Apple Smart Keyboard For Ipad Mini 1

For this iPad i had two options. The Smart Keyboard from apple or this. And I’m glad i chose those. The keyboard has a trackpad and a place to keep the apple pencil which i though i wont really need but found to be super useful.

I protect my iPad really well as preserve the functionality of the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio for 11 iPad Pro. I don't need to remove this protective case to use the keyboard, hence reducing the risk that the iPad get damaged if accidently falls. The magnets allow the iPad and keyboard to remain fixed but in case of fall these will be easily disconnected causing the iPad to get damaged. Additionally, installation is easy, fits like a glove and very easy to carry and use.

My ipad is older and my Apple keyboard wasn’t working. I didn’t want to invest the money for a new Apple Smart keyboard which was very lightweight for use in my lap. I use my ipad a lot in the evening while watching TV and it is in my lap. So, the ZAGG keyboard works very well. It is quick to the touch, wakes up quickly, and no complaints with performance. I will have to charge it at some point which I didn’t have to do with my Smart Keyboard. My only complaint is it is more protection and weight than I like. My lightweight ipad now weighs a lot more with this heavy case, which I didn’t care about. But it solved my problem and hopefully will last the remaining life of my iPad Pro 9.7.

Good size, can carry the iPad Pro with the Apple iPad keyboard attached. Smart zippers that prevent pick pockets from opening the zippers too easily Lots of compartments for a bag so small Easy to put on and off. I like the features that enable this. The fabric is slightly wrinkled on the outward surface part near the upper seams. But this is a very minor cosmetic issue.

Very fast, well made keyboard that, of course, goes perfectly with my Apple Mini!

I bought this to replace the 5 1/2 year old Smart Keyboard for my 3rd generation iPad Pro. I used the old keyboard extensively with the iPad, eventually wearing it out. Given how much I enjoyed using the old keyboard and how long it lasted, it was an easy decision to replace it with essentially the same device. The only difference between the old and new keyboard is the size of the back camera opening, which is larger on this newer version. I also prefer this keyboard over Apple's Magic Keyboard because I can fold it back behind the iPad for reading a book, which the Magic Keyboard doesn't do.

After several efforts to make an iPad more than just a browsing and gaming gadget, I dove deeper with the 2018 iPad Pro 11 inch. iOS 13 convinced me that the iPad might be more useful than previously. The iOS makes a big difference, but having a real keyboard to use with it, made the iPAD Pro a home run. I'm very satisfied with this keyboards performance and functionality. The Apple smart keyboard is too limited for my needs (think: emaciated super model) and the big bulky overbuilt keyboards negate the advantages of the iPads diminutive size. I can't speak to it's durability as I've only had it a couple of months. So far so good. I'm actually using the iPad Pro more and more for emails, writing and everyday tasks that I gave up on with my previous iPAD 2 and iPAD Air 2. It is quickly becoming a replacement for my MBP for mobile computing needs. The Logitech Slim Folio Pro, along with an Apple Pencil is a big part of that transition.

I have both the Apple Megic Keyboard and this keyboard. I like this better. The typing experience is just as good - plus, it offers protection the the ipad. Choose this is you don't know whiuch one to get. Also, it's significantly cheaper.

i really didn't want to spend so much money for this keyboard with No Function Keys, like i had on my Brydge Keyboard ( junk, don't buy it ) i read the reviews on Limited Viewing Angle. i wanted Backlit Keys for sure. my Smart Keyboard is a disappointment, so i expected better this time around. when i first got the Magic, it Froze my Screen & App for about 4-5 times, which freaked me out a little. now all is well, i Like it, works great. No Internal Battery to worry about not holding a charge like other 3rd party keyboards ( runs off IPad Battery ) cmd & H is the Home Key combo, the Audio still has to be Adjusted with the Top Buttons or the Swipe Down Control Center. i am very happy to have a Well Working Apple Keyboard for my 12.9 IPad Pro. you will too but it is very pricey like everything Apple

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] have purchased a lot of covers for my iPad and this one was the only one that was a keeper. Compared to the Apple Magic Keyboard they both charge via the iPad port, but the keyboard on the Magic Keyboard is not removable which can lead to problems at times. Offers great protection and the keyboard functions just as an Apple branded product. Easy to link with your iPad and works right out of the box. Durable and more lightweight than a Magic Keyboard. Magnet strength is great hold the iPad tightly in place. At half the price if the Apple Magic Keyboard is a better investment. Great value and product!
