Kenke iPad 9.7 Case with Keyboard for iPad 6/5th Gen and Air

In this review the Kenke iPad 9.7 case with keyboard is evaluated for users who want a slim, protective folio that turns a compatible iPad into a portable typing station. The chief reason to consider it is the removable slim Bluetooth keyboard paired with a durable PU cover and a built-in left side pencil slot, which together make it a practical choice for note takers and light mobile work. The review focuses on fit, typing experience, battery life and everyday protection for iPad 6th Gen 2018, 5th Gen 2017, iPad Air 2 and original iPad Air models.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed specifically for 9.7 in iPad 6th Gen 2018, 5th Gen 2017, iPad Air 2 and original iPad Air so buyers get a precise fit and access to ports and cameras.
• Removable Bluetooth Keyboard: A slim 6.2mm wireless keyboard magnetically attaches and detaches to convert the iPad into a laptop-like typing device for emails, editing and long notes.
• Long Battery Life: The built-in rechargeable Li-polymer battery for the keyboard charges in a few hours and can remain on standby for several days after a full charge.
• Built-in Pencil Slot: A left side pencil holder keeps an Apple Pencil or stylus close at hand for drawing or annotations (pencil not included).
• Auto Sleep/Wake: The case supports auto sleep and wake to help conserve iPad battery when the cover is opened and closed, improving daily runtime.
• Protective Material: Premium PU leather offers water and scratch resistance while maintaining a neat appearance for everyday carry.

Who It's For

The Kenke 9.7 in keyboard case is best for students, casual creatives and professionals who own one of the supported iPad models and want a lightweight keyboard solution with decent protection and a handy pencil slot. It suits people who type occasionally to moderately and value portability and battery life over a mechanical feel.

Those who should look elsewhere include users with newer or different iPad models (the case is not compatible beyond the listed 9.7 in models) and heavy typists who need a sturdier, laptop-grade keyboard; some customers report mixed keyboard durability and firmer key presses, so intensive daily typing may expose those limits.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value for money with combined keyboard, pencil slot and protective folio in one unit.
• Removable slim Bluetooth keyboard makes the iPad more productive for typing and editing tasks.
• Long battery standby for the keyboard and multi-angle support for flexible viewing positions.
• PU cover resists water, scratches and fingerprints for everyday protection.

Cons

• Keyboard quality and durability receive mixed feedback; some users find keys require firm presses or report failures over time.
• Auto sleep/wake works best with the keyboard removed, since the keyboard's metal can interfere with the case magnets.

Our Verdict

The Kenke 9.7 in iPad case with detachable Bluetooth keyboard is a practical, affordable option for owners of the supported iPad models who want added typing capability, pencil storage and solid everyday protection. It is good value for casual to moderate typists thanks to a slim removable keyboard and long battery life, but buyers seeking a premium typing feel or maximum keyboard durability should consider a higher-end keyboard accessory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this case fit my iPad model?
Check the model number on the back bottom of your iPad; the case fits only the listed 9.7 in models (iPad 6th Gen 2018, 5th Gen 2017, iPad Air 2 and original iPad Air).

Is the keyboard rechargeable?
Yes, the keyboard has a built-in rechargeable Li-polymer battery that charges in about 2-3 hours and offers several days of standby after a full charge.

Does the case support auto sleep/wake with the keyboard attached?
Auto sleep/wake is supported, but the keyboard's metal parts can affect magnetic alignment, so the best sleep/wake performance happens when the keyboard is removed.
