It was the perfect solution for my work scenario. Thanks for making a great case!

I have been using this keyboard for a few days now and so far it has worked very well.
I purchased this keyboard because of its BACKLIGHT FEATURE.
I purchased a similar keyboard a few months back and not realizing that
it did not have a backlight feature, there is nothing wrong with that keyboard, but I do
most of my typing at night and the backlight on this keyboard works very well.
It's not too bright and not too low for me it's just right. The stability is average . The battery life is the only thing
I guess if your using the backlight and the keyboard at the same time it drains the battery.
Don't worry you can control the backlight feature , you can have it on or off you don't have to use it all the time.
My opinion it is worth the money.

Excellent!! I love it

Impressed for the price. Trackpad very responsive, and the keys see very good. The click one he trackpad isn’t great but it works. If you compare it to the Magic Keyboard then it’s not apples to apples be realistic with your expectations for the price and I think you will be pleasantly surprised like I was. The balance also is better then I though it would be. I can touch the screen and it wont tip over.

I have a 5th gen. iPad and I bought one from apple. They sold it to me as new. But when I received it there was no mistaken it was used. Rip-off! To make it worst, it stopped working in 3 weeks. So for over a year ive cursed apple. Cause I’m still paying for a keyboard they would not stand behind. So I tried this one. Rare to find one for a 5th gen. This paired fast and works great. I’m SO VERY HAPPY WITH THIS KEYBOARD!!! Highly recommend

I’m giving 5 stars because I like everything about this case. I had the Apple one but I like this one better. I love the color (I chose purple) and I love the extra bit of protection it gives that the Apple one does not. One thing: it’s a little creaky sounding when you move it around while it’s open but that’s just being picky and not a big deal to me.

Absolutely enjoying this with my iPad Pro 13in. It definitely enhances the tablet experience & was absolutely worth it!

I love this case. In fact this is the second one as I got a new iPad. This one has a problem I never had before, The case above the keyboard is bending at the hinge. I read another person had this problem Wish it was not doing this but I still find it very useful product.

The best!! Iggybelly influenced me to get this case. I am in LOVE. The keyboard is amazing, there is no delay, everything feels solid and looks and works amazing. It immediately connects when you flip the on switch. Battery life lasts me so long! The price imo is great! For reference I have the IPad Air 13in in purple and the color of the case is exactly the same as the iPad itself! It’s spot on.

Love the keyboard and how the iPad stays in place. However, the case itself is very slippery and since it adds so much more weight to the whole thing, I’m always afraid of dropping it. Maybe you could add some texture to the case?

I knew I needed this after I saw it on TikTok. It’s so good and lightweight too. Now I font have to carry my laptop around!

EDIT: The seller reached out to me after my review and offered to send me a replacement free of charge. I received it in two days and I'm really happy with the outstanding customer service. I have bumped my review up to a 5 because aside what happened to my first one I love the case so much that I was planning on buying another one anyway and now I don't have to.
I really enjoyed this case, however, 10 months after I bought it the case broke. I am planning on maybe getting another one since I did really like it, so maybe I will update my review later if a second one holds out better. I think if they would reinforce the case around these top keys it wouldn't be an issue. The hinge is great, but that is the problem in itself. It is so good that it requires a lot of force to open and close the case. I never noticed it pulling too much before, but in the last month I began to notice a very noticable "lift" w here the case was bending at that point. Then finally the other day the plastic snaps between the keys. Again, I love the case and wouldn't be opposed to giving it another try, but, for now it's a three star from me.

I’m using the keyboard to write this review. My only complaint is that some times it takes to long for the keyboard to wake up and start typing. The case, while very user friendly and practical, it just about doubles the weight of the iPad. If you use the keyboard a lot, I don’t think you can go wrong with this item.
Promise ViZon
Fits perfect on my Ipad, absolutely love the fact the keyboards are normal size, and the light up colors are Amazing. The it was built to function in different positions make it very easy to use. Great buy!

