Revainrating 5 out of 5

Holds charge well for at least a full day of work, charges quickly over night.

$69.99 USD, free shipping, 5 days deliveryI got this a week ago mainly for protection of the iPad and to get a keyboard and trackpad, as i hate the screen soft key pads.i havenʻt tested the protection yet, and donʻt plan on doing one. The material feels like plastic, with rounded corners that should help diffuse some shock from falling. Itʻs clearly not going to provide any level of water resistance or waterproofing. For use in an office, home, or reasonably protected outdoors, however, it should be more than adequate.As far as protecting the screen, there are a pair of small silicone bumpers set into the palm rest portion of the keyboard, which prevents the screen from touching the keys when the case is closed.Because of the hinge design, the screen portion of the case can rotate when it is closed, if you try to rotate it. However, i think you really need to try to rotate it, otherwise it stays in place.The pencil loop fits the Apple Pencil 1st generation VERY snugly. If you add a sleeve to the pencil, it will o longer fit; itʻs just that snug a fit.The keys definitely feel different from the MacBook Pro Unibody (yeah, old school), but iʻm getting used to it. My speed is mainly affected by the smaller keyboard size, but that is simply unavoidable for an iPad.The trackpad seems to work adequately. It doesnʻt match the MacBook Proʻs trackpad click sensitivity, requiring much more depth of travel and pressure, so click-and-drag is not as easy or convenient, but it still works. iPadʻs trackpad implementation is different from my MBPʻs so there are some disappointments as far as trackpad gestures (tap-to-click is not available, nor is four-finger swipe), but thatʻs not on this case/trackpad - itʻs about Appleʻs iPad implementation.I get a full day of word processing and internet access (not streaming, but accessing research documents and books) from the case/keyboard/trackpad, and recharge it overnight. so far absolutely reliable battery.I did end up getting a soft sleeve for this, and feel like it is now protected very well not only when in use, but also when in transport.i would buy this again if i needed to, except that i found a very similar model on revain for approximately $25 less. That is a huge difference, and i wish i had seen that before purchasing this one.

Pros
  • Smart Features - Premium hard-shell design protects all sides of your iPad; auto sleep/wake initiates when keyboard case is opened & closed to conserve battery life; holder for Apple Pencil so it won't get lost or in the way.
Cons
  • The backlights are not customizable and can be distracting to nearby users
