I can tell you it works great with my hearing aids. I have rechargeable HA’s. They work all day until around midnight. I stream a lot and watch YT. Great sound.

Not only is the cover material on Apple’s keyboards a fingerprint magnet, it begins to wrinkle, tear and flake after only a few months. I went through two of them with the same results. Finally switched to the Logitech Folio Touch for my iPad Pro 11”. My only regret is not discovering this gem earlier. It’s half the price of Apple, the cloth cover is a dream, the trackpad is excellent, it’s got the function keys, the backlighting looks great, and it provides side protection _and_ protection for the Apple Pencil. Because it uses the Smart Connector it avoids Bluetooth lag and doesn’t need to be charged. It’s simply better than Apple’s product in every way. The only downside to the Logitech is the weight.
Wow, really? I’ve had my keyboard For about 18 month now and the only thing that I see is a shiny spot on my space-key from wear-down. What did you do to make the covering go all flaky?
@@DieFarbeLila88 That’s just it. I didn’t do anything. Just normal use. Happened with two different units. Maybe the material reacts badly to subtropical environments.
The weak point of unprotected iPad Pros, particularly the 12.9" models, is cracking the screen by dropping on any corner from as short a distance as 1 foot. The screen on my first 12.9 iPad Pro was broken by the carelessness of an allegedly "untrained" Apple Store employee who took my old, working one out of its protective case to examine it without my permission, since I wasn't trading it in, while I was awaiting the delivery from the stock room of a newer model, w/o asking me and w/o out putting it back into its corner-protective case, before handing it back to me with a new boxed iPad Pro, where it promptly slipped out (like a watermelon seed) from the sandwich made of the slick-wrapped new iPad Pro and the slick back of my old protective case, and destroyed it. A dispute arose, and I gave them back the new iPad Pro and reversed the credit card sale, and ordered a replacement directly from Apple, and purchased Apple Care for it. The new (in 2022) Apple case with keyboard protects the screen but not the corners, so when I inadvertently dropped the 1 year old iPad Pro 12.9 from a height of about a foot, it hit on the corner and cracked the screen. Under Apple Care, the replacement costs about $50 plus tax, and you get very quick shipping out of a new replacement iPad Pro, and restoring it completely from iCloud is as easy as Apple can make it, which is very easy. This time I bought an Apple Box Defender series to give my 3rd iPad Pro 12.9 the protection I needed. Screen replacement on an iPad Pro, if available at all, costs about $1,800, more than the cost of a replacement model. If you outgrow or wear out an earlier model iPad Pro, they can often be used as a second screen with an iMac, etc., if the screen is not cracked, which had been my intention before the Apple Store employee prevented me from carrying out my planned use of my old one. P.S. If you've ever lost your expensive Apple Pen, as I have, I suggest the following from Amazon - "Stylus Pens for iPad, etc." on sale today 9-28-23 for about $8 plus sales tax, with free shipping of the two included pens and extra tips for Prime members.
My first time watching you and I’m very impressed with your review of each product with the pros & cons mentioned. Thank you for not using to much difficult techno-talk so an average non tech person can understand what you’re talking about. You kept it succinct, clearly showed nice close ups and didn’t speak so fast that I had to go back and listen over again to what you said. Well done I will be tuning in again for sure.
Thanks for stopping by the channel and leaving a comment! I'm glad you liked the style and info in the video. If you're an iPhone/Apple Watch user too, check back after those products are released. I have a lot of content planned for those this year 👍
What power meter are you using? Seems like it is a really worthwhile accessory to have around. Consider including it in the list of equipment you use. Really insightful information. Thanks.
Thanks for including the links to the products. I really dislike when people who review products don’t include the links to the products they review. This got you a sub and a like sir! Awesome content and helped me out! Thanks sir!
Thanks for the sub! And yeah, I too have been frustrated by not being able to find the exact product in a video, that's why I even started linking the studio gear I use because I kept getting a lot of questions about the two Elgato lights I have mounted on either side of my desk.
I recommend the otterbox defender case, I use a 12.9 inch iPad Pro, with Wi-Fi cellular, and one t of storage, its well protected, and a screamer 🤙🏻, from an 80 year old senior
I use the Hyperdrive USB-C hub on my iPad Pro. It has a HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, Micro and SD card slots, and 3.5 mm headphone jack. It can also be used on a Mac. I also use the Xaosun USB-C to USB-A adaptor. This is great fro plugging directly into USB A ports in hotels and airports.
