Review on Fintie Keyboard Case IPad Built by Carl Estell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Probably great for SPECIAL moments when you might need a keyboard.

I just got an iPad Air 4 and have since been using a ChromeOS tablet with the keyboard and trackpad on to take advantage of the full functionality of my web browsing (I work almost exclusively in the cloud) on the go I thought I would should be looking for an option that mimics the same for the iPad. This case had great reviews and was so reasonably priced compared to Apple's options that I decided to give it a try. It's a bit heavy (which is to be expected with all those magnets and the keyboard), and while the keys on the keyboard have a lot of travel, they're very noisy. The fact that the keyboard is attached with a magnet is great if you don't want to take it with you - you just remove it and your tablet becomes much lighter and thinner. I had no problems connecting the keyboard to the device via Bluetooth. I think the Composition Book case is insanely cute and brings back great memories from my school days, but I found that I really needed the trackpad more than I expected and the keyboard hidden inside makes the case a little bulky, which my picky brain needs irritated a bit aesthetic point of view. I wouldn't mind if the keyboard slides out of the case, but the magnetic hold on the OUTSIDE is much weaker than when the keyboard is attached to the inside of the case. Overall, the TPU case is perfectly formed yet flexible (which is the best combo for protecting your device), the cutouts are accurate, and the case will likely fit most people. I would give it just over 4 stars and recommend it to anyone who uses a keyboard SOMETIMES.

Pros
  • Durable PU leather case and non-slip rubberized lining provide full protection for your tablet. The soft, flexible TPU back protects your iPad Air 4 from bumps, drops and bumps. Support auto sleep/wake up function in random mode ONLY.
Cons
  • Infinitely slow
