ESR iPad Air 11 Inch Case with Keyboard (M3,2025/M2,2024) & iPad Pro 11/Air 5/4 Gen Keyboard, Easy-Set Magnetic Stand, Portrait/Raised Modes, with Removable Protective Case, Black【NOT for Pro 11 M4】

The media could not be loaded. Cons:- Heavier than Magic Keyboard and some of the other keyboard cases like this.- I’ve noticed a tiny bit of glitchiness with the trackpad. It seems that it’s sometimes detecting a 3-finger gesture when I use 2 fingers, and 2-finger gestures when I’m using 1 finger. I’m not sure if it’s just super sensitive or there’s another issue with the trackpad, but it’s been a minor issue for me thus far that doesn’t happen often.Pros:- Personally, I LOVE the color! I love LAVENDER, not orchid or lilac, or other pinkish light purples. It’s the right shade of pale purple without the extra pink. Perfect (for me)! :D- This comes with the matching iPad case that attaches to the keyboard as advertised. It’s nice to know that IF I drop it, there’ll be some protection against the sides getting damaged.- The keyboard case will connect automatically when the iPad is opened. Other cases will need you to touch a key or something, which, you’ll still need to do if the case went to sleep while the case wasn’t closed.- If you use the battery widget like I do, it will display the keyboard’s battery percentage! I LOVE that feature because there’s less worrying about how long I have before it runs out!- The function key options all work, and I haven’t had any problems in typing (and I type a lot!).- The iPad can be mounted in different heights and in portrait mode. One perk of the keyboard being Bluetooth instead of connected by pins (like the Magic Keyboard) is that you can still use the keyboard and trackpad in portrait mode and off-center mounted!- The case is soft and silky to the touch… I personally love that!- The skin for the iPad is thin where the stylus connects and doesn’t interfere with its charging.- The magnetic flap will magnetically stick to the back of the case and be securely out of the way. At first, it curls back over the front of the case, but sticking it magnetically to the back has made that flap less rigid and doesn’t curl forward anymore.All around, I personally love this case! The only con was that it is a bit heavier because of the added skin and that the keyboard has its own battery (versus the Magic Keyboard case which doesn’t). The trackpad’s glitchiness doesn’t occur often, but of course when it does I’m annoyed for a second.I’d highly recommend this case just for that extra iPad case on top of the keyboard. The color of the case and keyboard match each other which is another plus.On a personal note, the PERFECT case would have pins to connect and power the keyboard directly, as well as charge the iPad through the keyboard like the Magic Keyboard cases do. An innovation would be a second set of pins on the keyboard case to allow a portrait mode connection for charging and keyboard connection. That would make this the only case I’d ever need :p! But, in the meantime, this is perfect for my productivity and stylus uses with my iPad!

I am going to compare how I feel about this case to the product it is likely duping, the Magic Keyboard. I have never owned the product, but I have owned numerous Apple products, and I got some thoughts...The ESR case is wickedly good quality. The case has a satisfying, velvety smooth finish, and the keys are responsive and nicely spaced. I usually make lots of typos with these bluetooth keyboards, but this one is designed very nicely, for me. The whole aesthetic of the product is cool, and you can't beat the value vs the genuine article.The inclusion of a silicone case is a MASSIVE boon, and the main reason I chose the ESR over all other cases. Since I hate leaving the edges of the iPad unprotected in my bag, no other case would tick all the boxes. This, in my opinion, is the best that you can get for the aesthetic and the build quality.One con I can mention is that the weight of the iPad is substantially increased when using both parts of the case. If you were, say, also carrying a laptop or a lot of books with you, I would recommend not taking the entire setup with you, and picking between the silicone case or the keyboard and leaving the other behind.For those in the know, the Apple Pencil Pro loves this case. Despite all my other former 11" iPad cases causing issues when writing/drawing, this one plays very nicely with it. I have not experienced any issues, and hope it stays that way.I am so stoked to be able to stop looking for a case that will work for my needs. If you like the form factor of this case, and don't care about your keyboard charging your iPad or whatever, I say get this case. The value is unmatched. I see myself using this pretty much every day.

First, I would say this is 3.5 stars but I’m rounding up. I think it would be great for ~80% of people.Here’s what I like:- cost - it’s about a third the price of the official Apple product- full coverage - the magnetic thin case fully covers your iPad and the flap secures the Pencil- the keyboard - I love the backlit colors. The official product (for iPad Air anyway) doesn’t have that feature- battery life - the keyboard itself needs to be charged separately from the iPad however it seems to last forever. I’ve never had to recharge it in the ~month I had itOkay here’s what I don’t like, and why I ultimately decided to return it:- weight - about double the weight of the official keyboard. Having an Air was due to its size and weight and having a really heavy attachment negated that- Bluetooth vs auto connect - the Bluetooth lag isn’t too bad, but it’s not automatic and it slightly annoyed me. The worst part, though, was I felt it made the keyboard buggy (some keys didn’t work, had to reset/disconnect and reconnect.Now back to the weight, which I feel is the issue. While it’s great that it is very protective, it makes the iPad heavy to tote around. Since it has a magnetic thin case (I love this on its own tbh, I’d buy it) the magnet doesn’t stick to surfaces as advertised. Like, I would not trust this to just stick on my fridge. It’s not strong enough.Also due to the weight, I felt it made the device weight disproportionately distributed and sometimes it would topple back if I was trying to view at a certain angle. It also wouldn’t always stay at the angle I wanted because the case. After a couple weeks, you could begin to see the creases in the case which I did not expect.Finally, while the fit was great and I love that it’s basically a two in one case, it is super thick, about 50% thicker than the Apple Magic Keyboard.In sum, it’s a pretty great product for the price, but having had an Apple Magic Keyboard before for an iPad Pro I used to have and my partner also having the Magic Keyboard, I felt like mine was not as portable and decided to return. I think if I didn’t know any different I would have kept it, but it’s still solid and even in white it didn’t get dirty and was very easy to clean, which I appreciated.
