I bought an Apple iPad as a keyboard replacement. Not as easy to use as Apple holder/keyboard

I have a 2nd generation iPad, Apple keyboard and holder that are not compatible with the connector. I love Apple's lightweight yet sturdy keyboard, but they are no longer sold in early generations. So I got Finty as a backup. Any Bluetooth keyboard will work with my old iPad, so sometimes I "mix and match" when I'm at my desk or at home with an Apple Bluetooth keyboard. However, this is not very portable. What I don't like about Fintie is that the real iPad fits in like a phone case. It's not easy to get in and out of when I want to use it as a camera. The keyboard is heavier than I like. But the stops that keep the keyboard upright when it's on your desk or in your lap aren't high/low enough to securely hold it in that position. I need help supporting the screen. The screen tends to slip when I'm on my knees. The keyboard is separate and attached with a magnet. . However, the keyboard stays in place very well. The keyboard is backlit under the keyboard. However, the lettering is dark and the keys don't light up, so I'm not sure it's that useful to be able to see the letters at night. i like the color Even after several weeks of travel, the edges of the Fintie suitcase are folded and seem a bit curled up. I don't like having to charge my keyboard from a different port than the one I use for my iPad or iPhone. So, one more cable in my pocket. All in all it was just ok. I still prefer the original Apple keyboard/case over the Fintie. But I keep it as a backup. .

Pros
  • Keyboard cases
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models
