iPad Keyboard Case 9.7 in with Trackpad and Backlit Keys - Detachable

In this review the iPad Keyboard Case 9.7 in with Trackpad aims to turn compatible iPad models into a focused productivity device. The bottom line: it is best for owners of the 9.7 in iPad 6th or 5th gen, iPad Pro 9.7 and iPad Air models who want a protective folio with a rechargeable keyboard, multi-touch trackpad and a Pencil holder. The case stands out for its integrated trackpad and long battery life, but potential buyers should confirm model compatibility before ordering.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed specifically for 9.7 in iPad models including the 2018 iPad 6th Gen and 2017 iPad 5th Gen so the fit and cutouts aim to match those device layouts.
• Rechargeable long life battery: A built-in 500mAh battery claims up to 240 hours of use and recharges with a Type-C cable, avoiding disposable batteries.
• Multi-touch trackpad: The integrated trackpad supports gestures for clicking, scrolling and swiping to make tablet navigation feel more laptop-like.
• 7-color backlit keyboard: Adjustable backlight colors and three brightness modes improve low-light typing and let users personalize the look.
• Full protective shell and Pencil holder: A soft PU outer with a TPU interior and reinforced hinge protects the iPad and stores an Apple Pencil securely (Pencil not included).

Who It's For

This case is aimed at students, remote workers and anyone who owns a compatible 9.7 in iPad and wants a single accessory that adds typing, a trackpad and protection. The built-in Pencil holder and adjustable viewing angles make it useful for note taking, light editing and media consumption.

It is not for people with newer or differently sized iPads, or buyers who need seamless, guaranteed keyboard pairing every time; some customers reported mixed fit and connectivity experiences, so those requiring flawless plug-and-play performance may prefer a different solution or to check their exact model number before purchase.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Customizable 7-color backlight with three brightness levels for low-light typing.

Cons

• Fit and keyboard connectivity have mixed reports from customers, so check the iPad model number and be prepared to troubleshoot pairing in some cases.
