iPad Pro Magic Keyboard REVIEW - My Experience! | Two Weeks Later (11" + 12.9")

Link to Paperlike! paperlike.com/Noah9 I've taken my time to analyze Apple's Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11" and 12.9" over the course of two weeks. In this video I talk about the overall build quality, my gripes about the case design, the typing and trackpad experience as well as share my thoughts on the "laptop replacement" aspect of this accessory when combined with iPad Pro.

First time I saw the iPad 10th gen, I knew that I was going to get it. kzbin.infoUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA Having done that, I have no regrets whatsoever. The battery life is superb, the landscape camera is a winner for me, the shape is suitable for my carrying case. As part of my purchase, I threw in a case from ESR, and a Logitech Crayon to compliment my purchase. So far so good on my iPad. The Logitech Crayon works perfectly with it as well.

Great video, Noah. I always wait for your review. Your review seems to be honest and well thought out. Keep up the great work.

"Yeet" Besides his opinion on the product, can we also appreciate his cinematography? it's amazing. One of the best. 9/10 because u know, room for improvement.

[@NoahHerman]

I like your mindset and YES, 9/10 is more than generous. Probably a higher score than I deserve because there is always room to improve :)

[@heastin92532]

I continue to go back and forth in my thoughts regarding this accessory for the iPad Pro. When this accessory first came out, I had my gripes about the design of the accessory namely the floating idea of the iPad Pro when attached to the case. However after watching several review videos of this accessory, I understand why the iPad has to float, especially when you compare the accessory to the Brydge keyboard, because when you tilt the iPad too far, the iPad of course falls over, with this case that does not ever happen. Plus, the keyboard and typing experience is the best I have ever experienced on an keyboard case for the iPad. When using the TrackPad on the case, it really does transform how you interact with the iPad Pro. I was thinking of sticking with the previous version folio keyboard case from Apple, and getting an external TrackPad, but I do prefer the typing experience over the older Apple Folio typing keyboard for the iPad. The Magic Keyboard case definitely brings the iPad Pro closer to being an laptop replacement. What I enjoy about the iPad over a laptop is the Apps. I find a lot more apps more built for my needs than I find on MacOS. During my college days, it also made more sense for me to have a laptop, especially when I was in college the iPad did not exist. The iPad did not exist till I was in my graduate program, but a laptop again made more sense for me. What I love about the case and I cant break away from it though, is the typing experience. The case makes me want to use my iPad more often for typing, weather to take notes for work, or simply typing reviews like this one. If was still in school, the iPad would be my go to for computing portability, and have something like a MacMini for my home computer to do all my serious work on. Which, is kinda like my setup now, but I use a Pc for work and an iPad Pro for my personal computer. The iPad to me, is just more fun to use, and it offers more convenience than a traditional laptop. How it accomplishes this, is its just faster to login to your iPad than a laptop, apps just run faster on the iPad Pro, and you can’t beat the screen when comparing the device to a MacBook Air. iPad Pro’s are just more fun to use period!

[@SamAlexanderYouTube]

I started my KZbin channel with my iPad Pro 2018, I film everything with the ipad, use its mics, then edit the footage with lumafusion and make the thumbnails on the iPad. its not perfect, I want to get a camera, but until I can afford all the other gear, the iPad allows me to actually create things, and I love it. I honestly think its one of the best tools than a creator trying to get a start could have. it sounds kinda crazy but if I could get a bigger iPad like a 14" 15" I totally would, when video editing you always need more screen real estate. great review!!

Seeing the opening clip .. I have to mention this as well, also managed to get hold of a mint condition iPad original 😊 it’s not mine but I got it from my friend which just had it in the box for years.

[@thihal123]

Hey Noah, thanks for the review. Question: with the iPad taken out of the Magic Keyboard case, and with the cover closed, if you put the iPad Pro on top of the closed case, will the magnets somewhat latch on to pull in the iPad Pro? I ask because if it does, that’s a probably good way to put the device into note taking or drawing mode. Curious to know and thanks for replying.

[@ballboysoccer644]

for drawing and stuff u could flip the whole case over and use the ipad as the bottom to have a nice drawing angle

I was very reluctant about getting this Magic keyboard. Now, I may order it in a couple months or so

Hi noah 😊 Love you guys💖💕

[@trshbrth4208]

Great review :). So Is it strictly the video editing software and lack of Final Cut Pro? Ive always thought the ipad can replace a laptop for the everyday user.