This type case is the best. I really love it! The backlit keyboard has different colors, and you can adjust the brightness using the shortcut keys. The mouse pad allows you to navigate around with minimal use of the touch screen. The shortcut keys across the top of the keyboard is synced to your iPad so you have options to adjust screen brightness, video and music player controls, keyboard light color and brightness, etc. The overall weight is mostly the weight of the iPad so it’s not adding a bulk of weight. There is no lag between the case and the iPad so the speed is great, and it my iPad perfectly.

Turn you iPad Pro into a lap top well made easy to use highly recommend

This case is wonderful and a good value. I love the backlit keyboard and it holds a charge for a very long time. The swivel allows me to move the iPad any way I need to and it provides solid protection. There's a place that holds the apple pencil for charging or just safekeeping. The keyboard types easily and isn't too loud. In addition, it protects it well from drops. Please note that I've only dropped it a few feet and its done well. I'm not sure if it would protect it from a high fall.

Works as it should.

Works great, no trouble connecting via bluetooth, and is adorable!
Heavy duty enough to feel like I have protection for my ipad, yet lightweight.
Deirdre Harper
well , it’s a bit heavy but i like that as it seems durable. works like a charm easy to pair. love it, oh yeah i something about the price lol it’s hell of deal

Works as described.

I was on vacy with my family but had some important work to do. Having the typecase made filling out the paperwork very easy on my iPad. I love that it is back lit because I could work in the hotel room with my family at night without turning on the light. Setup is super easy and you can’t beat the price!

I bought my first one or an iPad for the keyboard to replace the unusable keyboard from Apple. When I lost the iPad, I had to buy a new one and I tried the Logitech Keyboard case which was as useless as Apple. I searched for other Keyboard cases, and found none that seemed better than the Typecase. The interface with the iPad is a bit cumbersome, but overall it works well once it finally reconnects with the iPad after a period of non-use.

I like it because I can lay ipad down flat to use the pencil. 3rd one I have used and like it.

This keyboard case is perfect for your iPad when you don’t want to carry your laptop. I’m able to do all my work and still submit it on time.

Love this IPad Case. Worth the money and hype. I love how the keyboards light up when you turn it on. The quality is amazing. I also love the color (my fav color is purple).
Martika White
Beautiful and perfect for me at work! Kind of Light weight and durable.
Sarai Assets & Acquisition
The iPad case I didn’t know I needed. Gave me the full functionality of a laptop within minutes. No hard to pair and easy to operate. I love this case and would buy it again if needed. It does weigh more than my old case but my old case did not include a keyboard. 10/10 highly recommend. The price was definitely worth it.
Laramie Hood
This case is so functional! I love that it can be used anyway! And the color is so pretty!

This case is awesome!!

