Edge Magic-Style Magnetic Keyboard Case for iPad Air 13/Pro 12.9

I have used an older version of this case for a number of years, and my only complaint about it was the constant need to turn off the touchpad every time it woke up. More on that below. This case/keyboard is solid, and for some that means heavy. The weight helps stabilize the thing with an iPad attached, and the double-hinge design places the iPad weight a bit forward, which also helps stability. You probably won't poke this over backward. I mention that because I've had case/keyboards where the iPad leans back from the bottom and rests on a support that doesn't even come halfway up the iPad's back. And several times I lost control of the iPad and it crashed to the floor. That's why I was looking only at the double-hinge designs like this one. The keys have a nice feel, and the backlighting is fine (just like the older version). There is a forward-delete key above the backspace key, and for me that's a bit of a requirement, too. There are key combinations for many functions, and you get key-combo help on whatever app you're in. And, there are key combos for a selection of common Greek symbols, if you use those much. There is a little key-combo cheat sheet to the left of the trackpad, but I have to admit that it's too small and dim for my eyes. Also, the instruction booklet lists all of the key combos, but the print in the instruction book is too small for me to read unaided. That's common these days. Anyway, bottom line is that I like the keyboard in my required double-hinge configuration, and I'm happy with the purchase. Some people worry about the magnet strength. Make sure your iPad fits; mine's a 12.9 with no other case on its back. I will say that before you close the iPad down on the keyboard, you should push it back to its furthest reach. If you don't, it might knock the iPad loose from the magnetic back. It's not that the mags are weak, but it's the leverage you apply if there isn't sufficient room to close it down. Now let me carp a bit about the touchpad. I know some people live on the touchpad, but I'd prefer that it not be there at all. But every case/keyboard of this type [double-hinged] has a trackpad, and some of them have no way to disable it. Apparently, most people are not interested in disabling the trackpad as a feature, because in all the product descriptions and the glossy advert material it's never mentioned. So, I asked Amazon-world if it was possible. No users responded, but the manufacturer did! Yes, it can be disabled. It's now an fn- function, whereas before it was its own key in the right-option position. The rep even took a reply and responded a second time, so I was happy with that interaction. The trackpad does seem to recede when I'm typing even if I haven't disabled it. The disabling seems to last longer now, too. Note: AMAZON FEEDBACK: The first time I ordered this, the wrong product was sent. I simply returned it, saying it was not what I had ordered. I immediately ordered another, this time it was right. Love it, 5 stars. AMZ issued a refund for the first, but later informed me that they'd reverse the refund because I had not returned the correct item. They provided no means of communication, and the chat bot didn't understand. I gave up, so in effect I bought this item twice just to get one. I wish I knew what to do if Amazon delivers the wrong item. Just returning it doesn't work.

Upon receiving my typecase I was very disappointed because I failed to realize that these types of cases did not allow for flat ipad usage. I take lots of notes with my apple pencil as a college student, and so I need to be able to use my ipad as a notebook, but also as a laptop since I don’t have one. I looked up the apple-branded magic keyboard case only to find that it had the same design flaw. Despite this, I kept the case and do not regret doing so. It is a bit pricey, but nothing compared to apple’s concoction. I think it is well worth it. I had a cheap case with a keyboard that was detachable that cost around 30 dollars, and none of the essential shortcuts or function keys worked, which was insanely frustrating. The trackpad was also absolutely terrible, so I went looking for a better, lighter, and cuter way of protecting my ipad while still having a keyboard and i stumbled upon this. The magnet is insanely strong- I struggle to pull the ipad off with just one hand, so there is no need to worry about it sliding off. Typing feels rewarding, all keys are functional and it comes with a handy manual of all available shortcuts. Not to mention, the case is very aesthetically pleasing. I bought it in pink and was delighted to find that the RGB lighting also had a light pink option compared to the typical hot pink. The trackpad was what really sold it for me- it is so smooth compared to the cheap 30, 40 dollar junk you get and does not frustrate you with skipping or freezing. It is also very stable, I’ve used it in my lap and on my bed with 0 problems. It also has a slip for your apple pencil, which is convenient, because sometimes you want to store it without having to attach it to your ipad and therefore draining your battery. Overall, an outstanding purchase I would recommend if you want something as good as the apple magic keyboard without the price tag.

