Durable keyboard case for 12.9" IPad Pro
After reading some of the sponsored reviews for this product and viewing the available photos, I was concerned about the quality of this item and reluctant to purchase it. I reviewed the Logitech create keyboard and upon reading about issues with scratches and indents on the IPad Pro's screen that is caused by the case, I kept looking. I looked into and purchased the $180.00 Apple keyboard. After hating the Apple keyboard due to its flimsiness, the shallow keyboard keys, and the fact that the 12.9 inch IPad Pro too easily separates from the keyboard, I returned to this product. And I am very happy that I did! This case arrived yesterday and immediately I could tell that it was what I was looking for in a keyboard/case for my IPad. This case essentially turns the 12.9 inch IPad Pro into a laptop. Upon arrival, the item was well packaged and instructions were written in English with accompanying pictures in the guide. The IPad Pro fits snugly into the case portion, not overly tight but it's not going to just fall out on its own either. The Bluetooth keyboard connects easily to the IPad Pro, and the instructions will walk you through the steps on how to connect the two if you don't know how to do it. They keyboard itself feels almost like a full size keyboard to me, and the keys have a good amount of depression when pressed down. It is true that the keyboard has to be charged with a micro USB charger, but one is provided for you inside the box. The keyboard will also tell you when the keyboard needs to be charged, as well as when the IPad Pro and the keyboard are paired, and when the keyboard is fully charged. There is also an on/off switch for the keyboard if you wish to further save power, or want to pivot the screen into "flat mode." Speaking of the "flat mode" (I don't know what else to call this), the screen swivels and lays flat on top of the keyboard so if you prefer to use portrait mode instead of landscape occasionally, this is ideal. The case itself is plastic. I would have preferred a different material, but the case only costs $45. It would be great if this company made a higher end case in a different material. I think they would find a market for that. The only concern that I have, and it is a minor one, is that the portion of the two pieces that holds the IPad Pro in place feels just slightly heavier than the keyboard portion. This is not an issue if you have the case on a flat surface such as a table, but when sitting with the case on your lap it could become an issue. I just make a point of keeping the screen more upright when using the case while seated on a chair. Overall, I believe this is a good option if you are in the market for a durable and substantial keyboard case for your IPad Pro, that will essentially turn it into a small laptop. That is what I was looking for and it suits my needs perfectly.
