Easy to set up and cute

Llevo unos tres meses con ella, y funciona bastante bien! Es perfecta, especialmente con la nueva actualización de Apple que hace que parezca una Mac! Lo único que si diría es que tengan mucho cuidado si se les cae cualquier líquido (café o algo así), pq si como que se entiesa el teclado (igual por ejemplo, puedes pagar extra para cualquier accidente pues la cambias o algo!)

I love these cases. They stay where you put them and they don’t move.

I love this thing. Great alternative to the Magic Keyboard. I love this for school/work. Protects the iPad well.
Just Me
A “mini” laptop computer
Seriously. Attaching it to my iPad Air 5 turns it into a mini laptop computer and then some. Of course it closes up, but it also folds backward; sort of like a tablet. It can rotate too and whatever position you use, it will stay put. It’s made very well and when your tablet is attached, it’s quite heavy, but it supports it well. It’s not a hassle to attach either. Just drop the iPad into the slot. Coupling it to your specific iPad is easy and you can choose from several, different backlight colors. I’m not at all “techie”. I had no problems with it. I liked it so much that I also bought one for my Air 3.
I often use my iPad for my artwork. At those times, the keyboard is unnecessary and actually gets in the way. Because of that and its weight; I uncouple it…but as I said; it’s not an issue recouping it.
*Just a Suggestion” I find that sometimes enclosed directions are printed much, too small. You might find it easier to take a capture of them to better see them on your iPad or iPhone when you’re actually coupling the devices or anytime you need to read directions.
You’re welcome.

Works well. Love the backlit keyboard.
Case is plastic, and we anticipate it cracking at some point, so are looking at other carrying cases to help protect it. I'll update if it cracks and/or we find a good carrying case.
ghokie
I've been very satisfied with this keyboard case and recommend it if you're looking for something to provide a bit of protection to your iPad and need a regular keyboard, or are tired of using the on-screen keyboard...
Pluses...
+ Fits well
+ Pairs easily
+ Stylish
+ Great ergonomics - screen can be positioned for easy viewing for work or presentation
+ Satisfying keyboard feel
+ Backlit keys for dimly lit environments
+ Long battery life
+ Doesn't add much weight to iPad
+ Reasonably priced
Minuses
- The case easily scuffs/shows blemishes
- The plastic does not feel substantial (I haven't done a gravity check (yet), but the material feels brittle as if it would easily crack if dropped). Hopefully, my perception is wrong.

I love this keyboard for my iPad i seriously recommend anyone who wants a laptop but doesn’t want to invest in one just yet to get this product. The only issue is obviously a laptop is bigger.
Charity King
I honestly was ready to give this keyboard 5 stars, however I can’t seem to find a way to remove the Caps Lock indicator arrow that pops up and STAYS up when you type in all caps. At times the indicator arrow pops up at the bottom of the text which is fine, but on some apps, the arrow pops up ON the text and stays there! It affects typing- when I can’t see what I’m typing until i return to lowercase. If someone can help me find a way to remove the CAPS LOCK indicator arrow that would be great. The arrow isn’t needed because we already have a light that comes on when the Caps lock button is pressed. Thank you!
Alex
Keyboard works but on some sites or apps the special keys don’t match up with what they say they do, letters are always correct though. I’m not sure I can say this was worth its price, could be cheaper considering the touch and feel of the casing and the noise it makes while touching and closing it. The keys sound fine though, more of a click than a clack which I’m appreciative about. Love the many options of LED lights you can chose from too. I’ve had this for a little over a year and it still works great! Wish the battery life was better, doesn’t last long as I thought it would.

Fits really well. Satisfied with purchase.

Bought in november, keyboard doesn't hold a charge by end of March. Keyboard stopped working altogether first week of April. if you plan on buying one of these 3 times a year then check the value, it's not there. Update: Apparently the seller reads and cares about their reviews. I have received the absolute best customer service after the sale...and it's been months. So many sellers don't care, don't respond, etc. Not this seller. I bought a second one not because the seller enticed me, but because of the service after the sale. It's nothing short of amazing. You will not regret it.

