    Plug and Play is Nice!
    I opened the box, plugged it in and it workedPros - ease of installation and use, I am using my iPad more and more as it is easier to use as a multi-function computing device, not just a video viewer or social media surf/news read device. - good tactile touch and responsiveness from the keyboardCons - wish there was a touchpad function as I still use touch more frequently than I thought I would (minor nit)Wish it was a little less expensive, but it attached without issue, installed simply, and is a valuable part of my iPad experience now!

      I bought this ipad cover for me brand new iPad, and I am thrilled with the way it operates as cover, but also the keyboard is extremely tactile and responsive. Takes all the irritation out of pounding the touch screen with your finger. And the dual design that lets you flip easily from screening to typing is brilliant. Only negative is that, because it is the”face” of the iPad, it takes a beating, and could be a little sturdier. But this is a minor objection.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Love this keyboard! Well designed, sealed keyboard by Apple
      Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2020
      Style: US EnglishColor: CharcoalVerified Purchase
      I started out with a 3rd party keyboard because of its features and ended up disappointed by its flaws. The Apple Smart Keyboard is great!!

      According to Apple, this Apple Smart Keyboard is covered under the iPad's Apple Care+, if you purchased it.

      While not a full folio, the Apple Smart keyboard offers many benefits:

      1. Compact
      a. It easily connects and disconnects via the quick connect magnets on the iPad Air 3rd gen
      b. Seamless signal connection, no Bluetooth to pair, no batteries required, powered from the iPad.
      c. Easy to pack up and throw in a back pack, attached or unattached to your iPad.

      2. Keyboard Shortcuts
      a. The shortcuts will spoil you and make you more productive. Very useful!
      b. Besides all the usual cmd key shortcuts, there’s a group of Tab key shortcuts, too!
      c. Customizable keyboard shortcuts via the iPad Settings
      d. Great for foreign language typing as well as native language typing.

      3. The Smart Keyboard as a folio/stand/holder
      a. Makes a nice viewing angle when used as a stand in landscape mode
      b. Magnetic, so it sticks to metal surfaces and does NOT slide around!
      c. Does NOT provide full protection for the iPad, leading to “d.” below.
      d. I plan on getting some kind of full case to hold and protect both the iPad and Smart Keyboard,
      Then I will transport them attached together and toss the unit in a backpack or carrying bag.
      e. The entire keyboard and folio are fully sealed to keep out dirt, dust, and liquids.
      f. When folded up, the keys never come in contact with the screen.

      Finally, if you combine the keyboard with a mouse your productivity and ease of use will go up even more. And, you’ll keep your fingerprints, skin oil and dirt from ever contacting the screen. With the keyboard and mouse, it’s extremely rare I ever touch the screen now. FYI, the Apple Magic Mouse accommodates screen/trackpad gestures right on the mouse.

      4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good design
      Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2020
      Style: US EnglishColor: CharcoalVerified Purchase
      I have tried and reviewed two keyboards recently for the 7th Gen iPad. One I did not like at all, and then there's this one.

      This design is clearly well thought out. I was disappointed because I misread that this one was backlit. It isn't. I am also a little disappointed that the back of the iPad isn't protected at all by this case -- it isn't a folio. However, it ends up having a slight advantage by not being a folio -- the cover is removable easily and quickly when you don't need it, and there is as little bulk as possible. This is hardly bigger/heavier than a simple front cover with no keyboard.

      Those of you who have had iPads for years will remember the first "covers" that ever came out were pretty much just like this -- a magnetic flap that covers only the screen portion of the iPad. I assume those still exist. I've only used the folio version the past 7+ years, myself. I hate the idea of the back getting damaged from regular use or dropping.

      That said, I don't think you could design a keyboard cover any better than this one. It folds two ways, one with the keyboard in front of the screen and one way with the keyboard behind. When the cover is folded over either way, the hard plastic of the keys does NOT touch either the front or the back of the iPad. That's good design! The other, much cheaper, folio I bought and reviewed scratched my screen when it was closed. Yuck.

