BLUTLOTUSKeyboard Case for iPad 9th/8th/7th Generation 10.2 Inch,360° Rotatable Magnetic Keyboard Case with Pencil Holder Grooves Design(2021/2020/2019),7 Color Backlit Detachable Wireless (Black)

This review is based primarily from my wife's feedback as I bought it for her, although I have used it a little myself just for testing.The first one I ordered didn't work at all, it would go dead the second it was detached from the USB charger. My wife really wanted one though, and this had great reviews, so I exchanged it for another and the second has worked great.it's well made, sturdy, and the iPad second gen clips right in. She doesn't have a pen but there is a space for one so I can't comment on how it works.It charges with a USB-C adapter, holds a charge a long time, and the keyboard itself hold the bottom of the iPad in place when it's propped open. The kickstand keeps it sturdy, the red backlight is a very good choice as it's easiest on the eyes in the dark, and once connected - itself an easy process - it works just like a regular keyboard. The volume and brightness controls reflect immediately on the iPad, the media player controls work in everything including YouTube, and it has all the command, control, alt, function and other keys from both Mac and PC keyboards.My wife has praised it over and over, and sometimes when using it will say 'I love this keyboard' or 'this keyboard is so great.' It has converted the iPad into a not-quite PC and really expanded, at least for her, what it can be used for.Once we got one that worked, it has worked great.

My wife didn’t want it. After she received it and put Gen9 in it, she is happy and loves the color(teal).

I used this product for 2 years without issue. After 2 about 2 years the backlight stopped working. That wouldn’t have been a big deal honestly, except the keys are teal and the printed letters on them are not bright white so it is near impossible to see without the backlight. And the size of the keys is a little small so that made for slightly awkward typing here and there. For the price, this was a good product. The case is still going strong.

Case is great fits and works like I hoped it would.

I was originally looking just for an external keyboard to use with my new iPad. I am very glad that I decided to purchase this case with magnetic keypad. Keypad is very easy to sync to your iPad. The outside case is very protective of your iPad . There is no need to purchase an additional case or cover for your iPad with this, and you have an external keyboard to use. Has excellent charge time and can be recharged quickly. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for either a case or external keyboard for their iPad. Reasonably priced and good quality.

Everything was great! The light is a little dim behind the keys on the keyboard but better then the last one I had.

I really wanted a nice iPad case that included a (detachable) keyboard and a place to keep my Apple pencil. This case does all of those, just not well at all and it's got a whole bunch of other flaws that really detract from its ease of use and handling. First the keyboard: it's super thin and lightweight, but does not do well with fast typing. I don't know if it just can't keep up with me or what, but the error rate is much, much higher on this keyboard than any others I use. It does have colorful back-lighting, but you can only see it in a dark setting. There is no battery percentage indicator; the only clue your battery needs charging is when the teeny little blue light in the upper right starts blinking. I have no idea how much power you have left when that happens. It pairs nicely with the iPad the first time, but sometimes seems to lose its pairing and you need to go into Bluetooth settings on the iPad to reconnect. It should pair the minute you turn it on. As for the case itself: it seems sturdy enough but it is also clunky and heavy. If you store the keyboard inside the case, it's even heavier, but if you don't do that, you have no way to protect the keyboard when you are not using it. When the keyboard isn't attached, opening and shutting the case is not smooth. There are so many folds that you need two hands to maneuver it all to get it closed up just right. I often feel like I'm going to drop the whole thing or the iPad is going to fall out. If you want to use the case as a stand, there are three grooves in the one flap so you can set it up for viewing. If you are not in one of those grooves, the iPad slips and goes flat. This is not an issue if you have the keyboard attached to the flap as the edge of the keyboard will hold the iPad in place. The Apple pencil holder is very good--it's the exact right size, is easy to get out via a slot in the back, and there is a little holder for the cap for when you are charging the pencil. Finally, the buttons that you use to control your iPad are awful. The on/off switch at the top right of the iPad is really, really hard to get to, as are the two volume / brightness buttons at the top right side of the iPad. The reason they are hard to get to is because that is where the piece of the outer case is attached to the part that holds the iPad itself. The back piece extends beyond the iPad case and that is where you need to get your finger in to adjust things--and it's really, really hard to get in there to do that (and I don't have large fingers). The cutout for the charging cable at the bottom of the iPad is so close to the input slot on the iPad that you have to be very precise to get the charger into the right spot on the iPad. For the most part, you can't do it without looking directly at it; this is not the case with other cases I've had. Overall, I'm disappointed with the product.

The keyboard isn’t the easiest to use but it’s not too bad, the case kinda slips off easily. The quality is alright.