I BOUGHT THE LOGITECH COMBO TOUCH FOR THE FULL PROTECTION, MORE ORIENTATION & THE FUNCTION KEYS. IT WAS A NO BRAINER & THE FABRIC TYPE CASE/KEYBOARD IS BEAUTIFUL, IT'S NOT FABRIC AS SUCH SO NO WORRIES ABOUT IT GETTING DIRTY. I'M REALLY PLEASED WITH IT & I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. 😊👍
I've been using a Magic Keyboard since 2018 and don't have a case for my iPad Pro, just a matte screen protector. Additionally, I use the onGRid mount with my Magic Keyboard, which allows me to attach a USB-C hub and store some cables in the pouch.
You had me hooked up on your first line "if you guys are in a hurry, check the time code in the description". That's thoughtful, respectful, and plus you have a great content. Cheers from Rio
I was watching and got to the part where you discussed the Apple smart keyboard folio. I had one on my 2018 11" and it just recently wore out. Some little wire or connector finally died and the keyboard went dead. But, while it worked I thought it was great. I much prefer the Magic Keyboard Folio but I had the opposite experience - I got to use the Smart Keyboard Folio first, so I got to upgrade. For you it was more of a downgrade, and I can see that. The "mushy" keys are mushy, compared to the Magic Keyboard. Definitely. However, I have typed for two years on the Smart Keyboard Folio and I have to say that even if it's different, it isn't necessarily a bad keyboard. I still prefer the Magic Keyboard. I will also say that the Magic Keyboard folio missed a big mark for me when I learned I couldn't fold the keyboard back out of the way and use the iPad in portrait mode. This was easy with the Smart Keyboard Folio. I think Apple needs to keep innovating and design a ver 3.0 that is the Magic Keyboard that also can fold back out of the way properly, letting users immediately and seamlessly go into Portrait mode.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Apple Smart Folio case. I'm ok with the feel of the keys, but what makes it the best cover for me is when you want to use the pencil to draw or mark a document like you would a piece of paper. You just flip the unit around so that the ipad screen is flat, close to you and the keyboard is not in use as it is upside down, furthest away from you. This allows me to be in meetings and record (works great in this position) and take notes while I use the upright keyboard as a "shield" so that my notes are private.
I'm sure it is good but everything you said there TY is equally true of the Logitech Keyboard Case in this video and it is virtually half the price of the Apple one. Have been using mine for about 8 months now and it's superb. The keyboard is fantastic and my wife, a professional typist, says this is the only one she has used where she can genuinely touch type and not have to keep checking whether it has picked up everything accurately.
I sampled the Apple Smart case in store and the feel of the keys was awful to me, simply no comparison to the Magic keyboard. Definitely a non-starter for me.
This may be a long shot. But it’s there any way that you can turn your screen black while you are on a keynote presentation whit out pressing “b” in the keyboard? I can’t have a keyboard while I’m giving my classes, I’m walking around, and my magic keyboard it’s to bulky. Any advice? Thanks
I have had issues with EVERY keyboard i have bought but the magic keyboard is going on 2 year. My best before was 8 months. Its expensive but imo its worth it!
One accessory I feel is a must is a charging port extension. After only two years of owning my iPad Pro the charging port became so damaged I couldn’t charge my iPad. So I had to buy a new one. I feel the charging ports are designed to fail. So I bought a six inch extension that stays plugged in and I plug the charging cable into the extension when charging. I know some people might not like the look of a cord hanging from their iPad but I feel it’s worth it not to have to buy a new iPad every few years. Also, l did some research and found the best case,in my opinion. It’s the ZUGU it has a magnetic stand and covers all sides. It also has a lip around the entire iPad to protect from dropping.
I bought a 2017 10,5" iPad Pro a couple of weeks ago, and I'm getting the Logitech Combo Touch for it. I had bought the 1st gen iPad Pro 12,9" but always felt it was too big, so the 2nd gen was the perfect size and the screen is much better. Thanks for the comprehensive tests!
Ok, you got my attention, vote and support right off the bat! That's rare for me to say so. As a accessory tech nut myself I can agree the products your discussing are ALL OF GREAT QUALITY. Good to see someone doing their homework, GREAT JOB! 👍
I have this exact same refrigerator and I would never throw anything at it. The dark stainless is covered by a thin plastic layer and it get scratches just by sneezing too close to it.
