SwitchEasy CoverBuddy Lite for 2024 & 2025 iPad Air 13" - Case Compatible with Magic Keyboard for iPad Air (M2/M3), with Apple Pencil Pro Pencil Holder - Black

Must have for iPad when you are using the Magic Keyboard it provides stability and a place to secure your Apple Pencil

This is one of the few options out there, and I want to like it, but too often, I looked in my bag, and the case was open, with the iPad and keyboard awake. This case is thick enough to push the magic keyboard to open and stay open when not used. Compared to a different case I tried, or no case at all, it is also thick enough to weaken the magnetic attachment to the magic keyboard. I used two fingers to pull my iPad off, and it fell off the magic keyboard before I could catch it. Does it work? Yes, and it comes with a cost. You have to be very careful to keep it closed when not in use and the ipad is no longer tightly attached to the magic keyboard. For those two reasons, it's going back. The idea is great....but not great enough to use with an expensive piece of tech like the ipad pro m4.

When I got my new iPad Air 11, I needed something to protect it. It fits well and works with the magic keyboard. However, it seems a little flimsy compared to others I've used in the past. Other reviews mentioned issues of fitting when the keyboard closes. I haven't noticed any such problem.

Good but not high quality

Let me start by saying that since this is the only option available now, I went with it. It does cover the sides and all and connects to the MK. However, all is not perfect in the world of MK friendly cases. The case seems to be too thick and the magic keyboard would not close 100% meaning it would stay a little bit open if you let the ipad pro down with the keyboard side on top. This is more apparent if you stand the ipad with the MK on the MK’s hinge. There are also times when the MG is not making proper connections to the pins on the back and causing it to not respond. ****ALSO, BUYER BEWARE, I am not sure if it was intentional but if you buy the Coverbuddy which is more expensive of the two or the coverbuddy LITE which is significantly cheaper, they will still ship you the cover buddy lite. *** I hope it was just a mistake on their shipping the wrong item to me, I will update when I recieve the replacement. So, overall, if there was a different option like the MOFT or the Spigen, I would definitely go with them when it comes out in the future).

The media could not be loaded. I’m trying to put on the case and cover the keyboard, but I can’t close it, possibly due to some interference.

I like the ability to keep the pen secured and charged without fear of it being knocked off and lost. A friend recommended this. Sturdy and doesn’t add much weight or make it bulky. Still allows charging and the ability to disconnect the iPad and still feel like it is protected a little. The shipping time was horrible with several delays so looking for another source may be advisable. Product is 4.5 Stars …. Shipping is 2 Stars

I really like it. Although I disk like that it feels like it’s flimsy and will not protect my iPad it it happens to fall
