Edge Magic-Style Magnetic Keyboard Case for iPad Air 13/Pro 12.9

I have used an older version of this case for a number of years, and my only complaint about it was the constant need to turn off the touchpad every time it woke up. More on that below. This case/keyboard is solid, and for some that means heavy. The weight helps stabilize the thing with an iPad attached, and the double-hinge design places the iPad weight a bit forward, which also helps stability. You probably won't poke this over backward. I mention that because I've had case/keyboards where the iPad leans back from the bottom and rests on a support that doesn't even come halfway up the iPad's back. And several times I lost control of the iPad and it crashed to the floor. That's why I was looking only at the double-hinge designs like this one. The keys have a nice feel, and the backlighting is fine (just like the older version). There is a forward-delete key above the backspace key, and for me that's a bit of a requirement, too. There are key combinations for many functions, and you get key-combo help on whatever app you're in. And, there are key combos for a selection of common Greek symbols, if you use those much. There is a little key-combo cheat sheet to the left of the trackpad, but I have to admit that it's too small and dim for my eyes. Also, the instruction booklet lists all of the key combos, but the print in the instruction book is too small for me to read unaided. That's common these days. Anyway, bottom line is that I like the keyboard in my required double-hinge configuration, and I'm happy with the purchase. Some people worry about the magnet strength. Make sure your iPad fits; mine's a 12.9 with no other case on its back. I will say that before you close the iPad down on the keyboard, you should push it back to its furthest reach. If you don't, it might knock the iPad loose from the magnetic back. It's not that the mags are weak, but it's the leverage you apply if there isn't sufficient room to close it down. Now let me carp a bit about the touchpad. I know some people live on the touchpad, but I'd prefer that it not be there at all. But every case/keyboard of this type [double-hinged] has a trackpad, and some of them have no way to disable it. Apparently, most people are not interested in disabling the trackpad as a feature, because in all the product descriptions and the glossy advert material it's never mentioned. So, I asked Amazon-world if it was possible. No users responded, but the manufacturer did! Yes, it can be disabled. It's now an fn- function, whereas before it was its own key in the right-option position. The rep even took a reply and responded a second time, so I was happy with that interaction. The trackpad does seem to recede when I'm typing even if I haven't disabled it. The disabling seems to last longer now, too. Note: AMAZON FEEDBACK: The first time I ordered this, the wrong product was sent. I simply returned it, saying it was not what I had ordered. I immediately ordered another, this time it was right. Love it, 5 stars. AMZ issued a refund for the first, but later informed me that they'd reverse the refund because I had not returned the correct item. They provided no means of communication, and the chat bot didn't understand. I gave up, so in effect I bought this item twice just to get one. I wish I knew what to do if Amazon delivers the wrong item. Just returning it doesn't work.

Upon receiving my typecase I was very disappointed because I failed to realize that these types of cases did not allow for flat ipad usage. I take lots of notes with my apple pencil as a college student, and so I need to be able to use my ipad as a notebook, but also as a laptop since I don’t have one. I looked up the apple-branded magic keyboard case only to find that it had the same design flaw. Despite this, I kept the case and do not regret doing so. It is a bit pricey, but nothing compared to apple’s concoction. I think it is well worth it. I had a cheap case with a keyboard that was detachable that cost around 30 dollars, and none of the essential shortcuts or function keys worked, which was insanely frustrating. The trackpad was also absolutely terrible, so I went looking for a better, lighter, and cuter way of protecting my ipad while still having a keyboard and i stumbled upon this. The magnet is insanely strong- I struggle to pull the ipad off with just one hand, so there is no need to worry about it sliding off. Typing feels rewarding, all keys are functional and it comes with a handy manual of all available shortcuts. Not to mention, the case is very aesthetically pleasing. I bought it in pink and was delighted to find that the RGB lighting also had a light pink option compared to the typical hot pink. The trackpad was what really sold it for me- it is so smooth compared to the cheap 30, 40 dollar junk you get and does not frustrate you with skipping or freezing. It is also very stable, I’ve used it in my lap and on my bed with 0 problems. It also has a slip for your apple pencil, which is convenient, because sometimes you want to store it without having to attach it to your ipad and therefore draining your battery. Overall, an outstanding purchase I would recommend if you want something as good as the apple magic keyboard without the price tag.

I realize that This is not an Apple ‘magic’ keyboard, but INITIALLY it seemed like a good substitute..However, in the touch pad on the keyboard is wonky and the cursor is bulky; a big grey dot that hides what I am Trying to select. I got over that. However, the MOST troubling feature of this Folio Keyboard is the fact that the magnet which is supposed to hold the iPad (Pro 12.9’” generation 6) securely in place on the top half of the folio, is totally inadequate to the task. It spontaneously releases the device. I mean that the ipad just drops off of the mount. This happens repeatedly and unexpectedly, during use, with potentially disastrous results. IMO, this is either a defect or a design flaw, for which the manufacturer had neither remedy nor explanation over a series of inquiries and lengthy messages from me concerning the exact details. They even required that i submit my ipad serial # to verify that i had ordered the correct folio for my device. When it was confirmed to be the correct one, they made other excuses and finally i got fed up and returned it after it released my ipad and dumped it on the floor. This folio has the potential to be a nice product, but it requires a couple of major fixes to become that. Until and unless they improve the strength in the magnet, its not worth taking a chance of serious damage to your ipad. Last but not least, the folio device doesn’t charge the ipad through the magnetic contact when it charges. This means that the iPad must be charged separately, and the folio keyboard didn’t come with a charger, so you can’t charge them simultaneously. Although the folio battery seems to last longer than the iPad, battery , there is no indicator of folio charge% or any other useful battery info, so I just charged them both every day or 2. I really do wish they had made it so that it would just charge both while in contact with the IPad . I bought another charger for it, This necessity for redundancy is quite inconvenient, especially when there is only one accessible AC outlet In the end, i returned this keyboard and bought an “open box” Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro. It is a far superior product. The magnet does its job without fail, the USBC connection charges through to the ipad simultaneously, the keys have better action, and the touchpad is much better. And, the price was comparable.

