ESR for iPad Pro 11 Inch Case with Keyboard M5/M4 Multi-Mode Magnetic Stand

I had the iPad Pro 11 M1 and decided to upgrade to the new for 2025, iPad Pro 11 M5. Not only did I have to buy the new Apple Pencil Pro to work with the new iPad, but my keyboard case for the iPad M1 was no longer compatible. I could have bought the new Apple Magic Keyboard, but really? It's over $300. So off to research new Keyboard cases and ESR, a company I trust (I have two ESR Cases for my iPhone 17 Pro Max and every device we own has ESR Armorite Screen Protectors) and this iPad Pro 11 M5 Rebound 360 case was very favorably reviewed. It comes nicely packaged and includes a USB C to USB A cable (though that's the only thing ESR should change as it should be USB C to USB C) with an easy to follow multi-language user guide and warranty card, you can scan to extend the warranty to two years. Setting up the Keyboard Case couldn't be simple. I did charge it out of the box, but it must have had a good charge to begin with as it was fully charged in about 20 minutes. Then press the power button for about 2 seconds to wake the keyboard. To pair it with your iPad, press the FN/Globe key and the B key until you see the Bluttooth blue pairing light flash. Open settings on your iPad > Bluetooth - look for the ESR Keyboard and tap there to pair. Boom, you're all ready to go. While the 11 inch keyboard case doesn't come with dedicated function keys (the 13 inch one does), you still have all the functions you need. Just tap hold the FN/Globe key and look at the number keys, where all the functions can be adjusted, like Volume Up/Down, Screen Brightness, Changing Audio Tracks, Etc. The Keyboard also has 12 RGB backlit key colors you can choose from or the ability to not use any backlit option. The case is very Apple Magic Keyboard-esque in its design. Of notable goodness is you put your iPad in a nice quality protective case and then attach the case with your iPad magnetically to the Keyboard case. The case doesn't take much effort to open and it offers significantly more flexibility in terms of where you can place your iPad. You can for example, raise the iPad higher if you want, which the Apple case can't accommodate. And you can even place the iPad in Portrait orientation, which the Apple case can't accommodate. Do note that if you place your iPad in a higher position, it needs to be on a very stable workspace as it could topple over. This case as mentioned is Bluetooth. I prefer that over the way Apple's case works, which powers the keyboard by three pins on the back of the iPad when attached to their case. The reason I prefer ESR's approach is if your iPad isn't plugged in when using Apple's case, the iPad is using the battery to power the keyboard. If you're out and about, it can drain your battery pretty quickly (and yes, I had an Apple Magic Keyboard). Since the ESR case isn't using power from your iPad to run your Keyboard, there's much less to worry about if you can't get to a power source to plug your iPad in to charge. Finally, ESR provides a magnetic flap to keep your Apple Pencil Pro safely stored on the case when you're not using it or traveling about virtually eliminating any risk of losing your Pencil. All the buttons on the case your iPad is in are clicky and responsive and all they cutouts for speakers and USB C charging port are perfectly aligned. I'm mightily impressed with this ESR Keyboard Case for iPad Pro M5. For less than a THIRD of the cost of the Magic Keyboard, you get a high quality, yet affordable option, which coming from ESR means it will stand the test of time.

Solid build, good fit, strong magnet. Relatively easy setup if you follow instructions. However, the keyboard is a little slow and takes a bit to turn on or wake up after a period of no use. It’s not exactly lightning fast. Backlight is decent. Spot for the pencil is nice and keeps it secure. Overall a great case. The screen doesn’t tilt back as much as I’d like. I’ll still give it five stars because it works well overall.

This is a very nice case. Not as nice as the Apple version but solid. Sometimes the touchpad takes a minute to come back to life but not a huge deal. It has a really soft touch to it and it provides more than ample protection. I would say if $300-$350 for a keyboard case just feels wrong (it definitely should) this is a very close second at less than half the cost. Also the keys themselves are big enough and light up evenly with tons of color options. It’s a win in my book

I just got the iPad M4 11 inch and I was looking for a nice keyboard case that I could detach the iPad from as needed. I liked the idea of the Apple Magic Keyboard but (1) I was NOT paying $350, that’s wild, (2) I didn’t like the fact that there wasn’t a case or some sort of shell for the iPad to be in when detached from the keyboard (for $350 you would think they’d give you something), and (3) there was no way to secure the Apple Pencil (it magnetizes to your iPad but I want to make sure it STAYS there, again for $350 you think there would be something). I looked into other options as well and found some cool options from Typecase which is apparently a pretty popular brand, they even had their own version of the Magic Keyboard at a lower price ($100ish) but it was the same thing with the same things missing. That’s where this beautiful keyboard comes in! I LOVE it! First of all the material is fabulous feels so high quality. It’s like a silicone based materiel that feels buttery smooth and soft. The keyboard is amazing as well and the backlighting is great! The case is a little weighty but it is NOT heavy! This case comes with a shell to go on your iPad that you can use on and off the keyboard. I also really appreciate the fact that the closure is made to further secure the Apple Pencil to the iPad when not in use (I don’t know about you but I’m not willing to lose $129 because I bumped the pencil off of my iPad) I know I could talk about connectivity to the iPad, smoothness of the trackpad, keyboard quality, etc as well but everyone else did a great job talking about all of those things with this great keyboard so I decided to hit why I like this better than that overpriced and under-protective Magic Keybord! 😂 This is everything I wanted in a keyboard and I’m super happy with it! Hope this helps! Ps: sorry I don’t have the iPad in the case at the moment, it’s charging and I really wanted to to get this review up 😂

100% worth it. Price is 100% justified, just keep in mind that if you buy it in white it will get dirty. Battery life has been amazing it’s easy to charge and it brings its own cable. Quality has been great, the material is soft and easy to clean. The backlit has various options and you can reduce the amount of light.

