ESR iPad Pro 13 Inch Case with Keyboard (M4, 2024), iPad Pro 13 Keyboard Case with Easy-Set Magnetic Stand, Portrait/Raised Modes for iPad Pro 13 Keyboard, Removable Case, Rebound 360 Series, Black

Amazing product with full complete features. Yes, it’s heavy but why it’s heavy. The big plus that made it heavy is all the versatility and functionality - double protection case, removable attachment for easy pencil writing, Bluetooth connection which allow typing and writing with pencil simultaneously, multiple viewing positions……battery life of the keyboard is a big plus compared to mk.And the best part is their customer service. Great product, great company.

EDIT:I bought the Magic Keyboard. The ESR Rebound that I liked so much is now sitting in it’s box for back up and I just bought the Magic Keyboard. I regret nothing.TL:DRBasically I really like the ESR Rebound Keyboard case but I still opted to purchase the Magic Keyboard as my daily driver for my IPad Pro 13 M4. There was a lacking in the ESR Rebound in that I missed the Magic Keyboard. I kept finding myself researching the Magic Keyboard and looking at comparison videos even though I claimed to be happy with the ESR Rebound. I couldn’t get it out of my mind! So there you are, I gave in to the $299 on amazon and now I am typing on a keyboard that checks all my boxes, it’s asethetically and functionally JUST RIGHT.I bought this for my IPad Pro 13 M4, which is ginormous and quite thin. This is awesome but it causes my anxiety over the safety of the iPad to rise to a new level. I upgraded from my iPad Air 4th generation (~11”) with the white Magic Keyboard. I had my iPad Air for about 5 years and I was so used to it I would treat it very casually and throw it around, it was my go to so this big thin iPad is something to get used to.I loved the Magic Keyboard I had. I couldn’t justify spending the extra money on the Magic Keyboard even at $299 on Amazon this time around. My second go to would have been the Logitech keyboard however even on Amazon at $259 I might as well have shelled out the money for the Apple Magic Keyboard.After doing some research on compatible keyboards I found ESR made this Rebound Keyboard Case. I already am a big fan of this brand so it made it even easier to choose with the price tag on it being about $100 which is much more affordable than the previously mentioned keyboards that obviously have their quality behind them and their brands as well.It had all the things I could have asked for in the specs. A case for the random time I take my iPad off the keyboard and backlit keys. Not much to ask for however when I received the keyboard it had so much more! The function keys on the top row, the different colors for backlit keys, it’s sturdy and I feel my IPad is protected.The feeling of typing is unlike the magic keyboard in that it is clicky, somewhat like a mechanical keyboard but it is obviously not to that quality. I like how it sounds and feels while typing. I appreciate the different colors for the backlit keys however I would have been fine with just a white backlight because of what I’m used to. The trackpad to me feels like a good size, I am used to the 11” Magic Keyboard and it is about the same size, I have to get used to how loud the clicks are on the trackpad, quite different from a Magic Keyboard especially the new one with the haptic feedback. It doesn’t bother me so much as I just tap on the screen if I need to move or click on anything for the most part.The quality of the material this is made out of is easy smeared onto. If I have lotion or even semi oily hands from cuticle oil, something of that sort it definitely shows on the keys and arm rests. It’s not hard to clean but it’s just a little unsightly and I’m being overly careful with my new big toy so I am constantly cleaning. It might not be a big deal to many but I am a little neat freak.Many have commented or complained about the weight of the case and keyboard. I actually like it. My iPad has not tipped over as my old iPad Air 4th gen with the Magic Keyboard would constantly which I appreciate because it’s a big iPad and I want to keep it safe instead of having it fall off my lap or fall back on the bed because it’s top heavy. I am not one to travel around with my iPad, being a stay at home mom it does not go very far from my home unless we go on vacation and even then it depends on where we’re going. So I cannot account for traveling weight. I still feel IMO it’s not that heavy and if I were a student or if I used it to bring to work it would not be inconvenient to me. Of course in comparison to the Magic Keyboard and the Logitech keyboard they are much thinner and would be more travel friendly.The keyboard has its own battery which holds very well. I’ll be using the set up all day starting at 100% and it’ll go down to 90% by the end of the day. It does have a standby mode that it goes to automatically after a certain amount of time. You can charge the keyboard by charging the iPad but it does not work the other way around. It’s very easy to connect to the Bluetooth and I haven’t had any problems with connectivity. There is a slight lag to get it out of standby mode but it’s 2 seconds to wake the keyboard and it’s back and running, not something you’d see in the Magic Keyboard or Logitech but I can live with the 2 seconds to wake up the keyboard to keep $150-200 or more dollars.For the price this keyboard is with about the same features as the other keyboards and good quality I’m happy with it. I use my iPad everyday for productivity, organization, videos, research, recipes, messaging and browsing. I’m on here more than I am on my phone. This keyboard has been a great affordable addition to my new IPad Pro

