perfect design , love this case , keyboard works perfectly , very durable , fit my ipad exactly right , easy setup , protected ipad even when I dropped it !

I have had an iPad mini for years and it is very hard to find a case that I like. This one is sturdy, attractive and the keyboard lights up. It is easy to turn lit keyboard on and off. The company even has a little cheat sheet below the keyboard. It has a long battery life. I don't have to recharge it for several weeks. The top rotates . It will hold a stylus.The only thing that takes a little time to adjust to is using a comma or quote marks (fn +o or p). It has a mouse, which I rarely use, but it does not take away too much space for the keyboard . I have used it for 3 notes now and I am very satisfied.

This device looks great and gives my iPad mini a whole dimension of extra functionality with all those keyboard and touchpad shortcuts! Pairing it is straight-forward, and once it's paired one can see the exact charging level on the widget page (a critical low charging status LED is on the keyboard).I think the lower key row could be improved by moving the cursor keys down (next to the touch pad), and with the extra keys possible remove the necessity to use a modifier to get a single quote. Also, a small keyboard on/off status light (green: on, no light: off) would be great, as it’s easy to forget to turn off the device after use.Two gripes:- The open/close hinge is extremely tight which, puts a lot of stress on the materials. I'd say it's about twice as tight as it needs to be to hold in place, and not adjustable- The advertised auto-sleep/auto-wake does not appear to work: Upon closing both keyboard and screen are still on, which one can easily discover under a blanket. They will of course sleep eventually, but that is just a function of timeout, not of closing. Upon waking up the screen does not come on, either (though that's easily addressed by hitting any key)I saw similar, less expensive keyboards, but this one includes a safe place for the expensive Apple pencil which despite the strong magnetism would otherwise constantly get brushed off upon stuffing the whole thing into a bag.

I'm writing a review of this product, because after just purchasing an iPad mini 6th generation to replace my old iPad mini, I found looking for a keyboard case very confusing. People complained about the keyboard being small. My hands are average for a woman, and I found the key size average as well, with good touch and no key lagging or duplicate letters. The keyboard layout is more or less typical. Being forewarned by reviews that the apostrophe and quotation marks were difficult to maneuver, I referenced the brief user manual that comes with the case, and found I could negotiate it. It does take some back and forth referencing of the manual to learn all the options, but I think could be memorized in a reasonable amount of time. I appreciated the backlighting, which I never had on an iPad. I haven't used the track bar yet other than to turn it on and move about a page, so will update if I find any undue sensitivity from it which some users mentioned. I don't find the case too heavy- somewhere between the Zagg regular iPad (quite heavy) and the Onhi (nice and light and sturdy but not made for the 6). The hinge is sturdy, the top doesn't tip backwards when you have it open. The bluetooth pairing is the easiest of any iPad I have had. Overall, I really like this case and have found adapting to it pretty easy.

I’ll keep it short.Pros:- Great feeling keyboard (despite its size, the switches work great! Feels fantastic overall)- Backlight is perfect- The iPad fits into the case perfectly- Works for drawing just as well- Shortcuts and function keys are excellent- The thing SWIVELSCons:- The trackpad is isn’t very functional (I’ll explain this down below)- The keyboard is too small (All iPad mini case keyboards do this and honestly, I think it’d be better to just add in an extra half inch on either side to make the tying more comfortable. However I have gotten used to it so far. Just takes rejecting some muscle memory for the apostrophe.)- Soft touch plastic- This leads to way more fingerprints and Rubber Reversion later down the road. Not looking forward to that…Those of you wondering about the trackpad - it works great for general on screen navigation, but anything with multi finger gesturing is absolutely a laggy buggy mess. Scrolling is like a stutter page down function when trying to use it, or using 3 fingers to swipe left and right can have some varying results. The main reason I’m rating it a 3 is for the simple fact that the keyboard works really well as it is (I’m writing this review with it lol). But the trackpad issue really doesn’t help convert my iPad into a full on laptop. Not yet.If you’re looking for a keyboard to fully convert your mini into a laptop, then I would consider comparing other cases that provide similar functions before diving into it with this one. If you do ready my review and think “that doesn’t sound too bad” then this might be the case for you. Over all it’s sturdy, mostly functional without any flaws native to it, and I’ll hopefully be using it for a good while.

Great product! Easy to use, holds charge for a very long time, folds and rotates with ease- keys are easy to navigate and light up- the handy quick grab (cheat sheet) that comes printed on a sticker is a great quick guide to the questions you didn’t know you had, like switching the colors back-lit, and turning on or off the track/mouse pad, and what combination in the keys for this or that etc.If you have a mini- get this keyboard.