So far I love this. I thought it was like a metallic purple but I’m really happy that it isn’t. Soooo pretty
BC-Atlanta
Sleek slim lined keyboard that is easy to use.
WesterNYLady
This case with keyboard is heavy but my tablet is well protected. The keyboard is color-changing which is fun, more importantly it works well. The hinged lid stays put so it's easy to se the tablet for any angle. I recommend.
Danny Do
Easy to pair, great quality device and helps my kids with their homework.
Irene Gonzalez
Loved this product, unfortunately it did not fit my tablet but would totally would have loved it if it would have fit.
psychichealer
It would be great if the trackpad would stay off when I turn it off. But it doesn't, my hand lays on it and screw up what I'm doing . The iPad has a touch screen. It doesn't need a touchpad! When I can remember to keep the palm of my hand off the keyboard, I type with ease though and love the way it makes my iPad feel like a laptop.
LilbitsCreations
The product is good, the color is perfect it’s very tight when turning but hopefully it will loosen up a little.
Michelle
Sturdy, attractive, functional, all but in one area. I’m surprised nobody else is having a problem with it… I can’t charge my iPad while it’s in the case. The cord won’t go all the way in unless I take it out. It’s a real bummer but I love the case so much that it’s not a dealbreaker.
Betsy
purchased for my niece, adorable, purple lights
Phyllis Aguilera
Love it this is such a good investment
Pearl
I like the swivel feature of this case. It is well made and fits well but the touchpad feature is one of the main reasons I bought it. I had difficulty with the touch pad but it was likely a user error. The seller reached out to me and helped me resolve it, I was very impressed with the product AND especially the seller who promptly reached out to me and offered help.
Sarah
My girls love these. We have used them for a few years now. It makes them feel like they have a computer and can do most of their school work. It lasted a whole year and that is a lot with all the drops they take. Easy to put on and take off. Appears like the picture.

LLB
Absolutely love the burgundy color. Lit keyboard comes in handy if you're lighting isn't so good. LOVE the flexibility but have to try and conserve usage and be gentle with it. I had a similar case which eventually broke down and I couldn't open or close properly. But it lasted a good several years. I tried other kinds of cases but the hard case with the rotation options, keyboard and now trackpad just can't live without. I love it. And my 10.9 inch iPad slipped right into the holder side. It's just perfect. It's a little bit of a learning curve with the function keys and trackpad but all makes it better.
Sharifah
It's very nice and functional, and not to mention 1/3 of Apple's Magic Keyboard price. However, it is a little bit heavy.
Katie T.
Literally dropped my ipad on a set of concrete stairs the day I put it in this case. Case took some cosmetic damage but the ipad is fine. Keyboard works well, only down side is it “goes to sleep” frequently and takes a second to wake up. Touch pad is easy to use, and keyboard feels nice to type on. The keyboard is actually roomier than I expected for the size, though if you have large hands you might feel cramped. Battery also lasts forever if you leave the backlight off!
Mickayla
Connects quickly and stays connected to the ipad. It also clicks into the case securely and turns in all positions love it!
MAC
Perfect fit for my iPad. Great color. (I got the lavender.) This one allows me to move it/use it in many ways. Keyboard is MUCH better than my former ones. This one is very responsive with a very good feel to the keys. Like it a lot! Price is quite reasonable compared to others. Relatively light weight overall.
Carol OBrien
When you granddaughter smiles every time she uses it!
Citizen Detective
Exceeded my expectations. The bottom keyboard is lighter than the iPad “screen” which is a little annoying but that’s fine. The blue color perfectly matches the apple blue.
J. Jade Adair
I didn’t actually use the keyboard so I can’t speak to its functionality. But it looks and feels high quality and fit my ipad air 11” (2024) perfectly. Unfortunately the “purple” was just not quite purple enough. More a plum/dark magenta color. Not bad if that’s the color you want but I returned it as I have no interest in that color. I’m going to try out the lilac purple one and see how I like it, hopefully that’ll be 5 stars.

