Our take on the Smart Keyboard Folio for iPad Pro 11-inch and iPad Air

The Smart Keyboard Folio is Apple's keyboard case for the 11-inch iPad Pro and iPad Air. It pairs a full-size keyboard with front and back protection and needs no charging or pairing: it draws power and connects through the iPad's Smart Connector. It folds into two viewing angles and adds little bulk. It suits people who type on an iPad regularly and want one accessory for typing and protection. Against the Magic Keyboard it lacks a trackpad, backlit keys and a floating hinge, and its keys have shallower travel than a laptop's. Owners generally like the instant setup and the slim cover, but some find the keys cramped and the folded-back keyboard awkward on a lap.

What reviewers say

  • 4.3 / 5114 ratings

Owners rate it well for convenience: it attaches and works immediately, protects both sides and keeps the iPad slim. The common complaints are the shallow, unlit keys and the lack of a trackpad.

What people mention
  • SetupPraisedOwners like that it works the moment it snaps on, with no pairing or charging.
  • Key feelMixedTyping is fine for short sessions, but the shallow travel divides people who type a lot.

Questions and answers

Does it need charging or Bluetooth pairing?
No. It connects and draws power through the iPad's Smart Connector as soon as it attaches.
Which iPads does it fit?
It fits the 11-inch iPad Pro (1st through 4th generation) and the iPad Air (4th and 5th generation, plus M2 and M3 models).
Does it have a trackpad or backlit keys?
No. It is a keyboard and cover only, with no trackpad and no key backlight.
How many viewing angles does it offer?
Two: one angled for typing and one tilted back for watching video.
Is it worth it over the Magic Keyboard?
Choose this if you want a slim, simple keyboard and cover. The Magic Keyboard adds a trackpad, backlit keys and a floating hinge, but it is heavier and bulkier.
What is in the box?
The Smart Keyboard Folio only. The iPad is sold separately.
