I have had this for a few months now and can say that it was an awesome purchase. I thought the lack of different angles would bother me but in the end it's manageable. In about the 6 mos I've owned this thing I have only had to charge it once so the battery lasts a while and I use my ipad a lot (it's practically replaced my laptop).
The only downside to this cover is that it definitely adds a lot of weight and thickness to the ipad and holding it in "portrait mode" is kind of awkward to hold for long periods of time. Furthermore, removing the tablet from the case is also a bit of a process and not something I would feel comfortable doing very often.
If you think you'll use your iPad in landscape mode like a laptop 90-95% of the time, I think you'll be super happy with this. If you thinking you'll treat it more like a tablet in portrait mode more often than landscape like a laptop, this may not be the best for you.

Very sturdy magnets hold the iPad in place. Great quality materials used and had a lit up keyboard for those night study/work sessions. Has a pocket to safely hold the Apple pencil and once folded up the magnets hold everything in place firmly to protect the screen. Must have for the iPad.

This is a great keyboard case. The finish is a sort of soft rubber that provides nice grip when carrying or sitting the device on your lap.
The keyboard itself has a surprisingly excellent feel, with the keys providing a pleasant tactile feedback rather than the squishy feeling you typically associate with this sort of thing. I'm used to typing on a full size desktop keyboard, but found the dimensions of this keyboard to be similar enough that it was easy to start typing. It also automatically connects to the iPad when opened, so it's very easy to use.
The case also seems like it would provide decent bump protection for the iPad, which is a big plus if you're using your iPad as a laptop replacement and will often carry it with you. The only downside here is that, because of the keyboard, it does add a bit of weight to the iPad. But that's to be expected when adding a keyboard.
Overall, it's an excellent keyboard case that I would highly recommend.

I read reviews on this keyboard when I was deciding between this and the Apple keyboard and I’m so glad I did. The keys light up, it covers the iPad nice and securely and the keys have such a satisfying click. The keyboard is easily charged with your iPad charger. I absolutely love it.

Turned My iPad onto a Laptop

This is the best case that I've ever had for a tablet. It turns my iPad Pro into a laptop. The problem with all cases I tried is that they were very flimsy if you weren't using them at a desk or table. With this case I don't have that issue. It feels very secure sitting in my lap and I don't have to worry about the screen falling. The keys are great and the keyboard doesn't feel squished or the keys don't feel too close together. It is just as easy to use as a full keyboard. The case is also very protective and I have dropped it a few times without any damage to the case or my iPad Pro. I really wish that ios had mouse support when I purchased this because I would have gotten the one with the mouse when they released it, but for now, I just pair my external Bluetooth mouse when needed.

I purchased my first IPAD. I wanted a keyboard that was back lit and easy to use. This keyboard charges itself from the iPad itself. When you close the keyboard up the ipad shuts off allowing the charge to last for a good while.

11" iPad Pro is wonderful - I bought it with a simple cover, but typing anything of length was a pain - I do a lot of emails between family and friends especially in these times. The keyboard was very easy to fit and paired with the iPad almost instantaneously. It is a real saving in time and alleviates frustration. I use a Laptop for a significant part of my workday so I am likely an easy candidate to transition to using this small format (unlike my wife who uses a conventional desktop keyboard and has difficulty with her tablet). It does add weight compared with the simple cover, however, it is an easy swap. I haven't done the pencil yet so I can't tell whether the magnetic flap works well or not. Overall really happy with the product.

What I Like: Gives all around protection to my IPad Pro. Typing feels like on a netbook. Illuminated keyboard was a selling point for me.
What I didn’t like: No smart connector (Bluetooth works well though), it is quite bulky, no way to know how much battery is left.

The case is sturdy and reliable. Can feel a little heavy at first compared to other cases, but you get used to the weight pretty quickly. Battery life on the case is really good. I’ve only had to charge it once so far

Love this keyboard. Has a nice tactile feel to it when typing. Folders up nicely to protect the iPad. Also wraps around the Apple Pencil when not in use. The negative is that it’s expensive.

This was purchased to protect the iPad Pro I use in my role as a professional wifi network engineer. It protects the iPad well, while providing a very usable keyboard - important if you're arthritic.
For simply carrying and protecting the iPad, there are less costly and bulky solutions. The Otterbox case comes to mind. But this one allows me to use the iPad to take notes and prepare documents while at client sites, which is very valuable.
It also has a reasonably secure sleeve in the closing latch, in which to keep the Apple Pencil. Given the cost of the pencil, that's another value.

I have had a number of these keyboard/holder units over the years for my iPads. This one is the top of the group. It holds more securely than previous models, has great bumpers to protect the unit, and the keyboard is top notch. It's bluetooth again instead of the direct connect like the previous iPad Pro model had. Connection is instantaneous, and so far the battery life is exceptional. The only thing that I miss from my previous Logitech case is the display brightness control. Otherwise it is perfect.

WHY DOESNT APPLE MAKE COVERS/KEYBOARDS LIKE THIS! Honestly if you buy the apple cover you must want to break your iPad… this should be the only cover anyone buys for their iPad! Light up keyboard…check, Protection for iPad… check, protects your Apple Pencil…check! It does it all for close to the same price as the apple cases! Also uses the same charging port as the iPad so it’s easy to charge.

I mostly use the ipad pro for classes and meetings. So typing is a must. After using it for quite sometimes, I found there are a few pros and cons.
Pros:
Easy to install
Light weight
Keys giving a smooth, real, but not too loud experience as you can feel the keys when you tap them
Very long battery life
Cons:
Big grains of dust obstruct typing
Only one angle setting (can’t lean more forward or backward)
Some rapid blinking here and there
Overall a good product, not as pricey as genuine apple but can be on par. Great job!

I was hesitant purchasing this product at first because of the cost.
After using it for a while I have fallen in love with it.
It does add a little weight but when using your iPad as a computer so you don’t have to carry around your computer it is awesome.
The keys feel good and respond well. I type over 70 WPM and it is just like typing on a keyboard to me.
I would highly suggest this as an option if you are looking for a keyboard.

This keyboard by far is better in price and design then the Apple keyboard. The design is sleek and love that it has back light so that you could see the letters while typing, very comfortable to use far more economical and holds along charge. In addition I absolutely love the magnetic case that adheres to the iPad very sturdy. I highly recommend this keyboard for half the price of the Apple Smart keyboard. This keyboard is smart enough for me!!

I really like this case. At first use I thought it was too thick, but after looking at it. It is very protective. It covers all of the danger areas that the other thinner cases does not. Not to say anything bad about the Apple keyboard and cover. It probably works well as a keyboard but I do not believe the protection for the IPad is there with that case. This case is great. The keyboard works very well. The only thing that I wished is that the top was removable. Other than that it is very great case.