I as very pleased with this iPad purchase. It does everything that my phone does and more and it much better on my eyes. It the perfect size to take on the go.

I got this case for my 2024 iPad Air M2 11" and I'm very happy with it. It basically turns my iPad into a laptop. A few things to mention for people who might be having issues.
1. I can easily remove the iPad from the case if I push the iPad toward the hinge, then slip the corners off. At first I couldn't get the iPad out of the case and I saw reviews on here saying you couldn't, but I figured this out and wanted to share.
2. You can turn off the touch pad by pressing ctrl+right option (the right option key has a touch pad icon with a line going through it). Often I find the touch pad annoying, so it's handy to be able to turn it off easily.
Jeff
Fit iPad Air perfectly. Like the flexibility. Keyboard lights up nice and has a good feel. The track pad works great, but not a fan of the click when using it to hit enter. I would buy again.
Maria
Very easy to type
very easy Connect
Very easy to used and also the battery last long
Christina Bautista
I fell in love with this product! The color, the protection, and the performance and functionality are perfect for how I use my IPad Air! It was a gift and I am very grateful to have it. It’s perfect!
c johnson
I bought a black case...that's my usual color...No chance did that fit...but reading another review they had the same problem but ordered a green one....
So I ordered a blue one...few extra bucks...It Fits!...
I have a M2 Air I just got.

I loved this keyboard case. But it was too heavy. I returned it.
PinkSz
Wasn’t my first choice I tried 3 before this one and it has all the qualities you would want in a tablet case I love the laptop mode the tablet mode very versatile and I’m happy toooo I got the purple because it was the only one with same day shipping at the time lol but the color is nice tooo
Kathy F
This is the second case I’ve bought; the first one lasted about 18 months, with significant use. I need the screen to be able to swivel and go flat at times is why I bought this in the first place. I also liked that the Apple Pencil could be secured better for transport; pulling the case in and out of a bag would knock my Apple Pencil too easily off the original Apple case. I needed to buy this second unit because the original screen could no longer stand up on its own, it would just flop over, and the leather pencil holder has also stretched, so it doesn’t secure the pencil as well. Wow, what a difference…new one is very tight, snug and secure!
Amazon Customer
I cannot express how much I love this case. I had the Magic Keyboard prior to buying this case but my main concern was that I couldn’t easily rotate it and make it flat for note taking. I like the options that you get when selecting this case. I don’t picture myself using another case ever… unless I had to replace it with a newer one. The keyboard takes a
Couple seconds to turn on but it’s not long enough to make a fuss plus you can make the key board light up and switch colors. It’s honestly just amazing
M Davis
Needed new keyboard style cases for our new IPad Air latest generation that we received as gifts. I got one for myself (purple) and one for my husband. The ipad fits in perfectly and there’s a tab for holding your pencil. Also the top is great for charging the pencil. The touchpad was new for me but it’s easy to use although on occasion when typing my palm hits the touchpad so it changes the screen. The backlit keyboard to me is a big plus. The keys are easy to use and have a nice touch to them. All in all I’m quite pleased with the case.
Kat
So far this is a great keyboard case for my ipad
BoyMom2
This is sturdy and well-made. It is easy to use, the keyboard touch is perfect, and the swivel screen provides versatility. The touch screen works well also. It is a bit weightier than non-keyboard cases, but it is certainly worth it.
Happy shopper
Exactly what I wanted. The only thing is if I have it on my lap it is a little top heavy and tends to fall backward. Doesn’t seem to do that on a table though.
Blank Reviews
There are a lot of things to like about this keyboard case. The trackpad is a nice addition as not all keyboard cases come equipped with one. It really makes your IPad equivalent to a laptop. It fit my Ipad Air perfectly and installation was simple to accomplish. The case feels durable and quality made - sure to protect the IPad in the event that it sustains a fall. However, it's not as protective as some of the more heavy duty cases, so it might not provide the highest level of protection available. The backlighting is a nice addition and allows you to see the keys easily in the event you're typing in the dark. Overall, a solid case for the price that improves the functionality of your laptop.
Michael C. Lane
Great solid case. A bit heavy though. The keyboard is cool, and a nice touch. I haven't used it enough yet to comment on how it operates.
E Serrato
This makes note taking so much easier
Gabby
I would recommend the keyboard case to anyone, the battery lasts long and it is very durable. The keyboard is easy to use and I love the 360 rotation feature.
Candid Beauty Insights
This case in an absolute game changer for my iPad Pro 11. I get so much more work done than using the on screen keyboard or even the Apple Pencil. It essentially turns your iPad into a mini keyboard but more portable and light. The color changing keyboard has a dazzling array of color options and a breathing colors setting that showcases all 10 colors. The battery life is also outstanding, and I simply charge it when I charge my iPad, so it’s impossible to forget. The keys type smoothly with no delay and it automatically turns on when I open the case (not all iPad keyboard cases do this). I did not think I’d necessarily use the touch pad much, but I was wrong, it is hugely convenient when my hands are on the keyboard. I’ve also noticed my screen is much cleaner since I prefer to use the touch pad. The one negative is if you are not careful, the outside of the case can get scratches. I threw it into my luggage and got a single scratch across the case, however, since it’s black it doesn’t look too noticeable. I have tried multiple keyboard cases and this definitely takes the cake in terms of features and aesthetic!

