And convenient front and back protection when you don’t. No charging or pairing required. Review: Very light and great keyboard - Super light, and the typing experience is very nice. I had heard mixed reviews about the typing and keys and was skeptical, but I like how light the keys are and I like the sound. They are also sealed off, so no worries with spilling anything into the keys. Great being able to fold the keyboard back and use as a normal iPad. No trackpad is completely fine. It's not a laptop, I like using the screen as a big phone anyway. No backlit keys doesn't bother me, since I don't look at the keyboard while I type. I would definitely reccomend this to someone over the magic keyboard. It fits my needs much better and is half the price. Review: OMG, amazing THIN keyboard case! - I balked at paying the high price, but I couldn’t find a cheap iPad Pro 11 2020 cover that was available in less than 3 weeks due to the coronavirus shipping slowdown on desertcart. After dropping my 10.5 and cracking the screen (open case, no screen protector), I didn’t want to take any chances with this new expensive tablet. I’m so happy I ordered this case (along with a glass screen protector!) and I got it in 2 days. The keyboard works great, no need to connect and reconnect. And you can fold it back for use without the keyboard, especially when in portrait mode. The build is solid. Magnets secure it to the ipad’s front and back, and it feels as sturdy as a small laptop. The keyboard is smaller than my Magic Keyboard but it takes no time at all to get used to this one. Keys aren’t as responsive but you get used to that too if you’re a good old school “typist” like me. I don’t know how Apple made this thing so thin but sturdy. Also love that the outside of the case is not slick or slippery. Feels velvety (not tacky) and secure in the hands or on a surface when folded closed. The only con you might see is the aluminum edges on 3 sides are not covered. But that leaves one long edge open for charging my pencil. I still feel the cost is high and I probably wouldn’t have considered this purchase if there were cheaper cases available in 2 days. But I’m actually glad I had to. And it will be great for travel. In the meantime I may never buy a cheaper everyday case for normal use. I like this one too much! ## Features - WHY SMART KEYBOARD FOLIO — Smart Keyboard Folio is a comfortable keyboard for iPad when you need one, and it provides front and back protection when you don’t.

I like this one too much! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Significantly enhances the experience of using an iPad Pro/Air *by P***P on December 26, 2020* I bought this unit as a gift for family, but I have one of the 2018 models which is almost identical excluding the larger camera cutout. It significantly enhances the experience of using an iPad. I've have iPads for years before this, and I used the iPad Pro with the Pencil for several months before receiving the keyboard, and it was honestly not useful beyond streaming videos and FaceTiming before I got the keyboard. The addition of this keyboard made chats, emails, notes, reminders, etc actually pleasant to use on the iPad. For one, the hardware keyboard is far faster and lower effort to type passwords. chats, and search terms on, and it also has the advantage of not needing to load up a software keyboard that fills half the screen in landscape. It's also acts as a useful stand when laying it on a table, and a counterweight when laying down on a couch or on the bed. It also does not prevent portrait mode usage, as it will fold away behind the screen and the keys will not register any presses when that occurs. That being said, it is still very expensive. I bought this on sale, so the value is there for me. At full price, it's hard to swallow, but it really is so key for the experience. I considered the Magic Keyboard Folio too, but that doesn't fold backwards and it's significantly more expensive (and has fewer sales). This keyboard does have the relative disadvantage of having only two angles, but it's been sufficient during daily usage. Also, I'd like to note that the key action is quite soft versus full size/laptop keyboards, but it's not a deal breaker for me, and it still significantly adds to the experience. It's far more convenient than needing to pull out a separate bluetooth keyboard. Having this always available and attached to the iPad is a key part of the value proposition versus other keyboards, and it's easy to detach if needed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/425340109-apple-smart-keyboard-folio-ipad-keyboard-case-for-ipad-pro](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/425340109-apple-smart-keyboard-folio-ipad-keyboard-case-for-ipad-pro) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
