Note that the ZUGU case will not work with the Apple Smart Keyboard; this keyboard acts like its own case

I recently purchased the detachable keyboard and its now a laptop i love it

First off the screen is fantastic and so is battery life, with the available keyboard accessory it truly can do a lot of things that were more difficult on my Ipad Air2.

To have a usable keyboard with a more adjustable stand

I also purchased the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil which makes the IPad Pro perfect for school.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Type Cover features physical backlit keys that are 19mm apart for a real keyboard layout, and a 40 per cent larger glass trackpad than previous iterations of the SP4.Apple's Smart Keyboard acts as a case and stand, but it doesn’t come near the plethora of positions / inclinations that the SP4 kickstand can assume

I am very disappointed in Apple for not having the smart keyboards and Apple Pencils available for sale

I also love having a full size keyboard to type on

I use it with a smart keyboard and it makes typing on it a breeze

The official smart keyboard is way too expensive ($170) and I'm not sure it's for me

Failure of Apple to have stock of accessories like the pencil and the smart keyboard.

This iPad is fabulous, but it is NOT the 12.9 in display-it is the 9.7 inch display, which makes the price less competitive, and all of the accessories I purchased with it: screen protector, keyboard, protective case etc etc useless-device works great, its just not exactly what's advertised.

But the onscreen keyboard is good enough that having another keyboard is simply redundant.

One good thing about the Smart Keyboard is that it draws its power through the Smart Connector, and therefore does not require charging separately

Nothing but problems, have had to re-load factory settings because the user ID was faulty, then had to reload again because the volume control disappeared, then again because the keyboard stopped working and an error message kept popping up about the keyboard not working

so I needed a really reliable keyboard, or I would've stayed with the IPad

This is ridiculous because it is more important to have a split keyboard on the iPad pro than the iPad air due to it being larger and more difficult to type on

Along with the iPad Pro Keyboard, JETech® Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Case for Apple iPad Pro 12.9" with Multi-Angle Stand that I also purchased for it, its more like a laptop than just a tablet

I just recently bit the bullet and invested in the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil

My guess, Apple developed the smart keyboards because they knew people would ask, and pay the extra money for them, not because they thought people would need them

Using the built-in keyboard is a challenge if you have short thumbs because you can't split the keyboard unless you run it in zoom mode

I actually think the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil make this iPad the complete package and everyone should have them, but the price makes that hard

The keyboard is nice to type on too, but I wish the keys were backlit.

Additionally, iPad Pro Smart keyboard isn't backlit like Microsoft's and has no trackpad

I've been using my iPad Pro since November with the Pencil and Smart Keyboard.

Also I should mention that I purchased the apple pencil along with this beast of a tablet, as well as the apple keyboard for this machine, and I have to say, they both work very well.

i like the on-screen keyboard so much that I probably won't want the Apple attachable keyboard

I love the Smart Keyboard with

After all the carping online about the limited keyboard shortcuts in iOS (which will obviously change soon), the complaints about how often you need to raise your arm to touch the screen, the limits of multi-tasking on the iPad, and so on, I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I can do on it (or how little I can't) and how easily

Prior generation iPads it felt cramped and not quite right, but this isn't bad at all and makes me not want to spend $170 on the smart keyboard since I don't type that much and this works well enough

Thankfully, the virtual keyboard was enough for me

I did like using the larger keyboard

It is not a computer and it will never be a real computer unless it has the ability to run "normal" laptop software and have I/O capabilities like USB or SD card slots

Works as you'd expect

It works as it should I guess, bought it as a gift.

I wanted a larger screen for viewing movies when traveling, as well as to have more of a book feel when reading ebooks (two pages side-by-side).
