Apple - Smart Keyboard Folio for 11-inch iPad Pro - Black

I have been waiting to upgrade my iPad for years now and one of my favorite parts of my old iPad was my bluetooth keyboard. After picking up the iPad Pro 11" and connecting this Smart Keyboard to it, I will never want it any other way! PROS: - It has a great design! There is enough weight to it that allows for it to feel protective but not overbearing. The leather like feel to it makes the iPad feel even more high end. - Its so thin - I really was impressed how Apple pulled this off. I attached a picture to show how thin the iPad looks connected to the keyboard. - You can use it in your lap! The part of the keyboard with the keys on it is all one piece and does not fold. This makes it more firm and able to easy use it on your lap. - Typing it feels really smooth. Even though the keys aren't as tall on a laptop, it still provides enough ease to write emails or documents on. CONS (Hard to find any): - No backlight keyboard and not as much typing feedback as a classic keyboard. But this is necessary to not have a battery in it and drain less battery from the iPad. - It's pricey for a keyboard accessory but par for course compared similar keyboards. BOTTOM LINE: If you are picking up this iPad, this is a must buy. You will love how this fits into your every day life so well and helps turn this iPad into the compact laptop you've wanted.

Honestly this was not my first choice due to the price tag. I was using Mini Microsoft Bluetooth bifold keyboard which works great but it’s an extra thing to worry and Apple Smart Folio (which in my experience had been unstable) I’m Very happy and Satisfied with Apple Smart Keyboard, I also added pencil 2 and black Apple mouse. If I may also recommend, to get “Paper Like”. It’s awesome!

The keyboard was what I was missing! Love it! It makes my IPad complete. The pen fits even when keyboard is closed! I love the magnetic closure. Purchase it if you can!

This keyboard seems to now (almost a year post purchase) be experiencing something that I find is a very frustrating issue with many Apple products these days... That being, it worked very well...at first, but only 11 or so months later I'm constantly getting an error message on screen stating that “This accessory is not supported by this device.” There are a number of reasons I've researched online that this could be occurring, and I've actually had this issue occur with the lightning cable for my iphone 7 as well. I suppose I've grown to accept that these types of issues will happen after some time due to software updates or the need for firmware updates with the hardware itself, but not less than a year after purchase.

Awesome keyboard works seamlessly with my iPad Pro!!