      One thing I really appreciate about this keyboard is that it does not need charging or a Bluetooth connection. That is one less cable to worry about and the keyboard will never run out of power while you're using it. The way the cover connects is securely via the magnets on the side of the iPad. I suppose were it backlit, it would draw more power from the iPad. As it is, this keyboard is impossible to use in dark rooms if you don't touch-type, but fine in average-lit rooms or daylight. Honestly, I don't do that much writing on the iPad, but when I do, this works much better than the onscreen keyboard.

      The keyboard is touted to be "full sized" but it falls a bit short of the width and height of full-sized Air keyboard. The action is pretty stiff, but the layout is such that you're not randomly hitting extra keys or functions. The delete and shift keys are where your hands expect them to be. I've owned some other third-party iPad keyboards that stuffed in random function keys or made the right shift key too small, so I always had to look at my hands rather than touch-type.

      I do not think I would have paid full price for this keyboard, especially since it isn't backlit. The Amazon price is decent, especially if you want to have a very slim, very convenient keyboard that you never have to charge right at your fingertips. It definitely makes the iPad even more portable and functional. Whether you want to use the iPad to view videos at almost 90 degrees, to write with the keyboard at around 50 degrees, or take the cover completely off and hold just the pad in your hands, you can do all of that very quickly and easily. That, I think, are the smarts in this design.

      I'll be looking for some sort of back cover or film, though, that fits with this cover. That way, the metal will be protected even when the front cover is off.

      Reviewed in Italy on September 19, 2022
      Style: ItalianColor: CharcoalVerified Purchase
      La tastiera, come ogni prodotto originale Apple, è di qualità eccellente.
      Si collega senza il minimo intoppo all'ipad (8a G.) con il suo aggancio magnetico che non sbaglia un colpo.
      Viene riconosciuta in maniera istantanea dall'ipad, senza effettuare alcuna operazione di installazione.
      La tastiera è di un materiale simile al neoprene, totalmente impermeabile e quindi a prova di incidente nell'uso (polvere e liquidi).
      l'escursione dei tasti è molto piccola, ma d'altronde con una tastiera praticamente a scomparsa non ci si poteva aspettare di meglio. ad ogni modo la digitazione è ottimale.
      Non copre la parte posterire dell'ipad!!!
      io ho acquistato contemporaneamente un guscio protettivo da ricercare tra quelli compatibili con la tastiera (ossia che lasciano liberi i contatti di collegamento)

      5.0 out of 5 stars Nicht günstig, aber absolut perfekt! Wer es sich leisten kann: kaufen!
      Reviewed in Germany on February 2, 2021

      Vorweg: Nein, diese Tastatur ist alles andere als günstig. Aber: Sie ist jeden Cent wert. Ich habe mir ein neues IPad gekauft und lange überlegt, ob ich mir diese Tastatur leisten soll. Es gibt durchaus auch deutlich günstigere Tastaturen. Bei meinem alten Tablet hatte ich eine solche und war insgesamt eigentlich auch zufrieden damit. Die original Apple Tastatur hat für mich folgende Vorteile:

      + sie lässt sich sehr leicht entfernen, da sie magnetisch gehalten wird. Ein großer Vorteil, wenn man die Tastatur nicht immer braucht. Sie ist zwar nicht schwer oder besonders klobig, aber angenehmer ist es natürlich ohne ;-)
      + Die Tastatur muss nicht umständlich ein- und ausgeschaltet werden, und auch nicht per bluetooth verbunden. Die Verbindung zum IPad wird über drei Kontakte an der Seite des IPad hergestellt. Ebenso die Versorgung mit Strom.
      + Die Tastatur lässt sich ohne Probleme auseinander- und zusammenfalten. Der Klappmechanismus ist nicht zu leicht- und nicht zu schwergängig.
      + Der Druck, der nötig ist, um die Tasten anzuschlagen, ist für meinen Geschmack genau richtig gewählt
      + Der Tastenabstand ist natürlich enger, als bei einem Laptop oder gar einer „richtigen“ Tastatur, man stellt sich aber sehr schnell darauf ein

      Negativ: bisher nichts gefunden

      Fazit: Für mich der ideale Begleiter und die perfekte Ergänzung zu meinem IPad. Ich möchte nicht mehr darauf verzichten!
