GreenLaw Keyboard Case for iPad mini 7 8.3 inch 2024, Magnetic Detachable, Bluetooth Wireless, Silicone+ABS Case, Type-C Rechargeable Keyboard for iPad mini 7/6 8.3 inch, Grey

I have the model designed for the newest iPad Mini, gen 6 at the time of writing, with an 8.3" diagonal. First let's address the baby elephant in the room: this is a tiny keyboard. There's no getting around that, there's only so much anyone can do to build a keyboard into an 8.3" diagonal shell. So don't expect it to magically have the comfort and typing accuracy of an IBM Model M. That being said, I feel this is one of the best keyboard cases available for the iPad mini at the time. The major peripheral brands still don't make a keyboard case for this generation like they did for the previous, and so if you're shopping around right now, you're probably noticing that anything you buy comes with a certain amount of risk. Like the key layouts are weird. Connectivity is unreliable. Where are the apostrophe and quotation mark keys? This keyboard also has issues, but as everyone's mileage may vary, for my needs this case design checks the largest amount of boxes. Let's start with the bad first: * It's a tiny keyboard. I have hands that fit snugly in a men's medium-size glove, and on this keyboard my fingers are very squished at home row. For my job I'm typing 8-9 hours a day and generally average over 100 wpm, on this keyboard I'd be surprised if I'm hitting 30. But this problem is going to be the same on every tiny keyboard, it is the reality of a tiny keyboard. * The apostrophe and quotation keys are hidden behind an Fn modifier. This doesn't take too long to get used to, but it's definitely not ideal. I compared a lot of other keyboard cases though, and believe me this is a far better option than many of the others, some of which need 4 key combinations to use proper punctuation. * The Apple Pencil magnets are weak. I don't think the case actually has additional magnets, it must simply be relying on the magnets inside the iPad. It's good enough to charge the pencil, but the pencil becomes very easy to knock off the case. And here's the good stuff: * The keys are nice and clicky with a mechanical feeling. I don't know if it's actually mechanical, but it feels more like a scissor switch than a rubber dome, so it's fairly pleasant to type on. * Battery life is GREAT. I've had this for a week and leave it on constantly, it hasn't died yet. I expect it has an auto-sleep when the case closes, because it does take a moment to reconnect before the keys do anything. * Connectivity has been perfect, in that, it has never had a problem. Never drops out and I never need to re-pair. * The case itself is very solid and feels safe. I haven't tried any drop tests but it has enough rubber around the corners that I feel confident in its protection. * I like how the keyboard can actually detach from the case. It's a heavy thing otherwise, but disconnecting the keyboard lightens the package up significantly for one-handed/portrait use. * iPad goes to sleep when the case closes. * Camera cut-out doesn't have a flap over it. My last case did, which obviously adds more protection, but was very annoying. * The hinge is stiff but in a very good way, it makes a great stand that feels much more secure than the myriad of fabric cases. * The rubber grippers on the bottom/keyboard side of the case also provide a lot of friction that helps the whole thing work well as a stand. Nothing slides around as you tap on the screen. And for the moment that's about all I can think of. If you can live with the inevitable consequences of shoving a standard QWERTY layout into a very tiny area, I think this is the best option you can presently buy for the iPad Mini 6.

I’m writing this review using the product. It’s a great little keyboard case for the iPad Mini 6, consisting of two parts: a case for the tablet itself and a keyboard into which the table case connects magnetically. That connection is excellent; with a firm tug you can separate the two pieces, but it is unlikely they will come apart accidentally (save a pretty big jolt). The screen can open about 120 degrees, but you can also connect it “backwards” to create a tent-like shape or even just use the tablet with the keyboard connected underneath. Since the connection between the keyboard and the iPad is via Bluetooth, there are no wires to worry about. I’ve enjoyed using the iPad without the keyboard, as the case appears to provide good protection all around the sides and back of the tablet. While there is a bit of a “lip” to prevent the screen from scratching if you place it face-down on a surface, otherwise the case doesn’t cover the screen. However, it works just fine with my screen protector. I also really like that there’s a spot to connect the Apple Pencil magnetically, through the case. It’s strong enough that the Pencil will pair and charge, but its not super-strong; if I toss the iPad in my bag, the Pencil will likely fall off. The keyboard is good, considering the size of the device. No keyboard that fits the form factor of the iPad Mini is going to feel the same as a full-sized keyboard. But the keys travel well and I have had absolutely no problems with the Bluetooth connection to the iPad. They keys are not backlit. The battery life is likely quite good (although I haven’t used it long enough to run out of juice). There were some odd choices made in the keyboard: the question mark is in a different spot and the quotation marks require holding down the Fn to use. As a result, my typing on the keyboard is a bit slower than on a “real” keyboard. But for limited purposes, such as traveling when a smaller and lighter device is preferable, its perfectly useable. Overall, this is a great choice for a keyboard case for the iPad Mini. Especially considering the price (I paid about $50 USD), it is a solid, versatile accessory that has served me very well.