My husband wasn’t using his iPad Air (5th gen) anymore as he now reads more from his fold4, but the expensive magic keyboard that he bought with it a while back was nice, but it was just so heavy. And I just felt so limited in the angles it could give me. When I want to read in portrait, I have to take it off the keyboard case, and it just gets tedious fast having to deal with two separate products most of the time. I was coloring in portrait when I had to type a long email that I needed to fetch the keyboard from the 2nd floor (what a first-world problem, embarrassing i know lol). But there had to be a better way. This keyboard case just solved all my issues.
The packaging was so nice and high-quality that it almost felt like i was unboxing an apple device. The build quality feels premium in my opinion. The hinge feels very nice, and I’m honestly so surprised that it doesn’t even feel loose when I shake the screen back and forth. Some expensive laptops have more wiggle and shake than this product. Typing feels so satisfying on this that you have to just try it to see what I mean. Perfect travel and tactile feedback for me. The backlighting is also such a nice feature. There’s no letter without light. Just that the very top row seems slightly brighter than the rest at some angles.
My favorite part is I can now fold this so it’s still all connected as one device, so I can use the portrait mode however I’d like. I’ve had this for about a month, and I fold and twist many times a day, and there’s no noticeable difference with the hinge or anything…
I have an apple pencil that I do place in the loop, and I like that they didn’t make an attached holder in the case as I think that would have made it feel bulky for me. If you also never need the loop, I think you can just cut it.
One con for me is that I think if I try to remove the ipad from the case, I’ll just break something, and that will be the last time I use this case. It’s. just. so. difficult. to. remove. My first attempt has been my last so far. I didn’t go through with it because I didn’t want to break this.
And a mild complaint… Although a light indicator (red for charging, green for done charging) is nice, I wish there was a battery indicator on the case as well.
i have not tested the gestures as it’s not necessary for me, but overall, I could not be happier with this keyboard case, and I will now always consider this brand for future products.
Suzanne925
I’m very pleased overall, but I wish the bottom had some texture so it wouldn’t be as slippery. Used it for a recent trip and couldn’t be happier. Couldn’t be easier to set up.
Sea Raven
I got this case to replace my previously worn out case that was similar. I had spilled water on it and a few buttons didn't work. I expected something similar but was a little disappointed. The plastic was much lighter and not as sturdy. The outside is smooth and I could easily drop it. It does work well and it fit perfectly. I was just disappointed by the overall quality. If I didn't have a better one initially, I would not have noticed the difference. I would still recommend it if you need an economic case with a keyboard.
Angela
I got a year worth before the numbers and letters started popping off. So pretty much I got my moneys worth. Even when I took good care of it. Smh.
Artiles
I originally ordered this for the newer generation of iPad. And that was my mistake. When I noticed that I was hard to get the iPad out of it, I checked the compatible models and realized my mistake. Then I decided to try it with my iPad Pro 11" 1st Generation and it is a perfect fit. I like that it gives the iPad a Laptop feel and look. It feels like an upgrade. The keyboard as expected it's not like an Apple Magic Keyboard, but it works perfectly fine. The quality feels like a normal laptop that is not MacBook. And the price is really great. Excellent angles. And it is built strong, so it would protect the iPad from a fall. I put an Apple Sticker in the back of it and use it proudly.
Amazon customer
This keyboard is really NICE! I seen a couple of reviews saying the keyboard doesn’t fit for iPad Air 5th generation. That’s A LIE. Mine fit perfectly, please DONT listen to the reviews saying it doesn’t fit. Just watch the video that’s posted for directions on how to place your iPad in the keyboard. And also make sure you look on the back of your iPad for the model number and scroll down to the product page to make sure you buy the CORRECT keyboard that will fit your iPad. Best keyboard EVER for the iPad. It is wayyy better than the expensive keyboard that Apple offers.
midwest75
This keyboard iPad case fits my 5th gen iPad perfectly. The keyboard works great. The keys are responsive and feel like it's a laptop. The keyboard is backlit. The case has to be charged separately from the iPad though. That is a con as well as the overall weight that it adds to the iPad. I expected some extra bulk but it adds more than just a bit. It is also very stiff to open. I'm assuming this will loosen up over time. I like that you can still configure the case to just have the iPad visible for writing on it with an Apple Pen. It does provide a lot of options for viewing the iPad from different angles or configurations.
Brett Combs
