magic keyboard uses magnetic attachment, simply a flat piece of panel with magnet built in. this has a all-around cover that probably provides better protection?
Nah, I cracked my Pro 11" screen in this case no probs, simply by knocking it against a desk. The rubber edging provides little to zero additional protection - though I'd rather have it than not.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVED this case. Obviously I'm too clumsy to own one, and I now use an Otterbox.
Great case for grown ups though, and the keyboard is quite nice for what it is.
I bought this only for the “surface style” stand. If people using keyboard very often, go for the magic keyboard
Depends. I dislike the Magic Keyboard because it doesn't tilt enough. Combo Touch is also better if you like to use your iPad for illustration while at a desk/table.
I recently got the Magic Keyboard. I agree… it doesn’t tilt enough. And I find cramped for space when using the top number rows. But it looks better. Haha.
Damn apple straight up copied logitechs combo touch. That kinda sucks.
The Apple one is very good though and solid… and backlit
this is also backlit.
I've been using this for a while, it's good but does add quite a bit of weight to the whole unit.
does it feel like typing on a cardboard or does it actually feel like you are typing on a Macbook? I remember typing on the Surface Pro 3 keyboard and it was really bad for me.
The key travel is short but does the job well enough for me. Only problem is typing on your lap is a bit wonky.
Logitech Combo Touch Oxford Grey for iPad Air 4th/5th Gen has also been reduced to $199.
Got one, thank you!
love mine
Is this worth using over the Magic Keyboard? Anyone tried it? I have the Magic Keyboard but would be good to be able to quickly disconnect the screen from the keyboard.
EDIT: 12.9" on sale for $179: https://www.amazon.com.au/Logitech-Combo-Touch-Oxford-12-9-i…
Being able to disconnect it from the screen is very nice, and you still have the tilt mechanism when you take the keyboard off. Neat tilt mechanism too!
Magic keyboard has an independent charge port as well.
I have a magic for the 11” and would be torn. It’s the best keyboard short of a macbook I’ve ever had. I’d be tempted by the money saved but I’d encourage anyone to try to get a hands on at a store somewhere before choosing.
Yes, it is better than the Magic Keyboard. The key is the kickstand, which is fantastic for using iPad without the keyboard.
Dunno why you got negged. I also loved the kickstand. I also thought the keyboard was pretty good, but I've never tried a magic keyboard, so…
How this compare to iPad 11”?
Sorry How this compare to iPad 12.9”?
Got excited as I thought this one had a row of F keys - but it looks like it does not.
That's my main gripe with the Apple MK.
Love my Apple MK but yeah definitely not worth the price tag imo.
Can confirm this one does have a row of Function keys (see pic 5 on Amazon), which was one of my reasons for choosing this over the Apple MK
Are these ones compatible with the new generations 2022 models, 11inch and 12 inch? Thanks
Physical dimensions are exactly the same, not sure about electrical contacts. If still using the exact same 3 pins, should be compatible.
the latest one is 6th gen. Will it be compatible with this keyboard as the description said up to 3rd gen
iPad Pro 11, latest 4th gen with M2 coming next week. 3rd gen with M1. This is NOT compatible with iPad or iPad Air or iPad mini.
I have this for my iPad Pro 11" and recommend it. Makes it heavier but I appreciate the flexibility of the stand plus a keyboard and trackpad for when I want to type stuff. With the keyboard on, the iPad is completely covered too.
Looking at getting one of these, quick question for people who have this case already - when you use it with the keyboard detached, can you fit a Smart Cover or similar?
I have this as well. It does add a fair bit of weight and bulk but it's within reason. The one thing I really hate is that my old cheapo no-brand ipad pro case had pencil holder so the pencil doesn't fall out by accident and this does not so.
Got it. Don't know why I got it though.
Mebbe you wanted a keyboard case for your iPad Pro..?
Oh yeah I can give this to my wife. I don't have an iPad.
I price match it with JB and use the Amex offer to have another $15 discount
Price has changed
I bought same price from Ebay and with Ebay Plus discount.
I got it today. It's very good quality. My wife is really happy with it.
There are 2 varients out at the moment. Did you get the one with + and - shaped volume buttons or with oval volume buttons?
Are there any differences in the technical specs between the two versions? I didn't notice the volume control but my wife is absolutely loving every bit of it.
Not that I know of, hard to find any info but looks more just a cosmetic update. The older large single speaker hole design has a tendency to stretch and bulge away from the case so I'm assuming they've updated the design to address that issue.
@bigbadboogieman: Thank you! That is good - this is the revised design :)
For those that bought, which version did you receive? Looks like they've recently tweaked the case design https://imgur.com/a/8q2AJ84

I’d say the Magic Keyboard is better, but yes twice the price.
This is great value never the less
