ESR iPad Pro 11 Inch Case with Keyboard (M4, 2024), iPad Pro 11(5th Gen) Keyboard Case with Easy-Set Magnetic Stand, Portrait/Landscape Modes, Removable Protective Case, Rebound 360 Series, Blue

This is a fantastic case! It is easy to use and provides great all-around protection for the iPad. All of the corners of the iPad are well-covered and button access is fully enabled. The Bluetooth pairing is seamless and the trackpad works well.The placement of the iPad in either horizontal or vertical use is effective and easy with a magnetic attachment to the case. The stand is at a fixed angle but the angle works well.The only downsides of this case are:1) its weight (slightly heavier and thicker than the Apple Magic Keyboard, but 1/3 the price — and the ESR case provides much better iPad protection); and2) lack of a dedicated storage partition for the Apple Pencil (which is easily knocked off if not being used while the case is open.) This latter challenge is also present on the Apple Magic Keyboard, without a flap to hold the pencil in place while traveling.Overall, this product is a great value. It is a highly functional case, with the biggest problem being the Apple Pencil storage while the case is open. If you don't use the Apple Pencil regularly and do want a great keyboard case, this is one you should purchase.

I just got the iPad M4 11 inch and I was looking for a nice keyboard case that I could detach the iPad from as needed. I liked the idea of the Apple Magic Keyboard but (1) I was NOT paying $350, that’s wild, (2) I didn’t like the fact that there wasn’t a case or some sort of shell for the iPad to be in when detached from the keyboard (for $350 you would think they’d give you something), and (3) there was no way to secure the Apple Pencil (it magnetizes to your iPad but I want to make sure it STAYS there, again for $350 you think there would be something).I looked into other options as well and found some cool options from Typecase which is apparently a pretty popular brand, they even had their own version of the Magic Keyboard at a lower price ($100ish) but it was the same thing with the same things missing.That’s where this beautiful keyboard comes in! I LOVE it! First of all the material is fabulous feels so high quality. It’s like a silicone based materiel that feels buttery smooth and soft. The keyboard is amazing as well and the backlighting is great! The case is a little weighty but it is NOT heavy!This case comes with a shell to go on your iPad that you can use on and off the keyboard. I also really appreciate the fact that the closure is made to further secure the Apple Pencil to the iPad when not in use (I don’t know about you but I’m not willing to lose $129 because I bumped the pencil off of my iPad)I know I could talk about connectivity to the iPad, smoothness of the trackpad, keyboard quality, etc as well but everyone else did a great job talking about all of those things with this great keyboard so I decided to hit why I like this better than that overpriced and under-protective Magic Keybord! 😂This is everything I wanted in a keyboard and I’m super happy with it! Hope this helps!Ps: sorry I don’t have the iPad in the case at the moment, it’s charging and I really wanted to to get this review up 😂

Here's the thing - with this product I think it comes down to your priorities. For the price point, it's just fantastic, but there are trade offs. Depending on how important those are to you, you may or may not want to choose this product.Here are the things that are great (to me): the pricing is excellent. It really is a good value for what you receive. I think my favorite thing about it is the versatility. If you want to take the ipad off it's very easy because it's magnetic. Then I can place it on a table and write with my Apple Pencil - but the ipad is still protected on the back and sides. I like that the keys are backlit and they feel good when typing. The trackpad works really well - it's responsive and has a great feel. I also love that there is a flap that holds the Apple Pencil in place when the whole thing is closed.Here are the not so great things (to me): it's very thick when closed up and quite heavy. Not a big deal if you're not lugging it around much, but if you are it is significantly thicker and heavier than the Apple Magic Keyboard. It connects to the ipad via Bluetooth, so you have to charge it.

Pros:- protects all sides and corners of the IPad very well- allows iPad to be positioned vertically- significantly more affordable than Magic Keyboard (which doesn’t even come with a case)- has its own battery (Magic keyboard runs off of the iPad’s battery)Cons:- No pass through charging for the IPad. Both need to be charged separately but the keyboard’s charge lasts quite a while (haven’t had to charge it more than the first time in the month that I’ve had it)- Slightly thicker and heavier than Magic Keyboard + separate case.- IPad cant be tilted back as far as on the Magic Keyboard.I bought this ESR keyboard/case, the “Typecase Touch” keyboard that rotates a bit, and the Magic Keyboard + Spigen Enzo Case.I got the Magic Keyboard so the iPad and Keyboard could be charged via the single USB port on the Magic Keyboard, leaving the USB on the IPad free but it’s a steep price to pay for the convenience.. $55 for the Spigen Enzo case, ~$300 for the keyboard vs. ~$92 for the ESR keyboard/cover that charges separately. The Magic Keyboard is covered under AppleCare but realistically the ESR case could be replace 3x for the price of the Magic Keyboard + Case.*Havent tried the Typecase yet. Mostly use the Magic Keyboard/Spigen combo because I’ve already bought it, it’s covered under AppleCare if damaged, I prefer the amount of tilt it allows and it’s nice to charge through the Keyboard. That being said, if I had to choose one it would be this ESR for the price and better protection.