I really enjoyed this video but it seems that none of the iPad covers/keyboards that you covered are rotatable unless you have the magnetic one that you can attach to your fridge or some other metal surface. As someone who uses their iPad in portrait mode more often than landscape, which rotatable cover would you recommend?
Much appreciated. Just got an iPad 10th gen and don't know nothin 'bout Apple. So, it was nice to learn that for about $35, I will have a basic magnetic cover, screen protection, and most importantly a way to use SD cards to make my 64G tablet a great way to carry all of my photography to the pubs to show off.
The Sony headphones may be a bit more on the expensive side...BUT they last forever! and the quality is just so so so soooooo good. The "silver" version which looks more like beige is really cool looking as well.
For sure! I use the MX Keys as my desktop keyboard and their MX Master as my desktop mouse. My last Logitech Keyboard (K800) was still going strong after 7 years, but then I dropped something on it by accident and broke it. I'd still be using that one if it wasn't broken.
I got the sony headphones before but returned it and just got the airpods, since its more compact and easier to move around with, as someone who wears glasses, headphone isnt good for people wear glasses, it clamps your glasses into your head's sides and over time just gives you headaches.
I had the Apple Magic Keyboard and liked it, but gave it to my daughter. I MUCH prefer the Satechi Slim X1, which is featherlight, cheap , able to connect to 3 different devices and properly backlit. I have my M1 Macbook Pro for proper work, and long-battery work, and my iPad with thin case and this keyboard is literally perfect!
That smart keyboard case is amazing, too bad you didn't like it. I don't think anyone should go as far to say "dont buy it" it's so slim and perfect for travelling. I love it
I use an iPad Pro for everything. I also have an adapter to connect to anything electronic I use. I also bought hearing aides that uses blue tooth to connect to anything with speakers so my wife doesn’t have to listen to them anymore.
Is you fridge a silver type? What about paper like screen covers? Do they hold the glass together if it falls and breaks? I’ve been using the glass one you show. I just got a 4th generation 11’ iPad Pro to replace my 2nd generation one. I’m trying to figure out if I should buy a more protective case than the Apple top of the line. Im on my second one of them. They have issues and with a lot of usage the keyboards stop working as well. Both cases have started with the ether “c” not typing. The sides being exposed ended up falling in my anthropomorphic onto times and the corners cracked. i decided when changing the glass protector that I was just going to replace my device. Im doing transfer today, my husbands always done this for me. But I want to tackle it myself this time. Any advice for a newbie at doing this?
Another case option is the Pitaka case…it is super sleek and works WITH the Magic Keyboard. So you can detach from the Magic Keyboard and still have rear/side protection, and when you want to use the Magic Keyboard, it will easily snap in place and the Pitaka case has built in metal pieces that allow the charging/etc to work between the ipad and the Magic Keyboad. It’s seamless. You don’t get all the adjustable angles with the other cases..but it’s very sleek.
iPad cases that do not have a secure place to hold the Apple Pencil is a problem. As I have the Magic Keyboard, I got a CoverBuddy that works great - only the build quality has been an issue with the connectors breaking off a couple of times requiring a new replacement!
How about a power adapter and power cable for the iPad Pro. I have a iPad Pro 3.0. I know apple says a 20W with a USB C cable, but I have not been able to charge my Pro adaquately with a standard 20W charger.
Office lab keyboard for 99 dollars is the best Magic Keyboard alternative. It’s magnetic and it’s got function keys and doesn’t drain the iPads battery. The keyboard lasts over a month with heavy use
12:20 if you're a student and want to use your tablet for writing/ taking digital notes don't get the Logitech Combo touch. I got one for my Ipad and it bounces up and down when you write on it. I much more highly recommend getting a smart folio or any case that has a triangle base for writing. I looked at the ZUGO case but it doesn't go as far down as the cases that have the magnetic triangle foldable base.
Glad I found your channel. Thanks for the very informative video on accessories. Looking to upgrade my 2018 IPad Pro 11” and this gives me some great ideas to go with a new Pro 12.9”.
Older people lose the ability to hear high frequencies so it is a waste of money to buy expensive headphones. The money pays for the accuracy of those higher frequencies. You can have your computer emit sounds of different frequencies to find out if you can hear them or not.
Excellent Video with so much information and advice … fan of your channel now. Any comparisons about latest iPad pro with keyboard case and magic pen VS MacBook Air. My use is not for work related use but more of recreational use with creating slide show and movies for the family. Can you please send me a link if you’ve already made a video on this. Thanks , Sanjay
oh my godd thank you thank you i was thinking about buying the new iPad because i ran out of storage with my iPad even though it has 256GB the microSD adapter is going to save me a ton load of money thank you and don’t worry i dropped follow.
