Arteck iPad Air & iPad Pro 11-inch Keyboards: BluetoothFolio with Full Protection Case

Good product, thank you

Horrible product

I’ve been purchasing from Amazon for years and this is my first review. Partly because this keyboard has made such a great first impression on me, and partly because I wanted an excuse to type with it! I’ve only had the keyboard a day, so I can’t say much about it’s longevity of comment on whether it will stand the test of time. But beyond that- it’s so damn impressive for the price (I paid $28).Pros:- It’s pretty lightweight for a keyboard case- Seems pretty protective/sturdy (although I’m not going to test that on purpose :)- All the ports/buttons are protected but easy to get to or press- So far, I’ve only had to connect to the Bluetooth once, and it immediately connects- Love the function keys- I didn’t know this was a feature when I bought it- but I really love that it turns on when I open the case and sit iPad on the magnets. This feature is awesome- because if I want to use the iPad to write or watch etc, I just disconnect it from the magnet and I won’t accidentally be pressing keys while it’s in use. Also will save on battery. GREAT FEATURE!- Love that it has a cutout for the Apple Pencil, and allows it to charge (I’ve seen other cases with a holder at the bottom, which is dumb, then I can’t charge it)- I haven’t used it long term yet- but I was able to get used to the keyboard pretty quickly and seems like a decent typing experience.Cons- You only have one viewing angle to choose from when typing- The keys are on the smaller side. I know that with an 11” iPad some of that is outside the manufacturer’s control- but it could be annoying to someone with large fingers or use isn’t use to it.- If you’re used to apple keyboards, this does have a different feel to it.Unknowns- Battery Life (Have’t had it long enough to test that)- Longevity/Wear & tearHere’s the thing- it’s not the best case or keyboard in the world- but it just might be the best one for the price. Hope this review helps someone on the fence. ✌️

Value for money

Bought this keyboard for my iPad Pro 11 2020 version. Nicely wrapped in recyclable box. Comes with cord and instructions that are easy to follow. Also comes with a USB-A/B to USB-micro cord to charge the battery in the keyboard. This does not charge the battery in iPad. You will have to do that the way you normally would. Note- You can type with the keyboard while it is charging,Bluetooth pairing was quick and no problem following the instructions.Case is hard plastic with enough texture to grip easily and seems robust. the iPad pressure fits into the case securely and takes enough effort to get it out that you feel secure. It overlaps the edges of the iPad to protect the sides. The cut outs and buttons all match up perfectly around the edge and work well. There is an out-dent for the Apple Pencil that allows for it to magnetically attach to the iPad and charge normally.The keyboard had a nice action, reasonable resistance, and travel given the size. This is not a clickity keyboard. It is much better than I expected. It is small, but it has to fit the smaller 11" iPad so I expected that. The Keyboard automatically powers on when the iPad is set upright in the normal typing position. Otherwise it is automatically turned off. This allows you to open up the case and fold it all the way back so you can use the iPad flat to draw or hold it to read, etc. if you want.There are curser keys, but no trackpad. It does have function keys like vol up, vol down, etc. check the sellers pics.Overall really excellent purchase at an amazing price. Would buy again.

I had an issue with my first keyboard and the manufacturer responded and sent me a new unit. It works fine and the price is very good. I do like the hard shell design more than the softer flap design. The keyboard stays in place better and the pencil holder is more robust. The only reason for not giving a 5-star is that the space bar is approximately 0.5" (1.3 cm) shorter than most other similar designs. This is because that added extra command keys. All keyboard manufacturers should just quit doing this as keyboard purchasers are people who have training in typing and these smaller space bars actually are awkward.
