ESR for iPad Air 11 Inch Case with Keyboard M4/M3/M2 (2026/2025/2024) & iPad Pro 11/Air 5th/4th Gen Keyboard, Easy-Set Magnetic Stand, Portrait/Raised Modes, with Removable Protective Case, Black

[One-Year Update] I've owned this keyboard for a full year, and I'd like to impart my thoughts for anyone on the fence about it. I'm going to be placing more consideration against the Magic Keyboard, as I recently caved and purchased it from a local computer store to try it out. While I did like it, I returned it in favor of using this one for a while longer. 1) Durability & Battery This keyboard has held up well over time, minus some smudging and staining that has made me regret not purchasing the black model, on occassion. The keyboard surface is smooth and more or less unblemished, with no peeling in the silicone material around any of the buttons/trackpad. The keys are also all still intact. I cannot comment as to whether the keyboard of the first-party cases are susceptible to damage in this way, but I am pleasantly surprised as to how this one has held up. Also, the battery has not once failed me while using it. I charge it when I remember, and that is more than enough. 2) Typical Use Minus the lack of the escape key, this does everything that I need a keyboard to do while using my iPad. The layout makes sense, there is no sticking of the keys, and the print on the keys have held up even to my oily fingers. (I am a chronic hair-toucher, so this is saying something I feel.) I've modified the Trackpad on the software side for a) tap-to-click, and b) to increase the speed of the cursor. I did find after a while that I need to make a lot of repeated clicks with the trackpad, when it came to pressing it in, hence the former change. I will ding this justs lightly on part of the ESR, as I do not think it is an iPadOS issue - but, it is adequately addressed by adjusting the behavior in Settings. Not worth complaining about. 3) Value for Money Especially when considering the durability of the materials, I think this is more than worth considering for your money. The only major drawback I noticed between it and its first-party counterpart, is the inability to instantly begin typing when you "open" the iPad. The magnetic pass-through charging is also a nice touch on the other case. However, neither of those things make up the additional value that the first-party cases asks for, when this one exists. If the first party ever approaches the cost of the ESR, maybe within a range of 80 USD or more, then I would say to go for that one vs. this. In reality though, the ESR win's blow for blow vs the First Party iPad case. -- [OG Review, Shortened a Little] 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 other bluetooth keyboards, but this one is designed very nicely, at least for the way that I type. The inclusion of a silicone case is a MASSIVE boon, and the main reason I chose the ESR over other cantilever cases. Since I hate leaving the edges of the iPad unprotected in my bag, no other case would satisfy my desire for protection like this one does. One con I can mention is that the weight of the iPad is greatly 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 picking between the silicone case or the keyboard, and leaving the other behind. Individually they aren't so bad -- it's when they are together that you will sweat, a little. As an artist, I also appreciate that this case is magnetically compatible with my 2025 iPad Air. The magnet array of previous cases I have used seem to not play nicely with the Apple Pencil Pro, causing jittery or chopped up lines. Some sources mention these issues to be software related, but I can attest that they immediately went away when I put my iPad into this case. I am so stoked to be able to stop looking for a case that will work for my needs. In my experience, the value is unmatched.

I’m honestly impressed with this keyboard case. I expected it to be decent, but I did not expect it to feel this nice. The build quality feels solid, the fit is clean, and it gives my iPad that polished “Apple-style” setup without making my wallet clutch its pearls. Compared to the Apple Magic Keyboard, which can run around $330, this one coming in around $125 feels like a really good deal. It looks great, works well, and gives the iPad a much more laptop-like feel. My only small complaint is that the backlit keyboard does not stay lit as long as I would personally like unless you keep typing. That said, it is not a big enough issue for me to take away a star. Overall, this is absolutely a 5-star product for me. If you want a quality keyboard case without paying full Apple accessory prices, this is definitely worth getting.

I’ve had this keyboard for a little over 24 hours and already am absolutely in love. I could not justify shelling out so much for the Magic Keyboard, and after tedious time and research landed on this being the best alternative. I was worried after reading some of the negative reviews it wouldn’t give me the desired results, but so far I’m obsessed. This keyboard really gives your iPad a more laptop like feel, and while it may not be obvious at first there are keyboard shortcuts for just about everything. Google is your friend if a shortcut or option isn’t obvious i guarantee there is a way to enable and/or access it. The case feels sturdy to me and of good quality. I love how i have the ability to take my iPad off the keyboard and use it without worrying about dropping and damaging it due to the case. I need my tablet to be versatile and the fact the keyboard is magnetic and I'm able to keep a slim protective case on it allows it to be so.(which in my opinion is a one up on the Magic Keyboard) The light up keyboard allows me to type at night with ease, and the ability to change the color makes it feel more personalized. The reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is because there are a few cons. The one that irritates me the most is due to the material any finger print or drop of moisture is going to leave a mark. I have the black case so it shows very easily, almost makes the case appear greasy which is a HUGE pet peeve. I haven’t yet attempted to wipe it down with anything, so I don’t know if these marks are here to stay or not. Another slight issue is the trackpad OCCASIONALLY lags. Lastly, as most have mentioned the weight. Although I feel for the price point and for what it does it is unpreventable, it is pretty heavy about if not more so than a MacBook Pro. All in all at this point I recommend, especially for the price, worth every penny. Can’t wait to use this with iPad OS 26.

