[POWERFUL BATTERY] - The high-quality battery is to ensure superior performance and safety. Between charges, the battery can last for 60 hours use (with backlit off) or standby up to 3 months. Safe, Durable & Convenient.

The Kibbol is our favorite keyboard case for iPad 9.7-inch. It fits like a glove, and it's comfortable to type on. While it's not quite as portable as a portable keyboard, the Kibbol's unique one-piece design makes this case much easier to carry than a standard clamshell keyboard case. The case's magnetic attachment system is extremely convenient, and it's almost impossible to misplace it. As long as you're willing to forgo portability, the Kibbol is an outstanding keyboard case. The keyboard is sturdy and the keys have good travel. It's also backlit, which makes it easy to type at night. It includes a fingerprint reader, and it's compatible with iOS 13 or later. Bluetooth 5.0 is faster than Bluetooth 4.1, and it also supports faster data transfers. The Kibbol is pricey, but it's well worth the money.

AUTO WAKE & SLEEP -The hardshell cover folds back to act as a stand and triggers the automatic sleep and wake function of your iPad, so it comes to life when you open the keyboard case cover. The keyboard is reasonably well-spaced with concave keys and it enables to access all ports and buttons easily.

The keyboard is responsive, the backlit keyboard is easy to see, and the case is slim enough to fit in most bags. The iPad Keyboard Case has a couple of minor flaws, however. The keys are a bit small for big-handed people, and the case is slightly heavier than some competitors. Overall, though, this is a solid buy.

Auto Wake and Sleep Keyboard CaseOnce you open or close the cover, your tablet would automatically wake up or sleep. Precise cut-outs and openings for iPad 9.7 inch with easy access to all tablet features and give your iPad full protection to keep your iPad free from scratches, dust, wear and tear.

The MMK keyboard case offers a convenient, affordable way to turn your iPad into a portable laptop. The case is thin and lightweight, so it doesn't add much bulk to your iPad. The 360-degree rotating stand and 180-degree flip make it simple switch between typing and viewing. The keyboard is responsive and has a good layout, and the backlighting is bright enough to read without straining your eyes. The iPad's built-in auto-sleep feature prevents it from going to sleep while you're typing, so it's less of a hassle than turning it off. The keyboard has a four-zone magnetic auto-sleep/wake feature, so the iPad will sleep when you close the case and wake back up when you open the case. The iPad's auto-wake feature does the same thing, but it's much slower. The iPad case also protects it from scratches and dust, so your iPad will stay looking new for longer. The iPad case isn't perfect, though. The iPad's auto-wake feature doesn't work when the iPad is in a case, and the iPad's auto-sleep feature can be slow to respond. Also, the battery drain is noticeable, so you'll need to charge your iPad more often when it's in use.

Perfect for working, writing, or watching videos at work, school, travel, and home.

The iPad 9.7 Keyboard Case is an attractive, well-made case with a pleasant keyboard, and it's one of the best choices for anyone who wants a keyboard to go with their tablet. It's compatible with all versions of the 6th and 5th generations of iPads, and also with the 2016 iPad Pro 9.7. The keyboard is well-designed, with a key layout that mimics that of a traditional laptop keyboard, and though it's a little cramped, it's fairly easy to type on. The keys have a nice feel to them, and they're backlit, so they're comfortable to use at night in the dark. The iPad 9.7 Keyboard Case is the lightest and thinnest option we tested, weighing in at just 1.8 pounds, and it's noticeably thinner than the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio (3.3 pounds) or the Logitech Slim Combo Keyboard (2.6 pounds). The downsides of the iPad 9.7 Keyboard Case are its high price and relatively limited keyboard size, which makes it harder to type on than either of its rivals. The iPad 9.7 Keyboard Case is also less durable than either of its rivals, though it's fine for occasional use. The Apple Smart Keyboard Folio is more durable, and it has a bigger keyboard. The Apple Smart Keyboard Folio also has more of the features you want, including a built-in battery, a fingerprint sensor, and a stand. The Logitech Slim Combo Keyboard is lighter and thinner, and it has a bigger keyboard. It's the best overall pick, and it's worth considering if you have a bigger budget.

The keyboard is well made, offers a comfortable typing experience, and it's easy to use. The keyboard is detachable, so if you're only using the keyboard, you can store the iPad in the case. Our only gripe is that the Bluetooth connection sometimes disconnects, which can be a bit annoying, but it's a minor quibble. The Fintie Keyboard Case for iPad Air 2 is $40, which is a bit more than the competition, but its build quality, slim design, and comfortable keyboard make it a good choice.

The iPad 9.7 Keyboard Case with Built-In Pencil Holder is an excellent keyboard case for 9.7-inch iPads. The slim design makes it easy to carry, and its built-in pencil holder makes it a convenient writing tool. The case offers good typing accuracy and is responsive and comfortable to use, thanks to the scissor-structure keys. It's light enough to stand for typing, but I prefer holding it. The keyboard is backlit, which is a nice feature, and you can adjust the brightness, although I wish more brightness options were available. The case charges via an included micro USB cable, which can be a challenge to find, but it's easy to plug in, and the battery lasts a long time. The keyboard case is compatible with the latest 2018 iPad 6, 2017 iPad 5, and iPad Pro 9.7, but it's not compatible with older iPads, such as the iPad 2 and 3. The case has a PWR button on the side, which is useful for waking the iPad from the sleep mode and for turning the backlight off. The keyboard case is extra thick, so it won't be suitable for every iPad model, but it's perfect for 9.7-inch iPad 6 models and for 2017 and 2018 iPad Pro models.

The Fintie keyboard case is one of the few iPad keyboard cases we tested that felt more like a laptop keyboard than a cheap silicone keyboard. The case is made of a textured, hard plastic, and it's thinner and lighter than most of the cases we tested. The keyboard itself has a firm, springy feel to it, and the keys have a slight spring to them as well, so typing is responsive. The keyboard is backlit, and you can change the color from blue to red. The keyboard is backlit, and you can change the color from blue to red. The keyboard detaches magnetically, which means you don't have to remove it from your iPad before you can carry it around. The keyboard has space for both Apple's Pencil and (optional) Apple Pencil adapter. The Fintie case also has magnetic slots for Apple's Pencil cap and adapter, so you can grab your Apple Pencil and Pencil cap and adapter effortlessly whenever you want, easily to carry your Apple pencil with your device. Unfortunately, Apple's Pencil is not included with the case. The case does add 0.38 inches to the thickness of the iPad, but it's minimal. The Fintie case is available in a variety of bright, fun colors, and the Marble White case we tested matches the new white color of the 2018 iPad (A1893/A1954).
