ZAGG Rugged Book Detachable Case and Magnetic-Hinged Keyboard for iPad Air 11" (M3)/ Air 11" (M2)/ iPad 10.9" (air 4th gen)/ 11" (1st & 2nd Gen), Bluetooth Pairing, Backlit Keyboard, Black

I bought this for my school iPad because the ambulance company I worked for had them and I love them. Lots of rubber around the whole thing for shock protection, I have a space for my Apple Pencil, keyboard is though enough to support the weight of the iPad so I don’t need a stand on the back and I can detach the keyboard to use with my computer. Very compact and handy little work station. Only problem I do have is the covers for the charging port and the headphone jack will lose integrity and fall off over time with regular use.

I honestly love this. It feels super sturdy and gives my iPad way more protection than any case I’ve used before. The keyboard connects easily with Bluetooth and types really smooth. I really like that it even lights up, which is a nice bonus. I also like that I can switch between devices and use the case in different positions. The battery lasts forever, and the built-in spot for an Apple Pencil keeps everything together. It’s a little bulky, but totally worth it for how durable and functional it is.

Was skeptical at first with quite a few reviews saying the keyboard doesn’t last, but decided to try it anyway. So far so good, it is the most durable case i could find for the iPad Pro, with a keyboard. Time will tell how on how long it lasts. The magnet holds the pied very strong and sable, no issues with accidental release. Backlit keyboard works well and connects quickly with no issues. Wouldn’t mind a little brighter for the brightest setting for the key board. Other then that its a quality case and keyboard

Editing my original review, which still can be found below.Updated Review:While I really loved this case originally, it stopped working within 6 months. I assumed it must be my fault or something because I had loved the first one I bought for over a year. Unfortunately, it was outside the warranty, so I bought another in March 2023.I mostly use my iPad to watch shows or read, but I used the keyboard once a month to take notes during a committee meetings as secretary. Yet, at the end of June 2023, it stopped working yet again.Both times, most of the keys have stopped registering. This time, caps lock is stuck “on” and I can’t even get the keyboard as a whole to turn off.Unfortunately… there’s only a month warranty on the product. So twice in less than a year I’m left hanging. I’ve emailed the company, but they responded that I’m outside of warranty.Despite originally loving this product, I cannot in good faith suggest a product that stops working within a few months. I think my next move is to order on the actual Zagg website as they have extensive warranties and have been amazing to work with in the past — they just can’t fulfill warranties on products bought by a 3rd party.********************Original Review:I use my iPad mini like a computer all the time. I originally had this keyboard on my first iPad mini, but after I got a new one, I thought I could go with one that didn't seem so hefty (read: I wanted a super cute pink one instead). Dear reader, let me tell you, that was a mistake. I finally decided after 2 years of hardly using my iPad that maybe if I had the same keyboard I had before that I would use it more. And I do!It is hefty, but in a sturdy kind of way not a too heavy kind of way. The iPad section easily pops off if I just want to have that without the keyboard. The keyboard's battery life lasts and lasts, and easily connects to the iPad.People are always asking me where I got it and are saying how cute my "tiny laptop" is. Plus, it's made doing my on-the-go writing way easier. My fingers fit perfectly to the keys and I type just as easily as I do my full sized laptop. Lastly, I no longer have to worry about being clumsy... I've dropped this thing a few times and it's protected.

I bought the earlier model of this case and liked it enough to get it again. My work is mostly on the road and the case is subject to falls and other trauma. It definitely has performed well in these conditions. The keyboard also functions really well and this version’s keyboard is nicer than the last. The last version was held up by a propping the back of the case and this was not easy to use when trying to use in my lap. I was happy to see that this case had a hinge to support the pad instead, but the hinge is very stiff. When trying to move it back, the iPad often pops-out and makes a bad sound like it’s breaking. It actually is breaking, as it only took a couple of months for cracks to form on each side of the case. A rather disappointing design flaw to an otherwise great case/keyboard.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve been using the ZAGG Rugged Book Detachable Case with Magnetic-Hinged Keyboard for my iPad Air and it’s been a game-changer. The keyboard delivers a satisfying, laptop-style typing experience with backlit keys and multi-device Bluetooth pairing—perfect for switching between my iPad and phone. The case is built like a tank, offering military-grade drop protection up to 6.6 feet and a magnetic hinge that locks in multiple viewing modes (keyboard, video, book, and case mode). Setup was seamless—just pair via Bluetooth, and I was ready in under a minute. The lithium polymer battery lasts ridiculously long—I’ve gone weeks between charges
