Recommendations on a slimm keyboard case for Ipad Pro 4gen

By Karina Velazquez, 8 June, 2023

hi guys.

Finally, if you recall one of my last posts, I got a nice deal on an ipad pro 4th generation.

So, i'm looking for a nice slim keyboard case for it, but my experience has not been nice with 2 options, the Zagg Pro keys (which has not a trackpad) and the Goojodoc a1890.

What I'm looking for:
A case which doesn't make my iPad look as it is inside a halloween costume.
A case that is slim, no matter if the edges of my ipad keep nude, cause I'm very carefull with my devises, so there is no way I will be dropping it from a 6 feet hight.
A keyboard that has a function keys row.

What I didn't like about the Zagg Pro keys and the Goojodoc cases:
The Zaag case was beautiful on slimness and tecsture, but the iPad has to be inside a hard ugly shell to be attached to the case, which makes it heavy and unstylish.
The Goojodoc was also very nice, without a hard shell, and the iPad attaches to the case by magnetcs, but the case has a big issue which is that when you close or open the case, the iPad crashes with a metal cilinder on the bottom side which let my iPad with a line of paint there every time I close or open it, and for one person that is coming from a brydge keyboard which damaged two corners of my iPad air 4, I don't want anything that could damaged my new iPad.

A last comment, I would have bought a second hand apple magic keyboard, but the issue with it is that it doesn't have the function keys row.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Hey there.

I will be watching this thread with interest. As you know, I have the Magic Keyboard which I’m happy with except it doesn’t have, as you said a function row. I really wish it did. It has a wonderful keyboard though. I wonder if you’ll end up with the Apple version in the end or are you holding out for a function row?

The Logitech combo touch is…

The Logitech combo touch is quite nice, with function keys, though it has a kickstand so harder to use on the lap. It did have a bug where if you closed it voiceover remained talking. Apple assured me that it is fixed, but I don't believe them.

Otherwise, I'd suggest getting a iPad stand like those by Satechi or the magnetic one by, I can't remember, it is on the apple store though, and a full sized keyboard. It means you can pluck the iPad off the stand when you want to use it for casual stuff, and then pop it on when you want to do work. There are simply too many compromise, in my view, with any of the keyboard cases, bulky, expensive, poor material choice, lack of keys, useless track pads... and so on.
