Apple - Smart Keyboard Folio for 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd Generation)

I initially got this from Best Buy a few days after launch. The package I received was factory fresh and unopened. Upon opening the box, I found there were fingerprint stains and smudges all on the keyboard cover, and also a “speckle” type pattern on half of the back of the keyboard case itself. It tried to remove it with soap and water and it did not come off. This is the first time I’ve experienced a poor out of the box experience with an Apple product. I took it back to Best Buy where they said they did not have any in stock and had to drive an hour to a different Best Buy to obtain a replacement. The replacement I purchased did not have any of these problems at all out of the box. The case and keyboard work well, but I would warn people to closely inspect their item out of the box to make sure that it is not as I described.

It is very sad that this keyboard case is the only one that is available during the time of the Ipad Pro’s (3rd gen) release. I am coming from using the Qode (from Belkin) and that keyboard/case blew this one out of the water with value for the money for half the money. Pros -Keyboard feels great. (Typing feels very natuural for me) -Nice Strong magnets, Ipad always feel nice and secure to the case -Case is very thin and low profile Cons -So overpriced -No keyboard/Ipad shortcuts (no siri, or other Ipad controls) -No backlighting (this is a big one)

This keyboard fits perfectly on the newer iPad and does a wonderful job at staying connected on the back of the iPad. It is not too bulky and the keyboard size is perfect to type on. Also the two positions for the iPad to rest make it perfect for typing on a desk or even on your lap. I wouldn’t get any other type of keyboard case after purchasing this.

Maaaan , This thing is very expensive. But it's super convenient. I was going to return it because it's expensive and theirs others alternatives but once I had it in hand and used it , it was just to good to return . Its great for typing, lightweight for traveling, no corner protection though.

I've had this overpriced keyboard for 2 days and it has been a disaster. It is bulky and very slow to respond on the word app. Needless to say I will be returning it today and purchasing a smart folio which is a $100 cheaper.

This thing is great. Only wise it protected the iPad sides.
