Nice Keyboard

The keyboard works well and I use it daily. It's a little small since it's the size of an ipad, but still not too hard to use. It does not automatically turn on when you open your ipad case, so you have to hit the power key and wait a few seconds before you start to use it. Overall, I like the keyboard and would recommend it.

I like the responsiveness of the keyboard and the ability to hold the screen in a consistent angle. The only thing I would have liked is the more rigid hold of the screen at a desired angle. There wasn’t much of a choice for an option like this.

I looked at a few different wireless keyboards to pair with my new iPad 10.5 and I’m glad I bought this one. The shell is rubberized over a durable molded plastic so its supple yet strong. The device fits snuggly into a cradle which can be removed from the folding keyboard and I found that to be a huge bonus. They keyboard has beautiful backlit keys. That can be changed to one of several colors which is also functional and fun. Best of all, it works seamlessly with my iPad and the functionality of the iPad isn’t hindered, only enhanced.

Good solid build, but heavy and a bit bulky. Though it’s nice having somewhere to put the pencil, from a design view point it get really old and uninspired. The pricing is decent though.

Good price and build quality. I’ve had no issues and haven’t ever ran out of batteries with it. A bit on the heavy side though.

Great case/cover and keyboard overall. My only suggestion - I just wish there was a way I could see easily how much battery power was left on the keyboard itself. Overall a great product though and def one I would purchase again

I like this better than the Apple keyboard on my larger Pro. A little bulkier, but the tradeoff is more protection and the keyboard works well.

Great keyboard for the money. You can change the background key colors and brightness. Needs charging only once a year can't beat that.

I enjoy having a lighted keyboard at times. The folio provides good protection for IPAD and I anticipate using it frequently when traveling.

This has been a nice keyboard and hard case. It's taken a couple of falls and been fine. Battery on the keyboard lasts a long time too.

Difficult to synchronize with iPad, required trip to Best Buy to get assistance from Geek Squad. Also, rather heavy, I take it out of the case when I take it to the gym.

The case is great for protection and typing. The keys light up when you type also. Making it easier to see when the lights aren’t on.

Nice that I-pad can be easily removed because of magnetic attachment, but when used with keypad it is very heavy. If you try to pickup and move while in view position, magnet not strong enough to hold I-pad in case. Takes a few seconds to respond and allow typing on keypad. Don’t like as well as my IPad Air Targus case which was light and much more responsive upon opening to view position. Would just say this case is ok, but the best I could find for IPad Pro 10.5.