Excellent product, except I have to agree with complaints about the weight it added to the iPad. Although I won’t ding it any stars for the weight because I knew what I was getting into when I purchased. None of these keyboard cases are “lightweight” to be honest and add weight to the iPad. Yes, you can spend nearly $400 and get the Apple product and save SOME weight, but it is added weight nonetheless.
With that said, the only lag I have found (which seems to be a complaint) is when the keyboard goes into sleep mode if left turned on. And yes, it makes it a little difficult to “find” the cursor, and get it moving, when using the trackpad to “wake” the keyboard up, that is super minor if you realize that it takes time for it to wake up and re-establish the Bluetooth connection. Again, it is not the $400 Apple keyboard that doesn’t use Bluetooth and never goes to “sleep” because it is hardware connected and uses the iPad battery for its power.
The keys of the Type Case are well spaced for a guy with big mitts and are above average for their tactile feedback compared to others I’ve used on previous versions of iPads I have owned. Love the backlit keyboard colors and use the rotating color scheme on mine; although some colors are better than others at seeing the keys in low light situations.
The Apple Pencil charging location is nice and protects the pencil from being knocked off the iPad. And I utilize the soft pencil holder for when the pencil is fully charged and I’m not using it; like when watching a movie or checking out YouTube videos.
I cannot speak to the case’s protection capabilities because I haven’t dropped it and work hard to make sure I don’t because the case doesn’t appear to be capable of withstanding any kind of real fall, but I’m basing that on appearances only.
Overall well worth the money and would purchase again if needed. I’ve used this product now for a little over a month and if there is any complaint, it is how stiff the hinge is when trying to open/close the keyboard, but if it wasn’t stiff, it probably wouldn’t hold up the iPad in various positions.
Annamarie Gurney
Keyboard is sturdy & solid. It folds flat for taking notes with Apple Pencil. iPad is secure in case. I am very happy.
This company has fantastic customer service! I had an issue with the first one I received & I returned it. Customer service reached out to me to ask for information as to why I was dissatisfied with the 1st case. I explained my experience & they thought I possibly received the wrong model. They sent me out a replacement & I got it within a few days. This one is so much more stable than the last one. It holds my iPad securely. It folds completely flat for writing on the screen. This was a wonderful experience & how a company should behave & how they should stand behind their products! I ordered this case because my $350 Apple Magic Keyboard shorted out. Apple told me I was out of luck & that they couldn’t help me.
Amazon Reviewer
I use my M4 iPad Pro for a variety of tasks, but the big ones (i.e. where I'm pickiest) are sketching/painting with my Apple pencil and writing books. This is a three star product for me, but I think for most people it will be a 4 star product, possibly 5, depending on how and where they use their iPad and whether it's their primary device or one that supplements a laptop or desktop set-up.
What I like:
- the integrated slot to hold AND CHARGE my pencil. I LOVE this feature. Keeping track of my pencil, and keeping it charged, are ongoing challenges for me. This case solves both of those. It's always there and ready to use. Brilliant.
- the swivel screen. This is fantastic for presentations, or watching movies/shows/videos with other people or in other positions than "sitting at a desk."
- the colorful backlit keyboard. It took me a while to figure out how to change the color (it's a poorly documented feature), but once I did I love it.
What I don't like:
- the trackpad. It's very hard to dial in a good speed, and part of that is the trackpad reactivity is twitchy and a little unpredictable. The cursor is both too slow and too fast? Forget playing games with it. It's hard to describe, but it is mentally exhausting to me. I don't like using it, at all. (OTOH, my last keyboard case didn't have a trackpad at all, so...yeah. Me being picky.)
- the weight distribution. The design makes the case very top-heavy when the iPad is inside it, which makes using the keyboard difficult to use. It's too unstable to type with it sitting on your lap, for instance.
- the plastic. It feels cheap, and rattles a little.
- the keyboard light stays on even when you close the top. It doesn't seem to turn off automatically?
Overall verdict: kinda mid, I guess? It's not a bad case (it has good features that it mostly delivers on), but the specific shortcomings happen to be ones that really bug me. The case is so heavy it nullifies the weight advantage my iPad has over my laptop, at least for writing. It still works okay for sketching, but there are lighter cases out there. There are nicer cases, too, but those are significantly more expensive.
Michael W. Smith
It’s pretty heavy, but I expected that. It protects my iPad wonderfully. I enjoy the back lit buttons and the different colors you can change them to. Sometimes the space bar doesn’t work at all and so have to turn off the unit and turn it back on for it to work again. It’s slippery, I wish there was some sort of texture on it so it could be gripped better.

I had such trouble with the Magic Keyboard so I took that back and bought this one. Going from $400 to under $100 with the best results ever!!! I love this keyboard! The functionality is perfect, especially the swivel and multi-angles you can use. All around a great buy and price!
Bryanna
Perfect fit for my iPad. Many different background light options for the keyboard. Swivels 360. Battery last very long.
sandy
Love it! Works as it should. Great place for pen to charge and not get knocked off. The mouse pad is not overly sensitive which is great and it doesn’t try to jump around when you click something as others I’ve tried have.
Prime Shopper Girl
I absolutely love this Typecase Touch Case with Keyboard for my iPad Pro! It converts my iPad into a fully functional laptop, which is perfect for work or travel. The keyboard is soft, quiet, and easy to type on, making it a breeze to use for long hours. The backlight is a really nice touch—great for typing in low light conditions. Plus, the battery lasts a long time, so I don’t have to worry about charging it constantly.
It’s super portable and sleek—great for taking on the go. I was so impressed with it that I bought one for my friend’s birthday after he saw mine and loved it just as much. If you’re looking for a convenient, high-quality keyboard case for your iPad Pro, this is definitely worth it!

