Very useful (but expensive) addition
I was in 2 minds as to whether get the keyboard or not. It has mixed reviews, but I’m really glad I got it. The keys don’t have an enormous amount of travel, but I find them really good to type on. It doesn’t need charging because its powered by the iPAD - its a relatively slim case. It isn’t backlit, and obviously doesn’t have a trackpad because of the lack of mouse support on iOS. All in all I’m glad I bought it. It’s worth trying one in a store if you can, but I think it’s almost an essential add on. It is VERY expensive for what you get though..

As thin as a keyboard case can be
Never bought a keyboard for an iPad before due to the added bulk. Have always gone for a thin folio case for this reason. This apple keyboard case is very nearly the same size as my old case which is perfect. Frees up a lot of valuable screen real estate as the virtual keyboard is not needed. Also has two viewing angle as opposed just one.

Best keyboard
If you want something light, easy to type with, no battery, instant connect, then this is great. Expensive new but hunt for bargains can reveal much better prices

Comparable with the original price keyboard
The keyword is well-functioned, which can be comparable with the product of the original price. It can be smoothly inserted into the iPad and connects with Bluetooth directly without difficulty. Of course, the holding of the iPad and keyword may not be so tight that the user should note when adjusting the angle of the screen.

If you fine one cheap, get it.
Ive had Bluetooth keyboards in the past, but invariably, every time I go to use them, the battery has run out. Enter the Smart Folio Keyboard. With the smart connector that draws power from the iPad it’s always ready to go. The keyboard itself has a nice action, and it’s surprisingly slim when closed and easy to remove due to the magnetic attachment. It also works quite well typing on your lap. 4 start out of 5 as I wish it had dedicated shortcut keys. Yes, if you hold down the command key, a dialog box pops up showing a list of keyboard shortcuts, but I’d still rather have some dedicated shortcut keys. Also, this model, unlike the magic keyboard doesn’t have a trackpad, but it can be found much cheaper than the magic keyboard. It a worthwhile sacrifice considering the price difference.

Quality at a price
Great build quality and fit, doesn't make the iPad bulky and heavy like other folios, however, this comes at a cost of being the most expensive folio for iPad Pro on the market. The improvements it could do with is back-lit keys and multi-media controls. However, that would probably come at the cost of battery life and possibly size and weight.

Worthy of the Apple brand
The keyboard came fully wrapped and sealed. When the box was open a fantastic product came out with multi stand options and the keyboard makes it much easier to type accurately.

I love it
I thought it might be a bit flimsy or hard to carry around with my iPad in an upright position, but I'm glad to be proven wrong. This is a great bit of kit, and although I've only had it a few weeks, I can really see it breaking from wear and tear like the hinges on my Brydge keyboard. The cost new would probably be an issue, but I bought mine refurbished and it's immaculate. Highly recommended!

No other better option to connection and charging
Apple keyboard connects and charges seamlessly with the iPad hence it is very convenient. I wish though that it would have better protection for the iPad by wrapping around the corners rather than just through magnets. There is no other better option as bluetooth keyboards need charging and to be connected manually.

Apple Smart Keyboard Folio for 11 inch iPad Pro
Was delighted with my purchase as in great condition for a used product and managed to get it at a fraction of the price if bought new.
