But, in the case of my new IPad Pro 4th generation, Apple’s keyboard/trackpad didn’t measure up to the demands of frequent travel and particularly for its lack of a secure place to stow the Apple Pencil. I was skeptical of the quality and functionality of this product due to its low price. I was skeptical of its ability to securely grip the IPad on the keyboard magnetically, particularly due to the additional protective case around the IPad when its used by itself away from the keyboard. Bottom line: The keyboard, the track pad and the magnetic connection, the separate IPad protection, all perform excellently as designed, and under the rigor of frequent travel. The keyboard case offers solid protection in and out of a soft-sided briefcase. And, the case provides a secure protective slot for the Apple Pencil, while allowing it to remain charged. The case does add significant weight to the IPad, but not greater than carrying a laptop. The case does not require independent charging. The case uses the IPad for power. The keyboard backlight can be turned on/off and adjusted easily. One can charge the IPad normally, or through a USB-C pass-through on the keyboard itself, allowing charging and usage of a USB-C accessory simultaneously. A terrific product at a surprisingly low price. Addendum: After using this product for almost a year--daily use, lots of bumping and tossing into luggage and briefcase--it still performs magnificently. I detect no difference in the keyboard despite the heavy use. The case is still perfect. I love the ability to separate the IPad and then reattach it. It disconnects and reconnects flawlessly. Review: Great Product, Could be more durable but great customer service! - EDIT: They replaced it for free despite it being out of warranty! Contacted me promptly, very pleased with their customer service. Waiting for SwitchEasy desertcart to contact me, but I’m disappointed that the case becomes completely useless if one of the metal contacts falls out, which happened to me randomly. Otherwise, this is the best case for those using a Magic Keyboard. Will change my rating once I’ve been able to reach someone, as it doesn’t seem there’s a customer service messaging option. ## Features - [Compatibility] ONLY compatible with 2018-2022 iPad Pro 11" & 2020-2022 iPad Air 10.9". - [Keep Case On While with Keyboard] SwitchEasy CoverBuddy is the one and only patented case that allows iPad to connect to your Magic Keyboard.

I used this product for a few months with my ipad. It's a great way to secure your pen. However, soon after having it, the small piece of plastic closest to the volume button started to warp. That area is extremely flimsy, yet it's one of the most handled spots on the ipad, considering it's where your volume button sit. Secondly, the golden connectors that allow your ipad to connect to your magic keyboard are not durable. The middle connector fell off of my cover, and for the longest time, I thought my magic keyboard stopped working. It wasn't until I got a hold of another keyboard that I realized it was a broken cover buddy that caused the issue. Odd since the cover buddy is almost always inside of my magic keyboard case. I wouldn't have been too upset if this case cost the $15 that it's worth, but when you pay $70 for it, you kind of expect it to be a little more durable. ## Frequently Bought Together - SWITCHEASY CoverBuddy Lite for iPad Pro & iPad Air Case, Work with Magic Keyboard & Smart Keyboard Folio (Keyboard Not Included) | ONLY for 2018-2022 iPad Pro 11" / 2020-2022 iPad Air 10.9" (Black) - Apple Magic Keyboard: iPad Keyboard case for iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th gen) and iPad Air (4th, 5th gen, and M2), Great Typing Experience, Built-in trackpad, US English - Black (Renewed) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/328077863-switcheasy-coverbuddy-lite-for-ipad-pro-and-ipad-air-case](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/328077863-switcheasy-coverbuddy-lite-for-ipad-pro-and-ipad-air-case) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
