, the gesture control also works a treat.
    Price is much reasonable for a great keyboard case.

    This does not quite match up to the Aple product it is aping, but it is half the price and you only lose a few features, namely charge-through, the non-Bluetooth detection, and function keys: Nevertheless, this is a quality keyboard/case in it’s own right, with a glass tracking bad and premium-feeling keys. It is a little weighty for what is supposedly a portable case, though.

    : Top Tip : Fully charge the keyboard for 2-3 hours when you use it for the first time.

    : Top Tip :If you need a seriously good review… you are in luck! I happened to have my serious face on for most of this one.

    : At 139.99, at the time of writing,

    This:

    : Keyboard Case for iPad Pro 12.9 2021 5th Generation and iPad Pro 12.9 4th/3rd Generation, Floating Magnetic Design, Builtin Trackpad and Bluetooth Keyboard with Backlight, Auto Sleep/Wake

    Is a pretty cool, seriously slick, professional piece of kit.
    But…
    Is that a good thing?
    Is it a good value thing?
    Are there many more of these annoying questions?
    Well, to try and find some answers, let’s pop on our snorkels and masks, find our flippers, and take a deep breath, as we go diving in the deep blue sea , to find those metaphors , locate those emojis , and hunt down every last wriggling joke , as we take a closer look…. …

    Packaging :
    It arrives in a lovely, shiny, professional, retail ready box.
    The level of packaging is not excessive, or profligate, and is just enough to keep the product safe, and out of the box in good condition.
    It makes a very good first impression.

    Recycling :
    Most of the packaging can be recycled, including the inner contents.

    Contents :
    Out of the box, and the contents are easily catalogued:
    1 x Keyboard Case for iPad Pro
    1 x USB-C Charging Cable
    1 x Instructions
    Fairly straightforward, and as expected.

    The water is lovely! Come on in…

    Build Quality :
    The Keyboard Case is fairly heavy as you pick it up.
    Reassuringly so.
    It certainly doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy.
    It’s build quality is excellent.
    The level of detail that has been applied to the finish of the product, makes this look a seriously good quality item.
    Let me put my very serious face on and try that again…
    It is a seriously good quality product, with seriously good build quality.
    Better?

    Set Up :
    Hooking it up was easy.
    Pairing takes seconds.
    The keyboard springs into life upon pairing, using the magnetic attachment on the left of the keyboard.

    Performance :
    Docking is natural and smooth, protected from bumps and scratches by velvety padding.
    It magnetically attaches to your iPad, should you wish to do so, but you can just as easily use it unattached.

    The keyboard is nice to use.
    Great quality.
    It types well, naturally, and it’s not too hard to press the keys, giving a nice, smooth action.
    The touchpad is excellent.
    Not too sensitive or jumpy, as some can be, but professional quality, and smooth as butter.

    Quick… catch that metaphor….

    Typing at speed is perfectly acceptable, and it never misses a beat, keeping up with even the quickest input, or finest adjustments.
    The keys have a natural click to them… just right.

    You can use this keyboard as a carrying case, which protects your iPad really well, giving excellent all round drop proof, shockproof and bump proof insurance. It’s excellent.

    I think I saw a joke over there…

    Down Sides :
    No downsides were noted during testing.
    It does not have a pass through power USB port on the hinge, like the official version (), so if you really need this feature, you will have to look elsewhere.
    For me, it is not a dealbreaker, and I am quite happy to live without it.

    Value :
    Value wise, it feels like this delivers the goods.
    In spades.
    The seriously (I had my serious face on already… Don’t worry…) quality you get with this, makes it a good buy.
    I would even go as far as saying it is a seriously good buy.
    I would happily pay the asking price.

    Summary :
    Overall, it’s a very impressive piece of hardware.
    Its looks are stylish.
    Its design is terrific.
    Its performance is excellent.
    The price is excellent too, being very competitive, and you feel you get a lot for your money .
    You are left with a distinct feeling that your money was well spent, and the keyboard is of such good quality, that it’s a great buy.

