Magic Keyboard in Canopy Case is a Magic Keyboard Killer for iPad Pro

Magic Keyboard in Canopy Case is a Magic Keyboard Killer for iPad Pro. Apple has released a branded Magic Keyboard case for the new 2020 (and 2018) iPad Pro. Why is it important? I've been looking online for a way to use a keyboard (case) that would allow me to be flexible with the iPad Pro so that drawing and noting with the Apple Pencil is as easy as it is on a tablet, but I can't stop typing the iPad of this case: - Allows ANY Apple (iOS) device to fit on the stand and connect via Bluetooth - Since the "wireless" Magic Keyboard with Canopy Case is not directly attached to the iPad, the tablet can easily be taken and then taken the iPad can be used for drawing. It uses Apple's official Wireless Magic Keyboard, so all the features and compatibility are there. A beautiful sleeve for the Magic Keyboard that wraps around and closes when not in use. Cons: - If you're looking for a permanent keyboard case that stays permanently attached, this isn't it - depending on which iPad you're using, the sides of the keyboard can scratch the edge of the iPad if you don't place it carefully - only one (though really good) FOV - Requires your own Magic Keyboard 2 to use as it's just a unique case for it + external mouse or trackpad if needed. I already have a MacBook Pro for typing, so this is the perfect portable solution if I ever need to type on an iPad. It doesn't snag on the iPad, so you get all the benefits of a thin, portable tablet without the added weight. Costing over $329 to purchase, the official 2020 Magic Keyboard Case for the iPad Pro defeats the iPad Pro's purpose of being a tablet first, while also doubling the weight. I switched from the Logitech Folio Touch case to this Canopy case as I realized that a keyboard is constantly adding weight and bulk as most of my typing and serious work is done on a MacBook Pro. Consider this solution as it still uses the official Apple Magic Keyboard, albeit not the 2020 one. If you're looking for an iPad as a laptop replacement, the 2020 Magic Keyboard Case for iPad Pro might be worth considering. But if you're using your iPad as an add-on/giveaway to your existing laptop, get this canopy case for your keyboard instead and save hundreds of dollars.