I recently order and received this new keyboard case for my iPad Air. It has led to a notable improvement in my daily usage. For those considering a similar purchase, it's essential to verify that this case is compatible with your specific Apple model.
The case's fit is exceptional, ensuring a secure and exact fit for my device. The trackpad feature is a major plus, providing a level of efficiency reminds me of a laptop. It supports various gestures, making my editing and web browsing tasks significantly smoother.
The affordability of this case is a standout feature. It offers high quality at a reasonable price, representing excellent value for the investment.
Moreover, the case's smart features impress. It offers solid protection on all sides of my tablet, and the auto sleep/wake function smartly saves battery life. I am able to use the fingerprint scanner without any issues. The inclusion of a stylus holder is a practical touch, keeping my stylus always within reach.
The versatility of the case is another significant benefit. Its durable 360° hinge makes it easy to switch between modes, be it for typing, video watching, or just using the tablet by itself.
The keyboard, with its ten different backlit colors, isn't just practical; it adds a stylish touch to my tablet setup, facilitating typing in lower light conditions. The seamless integration of iPadOS shortcuts enhances the navigation experience. There is a shortcut list of all the gesture and keyboard shortcuts which was a unexpected addition to the documentation.
This keyboard case has been a cost-effective and significant enhancement to my tablet, boosting both my efficiency and enjoyment in using my iPad. It's important to remember to ensure compatibility with your tablet model when considering this upgrade.
Dana Gasser
The keyboard and touch pad is amazing. The setup was extremely easy and works in everyway as I expected. I've had keyboard units before and this one is now my favorite. The added touchpad is SOOOO nice to have. I don't think I'll ever go back to just the IPAD.
dustin adams
I actually like this case a lot because it feels like there's some decent protection when the case is folded shut. It may also take a few minutes getting used to the way it opens and rotates around if you're using only the tablet, but I actually like this better than most designs. This folds open like a traditional laptop and then the screen swivels around to fold it back down so the keys remain on the inside of the fold not on the back where your fingers are holding the tablet. In my opinion this is much easier to hold on to and use, but I worry about how sturdy the rotating hinge will be over time. It connected very easily to Bluetooth and seamlessly connects every time you turn the device on without any need to go back to the settings.
WooHoo
Nice quality product. Love the backlighting on the keyboard. the pivot is sturdy and works well. My only dislikes is it is a bit heavy. just about the same as the ipad. Keys have a nice feel and the trackpad works well with IOS. My only wish is that the ipad either came out of the case easier or that the top part detached . When I use the ipad for reading it is a little heavy.
BusyBee
I am really pleased with this case and keyboard, the touch pad is a great feature and works well, the keyboard is great, very responsive, quiet and paired very easily.
Charge on the keyboard seems to last several days without needing another charge. Just be sure to turn on and off when not using.
The overall quality of the item is great in my opinion, it opens and closes well, while the plastic isn't super thick it is actually quite a strong material and I am not anticipating any breakage.
Best of all, while it does add weight to the ipad, its not too heavy and I am able to use my ipad with the keyboard tucked underneath it.
My apple pencil stays attached to the top of my ipad, the case doesn't interfere with that at all. I pop the pencil in the little loop on the side of the case when I have it in my bag and it fits snuggly (no falling out)
I think the price of this case is comparable with others out there, but its way better than the case my husband currently has (name brand ) which cost more :D I Like this one more!
Molly Jane
I got this because I was thinking about getting a little Chromebook or something that I can use instead of my MacBook, because it's having issues with the charging port and unplugging it is not ideal. Thankfully, first I saw this and decided I would try it with my iPad instead. And I am SO GLAD I did. This thing is exactly what I wanted. It fits right on my iPad and easily paired with Bluetooth. It's sturdy and the keyboard has enough heft that the iPad can be up without tipping the whole thing over. The keys are nice and I have no problem using them at all, and I'm kind of a keyboard snob. They are also backlit which is SO NCIE (my MacBook doesn't even have that) and the colors even change. The only downside is that it drains the battery pretty fast, but I usually am near enough to an outlet it's not a big deal. If you're in the same kind of predicament that I was in, you NEED THIS.
Kale
If you are looking for a keyboard case that makes your iPad feel like a laptop with a full range of motion then this might be the one for you. I was honestly very surprised when this arrived. The packaging was actually quite premium and laid out setup very easily.