    Recommendation :
    I do not hesitate to recommend it highly.

    Time to dry off…

    I hope you enjoyed our time together .
    Thank you for reading my review .

    Absolutely fantastic keyboard and mouse tracker. Comes very well packaged and looks and feel stylish.
    Setting up was such a breeze and the iPad snaps into place well. Spent a good few hours with it now and so impressed with the build quality and functions of this.

    Hou’s Keyboard Case for the iPad Pro 12.9″ is a Bluetooth keyboard case for your iPad. It pairs to your iPad easily; and once that is done you gain a mouse cursor and a physical keyboard to use with the iPad.

    The design of the case is magic (wink); using the magnets in the iPad it attaches to the tilt adjusting vertical plate. The vertical adjustment places the monitor partly over the keyboard; but does make it very easy to see the screen. The hinge is very sturdy; and holds the monitor at the angle you choose — the photos show the maximum angle you can achieve. The magnetic attachment means when you want to use your iPad as a tablet again you can just pull it off.

    The keys have a good press action and a feint backlight. It is a nice keyboard to work on; and the Bluetooth doesn’t lag significantly. The keyboard doesn’t have any media keys (or function keys), and this cost it the star as I find those very useful on the previous iPad keyboard I was using. The keyboard charges up using USB-C the same as the iPad so you don’t need a second cable. The battery doesn’t charge the iPad; it lasts a good amount of time; I haven’t managed to drain the battery over a few days of adhoc use and two hours on the train.

    This case with the iPad in it feels heavy; this makes it steady on a table, but you feel it in your backpack. That said its much nicer to use as a laptop than the case I was using before which had a kickstand design. Not having a thin strip digging into my leg is a win.

    Its 4* because I would prefer the keyboard had media keys

    When it comes to a functional and premium-feeling keyboard, this is up there with Logitech’s version. Firstly, I love how the keyboard just magnetically comes off and attaches, It’s so convenient and I sometimes use it as a base when I have the iPad propped up on my lap. It is very versatile in every way. You have free room to swivel the case open and find the perfect viewing angle, it’s rather stable.

    It has raised keys that have the most satisfying feeling, texture and sound when typing on them. I can touch type just as well as I could on my MacBook. It is great for document typing. The back-lit keys look really nice, it makes typing at night much easier. As mentioned the magnet is rather strong a holds your iPad efficiently.

    Even with vigorous shaking, it doesn’t seem to budge. The only thing I found disappointing was, I like to use my Apple Pencil a lot when handwriting in note apps, and unfortunately this case does not fold flat to hold your iPad in a note-book writing position. But this wasn’t the main concern for me.

    The build does have a bit of weight to it with the iPad on, but I’m not complaining as this indicates the use of good materials and overall craftsmanship. The overall durability and premium feel are good. The wireless Bluetooth keyboard and the touchpad work well with the iPad. The Bluetooth connects almost instantly and wakes rather fast, saving you battery life. This case makes an already good iPad into a fully functioning laptop, adapting to the needs of different scenarios. The quality of the material is excellent. Can’t recommend it enough!

    Hope this review helps.

    This reminds me of the official Keybaord case which Apple themselves sell but without the logo and at a much more affordable price. The iPad itself connects and holds to the stand perfectly feels to be a very high quality and and has all the same features when comparing to my official one I have too. The stand holds firm at the perfect angle for your preferred use and then the keyboard has lovely soft touch keys and a touchpad which work amazingly and pick up on the iPad instantly too. Gives you a much more professional look if using on the go and also makes things easier for typing and use! The package arrived nicely and is set at a good price. I can’t complain at all for what I got 🙂

