Keyboard Case for iPad 11in and 10.9in - Detachable Keyboard

Our review of the Keyboard Case for iPad (A16) 11th 10th Generation finds it best suited for users who want a laptop-like setup from their tablet without adding bulk. The biggest reason to buy is the integrated multi-touch trackpad and detachable magnetic keyboard, which combine to provide precise navigation and a familiar typing experience while keeping the iPad protected. The case is especially useful for note takers, students, and mobile professionals who need a compact, all-in-one solution that stores an Apple Pencil and conserves battery with auto sleep/wake.

Key Features

• Wide compatibility: Designed specifically for iPad A16 11th Generation 11in (Model A3354, A3355, A3356) and iPad 10th Generation 10.9in (Model A2696, A2757, A2777, A3162), ensuring a precise fit for supported models.
• Detachable magnetic cover: Strong magnets let you switch between folio and typing angles quickly and hold the keyboard securely in work or gaming modes.
• Multi-touch trackpad: The built-in trackpad supports multi-finger gestures for pixel-precise navigation and smoother document editing and multitasking.
• Pencil storage: A built-in slot stores and charges Apple Pencil 2 (sold separately) so the stylus is always at hand and protected during transport.
• Smart power-saving: Opening the case powers the keyboard and wakes the iPad, while closing it puts the device to sleep to save battery life.
• 360 full protection: The case guards against drops, bumps, and scratches and includes anti-slip design elements to protect the screen and surfaces.

Who It's For

This keyboard case is ideal for students, writers, and mobile professionals who want a compact typing surface and trackpad on supported 11in or 10.9in iPad models. The magnetic detachable keyboard and pencil slot make it a practical choice for people who switch between typing, drawing, and video calls.

It is not for users with iPad models outside the listed A-series numbers or anyone who needs built-in charging for the keyboard beyond the provided Type-C cable. Buyers who require a keyboard that is guaranteed to work across many tablet models should look for a universal option instead.
