- [Upgraded] iPad Pro 13 Inch Case with Keyboard (M5/M4, 2025/2024), iPad Pro 13 Keyboard Case with Magnetic Stand, Portrait/Raised Modes for iPad Pro 13, Removable, Rebound 360 Series, Black

I LOVE MY NEW KEYBOARD! Cons (or possible cons): 1. It’s heavy. I am someone who likes a sturdy case on my iPad. I can’t just use a bare iPad and I’ve had somewhat heavy cases in the past as I would rather be fully safe. Having said that, this is heavier than even I’m used to. But I still love it. (Update: 3months later. I don’t really notice the weight any more) It isn’t going to be an issue for me but I can see why others might think it would be. Even the detachable case is heavy because there are magnets in it but that is also a Pro.(see below) Just letting you know, be aware before you buy. 2. No delete key? Some have said that is a con. I don’t know, There is a backspace key so that’s all I need. I mean do you really need both? Maybe a con for some but not for me. 3. You have to charge it. Don’t love having another thing to charge but this might not even be an issue. I read it only needs charging every week or so. If that’s the case, not a con for me though it may be for others. I just got mine so I’ll have to see how it does. UPDATE: looks like about 8 days holding a charge with fairly heavy use which is acceptable to me. (Update 3months later: The charging is fine. I only had it die once. Now i randomly plug it in at night just when i think about it. It isn’t a problem at all) 4. When you detach it, there isn’t a stand to prop it up with. I had the Logitech Combo Touch and if you detached the keyboard, you still had a stand. Not a huge issue but I liked that it did that. I guess I could make some kind of stand to place my iPad into if I don’t want to use the keyboard. I could even make a metal stand and just stick it to it. Hmmm. (Update 3 months later: i use the back of the case as a stand. It works fine when it’s in my lap. If it’s on a table I just put it on the keyboard the way it usually goes but you could also invert it like a teepee and place it on the back that way. Either way, it isn’t an issue) Pros: 1. It’s heavy enough to keep it from tipping over. I tried the Magic Keyboard and it was very top heavy. I returned it. Also, it didn’t have any protection for iPad when detached from keyboard. Even if you place the iPad higher up on this one it still doesn’t tip. (you can adjust the position of the iPad, Portrait, lower, higher) 2. There is a separate cover so if I detach it, it is still protected (unlike Magic Keyboard) 3. The keys feel nice to me. Plenty of room to type on. I guess if you have giant fingers maybe not but I think mine are average sized. Nice tactile feel. Some have said the keys and trackpad are too noisy. I’m slightly deaf so not a problem for me. Unless you are in a super quiet environment, I don’t think it’s that loud. (Update 3 months later: I find I can’t see the keys that well even with the lights. I just bought some stickers to place on the keys that may help assuming they stick properly. i found purple ones to match my keyboard. My eyes aren’t great and the light up keyboard doesn’t really help me see the letters so hopefully the stickers help.) 4. You can actually attach your iPad to your fridge (any metal surface) with just the case since it has magnets. If I’m cooking and need to read a recipe or something, it’s great to attach it to the fridge. So the heavy Con turns into a Pro here. (Update 3months later: I never do this lol, but you can) 5. There is more than just one color. I got Lilac. Thank you for other colors besides just black. (Update 3 months later: It stays clean looking, I’m sure I’ve had sticky fingers at one point or another but the case still looks good) 6. Portrait mode. I can use my iPad in portrait mode. Nice. 7. The price is good. 8. Because it’s Bluetooth, I suppose I could use the keyboard with my phone or other tablet or even my PC? I don’t plan to, but I guess you could. (Update 3 months later: You do have to wait for the keyboard to wake up before you use it so if you are impatient like me that’s annoying. You can’t open and instantly type it takes a few seconds. Maybe about 5 seconds. Not a lot but I find it slightly annoying) 9. There is a cover to protect your Apple Pencil. I like that. 10. I can just put the keyboard in my lap and type. I couldn’t do that with the Magic Keyboard - it was too tippy. Even the Combo touch wasn’t great for that but I could do it. This works great in my lap. 11. Different colors to light up keyboard. (Update 3 months later. I’m not that excited about this but it’s ok still) 12. Function Keys at the top. I never use them really so not a pro for me but maybe for someone. (Still barely use them 3 months later) I previously had the Logitech Combo Touch. I liked it ok. Better than Apple’s Magic Keyboard, but I like this one better than the Combo Touch. However, my Logitech Combo Touch just stopped working after only one year. I didn’t drop it or abuse it. I think maybe an update to my iPad may have made it stop working though I have no proof of that. I’ll check after the next update. Hopefully this one doesn’t die on me after a year. (Update 3 months later: still fine, I still LOVE it, I would buy it again.)