The keyboard is nice and easy to type on. It is true to the Apple keyboard layout. The keys are nearly identical in size to that of the Logitech Combo Touch. I like that you can change the colors of the backlit keys.
The hing is phenomenal. The range of motion is amazing and the hinge is stiff. It truly enables you to use your iPad like a laptop.
The one thing I did not love about this was the plastic material used for this case. While the case is functional, the plastic just feels a bit cheap and thin. It does not give a premium feel in terms of weight or to the touch. I think for this reason it could be a bit cheaper in price. It would be better if it were made of a premium aluminum, or the soft rubber used on Magic Keyboard for iPad. I also wish there was a soft backing where the iPad rests inside of the case.
Overall, however, I was truly surprised by the functionality and performance of this keyboard case.
Mark Kraus
I’m sure personal preference is a major factor, but I really like how much this case makes my iPad feel like a small laptop. The case is solid and holds everything in place. The keyboard doesn’t feel that much smaller than a standard laptop keyboard and the “mouse” pad is in the same spot as my work laptop. The screen/iPad stays exactly where I want it to; no falling over or slowly sliding down. It’s definitely lighter than my work laptop, making it easier to travel with it and work with it in my lap. Of all the cases I have tried out in the past, this one truly can transform my iPad into a mini laptop and then simply back to a tablet again.
Just Me
This case is solidly built, but has made my iPad cumbersome to use. It has taken a light device and made it into a brick. I love the backlit keys and the ease of use, but the weight bugs me too much to keep using it. If they made it easier to pop the tablet in and out I might use it occasionally, but the plastic is so rigid it is extremely difficult to get it back out. If you don’t mind the weight it is a fantastic keyboard case. The ability to rotate the screen is a huge plus.
White Chocolate
This case lets you transform your iPad Air into a much more productive device. While they are perfectly capable of being useful just in tablet mode, this case lets you transform it into a mini laptop of sorts. It securely holds the screen in place and allows you adjust it to a great angle. The keyboard is backlight, and trackpad lets you navigate and the dedicated top row of iOS keys let you do things like turn up the volume quickly. Feels well built. Slim so it can easily slip into a briefcase or backpack. Great for a college student to use as well.
Thomas
This case does a pretty good job of turning an iPad into something resembling a small laptop. The keyboard has a fairly good feel, with good backlighting, and the touchpad is accurate, with good gesture support. The ability to rotate the iPad is useful, especially for using it in the normal tablet form without taking it out of the case. The Pencil loop is also nice for cases where magnetic attachment isn’t sufficient.
On the negative side, the keyboard doesn’t seem to have any way to type Esc or Function key combinations. For iPad apps, neither matters, but if you use any sort of terminal app on iOS, e.g., for connecting to other systems with ssh or for local coding, or use Microsoft Remote Desktop to access a PC remotely, the keyboard will be inadequate. A lot of keyboards use an Fn key in combination with the top row of keys for Esc and Function keys, but using the Globe key (which is also Fn on MacBooks) doesn’t do that on this one.
Another minor negative is that the plastic feels a little bit cheap, relative to other cases from the same brand that I’ve used before.
Regarding the overall design, I prefer cases with detachable keyboards to the rotating style of this one, but that’s a matter of preference. An example is the typecase Folio series.
Overall, the keyboard issue makes this case unusable for me, but for people who don’t need Esc or Function keys, it’s probably fine.
Blake Sinnett
This case pretty much turns your iPad into a two-in-one laptop. I got it to speed up my workflow significantly for Logic Pro. It definitely doesn't disappoint in that regard.
The keyboard is fairly decent to type on. I wish you could just tap the trackpad in order to click on something. Having to actually click it can be loud if you're in a quiet environment. The lighting aspect is pretty cool. There are plenty of colors to choose from. Also, this case is a smart case. The iPad shuts off when you close it and turns on when you open it.
I love how you can turn the iPad portion around and fold it flat over the keyboard, or stand it in a tent configuration. The apple pencil holder is nice, but it doesn't work with my pencil because I have a rubber cover on it. It would have been nice if they made it a bit more stretchy. It's not too big of a deal though. I'm not sure how you would use the back camera in this case, but the cutout is there if you need it.
All in all, a pretty good keyboard case for the price. If you think a keyboard and trackpad would enhance your productivity, give this case a try.

