Features
  • Space efficient, standing design

    The case holds your iPad securely upright so you don’t need extra surface space to accommodate a kickstand. Your iPad locks into a slot on the keyboard and fits neatly into the top of the case, making it easy to use in tight spaces, like an airplane tray.

  • Laptop-style keys

    No more cramped typing and misspelled words. Spacious laptop-style keys with clean precise keystrokes make typing fast and easy.

  • Detachable keyboard and stylus holder

    The keyboard and case detach to accommodate different uses and environments. The stylus holder keeps your stylus close-at-hand for when inspiration strikes.

  • Highlighted function keys

    The row of highlighted function keys at the top of the keyboard increases your speed and efficiency. Shortcut keys like Apps Running, Keyboard Hide/Show, Search, Pairing, Play, Next Play, Volume Control and more means you don’t have to hunt and scroll for options.

  • On-the-go efficiency

    Messenger Folio 2 is easy to use when you’re on-the-go with instant pairing and type-C charging—the latest, most convenient way to charge. The magnetic closure holds the case securely closed while it’s in your bag.

  • Long-lasting battery

    Type for up to a year before recharging the battery.* Keyboard automatically turns off when folded backwards against the tablet. The sleep/wake function helps preserve battery life when keyboard is not in use.

  • *Based on regular use of one hour per day.

    Great iPad case!

    This iPad case is excellent! It fits perfectly, feels sturdy, and provides great protection without adding bulk. The stand function works smoothly, and the cover is easy to open and close. Very happy with the quality and would definitely recommend.

    Great for school!

    [Employee of bestbuy] Easy to use and set up. The quality is pretty nice for price. I use this for class work and practicing c++ and other languages. I don’t like that I have to disconnect it manually to not use it or accidentally click it. The battery is great. I charged it only once and I still haven’t charged it since. (I’ve had it for about over a month)

    Almost perfection!

    This has protected my iPad more times than I can count. It is so easy to insert the iPad and it pops right up in the Bluetooth list. This is my second purchase of this case as I bought on for my fiancé’s iPad and I loved it so much I bought one for me. Now let’s start with the battery. The battery life is simply amazing. My flight to Hong Kong with the layover was 33 hours both ways. I was there for 14 days and 13 nights and I never charged it once. I used it to type in all the information on a K1 visa application and for anyone who has done that, you k no on how long those are. If I had any issue at all it would be for the keys to be a bit bigger but not necessary And yes, that’s us in the pic, right after she said yes!!

    Serves the purpose

    Works well with iPad 9th generation. Key clicks are louder than expected. Holds charge well.

    It works perfectly with my iPad helps me while I’m trying to do my college work and not having to type on the screen so slowly, I was skeptical about it at first, but definitely recommend

  • Can I flip this case onto the back of the tablet so that I can set the tablet down to take notes or draw?

    It can be flipped all the way around but it doesn’t sit very steady because the keys are what will be on the bottom (against the table or whatever you set your tablet on).

  • Can the keyboard work still without iPad being in the case?

    I do not believe so. Never tried that. It's a great case. Only issue was when u open and close case the middle breaks between the keyboard and screen. it's a great case they just need to fix that part and make it more sturdy
