iPad Pro 11 Keyboard Case 2018 (Not for iPad Pro 11 2020)- Wireless/BT - Auto Sleep Wake - Super Thin & Light - Magnetic Smart Keyboard Folio Cover with for iPad Pro 11 Case with Keyboard 2018

I bought this case for my 11 inch iPad Pro after almost exhaustive searching since I am unwilling to pay the much overpriced case from Apple ($179) but like the design of the Apple case. This case is a very nice alternative. It is overall pleasant and easy to use. After using it for nearly two weeks, below are the pros and cons compared to the Apple case:Pros:- Better looking. The case is pretty with fabric looking cover, much nicer than the plain, plastic looking Apple case.- Better response of the keys. Because the keyboard is a little thinker, the keys are little more bouncy so the typing is easier than the Apple case.- The price is so much better!- The seller is super responsive and helpful (although this is not a part of "Product")Cons:- It is a little heavy (0.88 lb) compare to the Apple case (0.65 lb).- It requires blue tooth pairing at the beginning which is not necessary for the Apple case. The pairing is however quite easy and straightforward. Hint: the keyboard should be well charged before pairing (i.e., the blue light shows bright color when trying to pair); otherwise it won't pair.- The included charge cable is a slow cable. It takes much longer to charge the keyboard than using my iPad charge cable.Overall I have been enjoying using this keyboard case, which has motivated me to use my iPad more frequently :)

I've been using this daily for about 2 months and there's little to dislike about it. The magnetic attachment holds on to the iPad Pro 11 very well, though it can separate if I'm not careful lifting the back with the iPad attached to open it. Sort of need to make sure to lift with the iPad and not just the lip of the cover. There's only 2 viewing angles and I've had a couple of situations where neither was ideal, but the most vertical position works well for desktop use.Battery life is very good- I think I've charged it 2 or 3 times so far. It does auto sleep and one tap of the spacebar (or any key) will wake the keyboard, second tap will wake the iPad, if FaceID sees you, a third tap will clear the lock screen and take you to whatever you were doing last on the iPad.The keyboard is a little cramped, but that's unavoidable considering the width of the iPad and so far I've been able to adapt just fine. Keys are hard, flat plastic with no contouring, but there are orientation bumps on the F and J keys. Typing is a little noisy, but not much worse than other keyboards. Travel is fine.I did not think I was going to like the exterior material and pattern, but it's okay and looks perfectly professional. It has a subtle texture which helps with grip and does not show fingerprints. Apple Pencil stays attached open or closed. When closed, it does not add that much extra thickness over a non-keyboard style magnetic case.The only real downside is that the front corners of the keyboard part curl slightly upward and don't sit flat to a surface. It's been like this since new and I don't think it's getting worse. It's more of an aesthetic bother than a functional issue.

Yeah, I knew going in that this was a knock-off version of the slim, graceful and much higher-priced priced Apple version. So I went in with some misgivings... but for the most part it exceeds my expectations. Very slim, the magnet holds the iPad fairly tightly (I’d sure hate for the iPad to slip out of the case and onto the floor), nice looking too. Not much edge or corner protection, so it’s a good case if you aren’t too rough on your iPad in general.The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the keyboard. They are small “chicklet” style keys with tall action. Coming from a Logitech keyboard on my old iPad, I cannot type anywhere near as fast or accurately with this keyboard on my new iPad. The frustrating thing is - there is still real estate available on the keyboard tray so they COULD have used larger, more natural keys, Oh well, I’ll try to learn to get used to typing on these after a while. Other than that, so far so good!

After purchasing an iPad Pro 11 I started looking for a good case. I keep my iPad in my padded backpack so I don’t need a lot of extra protection. My priorities were light, thin and easy to detach. Of all the cases I tried, bought and/or returned this is the one I’m sticking with. I regret even purchasing a folio cover because I don’t see why I’d ever use it again now. This case is very light and when closed over the iPad, you could hardly tell there’s anything there other than a folio case. If you want a Bluetooth folio keyboard in the style of Apple’s folio keyboard without spending what Apple would charge you or dealing with the fabric bubbles, I don’t know of any other options.Bluetooth has been fairly consistent. Occasionally I’ve had to close the cover and reopen to reconnect or even resync, but it has not happened too often. Auto-shut off when the cover is flipped backward works well. Battery life seems good. I go weeks before occasionally plugging it in. I love that it’s also USB-C!These keys are not backlit — I do miss that sometimes. The 2 angles work well. What I really like about the keyboard is how securely the whole thing locks into place magnetically when I pull it out to do some work. I have the LTE version and am just loving how quickly I can connect when I have a few minutes, do productive work, and break down/pack it away when I need to go. There is one other keyboard I debated trying over this one. It is backlight with a wider keybase, but when I look at customer photos I see that it is quite a bit thicker when all folded up. And this one looks and feels barely any thicker than the magnetic folio cover.If I could ask for anything, I wish the keys were just a little bit bigger and substantial. They feel a little cheap and since they don’t go to the edge of the cover, they seem smaller than they need to be. I’m looking at my iPad mini 2’s zagg keyboard and my iPad mini 4’s ClamCase pro, and I’m puzzled as their keyboards feel so much roomy and substantial despite taking up a much smaller footprint. Odd, but the keys are working well and my typing speed after a couple minute’s adjustment hasn’t taken much of a hit.