I love it. I teach elementary and carry it with me to teach. I did buy a stick in Velcro handle for security while using it in tablet mode.
JO
Have not had that long. The case is nice. Stiff to open. I’m sure it will limber up, just hope not to much. Responsiveness of keys is ok, some time I miss a letter when typing fast. Guess that could be me just not hitting the keys hard enough. Magnet strength is strong. I like the track pad can be turn off when typing. Would like to see the keyboard turn off automatically when it is closed. Also, the keys a little brighter and home keys concave..
Stefnie Hancock
Works great! Easy to use and connects great with my new iPad. It’s a little heavier than I’d hoped for, but otherwise it has been awesome.
Ashwani Agrawal
I’ve been using this case for a few weeks now, and it has completely transformed how I use my iPad. It feels like I’m using a mini laptop, but with all the flexibility of a tablet. The keyboard is comfortable to type on. The trackpad is very smooth and responsive. It makes navigating so much easier. The rotating feature is awesome. I can switch between typing, drawing, or watching something in just seconds. The backlit keys are such a nice touch, especially in the evenings. The case also feels really sturdy and protective. It has made my iPad way more functional and enjoyable to use.
Lsbruegg
Very pleased with the quality and features of this IPad Case for the Air 13” (M3) 2025. It has all the features I wanted: case protection, place for Apple Pencil, multi-direction tilt, ability to turn around the screen and lay it flat. It is slightly heavier than I was expecting, but it does have a nice full keyboard with backlighting, which can be turned off to preserve battery life.
Kristy R
Outstanding customer service. Had some issues about 6 months in and they took care of my issue very promptly. Definitely recommend
MauiJim
I like the color of this product. The keys work really well and have a good feel to them. The shell however does vibrate a bit and feels a bit hollow, but that's with most of these products. The trackpad works well though on the small side, it's just easier to use the touchscreen. The multicolor leds are great to set the ambiance to whatever work mood you're in. There was mention that it's a bit heavy, I find it to be about right.
Katelyn Boles
I have bought cases in the past that cost double the amount of this one that did not work or hold up half as well. This is a great case. Connects quickly and very sturdy!
Ryan
A must have accessory to any style of iPad. For two reasons the first is the keyboard factor it is so much more efficient then using the built in screen keyboard. That and the smudges you save yourself from having to clean the screen so often. The next is the ability to stand the iPad up so it’s more like a laptop. Much better ergonomics and all around better experience for productivity and keeping your hands free for typing etc. the mouse pad could use an upgrade on this device the response time is slow and requires too much pressure to get it to respond.
NaughtiLiterati
This is a beautiful and well-made case and keyboard for my new iPad. It works great, is durable and is responsive. I love how well it works and it protects my iPad too. Very happy with it.
Betina C.
The typecase Touch Case with keyboard is a delightful addition to my iPad. It almost makes me forget that I’m using an iPad instead of a laptop. The sleek and comfortable keys make typing a breeze. I just received it today, and after charging it up, I could immediately start using it.

Love love my case, only downfall is when you have it turned like a tablet it wears on the outer as well as rubs the keyboard area as well. But this keyboard works happy overall!
Valerie Hire
Best customer service! I had a hard time figuring out a command on the keyboard so I instant messaged their Help Desk. They answered immediately and talked me through the problem in 2 seconds. I didn’t have something enabled… and it took just a simple mouse click to fix
Dave Files
Build Quality & Typing Experience:
The keyboard case boasts a sturdy construction, particularly the durable swivel mechanism. The responsive keys feel similar to those on a laptop, although there’s a slight delay when the keyboard wakes up.
Features:
The backlit keys and sleek design are visually appealing. You can easily cycle through the backlit colors using a single key. The setup and pairing process are also straightforward.
Weight:
The case is lightweight enough to be carried in a backpack, but it’s worth noting that it’s adds a little weight.
Anthony Rodriguez
This keyboard case has plenty of positives. Before I get to those though, let me just mention the one “negative” I have of it…the weight. It’s a bit heavy. Kinda wish it was a bit lighter because you definitely feel the weight of it in the backpack. But that’s not worth taking a star off for. Just something to note.
The positives…the battery lasts a very long time, the keyboard and track pad are very responsive and the hinge system works perfectly. I’ve not had any issues with the swivel or angle tension at all on this bad boy. I highly recommend to anyone who does a lot of typing and wants to make that a bit more efficient on the iPad.
Amazon Customer
It’s an awesome choice! Even better than the Magic Keyboard becaause it is also a case and protects the iPad. Love it!!!

