I have been using an Apple Smart Keyboard Folio for my iPad for three years, but it started malfunctioning after I graduated from college. I was looking for a keyboard that could hold my Apple Pencil and be more durable than the Apple Smart Keyboard, and this product met all my expectations. I am thrilled with it. The keyboard is robust, and the iPad feels secure in the separate case. I like that I can use the iPad in different orientations, and the shortcuts on the keyboard are convenient. The keyboard is backlit, which is helpful in low-light settings. Another advantage is that I can turn off the keyboard when my toddler is using the iPad. Additionally, it is more affordable than the Apple Smart Keyboard. The only feature I cannot review is the battery life, but I will update my review after testing it for a while.
