للامانة جميل جدا وفعلا يعطي الايباد منظر لابتوب لكن بأقل من شهر لم تعد تعمل معظم الازرار في الكيبورد للاسف

Really good quality case and keyboard!

THE GOOD The case holds my iPad 9th Gen snuggly and securely, though it is a little harrowing to remove from the case once it’s in there. Initial pairing via BlueTooth is quick and easy. I had no issues with connection or latency once it was paired. Once the iPad is paired to the keyboard it will automatically connect once the keyboard is activated and powered up. There is a slight delay, but it’s only enough for you to miss a key stroke or two. I’ve learned to compensate. The 180 degree rotation is a nice touch and is useful for when I do want to draw or take notes. The screen hinge feels sturdy and holds the tablet at your set viewing angle without drooping. I’m taking bets on how long that holds, though. The keys are tactile and have a good amount of travel when typing. They are mostly silent, but that also depends on how aggressively you hit the spacebar. The added pen holder loop is a nice touch. I’m one of a handful of people that I know that actually uses the pen, though. Your mileage may vary. THE MEH It is bulky. It is heavy. It does make having the iPad feel more like a mini-laptop, which is the point, I suppose. It’s slightly thicker than a standard M1 iPad Pro 12.9” with an authentic Magic Keyboard, if that helps. When you are first using it the joints can be stubborn. I’ve worried that I am over torquing things that that I will break the screen mount from the keyboard. Try not to be an ogre. The keys are also a bit cramped, but that’s life when you are dealing with a 10” device. With that in mind, it takes some training to avoid the trackpad when typing. I did struggle a little with the cursor jumping around, but it’s lot better than some of the third-party Samsung Tab keyboard sets I’ve tried THE BAD Nothing, considering that I got this for less than $40 USD. My only real gripe is that there are other “brands” of the same unit selling for upwards of twice the price and they offer the exact same experience. The keyboard is a bit generic; hard plastic and no frills. I don’t need anything too fancy as I use this for a short emails, writing up social media scripts, and light video editing. Because we are locked in landscape mode the camera is centered and off to the left side, which does make web calls and face time a little awkward. THE GRRR I’m not alone in being frustrated with how some apps on tablets (Apple and Android) only work in portrait mode. With that in mind, using this with native social media apps is a no-go as we can’t use the keyboard and rotate the screen orientation (or at least, orient it to maximize the screen use). In order to use the keyboard, all of your sites need to be accessed through a browser. Luckily, the iPad aspect ratio allows for better viewing of webpages than the smaller Android offerings. Still, for the iPad 9th gen, this is a solid set up: easy to use, intuitive to navigate, and quick to get used to. How does it compare to the competition? Like I mentioned, there are multiple “brands” that sell this same shell configuration. I have not tried them, but some do look to use better materials (this one seems to be made of ABS, which is a little brittle). Other options offer a “Magic Keyboard” feel that uses a rubberized case around the iPad with a metal mesh in the back to magnetically link to the keyboard (I have tried that one). This is a great concept, but it’s super top heavy and the magnets aren’t all that strong. Honestly, while it offers the “Magic Keyboard” aesthetic, it falls short in application. Those also start around $70; twice what I paid for this sucker! For my money, this is the best way to use an older format iPad with a BlueTooth keyboard. That said, it really depends on what you want out of your device. For productivity, I think this form feels most familiar. I use the Google Office suite to type things up (I’m not used to the Apple ecosystem) and its easy enough to use. Video and clip editing is pretty clean with the trackpad, though I tend to use either a mouse or the touchscreen. For entertainment and light gaming it’s a bummer (due to weight, girth, and clunkiness), though why you would insist on a keyboard case for that over a standard folio is a bit of a head scratcher. If you’re using the older iPad layout, this is a good option. If you have the A14 10th gen or the newer A16 11th gen, I would skip this case format and go with a third-party magic keyboard style. I have one for my newer A14 10th gen and I love that thing.

Fantastic item of high quality. Very happy with it.
