Folio

This is a great purchase for such an affordable price. The keyboard is very easy to use once you get used to the different alt option, cmd, function and control button. You need to get used to which one does what, but once you do it is so easy to use. The keyboard is a regular QWERTY and it has all the functions you need for it to work. It is super easy to connect and charge, with a long battery life. I love how they have different colors that appear. It is magnetic so it fits right onto the case. The case is very easy to use and is magnetic. Overall, the iPad case and keyboard is very affordable and useful in anyone’s day to day life. 5/5! Perfection!

When I was shopping for cases, I bought quite a few to see which one would meet my needs. This one was the winner. The backlit keyboard is great - it connects easily, I still have not charged the battery and it fits nicely inside the case. The case itself has a decent texture and quality to it. I do think it will eventually break down from all opening, but I think that day is far in the future. Other cases didn't have as nice of a texture or overall fit and finish. I like the the keyboard is removable. I only take it with when I think I'll need it which lightens the overall package. A few things I with were better: -the keys do contact the ipad screen but I have not had any issues because of that. -the case is slightly loose without the keypad in it. Another brand was nice and tight with or without the keypad. This is a super minor annoyance. -the case folded behind the iPad does not allow it to lay perfectly flat without bounce. Again, minor. Again, I tried numerous brands and this one rose to the top. It's a great value.

Very cool keyboard! You can control if you want it automatic or select a specific color to use the whole time. Connectivity is great and will turn on and off automatically depending on your use. Sound of keyboard is good too, not too loud or quiet! Also at the upper keyboard above the numbers there are different button shortcuts like going to home button, control brightness of screen, screenshot, controlling the volume and so on. Stand itself is pretty solid. Not sure if it’s just me, but I can’t seem to find a lower “writing” angle like with your Apple Pencil, otherwise the stand falls off. But again you can always remove the keyboard if you don’t need it. Would def recommend especially for this price!

While the Apple touchscreen and virtual keyboard work very well, I always find it a bit awkward to use the keyboard for input of more than short notes and email responses. With this external keyboard I have upgraded the iPad to a very competent light notebook. The case/keyboard definitely adds a bit of bulk, but that is to be expected. The case seems to provide effective protection and the ability to position the screen is a nice feature. I have down-rated the battery life solely because the device is new and I have not had the opportunity to stress the battery with prolonged use. I do agree with the annoyance registered by another reviewer that the case does not use a lightning connector to charge, so you need to keep and carry an additional cable, but for anyone who uses a non-Apple phone, this is likely not even an annoyance. The keyboard is nicely responsive, with good feel and key travel/feedback. The lighted keys are a nice feature that I was surprised to learn is not just a cosmetic frill but actually can be practical for selecting non-distracting key illumination in certain situations. As noted, the case is sturdy and, as you would expect, holds the iPad firmly. This practical necessity does make it a little difficult to put the tablet in and take it out of the case. For many people this will be of no consequence as they will keep it in all the time. I like the ability to carry the very light, thin iPad alone when using it just for browsing, ebooks, and YouTube/streaming viewing so this is somewhat more awkward than the easy magnetic attachment of my Surface or the latest iPads, but for the price and functionality it provides, this is truly a very nice compromise.

I waited awhile to write a review, I apologize for that, but I wanted to see how well this would work for me as my employer just went to a software format and gave all us hospice nurses an ipad, lol. We are way behind the times out here in rural TX, but I’m finding this case and iPad keyboard to be an essential part of my job. I have not had any issues with battery life. I can go an entire 5 day work week with seeing upwards of 7 patients in a day, using the software and writing narratives before it needs recharging. Which, to me, is imperative to my job. I’m having to recharge my ipad more than the keyboard, lol. Grateful to have this as it seems to hold the ipad well. Have not had any issues with fit or quality. And I have dropped it on a carpeted floor but thankfully, the casing seems to have saved the day. I like that the casing stays in one place when maneuvering the ipad screen for optimal viewing and the keyboard does too, with the magnetic feature. I’m glad I purchased this product as I am responsible and accountable for an $850 product that my employer graciously provided and this case keeps it well protected.

I had purchased another case before buying this one and that other case made my nice expensive iPad look like a cheap chromebook. This case, however, is sleek and functional. The keys on the keyboard are low rise and quiet when typing. The magnetic flap holds everything together nicely. Just got back from a trip and overall was extremely happy with this case. Though the case does now have some marks, and I'm not very tough on it, so it's not super durable after some light to moderate use. On the plane I was told to store my "laptop" for takeoff, so I pulled off the keyboard and tossed it in the seat back and BOOM, no longer a "laptop" miss stewardess. Buy it!!

The case is solid but I don’t like that the keyboard just sits inside. Nothing holds it in. It has to be taken out to use the stand feature. The pen holder barely fits the Apple pen, it has to be forced in and once it has a pen it doesn’t close as tightly. It’s made well, the color is nice, just has some usability issues.

I use this case for my 8th generation iPad. It fits perfectly and I love to have a keyboard to type on. The case is very sturdy and keeps my iPad well protected. The keypad stays in place magnetically and has a back light, which helps when there is not enough light in the room. A word of caution; do not pick up the iPad with it's case open, as the keypad will fall out. The magnet is not strong enough to keep it from falling. There is no problem if you pick it up closed.
