$30 off for 5-star reviews with skewed reviews

First of all, you should know that 5-star ratings are biased and should not be trusted. Because once you sign up for the guarantee, you'll receive a $30 Amazon gift card for a 5-star rating. This isn't the first time this has happened and it worries me a lot because you don't really know if a product gets 5 stars. I automatically rate any similar product with one star, even if correcting the ratings is not enough. Here's my untainted review: 1. It's not a bad case, but it's not a great case either. Comparing Apple's keyboard case is like comparing apples to oranges. The Apple case, like all Apple products, is superb and built to last.2. This case has a few features that make it more attractive than the Apple case. First, the screen above the keyboard can be rotated and folded, allowing you to use your Apple Pencil without removing it from its case, as you should with the Apple Keyboard Case. I use the Apple Pencil more than the keyboard, so this is a good option for me. However, this feature comes at a price. First off, the pivot is pretty flimsy and I doubt it will last that long, although this is (supposedly) mitigated by a lifetime warranty. Secondly, when the case is closed, there is a gap that can bring dirt or other objects inside when carried in a backpack or similar. I think this is a small problem, but it is a problem nonetheless.3. The second eye-catcher is the Apple Pencil holder. I love how the pencil stays in place and charges when I'm not using it.4. Overall, the case is a bit thin and just as heavy as an Apple case. If you don't need the folding feature, I would recommend not buying this case and going with the Apple case as it's much better. There are many inexpensive aftermarket Apple Pencil or stylus holders available if you need this feature. iPad shakes when typing. When you touch the screen (e.g. to select something), the screen oscillates for a while. This is because the swivel connector is not tightened. This annoys me and appears to be a design flaw.6. I've only been using this case for a few days and haven't decided yet whether to keep it or not. I wish the Apple case folded up so I could use a pencil.

Pros
  • ENHANCED PROTECTION: The keyboard case is constructed with a durable keyboard base and a precision-molded hard shell that provides unmatched protection for the iPad during use, on the go, or in the event of an accidental bumps/drops. . The keyboard case's strength and structural integrity make it ideal for any environment, including workplaces and schools.
Cons
  • Requires socket