I just got this case so keep in mind I haven’t had more than a day with it. This is the Magic Keyboard that Apple should have made. 1/3 the cost AND it includes a case for the iPad so when you don’t want to use the keyboard, your iPad isn’t naked! The keyboard is nice and clicky, easy to type on, and I like the backlight and the ability to change the color/brightness. The touchpad is small but responsive and easy to use, I love having a mouse cursor on my iPad! (I wish it was closer to a MacBook touchpad because it pushes down a bit further than I am used to but that is really nit-picky.) It remains to be seen how long this will last but the quality is nice. The manufacturer included a 24-month warranty so as long as they honor that, I can’t see any reason not to buy this case! PROS: - price is unbeatable at 1/3 the cost of Apple’s keyboard case with very similar features - keyboard is clicky and nice to type on, backlight is great and it changes colors and brightness levels - USB-C charging means I only need to carry one cable to charge either the case or iPad - feels like a good design, the hinge is sturdy and feels solid nice and the case material is slightly grippy, feels great in my hands with a soft touch - 24-month warranty seems really stellar (hopefully it lasts so I never have to use it!) - supports multiple positions you can use it in, landscape or portrait mode (and there are enough magnets to move the iPad further up on the case if you need a slightly different angle or more space to type) CONS: - since it’s a Bluetooth keyboard, it needs to be charged separately from the iPad, no pass-through charging like Apple’s Keyboard - the viewing angle doesn’t go back as far as I’d like and there is only really one angle you can use this case in, but it’s good for typing on a desk or coffee table from the couch - the whole case+keyboard adds quite a bit of weight to the iPad, this is expected so it’s not really a negative for me - (ADDED) the case makes the whole combination very top-heavy so it’s quite difficult to type while it’s sitting on your lap; it’s fine on a table or flat surface but any angle and it’s a bit unstable More pros than cons and for the price, a lot of the negatives are easy to overcome. If you want a keyboard case for your iPad Pro, you’re looking for something similar to the Magic Keyboard BUT you want to avoid the “Apple tax” — this is a great option on the market. A missing feature compared to Apple’s MK is the pass-through charging. But the trade off is having a solid case around the iPad so you can use it without the keyboard and not feel concerned about dropping and damaging the iPad. UPDATE: After using the keyboard case on my iPad Pro 13” for several days now, the viewing angle is actually bothering me more than I assumed it would. There is no flexibility and it doesn’t have any other angles you can use this in. When you remove it from the keyboard, the protective case around the iPad can only sit flat on a table or be held in your hands, making it impossible to use at any normal angle for drawing or casual reading. Unfortunately, this may become a dealbreaker for me as I like to use my iPad in multiple different positions, both on a desk and in my lap. Which this does not support. (Will update this review if anything changes. Updated once on 11/13/2025 after several days of use.)

Had this device since October 2025 and absolutely love it! It is just like Apple’s. It works great and love the keyboard and the magnetic portion that strongly secures the actual Apple iPad. The weight of the device is somewhat heavy however very substantial. I would highly recommend this Keyboard and carrier for your new Apple iPad. It is well worth the investment and is still working well and the functionality is truly top notch! Highly Recommend!

Build quality and key click are both excellent. The Bluetooth connection and related “delay to wake” are mildly annoying but not a deal breaker. Flexibility for screen positioning is great, and I appreciate the protection for when I am using the tablet without the keyboard. I also like having the “wraparound” for the pencil in transport.

This keyboard is amazing. When typing it has very little to zero lag. The keys are comfortable and very responsive. I like the back lit keys with he ability to change colors and brightness.The case for iPad is good with good protection. I like that if you don’t need the keyboard your iPad is still protected. It fits perfectly. There is no reason to spend 350 dollars when this one is better as it also comes with a case.

