Tempting, but only $11 more at the mothership without the “open box” risk. (Sometimes new, sometimes used and someone’s replaced a new one with a clearly used one. Been bitten by this before, got the tee shirts.)
PRICE DROP!
Small Print: If you already purchased, that money will hop back into your pockets soonish.
I would actually say “literally bitten” - I once ordered a used laptop on eBay that had bites (and urine smells) that came from a dog.
Oh, neat-o! Thanks! This is tempting as it’s an easy way to carry an iPad and do email and other productivity work, but I have multiple Logitech BT keyboards around the house, stands, and the Apple Smart Folio to protect the iPad.
I was curious if you could fold the folio back on itself for holding the iPad Pro. Multiple buyers and reviewers on the interwebs said that you can. The keys are unresponsive in this mode … the iPad must be nestled into one of the two magnetic slots for “desktop” or “laptop” use. When the iPad is removed from these, keyboard is inactive. Some say it “feels funny” or “mushy” holding the iPad with keys on the back.
Some reviewers pointed out that the keyboard arrangement is compact compared with the same folio for the 12" iPad Pro.
Since the keys may rest against the iPad screen, I would recommend a screen protector (I use a removable “paper-like” cover).
This model uses the smart pogo pins at the back of the iPad so no BT pairing is needed. The folio keyboard is powered by the iPad.
P.S. @ThunderThighs The product listing states “Magic Keyboard Black” but this is actually an “Apple Smart Keyboard Folio.” The part # MXNK2LL appears to be correct. I recognized it by the product photo.
Updated. Thank you.