Ok. A suggestion. Instead of the mouse that you recommended. Imagine you’re on a plane or sitting in a car. You really aren’t going to be able to get much land space for a mouse to move around with. That’s why I recommend the Logitech tracball or even smaller, the tracman lift. It is awesome for your thumb and while I was testing it out. Your thumb won’t get tired. It’s an awesome mouse that doesn’t need you to move your thumb far to go across a dual screen setup. From one side to the other end.
A very well planned, well shot, well recorded video indeed! And the products introduced are also simply awesome! There may be few differences of opinions, but most of the accessories are perfectly described. 4.5/5!
What? You think people need someone to “be asked” to post comments or rate contents on social media? If yes, who asked you to respond to my 1 year old comment?
Hi, I would like to get your opinion on what item would be best for transferring pictures from my I pad to an external drive. I need to free up space on the iPad. Your opinion on photo stick?
One thing I was interested in but didn’t see a link for is the device you used to check the power output of the chargers. Can you give a link for that? Thanks!
First of all…love love love your channel. You have by far the best reviews and you are my go to. My questions is…..do you have a link or info on the two studio lights that your using clamped to the table behind you in this film? I am looking for studio lights just like these. I film my instructional videos of painting for teaching and these would be perfect. Please help. Thx Rebecca
Hey Rebecca! Thanks for the kind words! As for the studio lights, those are Elgato Key Lights: amzn.to/3uHgEg9 That link is Amazon affiliate link, but you can search directly on Amazon, Best Buy, etc. if you'd prefer not to use the link :)
I had an ipad case logitech with magnetic hinge and will never buy one again: less than a year of use and the keyboard no longer stayed attached to the other part of the case no matter what I tried. The connectors were clean but no longer working. It became a real pain and I had to change this rather expensive case earlier than wanted. 12:11
ESR case is a bad copy of the Zugu case. Zugu has way better fabric inside and better place (for pencil charging). Pencil is sunk in the case a little so it doesn't fall out.
The “Magnetic Flip Folio case” by ESR (aka the ESR Sentry Stand Case), is an obvious ripoff of the Zugu Case for the iPad Pro. Buy the Zugu case. It’s only slightly more expensive, and you’re getting a case from the company who actually created it! Plus, Zugu’s packaging is awesome.
I agree and thought the very exact thing when I saw him have the case mounted on refrigerator. I have owned the Zugu case for 2 years and love it’s function and durability.
Just interred in getting a new iPad Pro, but I write music and want to use Staffpad with iPad. The keyboard Logi sounds great and the MX mouse out MX3. The earphones sounds great but I’m deaf in one ear and can’t hear stereo.

The new (in 2022) Apple case with keyboard protects the screen but not the corners, so when I inadvertently dropped the 1 year old iPad Pro 12.9 from a height of about a foot, it hit on the corner and cracked the screen. Under Apple Care, the replacement costs about $50 plus tax, and you get very quick shipping out of a new replacement iPad Pro, and restoring it completely from iCloud is as easy as Apple can make it, which is very easy. This time I bought an Apple Box Defender series to give my 3rd iPad Pro 12.9 the protection I needed. Screen replacement on an iPad Pro, if available at all, costs about $1,800, more than the cost of a replacement model. If you outgrow or wear out an earlier model iPad Pro, they can often be used as a second screen with an iMac, etc., if the screen is not cracked, which had been my intention before the Apple Store employee prevented me from carrying out my planned use of my old one.
P.S. If you've ever lost your expensive Apple Pen, as I have, I suggest the following from Amazon - "Stylus Pens for iPad, etc." on sale today 9-28-23 for about $8 plus sales tax, with free shipping of the two included pens and extra tips for Prime members.
On the other hand to light is also not great. For home use ,not on the go
My first time watching you and I’m very impressed with your review of each product with the pros & cons mentioned. Thank you for not using to much difficult techno-talk so an average non tech person can understand what you’re talking about. You kept it succinct, clearly showed nice close ups and didn’t speak so fast that I had to go back and listen over again to what you said. Well done I will be tuning in again for sure.
Thanks for stopping by the channel and leaving a comment! I'm glad you liked the style and info in the video. If you're an iPhone/Apple Watch user too, check back after those products are released. I have a lot of content planned for those this year 👍
I’m glad to see people inserting scripture into digital life styles , God bless you brother!
