I got this case in pink to match my iPad, and wow, it's a lot of pink. That said, I don’t mind the color. It’s a vibrant pink, not a soft pastel. The case is made of that PU armor material most cases use these days. It looks good but definitely attracts oil from your fingers, so regular cleaning is a must if you want to keep it looking sharp.One quirky detail is the color treatment. While the top and bottom of the PU "cloth" are pink, the edges of the material are white. This creates breaks in color. I doubt it was intentional, and it may bug anyone who prefers a more polished look. Personally, I don’t mind it.The handbag-style design is cute and pretty well thought out. There are handles on both the front and back that lock into place magnetically so they don’t flop around. When you're ready to carry it, you can bring them together with a magnetic strap to form a single handle. It feels neat and tidy.The TPU inner shell that holds the iPad is snug and secure. There’s also a basic pencil holder made of a PU tube. It’s not fancy, but it gets the job done.The keyboard is better than others I’ve tried in this price range. The spacing is still a bit cramped, but not as tight as most budget cases. Typing feels relatively comfortable. The touchpad works well, and setup was easy. It supports switching between two devices using an A and B toggle, although it isn’t clearly labeled. The keyboard is built into the case and includes an on/off switch. I haven’t tested battery life yet, but it’s still running on its first charge. According to the product description, it sleeps after 20 minutes of inactivity, which should help preserve battery.The kickstand is okay but not great. It doesn’t offer enough tilt, so the screen feels a little too far back even at its most upright angle. It also doesn’t sit low enough for comfortable writing or drawing. I’ve had a few moments where the stand gave way and I had to reposition the iPad.This case weighs 2.2 lbs on its own. With the iPad inside, the total weight comes out to about 3.25 lbs. That’s not something you’ll want to handhold for long. It is clearly designed for use on a desk, counter, or lap, not for standing or carrying around while working. You could try looping your hand through one of the handles to secure your grip, but with the keyboard underneath or off to the side, it’s awkward. I don’t recommend it.For $30, this case offers a creative design and a solid keyboard. Just know it is not meant for mobile productivity. If you usually work from a fixed surface, it’s a fun and functional option.

It was very easy to install my iPad A16, and I didn’t even need to read instructions in order to connect the iPad to the keyboard. I simply toggled the keyboard power on, and opened the Bluetooth settings on the iPad. It immediately showed up and was quickly connected.I find the trackpad to be quite responsive. Once you have guided the curser to the right spot on the screen, simply press down on the trackpad to select.There were two issues that I didn’t like. The keyboard is not backlit, so I need to have a light on the keyboard if the room is dark.The second issue is the weight. The case is heavy, and the case and iPad together are quite heavy. This should not have surprised me as the case is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery, so there is not much that can be done about that.The keyboard arrived with some charge and was easy to recharge with the USB-A to USB-C cable that was included. It does not have a screen to indicate the percentage level of charge, but it charged to full quickly as indicated by the light that changed from red to green.All-in-all, the case seems well made and very functional, if you are okay with the added weight, and the fact the the keyboard is not backlit.

This case was much nicer overall than even the pictures made it out to be. First, this was purchased to enclose my work provided iPad 10.9" 2022 model, which it fits perfectly. The case is a bit heavy overall, which is not an issue for me, but might be for some. The weight is likely a combination of the battery and what seems to be all the plating in the case body. It feels like body armor for the iPad! The handle confused me at first, but once I got it made perfect sense. It's all magnetized to hold onto the case when not in use and folds over onto itself to lock when using it as a handle. It's very sturdy and does not feel like it will break when carrying or even swinging it around (as proven by my 9yo thinking it was a game to swing it in circle).The built in kickstand for the iPad is functional, and close to the best you can likely put on a case of this design. It's not perfect, but it does work. I've used this product for almost 2 weeks prior to reviewing and haven't had to recharge it once, so I can't comment on the actual longevity of the battery, but so far it's off to a great start.One reason I chose this (and like it) is because it allows me to use my iPad as a mini laptop when traveling for work without having to carry a separate computer. Specifically, when using the Windows app on the iPad to remote desktop into work machines the keyboard and touchpad give me a fully functioning 10.9" laptop experience. The keyboard is comfortable for a small size and follows the more typical Apple keyboard design layout. The function keys on it (home, all open windows, lock, Siri) are very nice to have. The touchpad is a nice touch to make it a more complete device, but is definitely its weakest feature. It does work, but it's a little jumpy especially when clicking. There is a sweetspot about and inch from the bottom on the left side that seems to be where it clicks the best without jumping the pointer (both native iOS and Windows RDP). Not sure if it has right-click functionality at all, but I couldn't seem to get it to work if it does. A Bluetooth mouse might make a nice companion to this product if you intend to use it as an actual laptop setup.Overall, I would give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars (with really only the touchpad bringing it down).