This is my 2nd, Typecase I have bought. I bought my first one for my older, IPad and since this product works great, fits great and the price is competitive. I find this to be a good product.
abbycatt
Just got it today. Testing the new typecase keyboard for sound and movement. Quiet typing, keys are responsive. Easy swivel with no sound for either, the posted videos had me worried. When turned to use as an iPad, it as a feature to select the built in iPad keyboard. The case keyboard is protected and there is no interference using the iPad. Overall, the keyboard is exactly what I wanted. I would like to change the curse to something more recognizable, the dot is hard to see sometimes, but there is no setting for that feature. The case is sturdy for use as a laptop but be careful of how far you tilt the screen, if set too far back, the weight of the iPad will cause it to tilt backwards. The swivel hinge does not allow the case to close completely, due to the angle. My only other request would be to add an outside pocket to carry papers. So far so good.
Johnathan C.
The is firm, so it build good. Love the Keys, but not the trackpad specialy when you have to click. I wish the case had different ports like usb, usb c, sd card reader and ethernet build, Was cool if the case connect with the ipad by the 3 doth behind the Ipad pro.

Really high quality and durable case. Practically turns your iPad into a bonafide laptop. The keyboard and trackpad work exactly as it should and it was very easy top connect to my iPad. It also fits my iPad perfectly. (I have the iPad Pro 4th gen 12.9") The case really holds your iPad in place and the closing magnet is super strong. I absolutely recommend!
Ron
I have ordered lots of cases for my IPAD. This one is my favorite. Its heavy duty and durable. Love the flexibility of how you can use the IPAD. It is a little heavier but seems to be ok for more protection. I would say the price is average to others on the market and I would definitely recommend and order again.

Next best thing to a MacBook - get the maximum possible utility from your iPad.

This keyboard / case combo is VERY versatile and allows for various modes of use. As notebook, tablet, rotating screen, protector cover. Has holder for the Apple Pen to keeep it securely attached (better than just the magnet, which tends to drop inadvertently).
Overall solid construction and quality materials, and a bargain providing an incredible value.
The only drawback is that it is on the heavier side of the spectrum.

Very nice but suffers from the same flaws most of these do: The trackpad sucks. Which makes like 60% of the reason to get a keyboard with trackpad case pointless.
It's serviceable, but mine physically double clicks on each click (thankfully only registered as one click, but the chasis and the trackpad both flex/click together and it's awful.
Keys are fine, par the course, very useable. All in all a nice case, I just wish the trackpad didn't suck.
David Romero
This company has great customer service. They went out of their way to make sure that my needs were met when my product didn’t work. This is the way customer service should be!
K. S. Russell
I have not used a keyboard in ages and I’m not the most techie person. I’m usually only on an iPad but wanted a keyboard to do more writing. I’m writing this review on the keyboard, so far so good!
What I like: the keys themselves have a good feel, no lag and have don’t have much sound. There are multiple color backgrounds for the key pad to choose from. I didn’t even know I would like something like this, but I do! I like that the screen case can swivel, that’s come in handy. There are two places to hold pens.
Taking time to get use to: It’s top-heavy and you have to be careful how far back you position the screen. I’m still getting used to all the shortcuts and I seem to touch things that changes the screen on me. This will take some getting used to, but overall I’m very happy with this case and purchase.
Comes with a shortcuts key..maybe I can figure out how I keep changing screens!