Honestly think this is a great keyboard, and way better value for the price than Apple’s keyboard. I wish it had a “delete” button, but the battery life is great and the lighting underneath the keys is nice.I had an issue with mine not charging after only two months of use, but I sent an email to the manufacturer and they sent out a new one, free of charge, after a few days.Overall, the case has a nice finish and the magnets are strong to keep the iPad attached or the case shut. The trackpad sometimes has problems recognizing how many fingers are touching it, but for the price, this thing dunks on the Apple version all day.

This review is for the ESR keyboard case for the 2024 M4 iPad Pro 13.So, let’s start by saying this case is Exactly what I wanted for my new iPad Pro. The M4 iPad is so new, its really hard to find a good aftermarket case, but ESR seems to have read my mind and made one… a really good one albeit. There are a few nitpicks from me, but overall, this is a 5 star case.Why do want this particular case? Because I want the iPad to have a case on at all times. When it is in the keyboard case and when it’s out. ESR has made a keyboard case just for that. The iPad is essentially in a slim black case at all times, so when I remove it from the keyboard case to game or use as an iPad again, I don’t need to worry about it or have another case on standby. ESR accomplished this by making the slim case with a metal backing, so the magnets from the hinged side lock onto the slim case, not the iPad, which makes the magnetic power extremely strong. Once you snap the iPad on, it doesn’t move nor slide around. You can open, close, adjust the hinge angle without fearing your iPad will move around. Oh the slim case will also accommodate the pencil and it even has a strap that will protect the pencil when the case is closed. Overall, the case is very sturdy, well designed and built. The touchpad is excellent and the keyboard has a firm feedback which I like. Oh, the keyboard battery, yes, it has its own battery, so you don’t have to drain your iPad to use it. Yes it needs to charged, but it is also an USB-C and the battery last a long time, for weeks of use. And No it does not have a battery gauge, which at first I thought it might be worrisome, but guess what, the native battery widget on the iPad shows the keyboard battery percentage!!! This is AWESOME, see attached screen shot!Now, let me nitpick a bit… wow is it heavy. I understand with all the metal, magnets and battery, it will be heavy. I think it’s heavier than my old clunker IBM Thinkpad! But it’s something I am ok with and can live with, for all of its features. Oh, due to the weight, the keyboard does not tip over when you are using it on your lap on the couch or in bed. The weight of the battery anchors down so the iPad is not heavier than the keyboard, which is an Issue with the Apple MK, its so light that it tips over easily.The keyboard, BTW I am writing this review with it as we speak. Why does this keyboard DOES NOT HAVE A DELETE KEY??? Instead there is a screen lock key! why? It’s very frustrating that I am so used to using the delete key and every time I hit it, the screen goes blank! I will have to bring up the onscreen keyboard to use the delete key! Ugh!!! This is probably my biggest gripe with this keyboard!My recommendation to ESR would be to put the delete key back and give us one more color on the keyboard lighting, white. It has every color but white. The closest to white is cyan, which is just a lighter shade of blue! Give us pure white please!Other than that, this is an awesome keyboard case at less than 1/3 of Apple MK price! Plus its 360 protection of the iPad and onboard battery feature, it is definitely a 5 star product!
