typecase Touch for iPad 9th Generation Case with Keyboard (10.2", 2021),Multi-touch Trackpad,10 Color Backlight, 360° Rotatable, Thin & Light for 8th Gen (2020),7th Gen (2019), Air 3,Pro 10.5 (Black).

TL/DR: I have taken this thing around the world for the past year and it has held up spectacularly. The flexibility makes it easy to instantly convert to a tablet / typing stand, which is perfect for use on a cramped airline tray. The case is extremely durable and easily handles getting jostled around in my day bag. If I needed to buy another case right now, it would be another one of these, hands down. This is the case you're looking for.My iPad 9th gen fits snugly into the top part of the case. It's absolutely never going to pop out on its own. Getting it in (or out) requires about 30 seconds of patience. The case feels sturdy, and the ability to reverse the keyboard / use it as a tablet stand has come in more handy than I imagined.The keyboard has that "slim keyboard" feel. It's perfectly fine for short emails or posting to social media. I shoot a lot of documentaries, and this has been a lifesaver for typing up notes. Key accuracy is excellent, but once in a blue moon it will miss a key when I'm typing in a long block of text. Given the occasional (very rare) miss and the "slim keyboard" feel, I wouldn't want to use this to bang out a full-length novel, but it's more than enough for typical daily use.The keyboard backlighting is excellent. Unlike some of the cheaper cases out there, this one doesn't blind you with full-intensity ultra-bright neon colors -- a HUGE deal in a darkened aircraft or when using this at night. Of the four brightness settings, #4 is excellent for daytime use and #1 is almost too dim, so they're spaced out really well. At first I thought the color selection was gimmicky, but it turns out that using red at night really helps in a dark environment.Battery life is adequate. Not amazing, but more than enough to get me through the day.The only thing I want to point out as possible negative -- and I'm not docking a point for this -- is the appearance. This is a hard plastic case, and it looks the part. I couldn't really tell from the photos but when it arrived, there's no mistaking this for a high-end case. If you're looking for a luxurious, fashionable cover for your iPad, look elsewhere. This is built to keep life's scratches and nicks away from your iPad, and it doesn't try to look "cute" or "trendy". It's perfectly fine for my needs (those "trendy" cases look really bad once they get a few scratches in them), so if you favor durability over fashion, this is your case.

Perfect and useful when I need a keyboard for a certain iPad project or task, and the track pad saves a bit of time, too. Functions perfectly. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Backlighting is cool and I like the stylus loop.

I researched keyboard cases for a few weeks before settling on this one and I am so happy I did. The keyboard works excellently, after the first time pairing it to my iPad, connects automatically once I turn it on, the mouse pad thing works great (only two cons about it: it feels a little rough on my fingers but that’s hardly a problem, and when you click it, it sounds pretty plastic-y, but again, hardly a problem).The part that holds the iPad is secure. The rotation and movement to make the iPad tablet mode (not using the keyboard) works great. It’s a little stiff, but it’ll loosen up with time.As another reviewer said, when you flip the on/off to turn the keyboard on, the keyboard lights cycles through the colors, then turns off. The lights are not bright enough for that to be bothersome.The Apple Pen holder is just whatever, it is nice and secure, but I wish it was a little more secure because the first time I stored it in my bag, the little cap for my Apple Pencil fell off into my bag, so now I put my iPad in my bag with the Pencil on top so the little cap doesn’t fall off.This is such a quality keyboard, I highly recommend. Any bothersome thing can be easily overlooked.

Overall I'm super happy with this purchase. It functions just like a laptop (what I wanted) and I can still swivel it around to use it as a tablet when I need to. One star off for how oddly cheap it feels for the price-- it's clearly a plastic case, so I'l have to see how it holds up over time. The highlight of this product is the keyboard. I love how smoothly it types and just the feeling of the keys. I wish I could give a 4.5! I reccomend it.

UPDATEWhen I posted this (negative) review, the company immediately contacted me and offered to help. I didn’t really think anything could be done; they proved me wrong. They had me take some pictures, and to my surprise, they spotted something that helped them diagnose a problem. They gave me detailed instructions on how to reset things, and I am now happily typing on a very functional keypad, working just like new. So now I give 5+ stars. Not only is the device back to perfect working order but I have a rave review for the customer service, as well. Thanks, folks!(Old review — this was the problem the company responded to)This case seemed great — protected my pad, allowed me to type, let me set my pad on a desk or my lap. Then one day, it decided to stop. I’d only had it about 5 months. I typed essentially every day. Now I’m back to hunt and peck typing basically. Not good. Way too expensive to last only 5 months.

I LOVE this iPad case! The keyboard feels nice and is extremely responsive. The lighting is adjustable, not too bright, and makes me feel extra fancy. The case is a great fit for my 10" tablet, easy to use, and absolutely worth the price tag. I use my iPad as a reference tool for D&D, and this case makes my DM life so much easier! Forget buying another laptop and just convert your iPad with this case! I bought the black case and spruced it up with meme stickers. :3