I am genuinely impressed with the ESR Keyboard 360 for iPad Air 13 and it has completely transformed the way I use my iPad Air 13” M4. The build quality feels premium and sturdy, while still being much more affordable than Apple’s Magic Keyboard. The magnetic attachment is strong and secure, and I love how easy it is to detach the iPad when I want to switch from work mode to tablet mode. The keyboard itself is incredibly comfortable to type on with responsive, well-spaced keys and adjustable backlighting that makes it easy to use in low light. The trackpad is smooth, accurate, and makes multitasking feel much more like using a laptop. I also appreciate the multiple viewing angles and floating-style design, which make it perfect for typing, streaming, FaceTime calls, or even drawing. Another huge plus is the protection this case provides. Unlike many premium keyboard cases, this one actually protects the back and edges of the iPad while still looking sleek and professional. The battery life has also been excellent and lasts for weeks between charges. Overall, this keyboard case exceeded my expectations in every way. It combines productivity, protection, versatility, and value into one product. If you own an iPad Air 13” M4 and want a high-quality keyboard case without paying Apple Magic Keyboard prices, this is absolutely worth it.

I like typing on this keyboard. It has soft keys that make the perfect light clicking sound. The only downside so far is the mousepad-it is indeed a bit louder but a non issue for me. I haven’t noticed any key/mousepad sensitivity issues so far (1st week). Holder for pencil is effective for added security and a really nice touch- can be clipped out of the way when in use and helps to hold the case closed when shut. Sure it’s a little heavy but just enough to stabilize the set up. The magnet for the interior case is strong, holds the iPad nicely and doesn’t feel too difficult to remove/replace iPad from keyboard. I like the interior case for added protection when using the iPad independently and it didn’t seem too difficult to put it on the iPad- magnet for pencil seems strong (maybe even stronger than the iPads magnet for it). I did a lot of research to find the best alternative for apples ~$300 Magic Keyboard and so far, I am confident that this is it. Look no further.

I got my first ipad recently (an ipad air from Costco), and I also bought the magic keyboard. I'm coming from a place of using a PC laptop, but my laptop is dying. Backlit keys are a must for me. I thought the magic keyboard had them, but alas. No longer. I also didn't like the way my Apple pencil was constantly popping off. I considered other alternatives, but the ESR won because A) I wanted to be able to type on my lap, (which you can do decently with the magic keyboard), and B) I wanted a flap or something for my Apple pencil, and C) I wanted the case to feel a bit more protective because I am not always super careful with my things. After a few weeks of using the ESR, I am not disappointed in my purchase. I was a little nervous about the bluetooth connection. Thought that was going to be a drag, but I haven't had problems with it. It does put itself to sleep, so sometimes it takes a second to wake the keyboard up, but you just hit a key, and a second later it's responding again. You must charge the keyboard separately, but it lasts a long time and also seems to recharge quickly. The backlit keys are great, which was basically my biggest deal-breaker with the magic keyboard. Typing on my lap works. Yes, the ipad is top-heavy in this case. It was also top-heavy with the magic keyboard, but I do think the ESR seems a little worse. Not a deal-breaker for me. The pencil flap: great when not using the ipad, but when you're using it, you have to open the flap, so the pencil is still just only attached by the magnet. This seems ok, though. I'm not really worried about it going flying while I'm using the ipad, it's more like when I'm not using it. I would still prefer a case with a slot for the pencil or something, not sure why that's not possible, but out of the keyboard cases available for ipad air, this one is the best bet for me. Again, my highlights: Backlit keys Apple Pencil Security Ipad protection Bluetooth hasn't been a problem I got the blue. It looks fine. I wish it came in more colors. Ipad went in the case without too much struggle. I do sometimes (rarely) pull the ipad off to use it without the keyboard, and I don't have to have a completely naked ipad like I did with the magic keyboard. And it goes back on easily enough. I really like this feature. I also have turned the ipad to vertical to type with on certain apps. It becomes even more top-heavy, but you can make it work if you are careful. If a problem arises or something stops working, I will update my review. (I did buy the protection plan thing.)

