ESR iPad Pro 11 Inch Case with Keyboard (M5/M4, 2025/2024), iPad Pro 11(5th) Keyboard Case with Easy-Set Magnetic Stand, Portrait/Landscape Modes, Removable Protective Case, Rebound 360 Series, Black

I had the iPad Pro 11 M1 and decided to upgrade to the new for 2025, iPad Pro 11 M5. Not only did I have to buy the new Apple Pencil Pro to work with the new iPad, but my keyboard case for the iPad M1 was no longer compatible. I could have bought the new Apple Magic Keyboard, but really? It's over $300. So off to research new Keyboard cases and ESR, a company I trust (I have two ESR Cases for my iPhone 17 Pro Max and every device we own has ESR Armorite Screen Protectors) and this iPad Pro 11 M5 Rebound 360 case was very favorably reviewed. It comes nicely packaged and includes a USB C to USB A cable (though that's the only thing ESR should change as it should be USB C to USB C) with an easy to follow multi-language user guide and warranty card, you can scan to extend the warranty to two years. Setting up the Keyboard Case couldn't be simple. I did charge it out of the box, but it must have had a good charge to begin with as it was fully charged in about 20 minutes. Then press the power button for about 2 seconds to wake the keyboard. To pair it with your iPad, press the FN/Globe key and the B key until you see the Bluttooth blue pairing light flash. Open settings on your iPad > Bluetooth - look for the ESR Keyboard and tap there to pair. Boom, you're all ready to go. While the 11 inch keyboard case doesn't come with dedicated function keys (the 13 inch one does), you still have all the functions you need. Just tap hold the FN/Globe key and look at the number keys, where all the functions can be adjusted, like Volume Up/Down, Screen Brightness, Changing Audio Tracks, Etc. The Keyboard also has 12 RGB backlit key colors you can choose from or the ability to not use any backlit option. The case is very Apple Magic Keyboard-esque in its design. Of notable goodness is you put your iPad in a nice quality protective case and then attach the case with your iPad magnetically to the Keyboard case. The case doesn't take much effort to open and it offers significantly more flexibility in terms of where you can place your iPad. You can for example, raise the iPad higher if you want, which the Apple case can't accommodate. And you can even place the iPad in Portrait orientation, which the Apple case can't accommodate. Do note that if you place your iPad in a higher position, it needs to be on a very stable workspace as it could topple over. This case as mentioned is Bluetooth. I prefer that over the way Apple's case works, which powers the keyboard by three pins on the back of the iPad when attached to their case. The reason I prefer ESR's approach is if your iPad isn't plugged in when using Apple's case, the iPad is using the battery to power the keyboard. If you're out and about, it can drain your battery pretty quickly (and yes, I had an Apple Magic Keyboard). Since the ESR case isn't using power from your iPad to run your Keyboard, there's much less to worry about if you can't get to a power source to plug your iPad in to charge. Finally, ESR provides a magnetic flap to keep your Apple Pencil Pro safely stored on the case when you're not using it or traveling about virtually eliminating any risk of losing your Pencil. All the buttons on the case your iPad is in are clicky and responsive and all they cutouts for speakers and USB C charging port are perfectly aligned. I'm mightily impressed with this ESR Keyboard Case for iPad Pro M5. For less than a THIRD of the cost of the Magic Keyboard, you get a high quality, yet affordable option, which coming from ESR means it will stand the test of time.

I got a more expensive recommended brand keyboard case when I got the iPad. It has been ratty about half that time. I wanted to be able to carry the iPad without the keyboard, so wanted another detachable case. I took a chance on this one. So far, so good. I like that it has its own case and that the keyboard and magnetic backing are separate from the case. Because of the magnet, I am able to place the case vertically or horizontally. I am also able to adjust the height. I use the keyboard when I am working on something that requires a lot of typing it works well and I like the colored back lights. This is much nicer than my old one. I hope it continues to function as it has so far.

It's a lot thicker than I was expecting. Coming from the Apple Magic Keyboard, the ESR one feels twice as thick. It's a lot heavier too. That said, I really like how it holds the pencil down securely. I've also find myself appreciating how I can put the iPad Pro in portrait mode, or, when in landscape mode raise it a couple of inches and the magnet can still hold it in place. So lots of flexibility on how to orient the iPad itself. That, plus the price argument, and how it works just like you would expect a keyboard to, make it a great alternative to the Magic Keyboard.

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 😂

La mejor marca, La mejor calidad, La mejor batería, y Mejor que el original y por el mejor precio, a este precio encontrar un te lado para el ipad es imposible, los más baratos tienen imanes que no agarran, e incluso comparándolo con una marca como belkin los imanes son mucho más fuertes y seguros, además, la funda es una adición increíble, poderlo quitar sin tener miedo de resbalar o caer es muy bueno, lo único que me gustaría agregar sería un sujetador para el apple pencil directo en la funda, de ahí en fuera, no tiene competencia, ni el de apple oficial.

Amazing product, very high quality and durable. At first the keyboard seemed to be very slow and lagging but I found out it was due to settings in the accessibility under slow keys. Besides that, spot on

Excelente producto, lo único es que le falta un poco de inclinación pero funciona de maravilla, ampliamente recomendado.

Well priced, great form factor and the keys don't feel cheap. Best of all, absolutely stellar customer service Keyboard: very nice feel, great range of back lights and no lag when typing. Personally did not miss the function row on the 11 inch, did not find it was too bothersome to hold funtion and another key. Price: great for its form factor and functionality Stand functionality: very sturdy, a bit weighty but helps with stability when open. Protection: weighty but it feels very protective. I would count this as a win especially as these devices are so pricey. Customer service: The best I've come across. Replied within 24 hours EVEN ON A WEEKEND. I did have some trouble with the trackpad, but we found out quickly that it was a faulty model. Best part is that they offered to send a replacement/refund without needing me to send the priduct back. On this alone I will continue to look at ESR products.

The keyboard is heavier than I thought it would be but it works as intended + love that I can change the orientation of the ipad when using.
