This does provide a large flat surface on the top and bottom of the keyboard, which is the surface that contacts your iPad screen. My biggest knock on the typing front is that the entire key surface is slightly recessed. I regularly hit the wrong key here and hate it. Forget Home/End and give me a proper inverted T for the arrow keys. Yes iPadOS allows you to remap your keys so that Caps Lock (or some other keys) can become ESC, but I’d still rather have a proper ESC key. I’d rather drop the dedicated Home key, or the dedicated key for Spotlight though. Unlike the Apple keyboards, this does have a function row. It paired right away and I was able to start typing. ![]() Press `fn+C` and the devices showed up in Bluetooth setting. In my few weeks of use I haven’t found any marks on my screen, so maybe I’m worrying for nothing. ![]() I’m aware that the Smart Keyboard Folio and the Magic Keyboard do this as well, but I trust Apple more. My final gripe from a functional standpoint is that the keyboard remains in contact with the screen of your iPad. I’d much rather drop the lower section for your Apple Pencil and get some magnets to hold the case in it’s viewing angles. I’ve moved it a few times when tapping away on the iPad. Yes the keyboard has magnets, but the bottom of the shell doesn’t have magnets, your iPad is held in by friction alone. The tables at the local coffee shop are small and this takes up almost the entire room available on them. First, it takes up around 13” of desk space. While there is a bunch going for the case itself, it’s by no means perfect. I’ve ended up removing the case when I’m looking up a recipe and want to make sure that I don’t dump any kitchen ingredients into the keyboard. This means it doesn’t move around if you bump it while typing, but it’s easy to remove when you’re done with the keyboard. The case provides three viewing angles, which hit any angle I’ve wanted while using my iPad.įinally, the keyboard makes a decent use of magnets to attach to the case. I’m not sure why you’d use this since the Apple Pencil is protected when the case is closed already, but it’s there if you can see a reason for it. ![]() You are also provided with a second location to store the pencil under the shell at the bottom of the iPad if you want. While I haven’t lost my pencil often in my bag, it still happens with other cases and it’s still annoying. When your iPad is in your bag, the ProCase Folio also makes sure that your Apple Pencil stays attached to your iPad in it’s standard charging location. Again, this is much like the TouchType Pro and is a feature that I like about the case. The case also contains a bluetooth keyboard and works equally well when you have the keyboard in the case, or stick it to the side and go iPad only. ![]() That means it provides decent protection when your iPad is in the case because it entirely encloses your device. Just like the TouchType, this is a folio case. The shell grips well but I’m feeling spoiled by magnetic cases now so I feel I need to downgrade the experience of a plastic shell case in my current setups. It has a plastic shell that grips the iPad case, and reminds me very much of the () case I reviewed a while back. While I have the 2018 12.9” iPad Pro, this will fit both the 20 version of the device. With that out of the way, what do I think of the ProCase iPad Pro keyboard case? The other truth is that this was already in a wishlist of keyboards to purchase and try at some point in the future, so I probably would have got it for demo at some point anyway. They hoped I write something about it or add it to a video, but didn’t make that a requirement, and they haven’t seen this until you’re seeing it. I paid something for it, but barely anything. We’ll start with a disclaimer, ProCase got me a 99% coupon for this case.