What power meter are you using? Seems like it is a really worthwhile accessory to have around. Consider including it in the list of equipment you use. Really insightful information. Thanks.
Yep, I want to know that too!
Thanks for including the links to the products. I really dislike when people who review products don’t include the links to the products they review. This got you a sub and a like sir! Awesome content and helped me out! Thanks sir!
Thanks for the sub! And yeah, I too have been frustrated by not being able to find the exact product in a video, that's why I even started linking the studio gear I use because I kept getting a lot of questions about the two Elgato lights I have mounted on either side of my desk.
Yeah those Elgato lights look pretty awesome. Keep up the awesome work!
At what timepoint in the video did Techisode reference the Kindle? I did not see it in the product lists.
I meant links haha. Good catch ima correct that
he gets paid for having the links? of course he put them there?
Best accessories video I’ve ever seen, and I watch them all! Subscribed!!!
Wow, I really appreciate that! And thanks so much for the sub!
I recommend the otterbox defender case, I use a 12.9 inch iPad Pro, with Wi-Fi cellular, and one t of storage, its well protected, and a screamer 🤙🏻, from an 80 year old senior
I use the Hyperdrive USB-C hub on my iPad Pro. It has a HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, Micro and SD card slots, and 3.5 mm headphone jack. It can also be used on a Mac. I also use the Xaosun USB-C to USB-A adaptor. This is great fro plugging directly into USB A ports in hotels and airports.
I BOUGHT THE LOGITECH COMBO TOUCH FOR THE FULL PROTECTION, MORE ORIENTATION & THE FUNCTION KEYS.
IT WAS A NO BRAINER & THE FABRIC TYPE CASE/KEYBOARD IS BEAUTIFUL, IT'S NOT FABRIC AS SUCH SO NO WORRIES ABOUT IT GETTING DIRTY.
I'M REALLY PLEASED WITH IT & I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. 😊👍
I've been using a Magic Keyboard since 2018 and don't have a case for my iPad Pro, just a matte screen protector. Additionally, I use the onGRid mount with my Magic Keyboard, which allows me to attach a USB-C hub and store some cables in the pouch.
Just grabbed the 5G 11” gen 3 256gb iPad Pro with the magic keyboard. I love it. I use it for work and for fun as well. Stay safe all!!
I just had an anxiety attack looking at your 25,000 email notifications 😖 BROOOO…clear your inbox!! lmao
You had me hooked up on your first line "if you guys are in a hurry, check the time code in the description". That's thoughtful, respectful, and plus you have a great content. Cheers from Rio
By far the most accessible content about some of the ipad most complexe features, and also one of the best selection out there! thank you
I was watching and got to the part where you discussed the Apple smart keyboard folio. I had one on my 2018 11" and it just recently wore out. Some little wire or connector finally died and the keyboard went dead. But, while it worked I thought it was great. I much prefer the Magic Keyboard Folio but I had the opposite experience - I got to use the Smart Keyboard Folio first, so I got to upgrade. For you it was more of a downgrade, and I can see that. The "mushy" keys are mushy, compared to the Magic Keyboard. Definitely. However, I have typed for two years on the Smart Keyboard Folio and I have to say that even if it's different, it isn't necessarily a bad keyboard. I still prefer the Magic Keyboard.
I will also say that the Magic Keyboard folio missed a big mark for me when I learned I couldn't fold the keyboard back out of the way and use the iPad in portrait mode. This was easy with the Smart Keyboard Folio. I think Apple needs to keep innovating and design a ver 3.0 that is the Magic Keyboard that also can fold back out of the way properly, letting users immediately and seamlessly go into Portrait mode.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Apple Smart Folio case. I'm ok with the feel of the keys, but what makes it the best cover for me is when you want to use the pencil to draw or mark a document like you would a piece of paper. You just flip the unit around so that the ipad screen is flat, close to you and the keyboard is not in use as it is upside down, furthest away from you. This allows me to be in meetings and record (works great in this position) and take notes while I use the upright keyboard as a "shield" so that my notes are private.
I'm sure it is good but everything you said there TY is equally true of the Logitech Keyboard Case in this video and it is virtually half the price of the Apple one. Have been using mine for about 8 months now and it's superb. The keyboard is fantastic and my wife, a professional typist, says this is the only one she has used where she can genuinely touch type and not have to keep checking whether it has picked up everything accurately.
