iPad Air 13 / iPad Pro 12.9 Touch Keyboard Case - Backlit Purple

In this review the SENGBIRCH purple touch keyboard case is assessed for anyone who wants to turn an iPad Air 13 or iPad Pro 12.9 into a practical, laptop-like workspace. The bottom line: this case is for tablet users who value a built-in trackpad, reliable protective cover and a long-lasting rechargeable keyboard for real typing tasks. It stands out because the precision touchpad and full 81-key layout make editing and navigation feel far closer to a laptop than a basic Bluetooth keyboard.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Works specifically with iPad Air 13 (M3 2025, M2 2024) and iPad Pro 12.9 3rd-6th gen, ensuring a snug fit and full access to ports and cameras.
• Precision Touchpad: The built-in trackpad supports clicks, pinch, slide and roll gestures for cursor control that speeds document editing and web navigation.
• 7-Color Backlight: Seven backlight color options with three brightness levels let you type comfortably in low light and personalize the look.
• Pencil Storage and Charging: Integrated pen holder keeps the Apple Pencil secure and supports wireless charging while stored, so the stylus is always ready.
• All-round Protection: PU leather exterior with a silicone inner shell and honeycomb padding protects the tablet and improves heat dissipation compared with simple folio covers.
• Rechargeable Battery: Keyboard recharges in about 2.5 hours and delivers long continuous use and standby time for extended productivity away from outlets.

Who It's For

The case is best for professionals, students and creators who use an iPad Air 13 or a supported iPad Pro 12.9 as a primary productivity device and need a compact keyboard with a functional trackpad and shortcut keys. The built-in pen holder and charging support also make it a good match for artists and note-takers who keep a Pencil paired with their tablet.

It is less suitable for users with unsupported iPad models or those who want an ultra-thin, minimalist sleeve without keyboard functionality. Buyers who require military-grade drop protection or detachable rugged keyboards should look at heavy-duty specialist cases instead.