I absolutely loooove this new case for my iPad. It fits perfectly and is easy to remove with the magnetic back. It has great quality and looks very well made. The case and keyboard are easy to clean and charges quickly. The typing feels great and the keys press easily. The case feels sturdy and I feel it gives good protection. Definitely recommended it and the price is worth the product you get.

It's a great keyboard case, fit my tablet perfectly, the keyboard feels nice and responsive, all around durable and stable. Was very easy to connect to my tablet, so compatibility is 100%. Only con is I feel the edges are still a little too exposed. Since there's nothing covering the edges from side impact or it falling out all together if dropped, pretty sure a thin case could solve that. But all around typecase makes great products.

This is my second one of these cases for my iPad. The first one lasted 2 couple years but I am hard on them. You have to charge the case which is a pain because I had the apple Smart Keyboard originally but I also paid a high price for it. This is a good option for a much cheaper price. It does not bend as far back as the apple one but again……price! It was easy to pair, the keyboard feels good under my fingers and the cover provides good protection for my iPad.

Cheaper than the Apple keyboard for iPads. It has the color lavender/purple for my iPad Air in the purple color. It’s so nice. It can also hold my iPad pencil pro with the flap!

I wasn't sure if a keyboard case would make a big difference, but now I can't imagine using my iPad without it. The typing experience is excellent, and the trackpad makes multitasking simple. The case itself is protective and well made. It feels like I turned my iPad into a full laptop setup.

At first, I loved this keyboard case. The extra row of keys (modeled on the MacBook keyboard) really helped: sometimes I can't get an app to swipe closed, and the task switcher key solves that issue. Plus the microphone button makes doing voice input trivially easy to start. And the magnetic attachment/cantilever design is just like the Apple Magic Keyboard I already have. I mainly bought this new keyboard case because the old one has started periodically losing connection so that typing doesn't work and I need to restart the iPad. So far, so good. Now the bad: it _is_ heavier. The Magic Keyboard is 1 lb 9.7 oz (728.6 grams), while this typecase Keyboard Case is 1 lb 13.7 oz (842 grams). So this new one is 15% heavier, which isn't a ton, but it's noticeable. Plus the magnets are apparently weaker: with the Apple device, I could slide the iPad closer to me by pulling on the iPad itself and the whole thing would slide over. With this, most of the time the exact same procedure causes the iPad to pop loose. Probably the greater weight also has an effect here, I can't tell. So I'm stuck. I like those extra keys, and the build quality seems pretty good. I think the hinge is _slightly_ wobblier than the Apple one, but overall it seems solid. And the backlighting is also cool. But the iPad popping off is irritating, as is the startup lag (for the Bluetooth to settle down) . If the Apple Magic Keyboard had all the keys of the MacBook or this typecase, I'd really be a happy camper. OR if this typecase had better magnets and quicker connections, I'd accept the weight.

Pros: Funda magnética con teclado retroiluminado para iPad Pro 12.9, diseño delgado y elegante, conexión magnética segura, retroiluminación ajustable, protección integral. Contras: Precio puede ser alto, posible adición de peso, teclado puede ser compacto para algunos usuarios.

Extremely satisfied. A great dupe for the Magic Keyboard. My iPad fits securely and the keyboard connects quickly (about 1-2seconds). I like the colourful backlighting. It’s like having a laptop!

Works seamlessly with my Gen 4 12.9” iPad Pro. Love the key board lights and the connectivity . It’s a bit heavier than my original Apple key pad . It’s okay though. …..

I have only used the keyboard for about a week now but I am very pleased with it so far. It is miles ahead of the Apple keyboard it replaced for 1/3 the cost. It is more functional than the Apple keyboard and the backlight feature works great. It has a functional keyboard”esc” key and several other great features lacking in the overpriced Apple keyboard. If this keyboard only lasts a year, I will be financially ahead from replacing the failed Apple keyboard with another Apple. The Apple Pro iPad is great (and it should be for the price)but the supporting keyboard is a wildly overpriced joke. I have now replaced two Apple keyboards on two different iPads with aftermarket keyboards which were both superior. I will never buy another Apple keyboard.

for the price, it’s a really good keyboard and is a good option when u aren’t wanting to pay for the apple one. the track pad is the slightest bit laggy and its click and be a little finicky, the sides of the case have frayed a bit but i’ve been using mine for a good while now so honestly nothing that bad for the price u are getting it for and it does look nice
