Great fit! fits bags, cases and cases

Like - slim, light weight, with good cutouts - works well with Smart Keyboard Case - keyboard case still closes - the only accessory on the market to protect the iPad when in use Don't like the Smart Keyboard Case Don - I feel like the magnets are a bit weaker than the iPad so the keyboard is more likely to fall off - A bit thicker - The plastic is a bit flimsy and I feel the product is overpriced - baby because the volume buttons make the buttons slightly harder to press

  • Confident

Great combination for iPad and Apple Keyboard

I was looking at Apple's Smart Keyboard and wanted to buy it, but I didn't like that there was no corner protection in case of an accident. Low, and here I find this thin case that protects the corners but is also thin enough that I can use the Apple Smart Keyboard on it. The problem is solved. My only complaint is that I think one of the corners is off a bit in the sense that it doesn't just click on the corner of the iPad, but that wasn't a problem and I didn't notice it. Another thing is…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Okay I guess - cases, cases and covers

I bought this because I wanted to protect my iPad when I've moved it away from the magic keyboard where it lives most of the time. It's hard plastic, with no overlays. But there aren't many other devices on the market that can close the iPad, power the keyboard, and use the keyboard as a lid to close it. It does everything. Hopefully someone will take it a step further and figure out how to smooth out the corners a bit. I would spend 40€ for that. It was a bit cool, but like I said, there…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Obsolete

Poor manufacturing, poor customer service, poor warranty

This product works great until it stops working. As mentioned in other reviews, the 3 metal pins that allow the iPad to connect to the Magic Keyboard fall out easily. I only had this product a few days after the 90 day warranty expired and neither SwitchEasy nor Revain will replace a faulty product. If the product is in good condition, it works as advertised and the Apple Pencil feels good in your hand so it doesn't get lost in traffic. The plastic is a little slippery, so it's not very…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Long wait

As mentioned in other reviews, 3 the metal contacts that the iPad allow connect with the Magic Keyboard, fall out easily.

If the product is in good condition, it works as advertised and the Apple Pencil feels good in your hand so it doesn't get lost in traffic.

Pros
  • COMPATIBILITY: Compatible with iPad Air 10.9 inch 4th generation 2020 (iPad, Apple Pencil and keyboard not included)

The perfect combination of iPad keyboard and Apple keyboard

I was looking at the Apple Smart Keyboard and wanted to buy it, but I didn't like that there was no corner protection in case of an accident.

Pros
  • THIN AND LIGHT: With a thickness of only 1.5 mm and a weight of 107 g, CoverBuddy gives you a barely conscious feeling when using the iPad Pro. Precise cutouts allow full access to all buttons, charging ports and speakers.
Cons
  • fading

Questionable build quality and design.

Update: One of the contact pins fell out after a little over a month of slow use. Just got a replacement. This is a little improved over the original. less sharp edges. The bottom of the pen holder is better reinforced. All in all, a decent case that protects the back from scratches and makes it easier to hold the iPad when docked with the Apple Pencil. As mentioned in the other reviews - very weak protection and cheap construction. The pen holder is ok, but the pull out cutout is very small…

Pros
  • PATENTED MAGIC KEYBOARD & SMART KEYBOARD FOLIO SUPPORT: The world's first performance case supports original iPad Bluetooth keyboards. Compatible with Magic Keyboard and Smart Keyboard Folio. SwitchEasy CoverBuddy is the only patented iPad Air case compatible with the original iPad Magic Keyboard/Smart Keyboard Folio with Pen Holder. It also supports wireless charging of the 2nd generation Apple Pencil. (Coverbuddy is an iPad case, not a keyboard case)
Cons
  • Some minor issues
