In this review the reviewer finds the Keyboard Case for iPad Pro 12.9 a useful laptop-style option for users who need a durable, fully protective case with integrated keyboard and trackpad. It is best for people who want a stand-alone keyboard and precision multi-touch trackpad that turns the iPad Pro 12.9 into a productivity device quickly, and the single biggest reason to buy is its 360 degree swivel design which allows laptop, tent and tablet orientations while keeping the iPad well protected.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits iPad Pro 12.9 3rd through 6th generation models so owners of recent 12.9 in iPads can choose this case with confidence.
• Large multi-touch trackpad: The precise trackpad removes the need for an external mouse and improves navigation when editing documents or presenting.
• RGB backlit keyboard: Seven-mode rainbow backlight with three brightness levels helps typing in dim environments and includes a full row of iPadOS shortcuts.
• 360 rotatable design: The case supports 360 degree rotation and 180 degree flip, enabling seven use modes for viewing, typing, drawing, and media.
• Durable protection: One-piece molding and reinforced clips secure the iPad and protect edges and corners from drops and scratches.
• Long battery life: Built-in rechargeable battery promises long standby and extended working time when backlight is off, reducing frequent charging.

Who It's For

The case is aimed at professionals, students, and travelers who carry a 12.9 in iPad Pro and want a keyboard and large trackpad to replace a laptop for email, editing and presentations. Its protective shell and secure clips make it a good choice for daily commuters who need both protection and a full keyboard experience.

It is not for owners of the newest 13 in M4 iPad Pro or much older 12.9 in 1st and 2nd generation models, nor for buyers who need a stylus or iPad included with the case. Those seeking the lightest possible cover should also consider slimmer folios, since some users note the unit adds noticeable weight.
