Backlit Keyboard Case for iPad 9.7 in 2018/2017/Air - Detachable

In this review of the Backlit Keyboard Case for iPad 9.7 in models from 2017, 2018 and the iPad Air series, the bottom line is simple: it turns a compatible iPad into a more productive workstation without adding heavy bulk. The reviewer found the strongest reason to buy is the combination of a magnetically detachable, rechargeable keyboard with a protective folio that preserves the iPad's slim profile while adding a usable keyboard and a dedicated pencil holder, making it a practical pick for students and professionals who need a portable typing solution.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed specifically for several 9.7 in iPad models so buyers can confirm fit by checking their iPad back model before purchase.
• Full body protection: Durable PU leather exterior and soft microfiber interior provide drop, dust and scratch protection while interior anti-slip material helps keep the device secure in the case.
• Detachable backlit keyboard: The magnetic keyboard is removable and offers seven single-color backlight options plus a breathing mode for low-light typing and simple color changes.
• Built-in rechargeable keyboard: The keyboard charges via USB cable included in the parcel and offers long standby time after a full 2-3 hour charge.
• Wireless mouse included: The bundle adds a 2.4G + Bluetooth mouse that can pair with two devices and switch modes for tablet or PC use.
• Smart folio sleep/wake: The magnetic folio cover supports auto sleep and wake when closed, helping preserve battery life on the iPad.

Who It's For

This case is best for owners of the specified 9.7 in iPad models who want a light, integrated typing setup for note taking, email and document editing without buying a separate keyboard. It suits students, commuters and casual remote workers who value portability and added protection.

People who need a perfectly seamless keyboard-magnet interaction for the auto sleep/wake feature should be prepared to remove the keyboard if they want the strongest magnetic hold, and those with other iPad sizes should look for a model made for their device rather than this 9.7 in fit.
