Questions & Answers

Is it possible to fold the keyboard back into the iPad when it's not in use, and would the keys be disabled?

Fold the keyboard back and you'll find that the keys will be disabled when you do so

Despite having a keyboard that I adore, my MacBook Pro has a nice display. ?

My recommendation would be Logitech keyboard if you are searching for something similar to a Mac

The iPad doesn't come with an app to remove it. Is it possible? Would I be able to take off the keyboard if I had a case and this keyboard?

In short, yes. Although the keyboard is quite thin, it doesn't significantly increase the iPad's depth.

Selected User Reviews For Apple Smart Keyboard Folio (for 12.9-inch iPad Pro, 3rd Generation) - US English

I have the one for the Ipad Pro 3rd generation, 2565GB
3/5

A gray area. In an effort to speed up my meeting process instead of unplugging my Surface Laptop or Surface Pro, and taking either to the meeting, I sought something allowing me to faster go through the meetings. The iPad is attached to it with magnets, just as all Apple products are. As opposed to a hard surface, it's easier to sit on your lap, which puts more stress on your It can also be used if you want to adjust it into one of the two angles available. This means there are no protections at all. Since the magnets on this device are weak, it offers no protection for the iPad, and since it can easily become detached, which you should be aware of. There are $9's in a dollar. How do I get them? Wouldn't it have been nice to have smaller keys, Apple? It would be so easy to put larger keys there. Unlike the real keyboard on my Surface products, which are quite quiet, these are very loud, but they do appear durable - much louder than the real keyboard I had hoped for. It has so far been a good experience. Let's get to the good stuff Any battery use so far has been good, but then the iPad Pro is a good battery performer.

Slim, as you would expect it to be since there is no case. As well as being light, it has a long battery life. It is far superior to the small keyboard of smaller iPads to have a virtual keyboard on the iPad Pro. With iOS 12, you'll find a button with number 12 at the bottom. 9" in height. Regardless, you have to ask yourself whether a physical keyboard is all you really need.

It folds up nicely even with a glass screen protector, but the magnet does not stay in place very well. In summary, Apple is charging $200 for a $40 keyboard. It is likely that I will return this keyboard and wait for an aftermarket one to be released or even wait until the keyboard can be exchanged A lit, which this is not. In my opinion, anything Apple produces does not automatically captivate me, so that cannot be said for anything Apple produces. Furthermore, it's a product that comes nowhere near the earlier models, and, even with the Apple tax, there's no justification for its heftier price tag.

Is it really going to be dropped? negative reviews for this product are based on the assumption that the product was designed to protect the iPad (it wasn't)
5/5

This light, thin keyboard case is designed as a SCRATCH-resistant case for both the front and back of the iPad (which it is). When you drop a 12, it really will make a difference. Unless you plan on running your iPad Pro on a desktop that's permanently mounted on top of your desk in your cubicle, you'd better stick with the 9. 4" model. As I travel frequently for work, I've had my 1st Gen iPad Pro plugged into the keyboard case for 3 years now, and I've never dropped The case is entirely missing, and my keyboard is barely scratched even after slipping it across the table for years. Those who are able to hold onto their Apple products should definitely consider this keyboard.

Apple is here! The IPad Pro 12 is my daily workhorse and I use this keyboard on it
5/5

It is very practical in every sense. It's great to be able to work with The keys are easy to carry and stay in place thanks to the sturdy material. As far as the overall case or should I say keyboard, stand, and screen protector go, they are nice, and the user-friendly connectivity is superb. the keyboard on the I. & I. Feel free to type away) The magnetic grip is impressively Now I am using it and I will update later. The ZW.

You've got a nice keyboard
4/5

If you want to use your iPad in portrait mode, you need to switch to landscape mode first. Of course, there are many pros to this nice keyboard. Suitable for a wide variety of uses, it is lightweight, easy to use, durable, sturdy, convenient, etc. It's easy to use and really effective. THE EXCEPTION IS This is a major con as well If you want to use your iPad in portrait mode, it does not work. (This seems like a rather important flaw, especially for an Apple product. Several apps (Sktchy, for example), must run in portrait mode in order to function. In the future, I hope they will address this issue.

Your money is wasted if you spend it on a useless venture
3/5

A piece of mail falls off an Internet-connected computer There is constant scrolling on the pad, a lack of visibility for the keys, and sometimes the keys do not It's so much better to have the old version.

It should have a keyboard backlight
3/5

If it had a keyboard backlight, it would be perfect. The keyboard backlight would increase the price a lot.

I'm really happy with the price, but it is very expensive
4/5

The short version D. R.
At first I was very skeptical, but I am entirely satisfied with this purchase and would come back for more. There is one downside to this product which is that you're gonna pay way too much for it, but I'm not going to get into it any further. complaint I have seen about it not protecting edges is true, but I haven't had a problem since I started using it. I've been using the keyboard so far, and it's working great. Having backlit keys would be nice, but one might argue that the fact that it uses the iPad's own battery rather than an internal battery might be.

That's a good choice, especially since there aren't any others to choose from
4/5

Although this keyboard is somewhat pricey, that is standard for all Apple products. I do not know why others are so disappointed with it. When you pay for quality and name, you get what you paid for. IF you are using version 12 or later, this works. The iPad is the only source of power, and there are no batteries with it. The keys on the back cover deactivate when you fold it back so that you can hold it in this manner without fear of hitting them. Adding color options would be nice. There are cheaper versions that use Bluetooth, but that is such a hassle. These smart connectors ensure the device will always work regardless of the setting.
