iPad Pro 11 and iPad Air Keyboard Case - Rugged Detachable

Our review of this keyboard case finds it best suited for iPad Pro 11 and iPad Air users who want a protective, keyboard-first setup with a usable trackpad. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a solid, detachable backlit keyboard and a hardbound case that protects the tablet and covers the camera lens while doubling as a multi-angle stand. It is especially useful for people who type frequently on an iPad and need a reliable case that converts into a compact workstation.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits iPad Pro 11 1st through 4th gen and iPad Air 4th and 5th gen, so buyers can match the model numbers on the back of their iPad for a precise fit.
• Backlit keyboard: Rechargeable keyboard offers 7 backlight colors and 3 brightness levels to type comfortably in low light and choose a color that reduces eye strain.
• Built-in trackpad: The high-sensitive trackpad includes anti-mistouch technology for smoother scrolling and cursor control without accidental taps.
• Detachable design: The keyboard detaches to allow immersive screen use for media and sketching while the case remains protective.
• Comprehensive protection: Rigid case construction, durable keyboard base and a sliding camera cover protect the back, camera and edges during travel.
• Long standby battery: After a 2-3 hour charge the keyboard offers extended standby time, with an auto sleep/wake function to conserve power.

Who It's For

This case is ideal for students, remote workers and frequent travelers who use an iPad Pro 11 or later iPad Air as a primary light-duty computer. The integrated keyboard and trackpad give a laptop-like experience without sacrificing the tablet form factor, and the camera cover and hardbound shell help protect the device in a bag.

People who want the absolute lightest, thinnest cover or those who rarely type may prefer a slimmer folio without a keyboard, since the bundled keyboard and keyboard base add weight. Also verify your iPad model number on the back of the device before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
