I prefer the Folio Keyboard over the Magic Keyboard. I just sold my Magic Keyboard actually. I prefer the versatility of the Folio and the lightness. If I want a better typing experience and trackpad, thats what my MacBook Pro is for.
hi! can i fold the keyboard backwards whilst the ipad is still standing up (not flat), like when i want to watch a movie but the keyboard is in the way. can the keyboard be folded out of the way while the ipad is still rather vertical?
Exactly what brought me here. Just ordered a folio and plan to retire the magic kb. It removed the tablet aspect imo. I constantly used it as a laptop replacement and I’d rather use my laptop for that. I would highly recommend the magic kb for someone without a MacBook.
I bought the magic keyboard first and liked it but after watching some Smart Keyboard reviews it had me curious because of how versatile it looked. I bought one and compared it to my magic keyboard and i prefer to use the smart key board more than the magic keyboard. Though i agree that the keys on the Smart Keyboard aren’t as satisfying as the magic keyboard, I’d still prefer to use the Smart Keyboard since it’s waterproof compared to the magic keyboard. Personally that’s a plus for me since i like to always have a drink next to me when I’m at Starbucks lol. Overall I personally can’t justify the price of the magic keyboard after using the Smart Keyboard so I’m sticking with the Smart Keyboard for my iPad Air 4.
I have this folio keyboard on my 2018 ipad pro. It's been ~2+ years too and mine looks completely beat up :)). You must be baby sit your, so that it still looks like new.
Seems from what I gather both the magic keyboard at $300 plus dollars starts to determinate after a year of use. I guess they just don’t build things like they use to? Save money, but at the same time charge as much as possible. Seems to be the apple way.
Thanks for this review! I’ve been trying to decide what keyboard would work best for me. I’d like to use a tactile keyboard to get back into writing and I REALLY wanted the cheaper option, but it looks like I’ll be leaning more towards the Magic Keyboard
you all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
@Gianni Lachlan thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Purchased this iPad ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA for my 4yr old grandson. He seemed to have grown out of his AMAZON tablet and he was always wanting his sister's iPad. So, I had to break down and buy him his own iPad. This was an EXCELLENT price on AMAZON! He loves it, he and his sister can play games together.
Is your screen damaged from being against the keys the whole time? My 2019 13 inch pro has some screen damage from the keys (when closed of course) :-(
@@likeluca Thanks, man. Indeed, no damage after 7 months on mine. But it gets smudges and it’s started to peel on corners. I am EXTRA careful and clean it often with bottle water. Apple being Apple, I guess.

Exactly the reason why I got a Smart Keyboard Folio today! The Magic Keyboard makes it a limited laptop which I don’t need.

Have you not experienced some troubleshooting like the Smart Keyboard folio randomly stops working?
is this compatible with ipad air 4 ?
More helpful than most on the subject actually thanks
Hows the quality of the silicone after 2 years?
I think I've used mine once since I got the magic keyboard.
I wish your review was there before i bought mine, I have the same feeling about it.

2:37 Did you mean Apple's *Magic Keyboard?*
Good review

I have it now for 1 year, and it doesn‘t damage the screen. :)
@@likeluca Thanks, man. Indeed, no damage after 7 months on mine. But it gets smudges and it’s started to peel on corners. I am EXTRA careful and clean it often with bottle water. Apple being Apple, I guess.
Keep Up
Is that a keyboard only?
My screen is all marked (scratched) with the Smart Keyboard Folio keys. Did the same happen to you?
Can this keyboard be used with the iPad Air 4?
Yup
@@ARNAV_CHAURASIA thank you!
Can ipad air 4 use auto wake/sleep feature with this old one folio?
1 year ago.... I saw a sale for 70 euro... should I do it?
Love your review! So helpful! 😊
Awesome video, thank you for this review!
Wow that's cool now I just need the iPad to go with it
Thanks !!
Gotta have the track pad. Logitech makes one w a track pad. 1.25 pounds. Much lighter than the others...
Awesome video Harris! You ever gunna change your video aspect ratios to take full advantage of flagship phone screens?
I wouldn't; then it would look worse on computers.
You said it all man , I bought one and I regret doing it … it’s just not functional to me at all
5:30 Me too! I hate the keyboard, feels like a worse version of the butterfly keyboard...
İs this backlit
no
Nice
Hehe
