The media could not be loaded. This is gonna be a lengthy review.I’m writing this review, as an unbiased reviewer who just bought this as I thought it looked good (and was on the cheaper side), to get my thoughts out onto the page and hopefully help you, the customer, make a decision on this product.To preface, I am a PC / Laptop user through and through, but as I made my way to college for Music Education, an iPad became more practical for me to carry around. I will be, in this review, at times, comparing it to a laptop experience.Build Quality / Materials:- The “shell”, and keyboard is made from ABS Plastic, and has an almost leather-like quality. It feels amazing in the hands, rigid, and is incredibly resistant to everyday wear and tear.- The product itself is split into two parts, the case and the keyboard. The keyboard is incredibly light, but not too light that it feels cheap. It’s a great balance, and doesn’t add too much weight to the device. The case, which includes an adjustable stand, has been amazing for getting the perfect angle, as it allows you to rotate the iPad as you see fit. It hasn’t failed me yet, and I don’t see that happening.- The “case” portion of it has relatively nice protection for if you dropped it, and even comes with camera inserts to further protect it! There’s also a cutout for the Apple Pencil at the top, which is nice, and obviously, cutouts for all the ports.- When you close the “lid” over the screen, the device does turn off, which is awesome! Just be aware that the keyboard doesn’t automatically turn off. Obviously, but something to remember, as the device will lose power.- The magnet strength leaves much to be desired. While it’s nothing horrible, it doesn’t wow me. Lifting the iPad alone will lead to the keyboard falling off, and while this is fine, I wish it was just a bit stronger.To add on to this, when you close the keyboard over the screen, it does turn off. There is some level of magnets that turn it off, but it does not stay at all if turned upside down. Having magnets that keep the keyboard closed over the screen in any way would be amazing.Device Functionality:- The Bluetooth connectivity works.. Most of the time.The trackpad is advertised as nearly zero latency, which just isn’t true. It’s.. Fine? It works for everyday use, but highlighting things can be difficult at times, as sometimes the trackpad registers that you let go, and stops highlighting.To summarize, the trackpad can be a bit laggy, but, hey, it’s Bluetooth. If you want something with zero latency, you’re gonna have to shell out more money to get the Logitech or Apple keyboards.- The typing experience is nearly flawless, with the exception of some minor glitches, but nothing major or out of the ordinary.- The only major glitch I’ve noticed is just the device itself sometimes just.. Stops working? But all you need to do is turn it off and on, and without fail it always fixes itself.- The keys themselves, for the most part, have been fine. Low travel distance, good size, small buttons, sure, it’s not a full massive keyboard. Compared to a laptop, it’s small. This took some adjustment, but after I got used to it, it was perfect.The only “problem” I’ve noticed is the spacebar has a bit of a springy noise. Not sure if this is something I can fix myself, or just something I have to deal with, but it’s nothing major, just not favorable for typing in a classroom / lecture setting. Aside from that, the keys are about as quiet as any similar type of keyboard.- Battery life so far has given zero issues. Rarely have to charge, and I've never once worried about it dying.Color / Lightning:- The backlight has 3 different brightness settings, and 7 color options. They’re all great, and practical! I settled on purple, as it’s my favorite color.- I went with the “Dark Gray” color, and I love how it looks, as the keys and trackpad are a lighter gray than the rest of the body, which gives it a sleek look.Shortcuts / Gestures:- The device has 13 “function” keys, ranging from volume up / down, brightness, screenshot, etc. These vary in how helpful they are, but it’s nice that they’re all there!- It also has shortcuts to change the brightness, color, and check the battery.The battery “level” indicator leaves much to be desired. It ranges from 1 blink of the red light to 4 to show how “charged” it is. Different color indicators would be more preferable as it would be easier to tell, but again, it’s fine.Overall, I’m giving it 5 stars. I will be using this product for as long as it holds up, and don’t see myself replacing it for the foreseeable future. For $50 dollars, you’re getting quite the bang for your buck. It’s a really high quality product at an affordable price, and can 100% recommend it.Thanks for taking the time to read my review! Hope it was helpful!

So far i am quite impressed with this iPad cover. The keyboard is easy to use and quite responsive. Not sure how much I will use the trackpad. My thumb is twisted downward due to arthritis so my thumb touches it as I type and keeps sending the cursor everywhere but where i want it. I have turned that off. It was very easy to install the iPad into the holder and then pop it back out when I need to, unlike some others I tried yet it is very sturdy. The only drawback i have with it is that I have to use it on a very small surface so the length of the keyboard front to back makes it hangover the edge and I have to be careful not to knock it off the edge. But that is my problem. The iPad detaches very easily from the magnetic strip on the keyboard and reattaches easily with no real effort. It is a little heavier than i would like but not a deal breaker. I will have to decide whether I can continue to safely use it on my small surface. That is the only reason I might need to return it.

This is sooooo cute!-sleek-funcional-sturdy-soft keys-strong magnetic- minus 1 star bc I have to take off the case with some plugs, wish the kick stand bended all the way & I wish it came in more colors 🥲

I loved the case so much that I bought for my iPad 10, I bought it for my iPad Air! I have bought numerous keyboards for my iPad 10th generation. None of them worked.This one worked from the get go. I love it! The keyboard detaches easily. Every letter and number works! The backlight is awesome with different color choices. Just wish they had more colors to choose from.

First Impressions are HIGH. iPad Pro 12.9 inch 3rd gen fits very well and does not slide around like some other reviews suggested. I assume those were the IPad Airs that have that issue. It is a bummer that the trackpad does not have tap to click and does require physically pushing the pad to activate click, but at the price point definitely not a deal breaker. It is heavier than I expected but I like that, it feels robust. It was easy to connect and is comfortable to type on. I am hopeful my current positive opinion does not fade with issues over time, but I am very excited to use this every day as it will make my work life much easier.

Bulkier and heavier than expected, the case part is kinda heavy and bulkier I don’t know why such a heavy design, it will make it hard when grabbing it to read.Trackpad lags when using it it can’t keep up if you set it up too fast.Keyboard doesn’t charge the iPad which is normal with this kind of detachable cases.Pros: Backlights are very cool, the design is amazing if it was lighter and if the trackpad was bigger it would be a 10/10 design.Returning it, but I would had keep it if it was lighter.Durability well it looks like it will last a while.

The keyboard and trackpad is very responsive, glad I came across this. Design is very sleek and easy to use. Weight is expected but I really love that the trackpad is easy to use. Had to try other products before and this is the best one so far.

Did I mention perfect! If you’re looking for a portable, backlit, detachable keyboard that is really quiet, this is the one for you! I love this keyboard! I brought a more expensive one but it was not detachable nor was the keyboard backlit, and this has 7 colors you can change the keyboard to! I am so happy I purchased this, for a fraction of the most expensive ones out there. It has made me love using my I-pad again! I was even able to use this while on an international flight and it helped me stay productive in a very tight seat. I have no complaints about this keyboard and will use it for as long as I can! It’s exactly what I was looking for in a Bluetooth keyboard for use with my iPad! If you are on the fence buy it, you will not regret it!
