Keyboard Case for iPad Air 13 in / iPad Pro 12.9 in (Black) - Backlit

In this review of the ALIWLHOF keyboard case the bottom line is practical: it turns an iPad Air 13 in (2024) or iPad Pro 12.9 in (3rd-6th gen) into a more laptop-like device with a backlit keyboard and multi-touch trackpad. The reviewer found it best for anyone who wants a flexible setup for typing, presentations or media without adding much bulk. It is a solid value for those who prioritize keyboard quality, a floating cantilever stand and adjustable backlighting, though a few durability and fit caveats are worth noting.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits iPad Air 13 in (2024) and iPad Pro 12.9 in (3rd-6th gen) models when you confirm the model number on the back of the iPad.
• Backlit keyboard: Offers seven backlight colors and three brightness levels so typing remains comfortable in low light and adds visual customization.
• Multi-touch trackpad: Built-in trackpad supports iPadOS gestures and keyboard shortcuts to improve navigation and productivity.
• Floating cantilever stand: The Easy-Set floating design lets you tilt, flip and rotate the iPad for multiple viewing angles, including portrait mode.
• Instant wake and sleep: The case automatically wakes or sleeps the iPad when opened or closed, conserving battery and simplifying use.
• Lightweight design: A portable, slim build that keeps the iPad easy to carry while adding a 78-key keyboard for extended typing sessions.

Who It's For

This keyboard case is aimed at students, presenters and professionals who use an iPad Air 13 in or iPad Pro 12.9 in as a daily productivity device and want a laptop-like typing experience with a trackpad and adjustable backlight. It is also a good option for content viewers who will benefit from the floating cantilever stand when watching media or giving demonstrations.

Shoppers who should look elsewhere include owners of other iPad sizes (for example iPad Pro 11 in, iPad 10.9 in, older Air and standard iPad generations) or anyone who needs guaranteed long battery endurance or an integrated slot for an Apple Pencil without fit questions.
