Review on πŸ”“ Inateck iPad Pro 11 Case with Keyboard 2020/2018 - Compatible with iPad Pro 11 Inch (1st /2nd Generation), Pink - Backlit Keyboard and Flexible Kickstand by Sri Mims

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Really nice flexible case with stand and keyboard.

After switching from iPad Air 2 to iPad Pro 11" I realized that there are not many options for new hardware yet. Half keyboard and wanted something similar. The way, like the kickstand with a magnet a little awkward to install but it stays on securely once installed The backlight placement around and below the keys is almost too noticeable but doesn't seem to glow in the eyes like my 2011 MBP Keyboard. Not very intuitive on how to change colors, but it's not difficult. Being able to change three zones independently is the reason. It increases the learning curve, but "It's a strong feature." The keys themselves feel good, move predictably, and don't interfere with touch typing. Now if only they could figure out how to access the power ports on an iPad Pro like the Apple Keyboard Case does. Maybe in the next vision. I'm a little surprised that the package doesn't come with a short USB-C to USB micro cable that you can use to charge the keyboard directly from the iPad. This is just my opinion on the matter, otherwise it doesn't detract from the value of this article. The cover itself is easy to assemble and closes well. I'm cautiously optimistic about the keyboard pads, which will stand up to the iPad's glass and protect it from the wear and tear of the road. The time will tell. The way the keyboard detaches and re-attaches from the case is interesting, and as long as the materials remain flexible they work well. This is another issue for me, but after the case has been on the road for a year or two before I can give a good opinion on its durability. The only downside is that it works with the 2nd generation Apple Pencil. The recess at the top of the case holds the pencil securely. It even allows the pencil to be charged. This prevents the pen from getting stuck. You must remove the case from the top edge of your iPad each time you need to connect the stylus. That's really the only negative I have for the product. Inexpensive, I can recommend.
