ESRiPad Pro 13 Inch Case with Keyboard (M4, 2024), iPad Pro 13 Keyboard Case with Easy-Set Magnetic Stand, Portrait/Raised Modes for iPad Pro 13, Removable, Rebound 360 Series, Black

Strong points: There’s a sub-case to protect your iPad when it’s off the keyboard; good tactile feel on the keys; trackpad works well; you can turn the iPad to vertical orientation and keep typing; base is heavy enough to be stable; priced about a third of the Apple keyboard.Weak points: Trackpad is too small; It has a separate battery to keep charged; It’s pretty heavy to carry.I think the good outweighs the bad. Recommended.

I got the ESR Keyboard Case for the 13” iPad Pro, and I’m really impressed. The keyboard feels smooth and responsive, the trackpad works perfectly, and it’s super easy to connect. It honestly makes my iPad feel like a full laptop.The case is sturdy, the stand is adjustable, and the backlit keys are great for working at night. It’s sleek, protective, and definitely worth it if you use your iPad for work or everyday use. Highly recommend!

Recently got the new Ipad and was looking for a case and found this one. It is a great case! Feels great and keeps the Ipad super secure. I love that you can detach the keyboard from the case so you can use them separately but still keep the Ipad fully protected. I also like that the case rotates on the magnetic base. This is everything I wanted and at a super reasonable price. My ONLY complaint would be the weight of it. It is definitely heavier than carrying my Macbook Air and that took some getting used to. But to get around that I just use the case without the keyboard when I don't need it so the weight isn't an issue. Would definitely recommend this product!!

This review is for the ESR keyboard case for the 2024 M4 iPad Pro 13.So, let’s start by saying this case is Exactly what I wanted for my new iPad Pro. The M4 iPad is so new, its really hard to find a good aftermarket case, but ESR seems to have read my mind and made one… a really good one albeit. There are a few nitpicks from me, but overall, this is a 5 star case.Why do want this particular case? Because I want the iPad to have a case on at all times. When it is in the keyboard case and when it’s out. ESR has made a keyboard case just for that. The iPad is essentially in a slim black case at all times, so when I remove it from the keyboard case to game or use as an iPad again, I don’t need to worry about it or have another case on standby. ESR accomplished this by making the slim case with a metal backing, so the magnets from the hinged side lock onto the slim case, not the iPad, which makes the magnetic power extremely strong. Once you snap the iPad on, it doesn’t move nor slide around. You can open, close, adjust the hinge angle without fearing your iPad will move around. Oh the slim case will also accommodate the pencil and it even has a strap that will protect the pencil when the case is closed. Overall, the case is very sturdy, well designed and built. The touchpad is excellent and the keyboard has a firm feedback which I like. Oh, the keyboard battery, yes, it has its own battery, so you don’t have to drain your iPad to use it. Yes it needs to charged, but it is also an USB-C and the battery last a long time, for weeks of use. And No it does not have a battery gauge, which at first I thought it might be worrisome, but guess what, the native battery widget on the iPad shows the keyboard battery percentage!!! This is AWESOME, see attached screen shot!Now, let me nitpick a bit… wow is it heavy. I understand with all the metal, magnets and battery, it will be heavy. I think it’s heavier than my old clunker IBM Thinkpad! But it’s something I am ok with and can live with, for all of its features. Oh, due to the weight, the keyboard does not tip over when you are using it on your lap on the couch or in bed. The weight of the battery anchors down so the iPad is not heavier than the keyboard, which is an Issue with the Apple MK, its so light that it tips over easily.The keyboard, BTW I am writing this review with it as we speak. Why does this keyboard DOES NOT HAVE A DELETE KEY??? Instead there is a screen lock key! why? It’s very frustrating that I am so used to using the delete key and every time I hit it, the screen goes blank! I will have to bring up the onscreen keyboard to use the delete key! Ugh!!! This is probably my biggest gripe with this keyboard!My recommendation to ESR would be to put the delete key back and give us one more color on the keyboard lighting, white. It has every color but white. The closest to white is cyan, which is just a lighter shade of blue! Give us pure white please!Other than that, this is an awesome keyboard case at less than 1/3 of Apple MK price! Plus its 360 protection of the iPad and onboard battery feature, it is definitely a 5 star product!

I love this keyboard. I’ve probably had a dozen various iPad keyboards and this one is a favorite. I love the backlit keys! Other keyboards I’ve had don’t light up enough. The trackpad is better than any I’ve had. Very responsive. In the past, I’ve very rarely needed to use my iPad in portrait mode, but (!) I have been using it because of the portrait/landscape feature on this one. I really love it. Totally unexpected surprise. Every keyboard case I’ve ever had has been slightly heavy and this is no exception. Although I certainly wouldn’t call it HEAVY. Any extra weight is due to the extra case that can be removed. I wasn’t sure if I’d like this or not. But, I dropped my iPad one day and I’m sure it would’ve cracked the screen had it not been for the extra case. It’s not a screen protector, be aware of that, but it helped protect my iPad when it fell on its side. Since I ALWAYS have the backlit keys on, the battery life doesn’t last long for me. I’m used to that, though. I’m sure it’d be much better if the keys weren’t always lit.Finally, and my biggest reason for writing this review, the customer service is beyond amazing. I have added raised keys to my keyboard because I have long nails and the raised keys make it easier to type. One of the raised keys got caught on something in my bag and ripped the whole key off. The keyboard was just out of the return date through Amazon, so I contacted the seller directly to try and get a replacement key. They responded immediately, asked if the key could be put back on with instructions they provided. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the key. They happily replaced the ENTIRE keyboard and it arrived in a day and a half. Incredible! I’ve never had a better experience with a company. I’d give them 10 stars if I could.I would (and have) recommend this keyboard to friends and family. It’s the closest I’ve come to finding the perfect iPad keyboard.