I sampled the Apple Smart case in store and the feel of the keys was awful to me, simply no comparison to the Magic keyboard. Definitely a non-starter for me.
Very informative. Nice work Techisode 👍🏾
Eeeeeexcellent video. Really loved how you go into the nitty-gritty comparison for each category of products.
This may be a long shot. But it’s there any way that you can turn your screen black while you are on a keynote presentation whit out pressing “b” in the keyboard? I can’t have a keyboard while I’m giving my classes, I’m walking around, and my magic keyboard it’s to bulky. Any advice? Thanks
I have had issues with EVERY keyboard i have bought but the magic keyboard is going on 2 year. My best before was 8 months. Its expensive but imo its worth it!
One accessory I feel is a must is a charging port extension. After only two years of owning my iPad Pro the charging port became so damaged I couldn’t charge my iPad. So I had to buy a new one. I feel the charging ports are designed to fail. So I bought a six inch extension that stays plugged in and I plug the charging cable into the extension when charging. I know some people might not like the look of a cord hanging from their iPad but I feel it’s worth it not to have to buy a new iPad every few years.
Also, l did some research and found the best case,in my opinion. It’s the ZUGU it has a magnetic stand and covers all sides. It also has a lip around the entire iPad to protect from dropping.
What a comprehensive review of useful accessories! I’m certain it took you a lot of time and effort. So, Thank You!!
Your reviews of the keyboards and cases are really thorough. Fantastic.
I bought a 2017 10,5" iPad Pro a couple of weeks ago, and I'm getting the Logitech Combo Touch for it. I had bought the 1st gen iPad Pro 12,9" but always felt it was too big, so the 2nd gen was the perfect size and the screen is much better. Thanks for the comprehensive tests!
Ok, you got my attention, vote and support right off the bat! That's rare for me to say so. As a accessory tech nut myself I can agree the products your discussing are ALL OF GREAT QUALITY. Good to see someone doing their homework, GREAT JOB! 👍
I have this exact same refrigerator and I would never throw anything at it. The dark stainless is covered by a thin plastic layer and it get scratches just by sneezing too close to it.
I really enjoyed this video but it seems that none of the iPad covers/keyboards that you covered are rotatable unless you have the magnetic one that you can attach to your fridge or some other metal surface.
As someone who uses their iPad in portrait mode more often than landscape, which rotatable cover would you recommend?
those time codes, thank you! before you even asked, hit like. thank you for being a mindful creator.
Much appreciated. Just got an iPad 10th gen and don't know nothin 'bout Apple. So, it was nice to learn that for about $35, I will have a basic magnetic cover, screen protection, and most importantly a way to use SD cards to make my 64G tablet a great way to carry all of my photography to the pubs to show off.
The Sony headphones may be a bit more on the expensive side...BUT they last forever! and the quality is just so so so soooooo good. The "silver" version which looks more like beige is really cool looking as well.
I am a fan of the Logitech keyboards since day one. Excellent quality, price and top notch customer support.
For sure! I use the MX Keys as my desktop keyboard and their MX Master as my desktop mouse. My last Logitech Keyboard (K800) was still going strong after 7 years, but then I dropped something on it by accident and broke it. I'd still be using that one if it wasn't broken.
I got the sony headphones before but returned it and just got the airpods, since its more compact and easier to move around with, as someone who wears glasses, headphone isnt good for people wear glasses, it clamps your glasses into your head's sides and over time just gives you headaches.
THE best gizmo review video I've EVER seen - thank you so much. Greetings from North Wales UK.
Wow! Thanks so much for the kind words :) I'm glad you liked the video :)
Can you please add link to USB power meter you are using to check power output of USB C chargers? Thanks.
I had the Apple Magic Keyboard and liked it, but gave it to my daughter. I MUCH prefer the Satechi Slim X1, which is featherlight, cheap , able to connect to 3 different devices and properly backlit. I have my M1 Macbook Pro for proper work, and long-battery work, and my iPad with thin case and this keyboard is literally perfect!
I’ve been using the Smart Case on the Original iPad Pro for a few years and would not go back. Works perfectly, and have never had an issue with.
That smart keyboard case is amazing, too bad you didn't like it. I don't think anyone should go as far to say "dont buy it" it's so slim and perfect for travelling. I love it
I use an iPad Pro for everything. I also have an adapter to connect to anything electronic I use. I also bought hearing aides that uses blue tooth to connect to anything with speakers so my wife doesn’t have to listen to them anymore.