There are Pros & Cons with every product. All in all, if you’re looking for an all in one setup for on the go, this case is durable and protective of your iPad. The keyboard is small, and takes some getting used to, but does the job. I do wish it had a mouse, but with the size, I can’t complain too much as it functions exactly as I need for travel. It’s also detachable. The rubber is pretty thick, which is great for protection, but not so great if you need to travel with your Apple Pencil. I wouldn’t recommend relying on the magnet to hold your Apple Pencil in place. Even though the magnet will pull the Apple Pencil towards the iPad, it won’t actually start charging until you push it down to confirm a solid connection. Once you do that, the connection will keep it charging though. That said, it easily falls off when bumping it, or trying to close the case. If you’re traveling, keep your Apple Pencil somewhere else besides relying on the case to hold it. Are there better keyboards? Absolutely. This is why I love the detachable feature of the keyboard because while at home, I turn the keyboard around to use as a stand and set it off to the side while using a different Bluetooth keyboard & mouse set-up to connect to my iPad, and then use an external hub to connect everything else I need (SSD, Ethernet, etc) to my external monitor. My iPad sits perfectly to the side where it’s out of the way, but also there if I need it. I actually like the fact that the keyboard detaches, and the magnets are so strong. You can disconnect the keyboard and use your iPad as a tablet, and the case looks clean with or without the keyboard attached. This keyboard case is great for at home, or on the go. Would be great for students. Does everything I need it to, and you can’t beat the value for the cost. Bottom line: Could there be improvements? Absolutely, but (in my opinion) you’d be hard pressed to find a better keyboard case (currently) that is so affordable, functional and well worth the money.

This case and keyboard combination is super sturdy and has some features I really like. The battery in the keyboard lasts a very long time, and the keyboard detaches from the case, which is super handy. The keyboard is not backlit, so keep that in mind if you'd like to use it with the lights off. The case for my old iPad had this feature so I thought I might miss it, but I found I rarely want it so not having the back light is just fine. The notch for the on/off button and fingerprint reader may not be big enough if you have large fingers. You can use a sharp knife and slice off the piece of the case which gets in the way. I sometimes have to readjust my finger and it always gets read the second time. The Greenlaw customer service is top notch. They were super responsive to my questions and have made me a satisfied customer. When I needed warranty service they were easy to work with.

I had hoped this would be similar to my favorite case of all time, a Zagg that I had several years ago. But sadly this just doesn't quite live up to that design. I like that the keyboard can be separated completely and that it can be flipped to the other side to use as a tablet but still have the keyboard connected but the case that the iPad is in isn't great - the rubber edge makes it difficult to hold, and there's no good solution for keeping a Pencil in the case. Overall it's a heavy combination with limited functionality because the keys are so small it's hard to type effectively.

I suppose that’s oversimplifying things, but I guess it’s the most important. This little case with keyboard simply does what it’s suppose to do. The keys do need a bit of getting used too, due to their small size and spacing, but overall there’s a nice feel and feedback to them. You’ll definitely need to press a little harder than the Magic Keyboard, but it shouldn’t be a problem for anyone really I also like the detachable protective case for the mini. And although I do have the Apple Pencil, I haven’t had a chance to use it with the case to see how it charges, so I won’t comment there The only thing is that the case with iPad mini weighs a lot. I don’t have a scale, but it feels as heavy as a 12.9 iPad Pro, which is around 3 pounds. Oh, and the other thing is that it makes the iPad mini twice as thick If those two things are a deal breaker for you, then you’ll need to look elsewhere. As for me, I like the keyboard feel and ability to use it like my iPad Pro

