ZAGG Pro Keys Detachable Case & Wireless Keyboard for Apple iPad 10.2" (Gen 9, 8, 7) - Bluetooth Pairing, Backlit Laptop-Style Keys, Apple Pencil Holder, 6.6ft Drop Protection, Black

ZAGG has always been a quality product. That is why I was willing to pay a little bit more for this case and keyboard. Well they delivered again. I am impressed by the quality, durability, and design. If I had more time I would go into more detail about the design. Let’s just say, it is easy to adjust back and forth between opening, setting up for typing, and closing. Also, I love how easy it is to remove my iPad from the typing mode cradle to use it without the keyboard. It really is a great feature. Last but not least, the case is solid sturdy and doesn’t flop around. When I set it up in typing mode, I’m confident that it will stay put and not fall over. I highly recommend this Pro Keys case. It’s so worth the few extra dollars.

First off, let me preface this by saying this is a long review, but PLEASE read! I don’t review products often at all, but this keyboard case deserves more than 5 stars in my opinion. THIS CASE IS AMAZING, and I’m writing this review on it right now. I received the new 4th generation iPad Air for Christmas (2020), and ever since I’ve been searching high and low for a functional, high-quality keyboard case. I have high expectations for laptop/electronics protection, and needed a case that protected, had a removable backlit keyboard, a space for the Apple Pencil, and was relatively lightweight. Of course I looked at the Apple Magic Keyboard first and was appalled at the price. Even more so, the lower-end model did not have a removeable backlit keyboard, so that was out. I went in search on Amazon and looked every night for over a week. There are the cheaper models that average ~$40-60, and I was tempted to buy one of those, until this case. Let me tell you, you won’t be disappointed here... PROS: - VERY easy to “install” - simply clip the base case on and attach the keyboard via the magnetic backing, pair with your iPad and you’re good to go. - Keyboard automatically turns on once paired and iPad is set on one of the magnetic strips to prop it up. - The first stock photo is somewhat misleading on what the case actually looks like - it is not propped up and tilt-able like the Magic keyboard, but rather the back of the keyboard case is magnetic so it will detach from the part of the case surrounding the iPad itself (that is what is pictured, making it look like it’s floating). - Unlike other cases that claim to fit the iPad Air 4 10.9” but are really made for the iPad Pro, this case is specifically fitted for the Air such that the cutout for the camera fits exactly, charging port hole and Touch ID cutout fit well (other cases I looked at were made for the Pro, so Touch ID was covered by the case) - Keyboard is responsive and feels like laptop keys; They are very easy and natural to type on, unlike some after-market keyboards. - Keyboard is backlit and can change color (see last photo of blue backlight in the dark). Colors are: white, yellow, purple, light blue, dark blue, red, and green. There are 3 brightness settings on the back light as well, and the option to turn it off. - Keyboard attaches to the back of the case, so if/when you don’t need it, you can easily remove it and your iPad is still protected on the back and sides. - Reattaching the keyboard is smooth - the back of the case is magnetic and goes exactly where it’s supposed to; you don’t have to fidget with the iPad to adjust it into place. - There is a slot to hold the Apple Pencil on the side, and it will charge via the iPad’s mag strip while on the case. The flap that folds over also holds the Pencil in place when the case is closed. NOTE: I do not have my Apple Pencil yet, so I can’t comment on ease of removal or how well it stays put on the case during travel/use. CONS (very few): - This case does not have a Sleep/Wake functionality, so if your iPad is on when you close the case, it remains on until it’s shut off manually or goes to sleep. - I’m a girl who was looking for a stylish case as well as functional, and I wish this case came in other colors. The description says this case is black, but it’s more of a medium gray in my opinion. Kind of an ugly color, but I”m definitely willing to overlook that with how functional this is. - When the iPad is set on it’s most upright dock on the case, it doesn’t hold well on your lap. On the second, more tilted setting, it functions perfectly as a laptop (which is how I have it right now as I’m typing this). If you want it set nicely on the most upright setting, you’ll have to have it on a hard flat surface. - Obviously the keyboard is going to add some weight to the iPad. Being an Air, it’s very lightweight, so in comparison, having the keyboard attached adds a bit of heft to it. Not necessarily a con, but just know your Air won’t feel as “Air-y” with this case. OVERALL OPINION: - A MUST BUY if you’re looking for a great keyboard case, especially as an alternative to Apple’s models that cost an arm and a leg. - I LOVE IT.

