So I weighed up the idea of a MacBook Pro or an iPad Pro, it seemed I could do more with the iPad (designing and running my car and apparel brand) and was looking for a good quality case that would allow me to work anywhere but also allow me the freedom of being able to make the iPad a handheld device without taking it out of the case. YouTube recommended this ESR laptop style case and I was sold. Upon receiving it, the first impressions was that it is quite heavy, but that’s not a bad thing as it stays solid on a desk or table and means that it’s not bouncing around constantly. The trackpad is similar to my old MacBook Air with that smooth glassy feel, but is also easily clickable. I prefer to tap the trackpad to select rather than press down so changed this in the iPad settings and it works a dream, Battery life seems relatively good as I’ve only charged it once and while using the backlit keyboard and its held up pretty well. The idea also of the flap to hold the Apple Pencil is well thought out, and the magnets are strong enough to hold the iPad in place either landscape or portrait. Having it at an angle facing up at you means it is easy to draw with which is perfect for when you can’t rest on something. One thing I would suggest is being able to buy separate case backs from ESR as sometimes I don’t need the keyboard and just want to keep my setup light. Being able to lift the iPad off and put it straight onto another case( ie a folio case) would mean it would be modular and suited to any use. I think for the price this is a great product if your looking for a better value apple keyboard for the iPad Pro 13 inch