    Nicely presented in a box, there is a sponge section sandwiched for protection and polythene sleeve.
    The keyboard case arrives unmarked.
    The case has the same feel to it that the original Apple magic keyboard has.
    The very tactile outer casing is rubberised.
    The inner casing has a nice felt finish that will not mark your iPad.
    In the centre of the felt there is a small logo.
    Behind this the magnet that holds the iPad in place does not quite feel as strong as a genuine Apple but nonetheless does the job of keeping the iPad in place.
    Particularly as the top section angles exactly like the Apple one.
    Inside, the UK keyboard keys have the same quality feel and are quite responsive given the connection is via Bluetooth and not through a direct metallic connection.
    The keys are backlit.
    To the case side there is an on/off switch and a USB port for charging the case.
    Note that this differs from Apples design and does not charge the iPad.
    There isn’t any charge plug included but the connection is at least USB-C.
    The touchpad is pretty good too. Nice and large and works pretty well.
    For comparison I’ve photographed it against the smaller Magic keyboard.
    There are most features included that the apple design has for a fraction of the cost.
    I am happy with the trade off and you have to look hard to note the difference.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis keyboard attempts to replicate Apple’s Magic Keyboard. I actually own a ,agic keyboard, so feel comfortable commenting on the similarities and differences between the two. In terms of size and looks, this case is very similar. The dimensions are pretty much identical in terms of the base, apart from Apple’s keyboard base being slightly thinner. I am assuming this is because this copy has an in-built battery, making the case slightly thicker. Again, in terms of weight, the copy is ever so slightly heavier.

    Set up is very easy. Simply turn the switch on on the side on the case, navigate to you bluetooth settings and pair with the ‘F1 Magic 89D9’. Once connected, you are able to use the keyboard. I am typing this review on the keyboard case now. The keys are different to those on apple’s case. There is much more travel in the keys and they are much more ‘clicky’. The makers of this case have actually managed to make the keys larger than those on Apple’s case. The return key is smaller on this case and the shift, caps lock, tab and delete keys have lettering on them, rather than symbols on Apple’s case. There is also a backlight key on this case. Press this and you can cycle through settings for the keys’ backlighting – on or off.

    The main obvious difference between the two cases is that this one requires charging, whereas Apple’s case does not. Apple’s Magic Keyboard is powered by the iPad itself, whereas this one uses an in-built battery that needs charging every so often. There are positives and negatives to this. Using the iPad to power the keyboard does make the iPad’s battery run down slightly quicker. The flip side is that needing to charge your case is an additional job to have to think about. With this case, you’ll be having to charge your iPad and your case. With Apple’s offering, you just need to remember to charge your iPad. I was happy to see that the touchpad has all of the multi-finger settings and you can also tap as well as click.

    When you close the case, it automatically shuts down both the power to the case and the iPad. There is a satisfying clicking audio sound played when you close it up, exactly like Apple’s case.

    One thing that is missing from this case is the additional USB C input on the hinge. If this is needed by you, then look at Apple’s case. If you don’t need it, then this might suffice.

    To conclude, this seems like a pretty decent copy of Apple’s Magic Keyboard. You don’t get the pass through power, so you’ll have to contend with bluetooth connection and independent charging of the keyboard. If you’re happy with all of this, then you can save yourself a couple of hundred quid by going for this option.

    Sometimes these cases can be hit and miss but thankfully this one is a hit. For the money you get a product that has a premium look and feel to it with great functionality. The power switch is exposed slightly and can easily be turned on by accident or when putting in a bag. Other than that it’s a great case. Someone mentioned about pass through charging but I see no mention of this anywhere nor how it would be relevant as it has no lead. Still it’s a far cheaper alternative to the apple one but does the job just as well

    It looks very stylish. It is quite useful. In one word, I was blown away. It’s a bit heavy, but it’s a detail that can be overlooked because it has gone into computer form. It was a product that I am very pleased with, definitely get it.

    NOTE. It does not close 360 degrees. if you want to use only one ipad. You need to extract it from the keyboard and use it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars That's perfect 👍

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersSeems very well made. Strong, good magnetic attachment. Nice carry on keys. My only thoughts for improvement – would be nice somehow if it could fold flat for use with Apple Pencil and. THIS DOES NOT SUPPORT PASS THROUGH CHARGING which is disappointing and not as per the product description.

    Good option at a third the price of Apple equivalent!