EDIT: I'm dropping the review to 3 stars for 2 reasons: - Keyboard will go to sleep even when trackpad is in use or the track pad will lose tracking and cause unnecessary clicks to register with tap to click activated on the iPad. - The white color will experience color transfer if exposed to fabrics (such as a laptop/tablet sleeve) for an extended period of time. To preface this review, this is for the ESR iPad Pro 13 Inch Case with Keyboard (M4, 2024) in white. I was looking for a good on the go replacement which would allow me to replace my current on the go keyboard setup. My current set up right now is a nuphy air75 v2, logitech mx 3, and the ESR Shift case. The current set up was actually very functional and I was able to go easily from drawing/handwritten notes to typing on my keyboard whenever necessary. The ESR Shift case was incredibly flexible and is, in my opinion, their best case. Why did I buy this keybard case? I wanted an all in one product that I can use on my lap which I could not accomplish with my previous setup. It does accomplish this but there are caveats. TL;DR: Buy if you don't feel like spending the extra money on the apple magic keyboard and want a great alternative with peace of mind for drop protection. Avoid the light colorways as they are harder to maintain. Do not expect any other magnetic folio case to be compatible with this case. This type cover does not work with the ESR Rebound or ESR Shift covers/cases. Do not expect this case to charge your iPad. The USB-C port is for charging the keyboard only. Pros: - Nice keyboard feel for a non mechanical keyboard but certainly not as premium feeling as the magic keyboards. - Very stable hinge with minimal wobble (I am not a heavy typist though) - Strong and reliable magnets. - Keyboard performance is quite reliable but takes some getting used to due to its size. My wpm has not been drastically affects (102 wpm vs 110 wpm) - Convenient function key row for brightness, dictation, volume adjust, lock, etc. - Typing on lap is do-able because of its similar design to apple magic keyboard. - Trackpad has convenient gestures for iPad navigation. - Backlit and shine through keyboard which allows for typing at night or in dark lecture halls. - Protective case with some drop protection and lip for camera bump. - Responsive and tactile buttons for volume up and down on the case. - 1/3 the price of the apple magic keyboard. - Keyboard has long battery life and does not eat away at the iPad Pro's battery life other than maintaining the blue tooth connection. - Can by placed in portrait or landscape which makes it very convenient for reading material or taking notes which may span the entire page. - The tablet itself can be magnetically attached to a total of 3 positions, varying in height, while in landscape mode. However, this does make it less lap-able and less stable the higher the tablet is placed. However, being able to place the iPad closer to eye level is a game changer. - Protective case will still connect charge the apple pencil in a silicone case. - Apple pencil flap Cons: - QC issues in the body of the case where there may be gaps (see last picture) - Backlit Keyboard stays on if closed. - Keyboard flexes and distorts when picked up by the corner. - Wakeup via keyboard will not be available if device goes to sleep as this depends on maintaining a bluetooth connection. - Lack of viewing angles when typing. - Loose flap when stowing away iPad. - Apple pencil tip does stick out a bit on the flap. - No 3 pin connection for USB-C charging the iPad, USB-C port is for charging keyboard only. - Requires adjustment in typing posture in order to avoid touching the keypad due to size. - HEAVY but still deals with the top heavy problem of all iPad keyboards and requires a little bit of a balancing act. - The protective case for the iPad has magnets but these magnets are not compatible with the magnets found on other ESR products. - Power button is not covered. The design is borrowed from the iPads Airs that have touchID on the power button. - Protective case is translucent which will yellow in time. - The white paint for the keys and the keyboard body are not the same color. - White model gets easily dirty and is very hard to clean due to its porous nature. - Material is soft to touch which feels nice but is prone to receiving indentations from hard edges, like the corners of a small lecture hall desk. - Rubber coating finish may see wear much faster than other products that do not have this coating. Coatings like these will typically wear down due to hand oils regardless of how diligently you may clean them. Who is the product not for? People who are expecting a case ecosystem which allows for swap-ability between type covers. Artists and handwritten note takers that require an angled surface. Individuals expecting a USB-c passthrough and charging of the iPad. What's preventing this from being perfect for me? There is zero compatibility with any of ESR's protective covers. If they can make a shift cover that is compatible with this, then this would possibly be the best case ecosystem for iPad. Or they can create iPad desk stands and drawing stands that are compatible with this case. I may or may not be returning this if I cannot find a solution for the writing/drawing angle issues... taking the cover on and off is not an option for me unfortunately.

