Keyboard Case for iPad Air 11 in 2024 - Backlit Keyboard Case

In this review the Keyboard Case for iPad Air 11 in 2024 is judged as a practical keyboard-and-case combo for iPad users who want laptop-style typing and a protective cover without adding much bulk. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a magnetic floating stand, a full Bluetooth keyboard with 7-color backlight, and a multi-touch trackpad that together turn an iPad Air or compatible iPad Pro 11 in into a productive device for travel or light office work.

Key Features

• Device compatibility: The case is specially designed to fit iPad Air 11 in 2024 (M2), iPad Air 10.9 in models and iPad Pro 11 in generations listed by model number, ensuring a snug fit when you confirm your Axxxx model number.
• Backlit keyboard: A 7-color backlight with three brightness levels helps typing in low light and the keyboard can run up to 320 hours without lighting or about 8 hours with lighting on.
• Multi-touch trackpad: The 3.2 x 1.6 in trackpad supports multi-finger gestures for swipe, scroll and app switching, providing cursor control closer to a laptop experience.
• Floating magnetic stand: Strong magnetic suction and an adjustable tilt let you pick comfortable viewing angles while the cover supports automatic sleep and wake.
• Protective PU surface: The PU exterior shields the front, back and sides from dents and scratches while remaining light enough to carry for everyday use.

Who It's For

This keyboard case is best for iPad owners who need a portable typing setup for email, document editing and web browsing and who own one of the supported Axxxx models. Students, remote workers and frequent travelers who value a compact keyboard plus a multi-touch trackpad will find the combination useful for replacing a small laptop for many tasks.

People who require a numeric keypad for heavy spreadsheet work, non-English keyboard layouts, or owners of iPad models not listed (including the 2024 M4 iPad Pro or 10th generation 10.9 in tablets) should look elsewhere. Also note this is the English keyboard version, so language settings on the iPad should be set to English for best character mapping.
