Magic Keyboard

When closed, the new Magic Keyboard provides protection to both the front and back of the iPad Pro.

Can the Magic Keyboard be used as a Case for the IPAD Pro?

Magic Keyboard is not something itself I’d want to drop or ding, nor expect to protect the iPad Pro against hits on the edges and corners.

It makes the iPad Pro much heavier. (~650 g for the iPad Pro 12.9”, and ~1360 g for both.)

I use it akin to a keyboard dock, for which it works very well.

Yes, front and back protection.

There are two types of keyboard.
