A:AnswerI agree. I don’t’ think this can fold into a lay flat mode or tablet style while attached to the keyboard. This is a bummer for me as a digital artist. I don’t want to take it off and switch cases or lay it on a hard surface all bare back! For me, I think I am sticking with the folio and buying the standalone magic keyboard since I do more media consumption/art rather than office/business work. Good luck! Cheers.
A:AnswerIt is connected through smart connector. The magic keyboard does not have Bluetooth or battery. Once you put the iPad on the keyboard, it is ready to go.
A:AnswerYes, the 12.9 iPad Pro 4th Generation keyboard will work with the 5th generation iPad Pro. Keep in mind the 5th gen pro is slightly thicker than the 4th gen pro and the result is that the keyboard doesn’t close exactly flush. I have attached photos of my 5th gen ipad pro in the 4th gen case and 5th gen case.
A:AnswerIt protects it from scratches pretty well but I don’t think it would protect it as much from damage if it were dropped. The keyboard itself is amazing but the way it’s open on all sides and the fact the iPad is held in place magnetically has me worried about it being dropped.
A:AnswerNo. You cannot have another case on your iPad. The iPad must directly touch this keyboard so the smart connector contacts the keyboard, or the keyboard will not work.
A:AnswerIf you are talking about the white magic keyboard that came out recently there is no difference! The magic keyboard is the keyboard to have for your iPad Pro. I personally couldn’t imagine my iPad without it. It’s significantly heavier compared to the Logitech keyboard or even the rugged keyboard cases Apple offers in store, but the overall experience is much more pleasant!
This is the 1st generation of Magic Keyboard so currently they hasn’t been a refresh! The only thing they did was make it white, but the specs are the same and so is the weight.