This is a fantastic case! It is easy to use and provides great all-around protection for the iPad. All of the corners of the iPad are well-covered and button access is fully enabled. The Bluetooth pairing is seamless and the trackpad works well. The placement of the iPad in either horizontal or vertical use is effective and easy with a magnetic attachment to the case. The stand is at a fixed angle but the angle works well. The only downsides of this case are: 1) its weight (slightly heavier and thicker than the Apple Magic Keyboard, but 1/3 the price — and the ESR case provides much better iPad protection); and 2) lack of a dedicated storage partition for the Apple Pencil (which is easily knocked off if not being used while the case is open.) This latter challenge is also present on the Apple Magic Keyboard, without a flap to hold the pencil in place while traveling. Overall, this product is a great value. It is a highly functional case, with the biggest problem being the Apple Pencil storage while the case is open. If you don't use the Apple Pencil regularly and do want a great keyboard case, this is one you should purchase.

I really liked this case at first, despite how heavy it is. But after only a week, the delete/backspace key and several other keys began to malfunction like they were constantly depressed. This caused the case to be unusable. I was never rough with it, and it was kept very clean. I reached out to ESR via email, but never received a response. I ultimately splurged on the Apple one, since I needed a keyboard case and was hesitant to buy this one again, but I honestly preferred the design, features and feel of this ESR case. It’s a great case if you don’t end up with a defective one. And I have several other ESR brand products that are fine.

The ESR iPad Pro 11in Rebound Keyboard/Case. It is an ok alternative to Apple's Magic Keyboard, Pros. a. It can hold the iPad in portrait mode Cons. a. Very heavy and thick b. The viewing angle is steeper than Apple's magic keyboard. c. The light that illuminates the keys leaks from below the key making it annoying to use it in the dark. d. Need to hold an extra key to activate the function keys, so you'll need both hands free if you want to change the backlight, volume, etc. e. Does not wake up automatically when you open the iPad, need to press a key or the on/off switch f. Trackpad lags a bit g. You loose another USB-C port, however this did not annoyed as much

La mejor marca, La mejor calidad, La mejor batería, y Mejor que el original y por el mejor precio, a este precio encontrar un te lado para el ipad es imposible, los más baratos tienen imanes que no agarran, e incluso comparándolo con una marca como belkin los imanes son mucho más fuertes y seguros, además, la funda es una adición increíble, poderlo quitar sin tener miedo de resbalar o caer es muy bueno, lo único que me gustaría agregar sería un sujetador para el apple pencil directo en la funda, de ahí en fuera, no tiene competencia, ni el de apple oficial.

Ok I normally don’t review anything on here but I love this case. I would say the only thing people may potentially not like is the weight but I don’t mind it. I like that it doesn’t feel flimsy. It works very well and smooth. I am SO glad I didn’t buy the official Magic Keyboard that is way more expensive. This is checking all the boxes for a quarter of the price. I Would definitely recommend buying this.

O produto é extremamente bem construído, apresenta uma estrutura excelente e, até agora, tem se mostrado muito robusto. No entanto, vale destacar alguns pontos importantes: • Peso: Prepare-se, pois ele é substancialmente pesado — chega a ter o dobro do peso de um iPad Pro de 11”. Se você não se importa com um dispositivo mais espesso e pesado em troca de robustez, não será um problema. • Teclas: A digitação é prazerosa, mas as teclas são pequenas e exigem adaptação. Como alterno entre iMac e PC, sinto uma certa dificuldade inicial ao mudar para ele. Além disso, é necessário configurar os atalhos conforme seu fluxo de trabalho; nada complexo, mas demanda tempo. Se este for seu dispositivo principal, a curva de aprendizado será bem mais rápida. • Estabilidade: O peso ajuda a manter o conjunto firme em superfícies planas, mas exige cautela ao usar no colo, pois pode desequilibrar.

Excelente producto, lo único es que le falta un poco de inclinación pero funciona de maravilla, ampliamente recomendado.

ESR remains my favorite gadget and protective gear brand because they ALWAYS deliver!!! I had the pervious model for this case for the older iPad, it was heavier and some o the keys required too much pressure to type, which slightly annoyed me but the case overall was amazing!!! And why I shared the heaviness, ESR sent me a lighter case at no additional cost, so I could have it to move around with. So customer service…TOP TIER!!!! This case is a massive upgrade! Much lighter than the previous one. Keys..smooth and soft. And on the previous case I didn’t like that the charging port for the iPad when docked, was on the opposite end from the charging port for the keyboard…THEY FIXED THAT!!!!! Absolutely in love with this case!! The only thing I miss is that the previous case had a pencil holder on the latch part of the case, this case does not. It’s not a major thing, but that offered a little extra protection for the pencil when moving about, now the pencil has to stay attached to the case. I’m a little clumsy, so I would have loved that on this design as well. but no biggy, still worth every single penny!!!! Sleek design! You won’t regret it!
