iPad mini 7th/6th Gen Keyboard Case - Detachable Backlit Folio

In this review we test the BORIYUAN keyboard case to see if it turns an iPad mini into a practical, portable laptop replacement. The bottom line: this case is best for students and travelers who want a slim, protective folio with a detachable Bluetooth keyboard and colorful backlighting. The design supports both the new iPad mini 7th gen (A17 Pro) and the iPad mini 6 (8.3 in), and the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a magnetic, removable keyboard plus multi-angle viewing and a built-in Apple Pencil holder that preserves wireless charging.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Specifically designed for iPad mini 7th gen 2024 (A17 Pro) and iPad mini 6 2021 8.3 in models, so ports and buttons remain accessible.
• Detachable backlit keyboard: A slim Bluetooth keyboard attaches magnetically and offers 3 brightness levels and 7 backlight colors for low-light typing.
• Full protection: PU leather exterior with a silicone soft shell interior protects against scratches, drops and bumps while keeping the tablet secure.
• Multiple viewing angles: The case has three dents for landscape propping, providing flexible positions for typing, watching video, or video calls.
• Apple Pencil storage: Built-in pencil slot and support for 2nd gen Pencil magnetic attachment and wireless charging without removing the case.
• Long battery life: Built-in 420mAh rechargeable battery claims long runtime and charges via Type-C in about two hours.

Who It's For

This keyboard case suits students, remote workers and frequent travelers who want a lightweight folio that converts the iPad mini into a small typing device while protecting it in transit. The backlit keys and multiple colors make it useful for evening work or dim classrooms, and the Apple Pencil holder is handy for note taking and sketching.

Those who need a heavy-duty industrial case or a mechanical-keyboard experience should look elsewhere; users who expect perfectly consistent long-term key performance should be aware that customer reports on durability and key function are mixed, so consider a short trial period.