I absolutely loooove this new case for my iPad. It fits perfectly and is easy to remove with the magnetic back. It has great quality and looks very well made. The case and keyboard are easy to clean and charges quickly. The typing feels great and the keys press easily. The case feels sturdy and I feel it gives good protection. Definitely recommended it and the price is worth the product you get.

As described. Sturdy, good magnet. Easy keyboard. Many features. Battery life good. Would highly recommend

If you’re trying to decide between the Magic Keyboard and this case, you should definitely read this. I have an 12.9-inch iPad Pro M1, and it has become my primary device, even though I also own an iPhone 17 Pro and a 16-inch MacBook Pro. I prefer iPadOS because of the app ecosystem. Even when some apps are just scaled-up iPhone versions, they’re often much more efficient than their clunkier macOS counterparts. I’m what most people would consider a power user. I own a marketing agency, so opening apps quickly, multitasking, and typing efficiently are all priorities. Editing apps on iPadOS have also become incredibly powerful over the last few years. I own both Apple’s Magic Keyboard and the Edge Keyboard Case. My Magic Keyboard has lasted about five years and still works perfectly, but it’s starting to fall apart cosmetically. That isn’t ideal when I’m meeting with clients. After doing a lot of research on the Edge Keyboard Case, I decided to give it a try because it’s almost $250 less expensive than the Magic Keyboard. Unfortunately, my first unit was disappointing. The trackpad was clumsy, frequently registered movements it shouldn’t have, wouldn’t hold a charge, and the trackpad itself didn’t physically click and would occasionally get stuck. I returned it and requested a replacement. The second unit was much better, but the responsiveness still isn’t on the same level as the Magic Keyboard. The trackpad is less precise, and everything just feels a little slower. So who is this keyboard for? If you primarily use your iPad for email, social media, streaming, web browsing, and the occasional document or spreadsheet, I think it’s a great value and absolutely worth considering. However, if you’re a power user who relies on your iPad for work and needs everything to happen quickly and efficiently, this keyboard will slow you down. In fact, I’m typing this review on my old Magic Keyboard that’s literally falling apart because it’s still noticeably faster and more responsive. One area where the Edge Keyboard Case does excel is protection. It’s sturdy, feels durable, and offers good drop protection. The tradeoff is that it adds a significant amount of weight to the iPad. Ironically, while using the Edge Keyboard Case, I found myself reaching for my MacBook more often because I could simply get my work done faster. For me, that’s ultimately why I went back to the Magic Keyboard despite its worn appearance.

I wasn't sure if a keyboard case would make a big difference, but now I can't imagine using my iPad without it. The typing experience is excellent, and the trackpad makes multitasking simple. The case itself is protective and well made. It feels like I turned my iPad into a full laptop setup.

Bought this for my brand new slim iPad about 7 months ago. My first time to use a keyboard with my ipad. This is a protective case which is one reason I bought it. I like the backlit keyboard but wish the keys were lit so I can see them while typing in dark areas. The backlight feature is neat as you can choose from several colors. The magnet works perfectly fine. So far no issues with it failing. It is pretty beefy magnet. Seems good ergonomically and so far no issues with typing other than the keys do not light up. It fits my ipad perfectly. I would not want to drop this unit. I do not know if it would survive a drop. iPad would but not the keyboard but I could be wrong. The thing I hate about it is that it is HEAVY. But I guess that is the compromise. The Bluetooth feature is kind of pain. It is not automatic. You have to push the connect button on the keyboard most likely to preserve the battery. I have used the keyboard all day without running out of juice. It does NOT charge your IPad. You have two cables. One for the keyboard and one for the IPad. It comes with ONE USB to c cable . I bought a special charging plug for it that has USB and C. If I had to buy again, I would find a lighter weight one with illuminated keyboard and automatic bluetooth. Other than that it is a good product for the price. One last thing, Seems that heat from the keyboard discolored the bottom of the keyboard. Not a big deal. It did not feel warm so I am not sure why it discolored right in the middle. Cant see it unless you flip it over.

Pros: Funda magnética con teclado retroiluminado para iPad Pro 12.9, diseño delgado y elegante, conexión magnética segura, retroiluminación ajustable, protección integral. Contras: Precio puede ser alto, posible adición de peso, teclado puede ser compacto para algunos usuarios.

Using the keyboard to type my review. Love everything about it. I had a question and the customer service was prompt and accurate. IPad is easy to remove as needed and reinstallation is equally easy.

Works seamlessly with my Gen 4 12.9” iPad Pro. Love the key board lights and the connectivity . It’s a bit heavier than my original Apple key pad . It’s okay though. …..

Belle couleur et il va tres bien !

Great quality product. For the price it is perfect. Sometimes the trackpad can be a little bit difficult to us. But the keyboard is over my expectation