[@duchenedesignsolutions7036]

Great video Noah. I use Lumafusion too and I have just been feeling confined on the smaller screen compared to on a larger screen with my other programs I use. Do you do any plugging into a monitor with your iPad? Any luck? Thanks again!

Thank you for the review! I can’t wait for my iPad Pro to come in. I have the keyboard already and I’ve tested the keyboard which is really good. It’s second only to my favorite keyboard MX Keys. As someone who uses a iPad as their main device, I don’t use the pencil as Because I have no artistic merit in that area lol, this will be perfect for me. I can’t wait till later this fall when Microsoft updates their software for mouse support.

[@adeemmohammed7637]

i like how he started of with a solid history listen

[@mvander7462]

IT actailly works to flip the whole thing around (with keyboard up in the air) and use for drawing that way. If you put it on something grabby (or add a little non-slip material on the back of the case) it helps prevent the hinge from giving out with the weight of your hand. you could also tuck something under the hinge in this position - a little wonky I admit but it does give you a good angle for using pencil. Also you can open it one-handed by laying it down with the camera facing down and away from you and then pulling the keyboard up and towards you, then whole thing then pivots on the hinge as you swing the keyboard down onto the table - I actually always open it this way - even when I have both hands available - the second hand can grab the top of the screen as it opens and tilt it back to where you want it.

[@oscarusestools]

Any tips on cleaning the outside and keyboard buttons

[@waleedalami2625]

Hi Noah, I hope you’re doing great. What do you think is the best storage option for a 12.9” iPad Pro (I don’t intend on using cloud storage) which is going to be used primarily for going paperless (note taking, e textbooks, etc) ?

[@vKevinnn]

Right now I’m using an elecom paper screen protector and I really like it, I dumbly left the outer screen protector on which was causing color distortion but after removing that it became crazy better and super rough since I got the rough version. I imagine the smooth version would be even more clear which I wonder how great that would be, this protector really emulates that rough paper texture it’s kind of uncanny

[@sagy90]

Which size will you recommend if I would like a hybrid experience, using the iPad for creating documents or even code (fingers cross for iPadOS 14) while still having the ability to sit on a couch with a cop of coffee and read data sheets or watching a video ?

[@leightonwong2719]

How is the outside shell of the case holding up? Is the soft material starting to wear off? I can imagine the bottom side of the case would wear....

[@jayxielayne9806]

The iPad is so cool hoping I can have one soon.

[@dkz251]

I was thinking of buying this case too but the limited tilt is just aaahh! My back

[@davidsegun6384]

I was here late because I was studying but immediately I saw the notification I pressed it.

[@seanespique]

Flip case upside down for drawing mode. It will look silly but it works if you want a good angle for drawing while keeping it cosy and safe in the case 😉

[@freddyespinoza6054]

For the scratching your iPad problem, just buy a SwitchEasy CoverBuddy or wait for the Pitaka Air Case for the iPad. They will protect your iPad and are compatible with the Smart/Magic Keyboard

Hello. I am planning to buy a new PC. I sold my Macbook Air 2017 for an upgrade. Now that the Magic Keyboard came out, I am thinking if I should buy the new Macbook Air or the iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil. I used to have my MacBook Air for basic tasks like making powerpoint presentation and word documents with Microsoft Apps. Nothing extraordinary like video editing. However, I am planning to go paperless this time with my notes. I know I won’t be able to achieve that with a MacBook. Will buying the iPad set make me meet my needs? Or will it be more practical to buy the new Macbook Air and an iPad NON-Pro plus the Pencil?

Hopefully they make a case for the magic keyboard case. In aluminum with little feetys at the bottom

Hi! I have the Macbook 12 and I’m still split between getting the Magic Keyboard or the Smart Keyboard Folio for an iPad pro 12.9. If I plan to use the ipad pro 12.9 mostly note taking (60-70% of the time), which one would you suggest for me? (I am a fan of productivity and portability)

[@nitsugazemag]

If you are worried about the protection of your iPad, you can get a d-brand skin and the case will still snap on and off. That way when you remove it to draw on a flat surface, you don’t scratch your case or you can close your case and draw on top of that.

The Magic Keyboard with Trackpad makes the iPad feel like the remained version of a Netbook. However the iPad does not suck like Netbooks mostly did so this is kinda what I think they were supposed to be. A device to easily get work done (note taking, reading, content consumption) on the go.
