Apple eschews OS-specific keys, bringing awkward combinations of taps and swipes that a simple key would eliminate. I like that Zagg offers iPad OS keys for tasks like showing the multitasking view, forcing the keyboard to appear, or quickly returning to the home screen. In addition, multiple colors and levels of backlighting allow for customization and situational settings. While the typing experience doesn’t compare to a good mechanical keyboard, it proves adequate for content creation or web browsing. The backlit keyboard delivers well-spaced keys, as it should on a 12.9-inch surface. I no longer worry about, or experience, my Apple Pencil falling to the floor, or not being charged when I need it.

Zagg makes no environmental claims, so the exposed ports need to be considered by those looking for water or dust protection.Īnd for the first time! For the first time, does a case properly handle the Apple Pencil in a way that secures it and maintains wireless charging. Only the power button and charging port, along with the camera, remain exposed. I can’t afford to drop on only 12.9 iPad off the top of my head.Ĭhannels in the case maintain crisp audio, and while buttons remain fully responsive despite them being covered. Zagg claims the iPad Pro 12.9 will survive a 6.6-foot drop that I take at face value when totally enclosed. It adds very little weight while offering a good amount of protection.
But I find the detached case near perfect for working with the iPad as a tablet.

When combined with the keyboard, it wraps around the entire iPad, bringing total projection, including a flap that keeps the Apple Pencil or Zagg Stylus safe. The removable portion of the case is one of the best on the market. Zagg’s reasonably priced keyboards offer a solid alternative to Apple’s keyboards while adding features like complete protection and multi-device connectivity. The Zagg Pro Keys line was designed for professionals and students who want to transform iPads into a more complete creation, collaboration, and engagement experience.