Update*** I have been using this keyboard case now for nearly two years, multiple times a day, and it still works flawlessly. Still a 5 star product!
This keyboard case for an iPad 10.9" 4th and 5th generation models is sturdy, and protects the ipad very well. The keyboard is backlit, and you can change the colors of the lights. It connects to the tablet via bluetooth. You can swivel the ipad around and fold it closed to hold it like you would without the case for tight places like on a plane. The lid is a little stiff to open which concerned me until I put the tablet in, then it became solid. It will take some getting used to using it though. It feels like a laptop, but of course the tablet works differently. I forget I'm on the tablet and try to use it like a laptop. It'll just take time. Now keep in mind that the keyboard case has a battery and needs to be kept charge like your tablet does, so now you're charging two devices instead of one.
Shayla
This case is absolutely perfect for writing! Turns my iPad Air into a mini laptop and is so cute with the light up colors on the keyboard. The only thing is you have to learn that this keyboard is good for just a slight tap - you don’t need to heavily press the touchpad to click something. That’s the only learning curve there is but other than that, it’s absolutely perfect and I would recommend this to everyone.

I’ve been an iPad user since they were introduced and found this an interesting option to the Apple keyboard.
I find it to be a high-quality item that fits my iPad Air 4 perfectly.
Everything works as advertised, and the backlit keys are great. The trackpad is also an interesting addition that works well.
However, it’s just not for me as I’m more comfortable using my iPad the old school way. I also didn’t like that I now had to charge 2 items rather than 1.
If someone is looking to use their iPad more like a laptop, I really think that this is a great item.