Excelente compra, el mejor teclado que le puedes agregar a tu tableta es como si hubieras comprado una laptop en vez de una tableta, aparte tiene excelentes funciones y multicolor en las teclas
Nyanderthal
This case is a bit clunky in the sense that it is hard to find the right angle to set it at, but this is also an unintended consequence of how adjustable this case is. I found it interesting because you have the ability to turn it into a laptop or into a writing pad or into whatever you need it to be. I also like that it has a dedicated slot to put your Apple Pencil into as the Magic Keyboard doesn't have one and as a result, it is very easy for the pencil to get knocked off in my bag or scratched up. The keyboard on this case also has RGB lighting which is a bonus as the Magic Keyboard only has a white backlight. Bluetooth connection is seamless, but you have to remember to turn it off if you are flipping the case to turn it into a kickstand as the keyboard stays on and you can end up unintentionally mashing keys on the back while you are holding the iPad. It is also a bit on the heavier side so it is not very comfortable to hold for long periods of time. Luckily, you will probably be able to find a position that works to keep it up on its own if you fiddle around with it long enough. Other than that, I do not have any major complaints about this case and it does a good job of protecting the iPad which is its primary purpose. The added functionality of the keyboard and the ability to tilt, flip, etc. are nice-to-have bonuses that Apple forewent when designing their own Magic Keyboard.
Jean Stanley
I love this keyboard! the purple matches my Ipad first of all. Second it responds well and has a spot on both the side and top of the case for my Ipad pencil. I dont like using the track pad but could not figure out how to turn it off. I posted a question on the chat and got an almost immediate response from the company. They said you can turn off the track pad by holding down the FN (function) key and the key next to the "link" (chain) and that will turn it off for those of you who want to do that. I am sure it is reverse to turn it on. As it stands, my thumbs always hover over the track pad and the bouncing ball was interfering with my typing. Its bluetooth connectivity is quick, it is a bit heavy but I really wanted something substantial since I paid so much for the Ipad. I love all the different keyboard colors as well.
Strawberry
The case has been very useful for work at home. It's about as good as the Logitech Combo Case I previously had, but this case has a rotation feature and only costs about half the price. This one is also a lot thicker than the Logitech case, but most keyboard cases I've tried are slim and offer little protection for the iPad, particularly around the corners.
Pros:
The case is not excessively thick but feels sturdy
Both the keyboard and the trackpad are very responsive, with almost no noticeable delay.
The Bluetooth connection is reliable and stable; it hasn't disconnected randomly like some other keyboard cases.
The backlit keyboard is a fantastic feature, and you can adjust the colors.
The cutouts are precisely aligned, none of the speakers, ports, or cameras are blocked or misaligned.
The battery life is impressive; I rarely find myself needing to recharge the case.
Cons:
Since the iPad is heavier than the case, it can be top-heavy and may tip over on unstable surfaces, like your lap.
The case prioritizes convenience for laptop-like use of the iPad over protection, so drops could still be damaging to the iPad.
The iPad must be inserted into the case instead of using magnets, making it more difficult to remove than cases with magnetic attachments.

Mixed feelings on the base weight and the sound of this keyboard. I’ve really wanted a lighter weight iPad keyboard, but this exceeded expectations. Both in a good and a questionable way. Good: it’s really nowhere near as heavy as the official keyboards or a lot of the competitors. Less good: It’s kind of too light. It's decently stable on a stable surface like a desk or a table, but tilts back really easily if it’s extended too far back, esp. on your lap. You can hold it down with your palms so if you’re trying to do a lot of typing it’s not necessarily a deal breaker.
Most of the components are plastic, save for the post affixing the tablet holder bit to the keyboard. The overall finish… it works? But there are parts where the plastic doesn’t look well what I’m assuming is molded, like a bit of the connection between the base of the part that holds the iPad and the bezel on the lower left looks kind of chunky, like it was broken off from a sprue and not necessarily smoothed over. I don’t think I care for how firmly the keyboard snaps closed, but it does speak to the clamping force for being able to stay together.
The upper pencil holder doesn’t work if you’re using any kind of pencil sleeve as the clearance is pretty slim, though it works well without. There’s enough of a bezel that it traps the pencil really well in place, unless the keyboard opens it should stay put pretty consistently. The keys are a good size, kind of consistent with your portable Apple device chicklet style boards. The backlight is pretty nice and subtle, not mad at that. Characters legible, should be easy to read at night or in dim light. Switching to tablet mode the mechanism is smooth and it pops into place nicely, not too harsh or abrupt. The feel in hand in tablet is pretty nice. It does add weight over a more simple case, but the bezel adds a nice bit of side grip and it feels intuitive without being too clunky.
Other small nitpicks that aren’t really going to bother me: Collects fingerprints. The plastic has a smooth finish where they just show up. There was also a really fine scratch on the back upon receipt. I don’t know if this was a return that got routed back out or if that’s a factory thing, so I don’t want to dock it for that. I do wish it sounded less hollow and kind of toy-like, but I also build keyboards as a hobby.
Actuation force is reasonable, has a scissor feel. It's comfortable to type on. The battery lasts well. Overall I like it pretty well, but not my favorite. I am a bigger fan of their Edge case, but it doesn't have the same range of motion or functionality. This could be great depending on your needs.
Fred Read
I have r had several. I aways get he extra insurance. They are about the best that I have found over the years of using iPads as my main computer. The single biggest failure point has been the mechanical support around the hinge. But the last one I had did better with that. Instead, it just wouldn’t take a charge. Just get the extended insurance. Asturian, they are easy to work with. The company treated me well too. So it has its problems but the best that I have found, especially for the price. I do use it a lot. I only get a week or so out of a battery charge.

