ESR iPad Pro 11 Inch Case with Keyboard (M4, 2024), iPad Pro 11(5th Gen) Keyboard Case with Easy-Set Magnetic Stand, Portrait/Landscape Modes, Removable Protective Case, Rebound 360 Series, Blue

At first, I hated the idea of having to charge my keyboard because the Apple one doesn’t require a charger. But it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to take because the iPad continues to have a case on it when you remove it from the keyboard. I do a lot of switching back-and-forth from keyboard to writing and the magnetic case makes the biggest difference. All of the touch functions also work with this keyboard.Connecting to Bluetooth was a one time deal, and then it automatically connected every time within seconds of turning on the keyboard. I’m honestly surprised with how much I love it. It’s very well-made.

I just got the iPad M4 11 inch and I was looking for a nice keyboard case that I could detach the iPad from as needed. I liked the idea of the Apple Magic Keyboard but (1) I was NOT paying $350, that’s wild, (2) I didn’t like the fact that there wasn’t a case or some sort of shell for the iPad to be in when detached from the keyboard (for $350 you would think they’d give you something), and (3) there was no way to secure the Apple Pencil (it magnetizes to your iPad but I want to make sure it STAYS there, again for $350 you think there would be something).I looked into other options as well and found some cool options from Typecase which is apparently a pretty popular brand, they even had their own version of the Magic Keyboard at a lower price ($100ish) but it was the same thing with the same things missing.That’s where this beautiful keyboard comes in! I LOVE it! First of all the material is fabulous feels so high quality. It’s like a silicone based materiel that feels buttery smooth and soft. The keyboard is amazing as well and the backlighting is great! The case is a little weighty but it is NOT heavy!This case comes with a shell to go on your iPad that you can use on and off the keyboard. I also really appreciate the fact that the closure is made to further secure the Apple Pencil to the iPad when not in use (I don’t know about you but I’m not willing to lose $129 because I bumped the pencil off of my iPad)I know I could talk about connectivity to the iPad, smoothness of the trackpad, keyboard quality, etc as well but everyone else did a great job talking about all of those things with this great keyboard so I decided to hit why I like this better than that overpriced and under-protective Magic Keybord! 😂This is everything I wanted in a keyboard and I’m super happy with it! Hope this helps!Ps: sorry I don’t have the iPad in the case at the moment, it’s charging and I really wanted to to get this review up 😂

Not as slick as Apple’s own keyboard folio, but I don’t think they make one for the current iPad Pro, and if they did, you could only imagine how much more they would charge for it, compared to this NYT recommendation.

Muy buena compra

Good long as you don’t plan on laying with it. Otherwise it collapses…UPDATE: Giving back a star cause the company reached out to try and make it right. Good company and service is hard to find these days…

Spacebar doesn't work. I spent hours playing with the Accessibility settings. Turns out it was a complete waste of time, and the spacebar was just broken. Besides being unusable, it's a neat little keyboard. If anything, it's a little heavy, and having to charge it complicates things. Annoyed that I wasted my time with it.

Pros:- protects all sides and corners of the IPad very well- allows iPad to be positioned vertically- significantly more affordable than Magic Keyboard (which doesn’t even come with a case)- has its own battery (Magic keyboard runs off of the iPad’s battery)Cons:- No pass through charging for the IPad. Both need to be charged separately but the keyboard’s charge lasts quite a while (haven’t had to charge it more than the first time in the month that I’ve had it)- Slightly thicker and heavier than Magic Keyboard + separate case.- IPad cant be tilted back as far as on the Magic Keyboard.I bought this ESR keyboard/case, the “Typecase Touch” keyboard that rotates a bit, and the Magic Keyboard + Spigen Enzo Case.I got the Magic Keyboard so the iPad and Keyboard could be charged via the single USB port on the Magic Keyboard, leaving the USB on the IPad free but it’s a steep price to pay for the convenience.. $55 for the Spigen Enzo case, ~$300 for the keyboard vs. ~$92 for the ESR keyboard/cover that charges separately. The Magic Keyboard is covered under AppleCare but realistically the ESR case could be replace 3x for the price of the Magic Keyboard + Case.*Havent tried the Typecase yet. Mostly use the Magic Keyboard/Spigen combo because I’ve already bought it, it’s covered under AppleCare if damaged, I prefer the amount of tilt it allows and it’s nice to charge through the Keyboard. That being said, if I had to choose one it would be this ESR for the price and better protection.

Very nice snug fit . Nice and tight without no wiggle room. Great size and the keys are perfect. And the Bluetooth connects quick.