I love this hefty case. It really is amazing and worth the money. My only issue with mine is the ‘click’ when you try to press something on the mouse pad. You need to put an unusual amount of force in order to actually ‘click’ something on the screen while using the mouse pad. I am not sure if this is an issue with my particular case or if this is an issue overall but it does trouble me that I need to constantly individually ‘click’ or I have to just press on my iPad screen. I got the large case for the newest M5 iPad 13”. I also think it is a bit heavy which defeats the purpose of the iPad, BUT this is something I’m willing to live with since this is an awesome case and keyboard. If it wasn’t for these two points, then definitely a 5 star product. **UPDATE: Customer service reached out to me and let me know that there was a way to activate the tap to click and it turns out that there IS a way to get rid of that annoying click. They did end up switching me to another model since it would be better for what I am looking for and mine did need to be replaced. I LOVE their customer service and because of their insightfulness and ability to communicate I am raising my rating to a 5 star. I will say that overall even though I wont be using my original case (this item), I will reiterate that it is such an amazing functional case and it is very sturdy! Definitely for the people that want to use their ipad as a mac and are ok with a slight change in weight. Thank you so much ESR!!

While this is a great alternative for the Apple Magic Keyboard, I have one simple, but deal breaking issue with this product. I am a huge fan of ESR products, and I use their screen protectors and cases for almost all of my tech. Ironically enough, this has led to my disappointment of this product: I have the ESR Shift Magnetic Case for my M4 iPad Pro 13 inch (the one that I bought this keyboard for). Similar to this keyboard case, it comes with a detachable inner case that serves as an extra layer of protection if you choose to remove the iPad from its stand at any time. This was a big selling point for me, and I have read numerous reviews that show it is a huge selling point for most of the product’s buyer-base. When searching for a keyboard case for my iPad, I ultimately chose to stick with the ESR brand and buy this keyboard, with the detachable inner case being one of my biggest “pros” in the decision making process. Upon its arrival, I was met with, however, a HUGE disappointment. You see, the inner sleeve cases for these two products are tight fits. (So tight, in fact, that it takes a bit of strength and manipulation to put on and take off the case. This isn’t an issue, however, since I have no need to remove it from the inner sleeve, as it serves as the main piece of protection for my iPad.) They are simple in their design, and are just a silicone slim-fit case with I assume a relatively strong magnet built into the back. This allows them to attach snugly to their case counter-parts without worrying about them falling out of its magnetic hold. It does this very well, as I am always impressed by the strength of the hold the case has on my iPad. Both of these inner sleeve cases are IDENTICAL. If it weren’t for the color, I wouldn’t be able to differentiate the two… until I try to use them. Because of the simplicity of the design of the inner cases, I had foolishly assumed that I would be able to seamlessly switch between the Magnetic Shift case and this Keyboard Case without ever needing to change out the inner sleeves. I was very, VERY wrong. If at any time I wish to switch from the keyboard case back to the Magnetic Shift case, I need to pry my iPad out of its inner silicone case and struggle to re-insert the iPad into the special silicone case that came with it. This is a huge pain, and I honestly will find myself choosing to not even use this keyboard case due to the sheer annoyance and irritation it brings me. ESR: PLEASE make your products interchangeable. I have never been more disappointed in one of your products. Your direction of product design is catered towards ease, accessibility, and variety of use. This should have been taken into consideration when designing an accessory for a product that was made for infinite possibilities. I should NOT have to go through the trouble of taking my iPad out of its snug case every time I want to switch between drawing on Procreate or writing a school essay. Needless to say, I am disheartened and will hesitate in the future when choosing to buy an ESR-branded product.

Muy buena compra, me gustó el diseño, el tamaño, la calidad y el funcionamiento del producto, muchos comentaban que estaba demasiado pesado pero sinceramente no es algo que sea tan molesto como para afectar el uso, al final eso le aporta calidad ya que el teclado no se siente sencillo delgado y todo endeble, al contrario se siente bastante bien y resistente. El track funciona bastante bien y muy similar (no es igual eso si, normal) al de una Mac Y a comparación de otros teclados mucho más sencillos lo más destacable es el click “fuerte” (no solo el click touch) se siente mucho mejor en este teclado ESR. Tiene bastantes colores en la retro iluminación del teclado. Es lo suficientemente silencioso y como para escribir. Bien. Recomendado.

Es un artículo muy estorboso, pesa más que la MacBook Pro de 16 pulgadas para un iPad

Device stopped working after 10 days. Not charging.

I bought the white colour because it was the only colour available at the time, I was skeptic at first but it turned out to be a good colour choice for me. It looks and feels really good. Everything works well with no issues. Note to self, it needed a bit of weight to the iPad, I personally like that too. The quality of the product is perfect and for the price you can’t go wrong.

Produto muito bom, só achei um pouco pesado.