This review is about the Typecase Touch case with keyboard for ipad pro 13 inch (2024).
It is made from hard pastic. At first you will feel it may scratch your ipad. It is so easy to install and fits perfectly there were no scratches on my ipad. It gives you the look and feel of a mac book. I feel like I have a mac book with the advantage of turning the screen in many angles. I use it for many days before I have to recharge it. Typing feels just like a macbook and the mouse does too. It was plug and play. I just inserted the ipad and it was connected instantly via blue tooth.
This case basically turned my iPad into a mac book. Who does that?
On the flip side if you are looking for a light weight case, then this item is not for you but does not mean it will get any less stars. For me it was right on the money.

This was a much needed upgrade for my iPad. I use my iPad at work and at home almost every single day, so having mobility and functionality to the best of the ability is important I’m able to move this thing around in 360° and pretty much anyway I need it. It’s very sturdy but very flexible. I got the dark purple color and it looks fantastic. The keyboard functionality is very smooth. It has a back lit keyboard, which is really nice. It has a very easy and usable mouse pad.
This is all you need for an iPad Great product

I just got this case out of the box. I am surprised there is no charging cord for the keyboard.
At first look I found that I like the color, I was expecting an obnoxious purple.
My first observations before putting my iPad in it:
First thing I notice is how lightweight the Lid is. I'm almost fearing putting my expensive iPad pro in there and counting on it to keep it safe. I'll wait till it's charged up before I try that anyway.
Second thing I noticed is how stiff the swivel is. I was fearing I might crack something using so much force. Maybe that will ease up with the weight of the iPad in it.
Third thing, it wants to snap shut or snap back when you are closing it or opening it up all the way back. I would think that snapping motion will only be accentuated by the weight of the iPad when I put it in there.
Fourth thing is how slick the track pad is. I guess that doesn't matter because I hate track pads and always turn them off anyway.
Fifth thing, really big slick keys, that will take some getting used to.
I will update this review once I have used it for a while...

Works as advertised and fits the new iPad Pro 13. Easy to link using Bluetooth.

This is one fantastic iPad keyboard case. It is really easy to put your iPad in and take it out for those times you don't want to use it. The keyboard is just the right size for my larger hands, making it a dream to type on. I love the backlit keys, especially at night. The swivel is really what drew me to it initially. It is pretty awesome that you can position the iPad so that more than one person can see it.

This case fits my 4th Gen iPad Pro 12.9 perfectly and has quickly become a favorite. I’ve seen a few people mention it doesn’t have a “right-click” function, but it actually does—you just have to turn it on. Go into Settings > Trackpad and switch on “Two Finger Secondary Click.” Works like a charm, even if you leave Tap to Click off.
The keyboard feels nice and responsive (I like that satisfying click), and the backlit keys in different colors are a fun bonus. The hinge is sturdy and holds the iPad at whatever angle I need, which is a huge plus—especially compared to my other case that needs a kickstand and doesn’t work as well on my lap.
The only downside is the texture on the trackpad. It’s a little rough, and after using it for long stretches, my fingertip starts to feel a bit sore. Still, for all the functionality packed into it, that’s a minor complaint. It really turns the iPad into a more laptop-like experience.