According to my Amazon purchase history, I bought this case on November 28, 2022, and remember spending a considerable amount of time selecting one to fit my needs. I read reviews and watched videos from different sources across the internet, as well as ordered other brands to compare. At that time there wasn’t a case I could find that checked every box for what I was seeking. Ultimately I decided to settle on this one, and the two features I recall it lacking were the mouse trackpad and the illuminated keyboard. Once putting this keyboard into action, I found I could work around the missing mouse trackpad, but the absence of illuminated keys was something I looked for many times over. One of the features I loved the most was being able to remove the iPad magnetically with such ease. Well, apparently that magnetic hinge has a shelf life, because after about 6 months of use, it failed; and now when the device is connected, it flops back and forth if there’s any motion, such as when when traveling in the car and using the iPad as a GPS. It was only a matter of time before the space bar stopped working and I had to discontinue using the keyboard. This case is still on my iPad as a protector, and it holds my iPad upright when on a stable surface, but without the space bar, I am forced to use the onscreen keyboard. Most recently, I noticed that the up arrow key is now completely missing. I must note that this iPad is connected to my cellular service, and on the road with me daily, so this case was certainly put through the paces. For the most part I did like it, but at times missed the illuminated keyboard. The battery life was great as I never had it run out of juice. In addition, the keys have a nice feel, are easy to read, and the lettering does not wear off. Where this case lacks is in longevity, and at this price point I expected it to last at least a year. In conclusion, if you expect heavy use, then prepare to get 6 months of life from this case, but on the flip side, if your usage is lighter and you can deal with the keys not being illuminated, then this may be the case for you. If you’ve read this far, then something I said must have captured your attention, so please click the helpful button and let me know. Thank You and have a great day 🤓

This keyboard is remarkable and exactly what I was looking for. My Macbook Air of 5 years recently died, and I can’t afford a new one at the moment. I’m a senior in college writing my honors thesis. I needed a keyboard attachment for my iPad mini so I could still write essays and do research but still take notes on Goodnotes with my Apple pencil. I was looking for something that would function similar to the Magic Keyboard for the iPad Air and Pro, but without the trackpad. The keyboard itself is magnetic- you can detach it just by pulling on it - and it puts your iPad to sleep when you close it, like a laptop. The keyboard is obviously not full size, considering it’s the same size as the iPad mini. But I’m female with relatively small hands, so this isn’t an issue for me. The keyboard does have minor latency issues, and sometimes it’ll register that you’ve hit a key twice, but I can still type decently fast. It doesn’t hold my Apple pencil all that securely, which is a bit of a bummer, but I got a case/sleeve thingy that prevents me from losing it. Battery life is very good (AND it charges with a USB-C, so I can use my usual iPad charger) and the sleep function does a good job at preserving battery life if I forget to turn off the keyboard after use. Connects to bluetooth almost immediately after I turn it on. Obsessed with this product. Absolutely recommend.

I don’t want to admit how much I’ve spent looking for the right keyboard for my iPad mini. I’ve tried many of the ones listed on the “best keyboards for iPad mini” lists. But the others have only left me with buyer's remorse. But the search is over. I read the other helpful Amazon reviews, and, like they said, the keyboard will be smaller. But it’s not been a real issue for me. It takes a little getting used to the different keyboard layout, but it’s a much easier configuration than I’ve experienced on other configurations. But what has impressed me the most is how the keyboard and iPad detach so I can use the iPad flat with my Apple Pencil or magnetically snap the keyboard back together. And closed up, it offers excellent protection for transport. This is a massive bonus over other cases where the keyboard folds and pivots for use with Apple Pencil or for reading. Others commented on concerns with the Apple Pencil holder, but I’ve had no problems. I wouldn’t have said it was more problematic for transporting in a backpack than the apple folio I had. I only wish I had found this one sooner.

Very Good iPad mini keyboard case . Detachable screen is great and easy to connect and is very solid What would make it excellent was if the keys were backlit otherwise great piece of kit for the mini IPAD

Fácil de colocar, no interfiere con la carga del apple pencil, el recorrido de las teclas optimo

For a basic pc user, it's a little quirky to use, but once you get your head around it, it's very good and a compact travel gadget.

En el proceso de envío, el producto fue robado. Fue muy fácil comunicarme con la empresa y fueron muy accesibles para solucionar el problema. Me enviaron otro paquete con envío exprés. El teclado está padrísimo, muy fácil de conectar y usar.
