Arteck iPad Mini A17 Pro (8.3-inch) Keyboard Case, Bluetooth Keyboard with Protection Shockproof Case for Apple 8.3-inch iPad Mini A17 Pro and Mini 6

Best iPad mini case ever. I needed a case that could do a bit of everything for work. It is so easy to use just pair with Bluetooth and type away, I didn’t even know you can separate the keyboard from the case until my girlfriend told me, that’s how strong the magnet i. It’s great it looks sleek. Very durable dropped it multiple times no with no major damage. And the keyboard size is perfect just what I was looking for a case that does everything. 100% recommend!

This is exactly what I was hoping for. I've owned 4-5 different keyboard/protector cases for different iPad Minis, this unit is the sweet spot. Attractively priced, well put together device that works without glitches and has nothing extraneous. Extra bonus that the iPad unit can separate from the keyboard when needed. Initially worried about the lack of a backlight, I have not had any trouble finding the keys in low light, more-or-less where I expect them to be - unlike other models whose keyboard configurations are too small, cramped, or diminished by the frustratingly redundant inclusion of a trackpad - Well done.

Good stuff:Overall a great a product for the price! Tons of features and functionality in this little case. Typing experience is probably as good as you’re going to get in such as small form factor (There’s a reason Apple doesn’t make one of these themselves). The case for the iPad is very nice, and though I haven’t dropped it yet, I feel that it’s well protected. The keyboard is good for it’s size, you’ll need to adjust from a full size or even a small keyboard but typing is fairly smooth on it (typing this review on the keyboard). Built in function keys are nice, media controls are mostly what I use.The Bad:Back to the function keys, I do think some could have been use for other things that aren’t easily accomplished with anther keyboard shortcut, e.g going home with cmd + h or opening spotlight with cmd + space. One of those could have been used to get to the app switcher, and since there is no actual function key, just the function key for the keyboard (this is different than a “real” function key) which is used for the extra commands I actually reassigned caps lock to be the function key so I could still use those keyboard shortcuts.My other issues with this keyboard are, first the hinge mechanism, which other reviews mention being hard to open and getting easier after some use, this appears to be fairly accurate. In my case though, it has become too loose for my liking after only a couple months of occasional use. Now, when closed, it’s no longer tightly closed but flops back and forth, enough so that if I hold it up by the iPad section, the keyboard will sag down about half an inch. This wasn’t like this when I first got it and I’m a bit disappointed in it.Next is the Apple Pencil groove, it’s nice, but it really does make the attachment weaker and my Apple Pencil has been bumped off a couple times from minor things which just wouldn’t happen if it was directly connected to the iPad. While I’m not a fan of the extra slot that other cases have, I think a deeper groove with less material would allow a better connection.lastly, I would love some more color options.Overall this is a solid product and for the price, it’s hard to complain about the shortcomings, though maybe in a new version they can address some of these issues.

Wasn’t expecting much from a $26 keyboard case but I’m actually blown away by the quality and value you’re getting here. The upper portion of the case that holds the iPad mini itself offers great protection and is thin and lightweight on its own. The bottom portion of the case, the keyboard, can be attached and can be set up in a laptop position or a tablet stand position. The keyboard battery seems to be very good and I haven’t had to charge it yet. The materials used are also very high quality, punching high above its price tag. The case also allows pen charging and the hinge used is very firm, almost too much as it can take a lot of effort to open and close the lid at times. As for the keyboard itself, the keys are very responsive and offer a lot of key travel, much more than initially thought. The keys are obviously very cramped given the small size of the iPad mini, but that is to be expected, and the layout they went with actually is pretty comfortable for what it is. You will misspell sometimes, but for a lightweight on the go keyboard, this is actually a fantastic case. If you’re looking for a keyboard for your iPad mini, this is an amazing option and I cannot recommend this enough.I typed this up on the keyboard and it felt great.

In past travels to multiple continents this form factor has proven to be the most sturdy and usable option out there for the traveler. When I had to replace my Mini 4 and its Zagg case this year I despaired of finding a suitable replacement. This is unbelievably even better than the Zagg case. My favorite feature is the magnetic tabs attaching the tablet frame to the keyboard, enabling use as a handheld tablet while protecting the keyboard from potential damage without the need for a fragile swivel hinge such as used by competing products.The only real complaint I have is that the keyboard mapping is not completely Apple-compatible, the most irritating difference being the mapping of []’”{} as function keys, making touch typing difficult, especially for the commonly used apostrophe. The mapping to ‘ to fn-L is annoying and doesn’t get better over time,I’m pretty sure the keyboard doesn’t open all the way to 130 degrees, but that’s not a show-stopper.I look forward to future implementations of this design.