Is you fridge a silver type? What about paper like screen covers? Do they hold the glass together if it falls and breaks? I’ve been using the glass one you show. I just got a 4th generation 11’ iPad Pro to replace my 2nd generation one. I’m trying to figure out if I should buy a more protective case than the Apple top of the line. Im on my second one of them. They have issues and with a lot of usage the keyboards stop working as well. Both cases have started with the ether “c” not typing. The sides being exposed ended up falling in my anthropomorphic onto times and the corners cracked. i decided when changing the glass protector that I was just going to replace my device. Im doing transfer today, my husbands always done this for me. But I want to tackle it myself this time. Any advice for a newbie at doing this?
Another case option is the Pitaka case…it is super sleek and works WITH the Magic Keyboard. So you can detach from the Magic Keyboard and still have rear/side protection, and when you want to use the Magic Keyboard, it will easily snap in place and the Pitaka case has built in metal pieces that allow the charging/etc to work between the ipad and the Magic Keyboad. It’s seamless. You don’t get all the adjustable angles with the other cases..but it’s very sleek.
iPad cases that do not have a secure place to hold the Apple Pencil is a problem. As I have the Magic Keyboard, I got a CoverBuddy that works great - only the build quality has been an issue with the connectors breaking off a couple of times requiring a new replacement!
This video was brought to you by the word “incredible”.
I wish those IPAD cases had a SECURE place for the IPAD PENCIL - I've lost mine and it cost $140 to replace, that hurts.
Who has a fridge in a convenient location for cooking and looking at the iPad at the same time?!?!
my main storage hog is youtube. i have tons of saved playlist with premium service. can i tell my ipad to run youtube on that storage device? thankyou
Is there a cd disc drive for the Apple iPad? That would be the coolest thing ever
Thanks. You have provided a great review of these products. I have the iPad Pro 2021 and your review have given me some great product ideas.
How about a power adapter and power cable for the iPad Pro. I have a iPad Pro 3.0. I know apple says a 20W with a USB C cable, but I have not been able to charge my Pro adaquately with a standard 20W charger.
You did a great feature-benefit presentation!! Great job 👏
Office lab keyboard for 99 dollars is the best Magic Keyboard alternative. It’s magnetic and it’s got function keys and doesn’t drain the iPads battery. The keyboard lasts over a month with heavy use
12:20 if you're a student and want to use your tablet for writing/ taking digital notes don't get the Logitech Combo touch. I got one for my Ipad and it bounces up and down when you write on it. I much more highly recommend getting a smart folio or any case that has a triangle base for writing. I looked at the ZUGO case but it doesn't go as far down as the cases that have the magnetic triangle foldable base.
Glad I found your channel. Thanks for the very informative video on accessories. Looking to upgrade my 2018 IPad Pro 11” and this gives me some great ideas to go with a new Pro 12.9”.
All encompassing, excellent review. Awesome job!
Best Ipad accessory video I've ever watched!
what is the device used to measure the USB output to devices?
That mouse was the winner of all.
Best Informative tech accessories video I've seen so far. You just got yourself a Sub and a thumbs up..... Oh im sharing this.....
Older people lose the ability to hear high frequencies so it is a waste of money to buy expensive headphones. The money pays for the accuracy of those higher frequencies. You can have your computer emit sounds of different frequencies to find out if you can hear them or not.
You asked, which is viewers favorite accessories? I can say you're my favorite tech reviewer from now on, Nice presentation my friend. Keep it up
50 videos packed in one! 🕐 Salute!
Excellent Video with so much information and advice … fan of your channel now.
Any comparisons about latest iPad pro with keyboard case and magic pen VS MacBook Air. My use is not for work related use but more of recreational use with creating slide show and movies for the family.
Can you please send me a link if you’ve already made a video on this.
Thanks ,
Sanjay
I was used to get ESR …..after 2 months, i decided to replace it by another…..light one. My ESR case was strong and rigid but extremely heavy.
I bought my iPad and 2022, will any of these features work on my iPad?
What monitor do you recommend to use with any tablet PC that I might get?
oh my godd thank you thank you i was thinking about buying the new iPad because i ran out of storage with my iPad even though it has 256GB the microSD adapter is going to save me a ton load of money thank you and don’t worry i dropped follow.
Notes is my favorite app! It just keeps getting better and better!