Works as advertised.

First - a big shout out to whoever designed the box packaging: it's first-rate. So much so, that when you extract the actual keyboard from the packaging (you know...the part that you actually pay for...) it disappoints a little because it's such a light plastic.
Pros: It works well. The Bluetooth immediately fired up and I had no problems getting it operational. The keyboard has a very nice feel to it (which is not always easy to find).
Cons: Opening the section that holds the monitor and unfolding it from the keyboard is very stiff. And, because it's designed to swivel around, that junction feels very weak (and vulnerable). It doesn't feel strong enough to last - but maybe that's just my first impression. Either way - I felt a need to 'baby' it some so it didn't break - especially when I opened and closed it.

Nice sturdy case that allowed me to turn my iPad into a little computer. Easy to use, the only downfall is that removing my iPad from the case, I thought I might break the clips that held it in place.

The only negative is that you must charge this keyboard. But it holds a charge for about a week. It’s otherwise perfect . Easy to use and change accessibility shortcuts . Best purchase I’ve made .

I was hoping for something a little lighter but it’s a bit heavy and bulky. Feels like an actual laptop with my iPad in it. The keyboard works really well and the color is very pretty. I love how I can turn the screen to close it over the buttons so I’m not pressing them. I have not had to charge the battery on the keyboard yet and I use it all the time. It’s really a great case;)

This is by far the best iPad case I could even dream of. It’s not a knock off for sure. It’s fairly simple to clean as well as the keys on the keyboard light up like a gaming computer. The charging station is on the side it’s the simple android charger usbc. The connectivity is not glitchy while I’m the keyboard. And it was all pretty a simple just pop your iPad in and call it a day.

I’m thankful for this case, but the only thing I would have hoped to see was a wider keyboard, but it’s not a make or break. Charge is decent, but I can be confident it’ll keep my ipad safe.

I use it during my training and its a game-changer.

I ordered this product a few months ago, its honesty a great buy. The keyboard has a GREAT BATTERY LIFE. I haven’t charged it since i got it. My favorite thing is that the keyboard has LED lights so you can type at night, very light and has a slick design. The only down fall is the apple pen holder. I feel like the pen holder should be on top so the pen can charge. If you do not want to type you can also swivel it around and it’s a stand to watch movies or if you are on a call. They also have different colors that you can choose from. Overall great product.

I had an older (2020) version and a couple keys simply wouldn’t work. It was well out of warranty, however the company offered me 20% off the new version. It’s amazing. Keys are lit up. Battery lasts forever and the biggest upgrade is the touchpad mouse. I rarely touch the screen on my iPad anymore. Highly recommend!

Fit my wife’s iPad perfectly and has been working since the day I bought it. No complaints at all

Very unique case. I like not having to use the keyboard but there if needed and hidden when not.

This is a good keyboard for iPad Air. It feels natural like a computer keyboard. My fingers don’t accidently hit the wrong keys. It pairs easy and looks nice.

Very happy with this keyboard for my iPad Air. Not an Apple experience using the keyboard, but it works fine. Just a bit noisy and requires a firm touch on the keys. Everything else about it works flawlessly.
