Apple Smart Keyboard for 10.5" iPad Pro, iPad (7th & 8th Gen) and iPad Air (3rd Gen) - English - Open Box (10/10 condition)

Very nice until you actually use it for a month or so. This is with average use,I have an iphone that I use the majority of the time. It becomes flimsy and the iPad falls out easier and easier as time goes by. Worst of all,regardless of how clean your hands are I noticed around a month old there were little spots on the outside of the back of the case. After more time went by it looks like someone dipped their hands in oil and put them on it!It doesn’t come off and now it’s tearing in the same spots!

I've owned this for 30 days and the material on the front and back is starting to wrinkle and bunch together. I take this to and from work and I don't do anything crazy or extreme with it but it really speaks to the quality of the material when it's already starting to show signs of excessive wear after only 30 days and is needing to be replaced under warranty. Don't get me wrong, this is a massive improvement on the previous generation keyboard design in so many ways, but for $180 I should be able to get more than 30 days worth of use out of it without it starting to exhibit signs of falling apart from normal usage.

The keyboard was what I was missing! Love it! It makes my IPad complete. The pen fits even when keyboard is closed! I love the magnetic closure. Purchase it if you can!

This keyboard seems to now (almost a year post purchase) be experiencing something that I find is a very frustrating issue with many Apple products these days... That being, it worked very well...at first, but only 11 or so months later I'm constantly getting an error message on screen stating that “This accessory is not supported by this device.” There are a number of reasons I've researched online that this could be occurring, and I've actually had this issue occur with the lightning cable for my iphone 7 as well. I suppose I've grown to accept that these types of issues will happen after some time due to software updates or the need for firmware updates with the hardware itself, but not less than a year after purchase.

The 12.9" version has more space for key layout and the result is a full size keyboard. The 11" keyboard is close. I wish it had an escape key. I also wished the angles were a little different. I only use the angle closest to the keyboard as the other one is very useable in my opinion. It's a little odd to have the keys on the back of the iPad when folded back but you get used to it. The color is a bit boring and I'm surprise only comes in this option. I do find there is no BlueTooth lag/reconnecting due to the smart connector being used. I do occasionally use a BlueTooth keyboard and stand but this keyboard is great for travel.