I got this case for my iPad 8th gen to use for school as well as keeping it as my drawing tablet. Things I like: 1. It’s very well built, it’s sturdy when using it as a makeshift laptop and the keys feel good when typing. 2. It’s heavy, but I like this aspect of it, it feels like good quality and I like the rubber/fabric ish texture it has. 3. I LOVE that’s it’s detachable, I can just pluck it off the magnetic keyboard case and just use it to draw. It’s also not hard to remove my iPad from the case like other brands of cases, very easy and snug when inserting it. 4. I love how you can securely close it with the magnetic flap, unlike others this one closes and stays closed, instead of flapping open. Things I don’t like: 1. Honestly the only problem I currently have with this case is the small Apple Pencil holder. I use a thicker cover for my Apple Pencil to help with the grip and thickness of it for my wrist. Now this isn’t a huge deal breaker but I was kinda looking forward to this function. So if you’re looking for a case that also holds your Apple Pencil, and really want that function, either don’t use a cover for the pencil, or get a different version of this cover. Again, not a dealbreaker for me.

Overall a decent keyboard, but there are some things that are genuinely frustrating enough to not get the 5 stars. Pros: -Easy to detach -Easy setup— no issues with getting it to connect, and great battery life -For how compact it is, type feel is pretty decent. I have no issues with typing on this thing/accuracy -It’s easy to bring along for travel Very durable Cons: -Easy to get dirty in my opinion (but also easy to clean; this didn’t factor into me taking a star off. I knew what it would look like going in) -the balance feels off when using it, so even on a straight surface and with the magnets, it can still collapse. And you really only can use it on a desk like surface. It’s so back heavy when in keyboard mode. -Probably my biggest gripe: the pencil holder isn’t snug enough, so my Apple brand pencil CONSTANTLY falls off, sometimes without me noticing. The pencil moves around a lot; the holder is far too big for it. I’ve had much cheaper keyboard cases and never had this issue ever before this one of the Apple Pencil falling out. It’s only ever secure if it’s closed with the strap over it.

The case is strong and solid. We have used both this case and keyboard in the past and it provides excellent protection for stuffing into luggage, backpacks, etc. The keyboard last a long time on a charge. Charging is easy using a USB-C port on the keyboard. The keyboard works well with nice key spring - one can type quite fast with it. The case is easy to detach because it is held magnetically - some may prefer a more solid connection to the keyboard, but overall it has worked for us. If you are a heavy keyboard user and/or a key banger like my wife, the keys will wear out after a couple years, including a few that come loose. Missing keys are not a fatal flaw as the button still works. Overall, this is a great product.

Me gusto mucho, el iPad muy bien protegido, el Apple Pencil carga al ponerlo en la base. Lo recomiendo bastante.

Me encantó !!!

Works great with an iPad Air. USB-C charging. Better typing feel than the comparable Apple keyboard cover. I like how you can use it as a case or remove the keyboard altogether. Great battery life.

This product is great. It types excellent. The instructions could be a bit better. I contacted the manufacturer and they called me back right away. Can’t say enough to get that type of service. Had questions regarding the charging of the product. The representative was so friendly and helpful. Also their website is helpful as well. I use an Apple iPad Pro and it was so easy to pair. It also paired to my phone so I could type instread of using the small keyboard on the phone. Over all excellent product especially the price. Unfortunately it stopped working. Couldn't pair it again or charge it. Because I purchased through Amazon company wouldn't assist in reolacements

First thing is that the picture lies to you. I expected the iPad to sit up high off the keyboard. It does not. The iPad 10 must sit down on the keyboard for the keyboard to work. There is no mechanism to get that iPad up high like the picture. However, everything works perfect. It offers great protection and the keyboard is easy to type on. I have used Zagg for other iPads and have never been disappointed with their service and quality of product. My last keyboard developed a stuck key, and after contacting Zagg, they just sent me another keyboard which worked perfect until I retired the iPad. I haven’t had the opportunity to drop my new iPad and keyboard from a height, but I am sure this will work as well as my previous keyboard, which I did drop. Very happy with this purchase.
