Nice keyboard case but some problems

This is a nice little keyboard case but there are some problems. I'm using it to write this review, so for the most part it's fine. The most frustrating thing is that the spacebar has to be pressed harder than the other keys, but you get used to that after a while. It's only noticeable when typing on an uneven surface, e.g. B. on your lap. On the table, the spacebar is not as sensitive to certain presses. The keyboard is a bit pliable, so the long part might not work properly without a hard surface underneath. The keyboard is large enough for normal typing, making my 2020 12.9-inch iPad Pro feel more like a laptop. .From left to right there are dedicated buttons: home button, app switcher, screenshot, on-screen keyboard, decrease screen brightness, increase screen brightness, previous track, play/pause, next track, volume down, volume up. , Search, Keyboard display settings, Keyboard display brightness, Disable/enable the touchpad and Screen lock. A case alone can't provide enough protection, but that's not really what this case is designed for. I'm not happy with how the flip cover is under the keyboard. It sticks out quite a bit and doesn't seem to fold under the keyboard. While the touchpad is functional, there seems to be a bit of inconsistency in how well it performs. Sometimes clicks aren't recognized, and sometimes they're too easy to manipulate with the palm of your hand. I usually leave it disabled when using the keyboard and just using the real iPad touchscreen. The pen holder on the side is almost unusable. The loop can stretch over time, so the pencil will only be held securely for a few days. After that it falls out, which is why I don't trust my expensive pencil. The area around the chamber is not reinforced. It's just a thin rubberized material so I have a feeling this corner won't hold up over time. It's also not the best case if you don't want to use a keyboard. The keyboard folds around the back, but it doesn't really protect itself. You end up with a flexible flap with an attached keyboard, so it's a little unwieldy. I'll use it when I need to print a lot of material, but I don't think I'll use it every day. Application. I prefer the feel of this Apple keyboard when typing, but it's not as well thought out. But much cheaper.

Pros
  • iPad Pro keyboard with aftermarket product
Cons
  • Only available in black