The keyboard works to perfection. Great for typing on the go on my lap. I like the stiffer keyboard for working on the go and having no hard surface to work on. Only flaw is that it is so heavy (battery in the keyboard) -- but I have had it for over a month and have yet to charge it. I weighed that as a pro/con, but still decided this was the best fit for my application. The magnet strength is great, keeping my Apple Pencil in place while on the go, which was valuable to me.

I had previously purchased the ESR Magnetic cover and found it to be of very good quality, so when I decided to purchase a keyboard case, I was pleased to see ESR had a few options. I have been using the ESR keyboard for a few weeks and here are my thoughts: Quality - Very strong magnetics, stable, just heavy enough to feel sturdy, but not excessive. The soft, rubberish texture of the case is satisifying, but does show fingerprints easily. Keyboard - Backlit keys, feel comparable to my Macbook in their response, layout is predictable with keys located in their correct position Pairing - pairs easily, takes a second or 2 to turn on, but once on, there is no lag Note - I tried using the Dracool magnetic pencil holder with this case, but the magnets interfere with each other so that the backcase doesn't attach as securely as it should to the keyboard. In the end, I found that the pencil flap included on the typecase is sufficient to prevent the pencil from falling off the iPad. All in all, I love this case, but I have one request. Please, ESR! Please! Please! Please make this keyboard backcase match magnets with your other folio case! You could create a superpower iPad case ecosystem if your cases were interchangable - with the ability to magnetically attach the ipad to the keyboard when you need it, but quickly swap to the folio case when you don't. It's good now, but it could be epic.

I have been using the Logitech Combo case for a couple weeks now, I don’t like that you always have to prop up the screen on a surface. I was debating between this ESR Keyboard or an Apple Magic Keyboard. I couldn’t find a case that covers all four edges and is compatible with the apple Magic Keyboard, so I ordered this. I am very impressed!! I find it way more comfortable to type with this than the Logitech, maybe it is just the weight but to me this feels more durable. The Bluetooth for me connected seamlessly, the backlit keys can be changed to different colours, and it even charges your Apple Pencil through the protective case. The touchpad is smaller but works perfectly fine, I will be mostly using a mouse so the size doesn’t change anything for me. For me this Keyboard feels smoother to type than the keyboard I use for work. I did only receive today, so I will try it out to see what I think but so far this is a winner for me. I saw a review saying that the camera slot was meant for an iPad Pro so the cutout is larger, I did not find this with the keyboard I received. Fits my IPad Air 13 inch perfectly!! Few things to note, when typing on lap table or a cheap less than perfectly solid ikea coffee table I did notice that the screen wobbled a little bit at the hinge. I do not find that typing lags at all, when using the touchpad after a bit of time you almost have to wake it up to use and it takes a couple seconds to show up, then it works perfectly. Although it is heavier than the Logitech, I do not find that its is heavier than the laptop I replaced with my iPad.

I have purchased their screen protectors previously and now their ipad case keyboard! This brand surely is my trusted and go to for such things! High quality and price is worth it!

La verdad es un gran producto para el precio, compite fabuloso con los de Apple mismo.

Bem construido. Funciona perfeitamente bem.

The ESR Rebound Magnetic Keyboard Case 360 is one of the best value-for-money keyboard cases available for iPad users who want a laptop-like experience without paying Apple-level prices. The standout feature is its 360° magnetic design, which makes it extremely versatile. You can easily switch between typing, viewing, and tablet modes, and the detachable keyboard adds real convenience for daily use. The magnets are strong and hold the iPad securely, giving a stable and premium feel. Typing on this keyboard is surprisingly comfortable. The keys are well-spaced with decent travel, making it suitable for long typing sessions like emails or documents. The inclusion of function keys and backlighting is a big plus at this price point, enhancing usability in low-light conditions. In terms of protection, the case does a solid job. The detachable back cover ensures your iPad stays protected even when you remove the keyboard, which is a thoughtful design choice. However, it’s not perfect. The biggest downside is weight and bulk—it significantly increases the overall size and makes the iPad feel less portable.  The trackpad, while useful, can feel a bit small and slightly less responsive compared to premium options. There are also occasional concerns reported by users regarding long-term durability of keys and minor responsiveness issues, though these are not universal. Overall, the ESR Magnetic 360 Keyboard Case offers excellent versatility, solid typing experience, and strong protection at a competitive price. It’s a great choice for students and professionals who want functionality over premium slimness, but if you prioritise ultra-lightweight design or top-tier trackpad performance, you may want to explore higher-end alternatives.