Great case for IPad 12 pro or iPad 13 air. Protection around the edges. Connects to iPad Bluetooth quickly. Very responsive keyboard that is a usable size. Function keys work properly and has media keys as well. Nice smooth swivel that holds in place. Would recommend for anyone with a 12 in iPad Pro.

This thing is super convenient and the keyboard battery lasts forever

This is a very nice keyboard and trackpad and it is a great alternative for the Magic Keyboard. When I have it attached to my iPad, it could almost pass for a MacBook Pro. The size of the keys, shortcut buttons, size of the trackpad and the font of each key is practically identical. The keys even feel very similar while typing. The only obvious difference is the backlighting, but I like being able to change the color. I find the red backlight to be the best in low light. The battery life is good as well, I have only charged it a few times. I think having the ability to turn if off while its not in use has the most impact on that.
The case is very versatile as well and the hinge will hold the position without slipping or collapsing. It would have been nice to be able to detach the keyboard, but it can be folded in a way that hides it anyway. This isn’t the top of the line, but it is great for casual users.

It turned my ipadPro into a laptop which is what I was looking for. Keyboard is great, has multiple functions with backlights. Fits perfectly and the fact I can just twist it and use it as a tablet when I don't need the keyboard is fantastic. Very easy to connect and use. A great purchase, definitely recommend it!

This is a much better case. I got a similar model last year for my Ipad Pro 12. The one I got then was not that great. They keyboard was a bit flimsy and the screen bobble when you press on it.
This is so much better. The keyboard has a very nice flight and it is very sturdy. I also like that you can swibble the screen around and use it in many aspects.
The screen stills bobbles a bit, but because you are using the big track pad, you will rarely touch the screen.
This is a much better implementation of a keyboard case and the manufacturer did a really nice job.

This is an awesome keypad case for the iPad Pro 13 (M4). If you want to use your tablet as a laptop on steroids, this is the case for you. It has all the bells and whistles.
1. It is very sturdy and heavy (heavier than my MacBook Air).
2. The iPad Pro fits perfectly with exact cutouts for charging cord and buttons. It is also fairly easy to remove the tablet. 3. There are two places to store a stylus. The top one allows magnetic placement and holds the pen securely.
4. The unique swivel hinge allows infinite angles and positions of the tablet in the case. The hinge is somewhat stiff, making it more likely to stay where you put it, but also cumbersome to adjust.
5. Opening and closing the case turns your tablet on and off.
6. The keypad is super easy to use with nice key function, good response, and well marked power button and caps lock light. The keys stay backlit while using and the colors are very nice. It pairs right away when following the good instructions.
7. The trackpad is responsive, but a bit clunky for users accustomed to a MacBook (probably makes more sense to a mouse user). The cursor is just a grey dot that is sometimes difficult to find. You have to actually press the corner of the pad to select instead of double tapping. So it gets some getting used to. I rarely use the trackpad because I am so accustomed to touching the screen of my tablet.
8. The cover color is great, a dark plum. So far, the cover has not become scratched. And it feels very protective.
So, all in all, this is an excellent case, but just not the right one for me. I am elderly with arthritis. I need something lighter weight that allows me to use my tablet vertically and horizontally easily on my lap as well as on the desk. But, for a younger, working person who needs to carry their iPad Pro for work and travel, it would be good..

picked up this keyboard case for my new iPad Air 13" (M2), and I’m seriously impressed. The multi-touch trackpad is super responsive—makes editing, browsing, and everyday use feel just like a laptop. The 360° hinge is a game changer too—I can flip between typing, drawing, and watching videos without needing a separate stand.
The 11-color backlit keyboard is a nice touch, especially when I'm working at night, and I love having all the PadOS shortcuts right at my fingertips. It’s made using my iPad so much more productive and enjoyable.
The case itself feels solid and offers great protection without being bulky. Plus, the built-in Apple Pencil holder is a small but super convenient feature.
If you’re using your iPad for school, work, or creative projects, this keyboard case is 100% worth it. Transforms your tablet into a full-on workstation.
