Q: QuestionIf you wanted to take it out, for a class to write notes, could you use a clear case on it, That’ll still allow for the magnet to connect when back in case and protect it when you’re not in tablet mode, or no? I feel very uneasy removing w/o protection

Asked 5 years ago by Mbee213.

• A:Answer I am wondering why you don't want to type your notes, but to stick with the spirit of the question, there is some security exposure as it doesn't have edge protection and sufficient pull can detach it unintentionally. What I do is keep it attached and just turn it like a book, and use it like a 'notebook' as opposed to a like a 'pad'. Holding it like a notebook, the cantilever bend creates a nice handle. See photo.

Q: QuestionQ1. It seems like the keyboard lacks edge protection for the iPad itself. True? Q2. How secure is the iPad attachment to the keyboard. Does this keyboard not make the iPad more vulnerable to damage from accidental fall.

Asked 5 years ago by AMan.

• A:Answer If you’ve used the Smart Keyboard Folio, this is actually more secure that that. It has a solid magnetic connection that keeps the iPad securely connected. You are correct that this does not cover the edges of the iPad.

Q: QuestionWill this work with an iPad 7th generation

Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi, No, the Apple Magic Keyboard for 11-inch iPad Pro (1st, 2nd, or 3rd Generation) and iPad Air (4th, or 5th Generation) will not work with an iPad 7th generation. The Magic Keyboard has a different design and connector than the iPad 7th generation. The Magic Keyboard is designed for the iPad Pro and iPad Air with a USB-C connector, while the iPad 7th generation has a Lightning connector. If you are looking for a keyboard for your iPad 7th generation, I recommend the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio. It is a great keyboard that is designed specifically for the iPad 7th generation. It has a built-in trackpad, a 14-key function row, and a detachable keyboard and protective back panel. I hope this info has been helpful!

Q: QuestionDoes this key board work with the 10.2 iPad, current generation?

Asked 2 years ago by Hawkman.

• A:Answer Hey there! Nope, the Apple Magic Keyboard for 11-inch iPad Pro and iPad Air is not compatible with the 10.2-inch iPad, current generation. The 10.2-inch iPad has a different design than the iPad Air and iPad Pro, so the Magic Keyboard is not physically compatible. If you're looking for a keyboard for your 10.2-inch iPad, Apple does offer a Smart Keyboard Folio that is specifically designed for that device. The Smart Keyboard Folio is a lightweight and portable keyboard that attaches magnetically to your iPad. It also features a front and back cover to protect your iPad from scratches and bumps. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

Asked 5 years ago by Dancer.

• A:Answer The new Apple Magic Keyboard only covers the face and back of the iPad Pro. This means you can still hold and charge a 2nd generation Apple Pencil on the top/side of the iPad Pro. Short answer, yes.

Q: QuestionCould this keyboard work with a regular macbook pro (m1, 2022). Always wanted mac keyboard WITH touchpad integrated below keyboard like on laptop

Asked 2 years ago by willman.

• A:Answer Hi William, Nope, the Apple Magic Keyboard for 11-inch iPad Pro and iPad Air is not compatible with the MacBook Pro M1, 2022. The Magic Keyboard is designed to work with iPads, while the MacBook Pro already has a built-in keyboard and trackpad. However, there are a number of third-party keyboards that are compatible with the MacBook Pro M1, 2022, and some of them even have integrated trackpads. For example, the Logitech MX Keys Mini for Mac has a built-in trackpad that you can use to control your MacBook Pro without having to reach for the mouse. If you're looking for a keyboard with an integrated trackpad for your MacBook Pro M1, 2022, I recommend checking out some of the third-party options available. I hope this info helps!
