I purchased the same 3 years ago. Six months ago, the space bar and frequently used keys began sticking and falling off. I got my money’s worth. Travels well.
This keyboard works well and as described. The case is sturdy and I like that it has a flap for the pencil to keep it secure. I thought that it would be able to work via Bluetooth when not physically connected to the case, but that is not the case since it won’t turn on without the magnet sensor docking thingy being connected. I read you can just use a magnet and trick it into working but haven’t tried that yet…could probably figure out a way to use the pens magnet also but haven’t tried that either yet since I haven’t been lazy enough to find the motivation to want to control the iPad from laying on the couch.
I had a previous version of this item. When the iPad was in it, it stayed there. The current version is easy, too easy, to remove the iPad and it removes itself very often…to the floor goes the iPad. So, I am not liking it as well as the previous version.
