Question. I am waiting for me new Ipad to be delivered today. I was wondering about the keyboards before I purchased one. I've read several times that if you want to use the Ipad as an Ipad, you have to take it out of the Keyboard case which means that the Ipad would have no protection. In that case, I'd have to purchase another case when must need the ipad without the keyboard. Is this correct? Thanks!

iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi
What did they say?
I have used the magic keyboard on a iPad Pro and you can not use it as a tablet as the keyboard can not be folded back, a lot of tech youtubers say that as well if you watch the videos they will show you.
The iPad Air 4 and iPad Pro 11 inch use the same magic keyboard so it hasn't been changed designed wise.
I have an iPad Air 3, I just use a simple case which I can use as a stand, covers all the sides and back, I do use a Smart Keyboard, but the iPad Air 3 smart keyboard does not cover the back, so I bought a specially designed case which covers the back and sides and can be used with a smart keyboard it was really cheap.
I have used the magic keyboard in the apple store and my friend has one and as I said you can see on the videos on YouTube it can't be folded back. it's either folded down as a case or being used as a keyboard there is no in between
Logitech do cases/keyboard which might offer the support you want, they are really good and apple sells Logitech stuff, so might be worth checking out, but make sure it is compatible with the air 4, it's not all ways the clearest on the Logitech website.
Hope that helps

Sorry, that was my fault, I misread your post.
If you buy the magic keyboard, to use your iPad as an iPad you would have to removed the keyboard and case, meaning you have no protection, unless you buy a second case.
Also it's worth noting that the smart keyboard and magic keyboard do not offer side protection
The apple customer service said the opposite. I specifically asked that question. Hmmm. Thanks for the info about the sides. Didn’t even think about that. Now I’m not sure what to do. Any suggestions? What do you use? Thanks.
Which keyboard did you buy to go with it? The magic keyboard?
You never actually said
I didn’t yet. Was waiting for feedback. There is only two to pick from. The magic and folio. About $100 difference.
Thanks for your advice. I'm going to look at the Logitech site. Enjoy your day and thanks again!!
