My daughter loves this for Roblox
Color: A-Pink
This 11th gen iPad case with keyboard is exactly what I needed. The case feels sturdy and protective without being too bulky, and the keyboard connects instantly with no lag. The keys have a nice, comfortable feel—much better than I expected for a compact keyboard.
I love that the case has multiple viewing angles and holds the iPad firmly in place. The built-in keyboard makes typing so much easier for work, school, or travel, and the battery life lasts a long time between charges.
Overall, it’s a great all-in-one setup that turns the iPad into a mini laptop. Excellent quality, great fit, and definitely worth the purchase!

Wrong size iPad? No problem
Color: A-Pink, Color: A-Pink
I want to start this review by saying that I forgot to check that my iPad was a 10th generation before buying. Sadly my iPad is not a 10th it’s a 9th generation. This means mainly that it’s slightly smaller than what this case was designed for. However I can happily say that I didn’t run into any issue because of this. The only thing is the sound buttons don’t work, but that’s fine with me cause I don’t use sound on my iPad. It honestly fits really well too, it’s only like a half inch of space in the case that my iPad didn’t fill. The keyboard does feel a little cheap but other than that it works perfect. 5/5 cause despite my error is still works perfectly for me.