Yeah, Apple has made some incredible improvements to it over the years :)
Excellent description of the products. Can you please consider same for Mac based peripherals particularly for multimedia / audiovisual / music
Can you move pics and video taken with the iPad, onto the Microsd card? That’s what I care about the most.
I bought the multi-port card reader which plays movies but does not seem to have a fast forward or scrub function. Am I missing something?
Ok. A suggestion. Instead of the mouse that you recommended. Imagine you’re on a plane or sitting in a car. You really aren’t going to be able to get much land space for a mouse to move around with. That’s why I recommend the Logitech tracball or even smaller, the tracman lift. It is awesome for your thumb and while I was testing it out. Your thumb won’t get tired. It’s an awesome mouse that doesn’t need you to move your thumb far to go across a dual screen setup. From one side to the other end.
A very well planned, well shot, well recorded video indeed! And the products introduced are also simply awesome! There may be few differences of opinions, but most of the accessories are perfectly described. 4.5/5!
who asked you to rate the video?
What?
You think people need someone to “be asked” to post comments or rate contents on social media?
If yes, who asked you to respond to my 1 year old comment?
👏👏👏👑🍹GRAZIE
Excellent presentation, enjoy listening to you as well as learning
I miss the Geniocase keyboard option. Review them please.
Great video. Thank you for all the work you put in for this video. Great accessories for sure
The screen protector you recommend. How is it with finger prints? The one I have now shows every single one. Wondering if they’re all that bad?
I like Anker products I have never been disappointed by them
I wish I watched the whole video before throwing my iPad Pro on the fridge. I no longer have an iPad.
I love the Magic Keyboard. Have had it 2 years and still works like a charm.
im waiting for the day when ANC headphones can cancel my 7-sound chronic tinnitus 🤩
Where have you’ve been all my life! Thank you
Hi, I would like to get your opinion on what item would be best for transferring pictures from my I pad to an external drive. I need to free up space on the iPad. Your opinion on photo stick?
That mouse is frickin’ crazy good !
Where do we find the amperage we can charge our products? I don't recall seeing anything about it. Thanks!
Love that before first 1 min this gentleman give you everything ❤
One thing I was interested in but didn’t see a link for is the device you used to check the power output of the chargers. Can you give a link for that? Thanks!
First of all…love love love your channel. You have by far the best reviews and you are my go to. My questions is…..do you have a link or info on the two studio lights that your using clamped to the table behind you in this film? I am looking for studio lights just like these. I film my instructional videos of painting for teaching and these would be perfect. Please help. Thx Rebecca
Hey Rebecca! Thanks for the kind words! As for the studio lights, those are Elgato Key Lights: amzn.to/3uHgEg9
That link is Amazon affiliate link, but you can search directly on Amazon, Best Buy, etc. if you'd prefer not to use the link :)
I had an ipad case logitech with magnetic hinge and will never buy one again: less than a year of use and the keyboard no longer stayed attached to the other part of the case no matter what I tried. The connectors were clean but no longer working. It became a real pain and I had to change this rather expensive case earlier than wanted. 12:11
ESR case is a bad copy of the Zugu case. Zugu has way better fabric inside and better place (for pencil charging). Pencil is sunk in the case a little so it doesn't fall out.
The “Magnetic Flip Folio case” by ESR (aka the ESR Sentry Stand Case), is an obvious ripoff of the Zugu Case for the iPad Pro. Buy the Zugu case. It’s only slightly more expensive, and you’re getting a case from the company who actually created it! Plus, Zugu’s packaging is awesome.
Not sure which one you are referring to but Zugu products are 4 to 5 timea the price of ESR products!
I agree and thought the very exact thing when I saw him have the case mounted on refrigerator. I have owned the Zugu case for 2 years and love it’s function and durability.
Zugu is junk
Seams coming apart after 6 months easy use
Great Video! Very nicely done! Very informative Thank you 🙏 I like the magnetic charging cable 😊
Just interred in getting a new iPad Pro, but I write music and want to use Staffpad with iPad. The keyboard Logi sounds great and the MX mouse out MX3. The earphones sounds great but I’m deaf in one ear and can’t hear stereo.
His comment about hubs only mirroring the display… remember this video was made early 2022. External monitors now expand the desktop correctly.
Amazingly informative. Thanks for giving so much detail.
0:01 heart stop beating for a second 😅😅😅😅
Would you recommend the best paper feel screen protector?
Thank you for all the chapters! They really helped.
I really like the Zugu cases for iPad.
