Check out Paperlike: paperlike.com/canoopsy8 Also thanks for waiting for this video! Wanted to spend a while really using the keyboard to find its strengths & weaknesses. Enjoy!
Canoops: "Today's video is brought to you by--" Me: I KNOOOOOOW, THEY ALL ARE, EVERY SINGLE IPAD VIDEO.... Paperlike is the Raid: Shadow Legends for iPad videos :D
When people put "the truth" in their titles, it makes me feel like they must be lying in their other videos when they don't declare they're telling the truth. Why do this?
The fact that it doesn't flip behind the tablet is a huge deal breaker for a lot of people. Taking it out of the case defeats the purpose of it being a case in the first place. I'm glad they didn't discontinue the smart folio because you are right; they are two products for different situations.
Finally, someone actually says negative things about the magic keyboard with some real life use. Mine arrives today and I'm going to give it a few weeks. If it doesn't pan out, it is going back and I'll get the folio keyboard. The built in trackpad is the game changer.
@@chris Mind if i ask for your opinion? How do you feel it compared to laptop? I wanna buy one for office work (sheets,docs, slides), you think it will be good?
Really good analysis! You picked up on the wear factor better than any other reviewer I know of. Also, you made a good case (excuse the pun) for the smart keyboard even with the magic available. You pointed out that the smart keyboard is impervious to spills, which the magic keyboard is not. The two big factors you missed are weight and thickness, with the magic keyboard being much heavier and thicker. Add the magic keyboard to an iPad Pro and the weight is as much or more than a MacBook Air or an ultrabook. So portability is much reduced. In summary, I think that Apple's smart keyboard is smarter than we give it credit for.
You are the first reviewer to point out the esthetic low points of the magic keyboard, so thank you. For me, I do not plan on buying this case now not just because of that point but because of what other reviewers have pointed out. To me for the price, the versatility just is not there like you get with the smart folio case. Because if you wan the trackpad experience, you can just buy a trackpad but make sure you buy the trackpad 2. Also, by buying the trackpad 2 than going with the Magic two in one, is you get a bigger trackpad which comes in real handy if you are needing to use to create or any type of development. Also, if you are not satisfied with typing style found on the smart folio, you can just go with a different Bluetooth keyboard paring or different case. Because with the trackpad and for instance the Logitech folio keyboard case provides a great typing experience and paired with the trackpad 2 you still come out cheaper than the magic keyboard. Sorry if I recreated myself, but its late :) So to add to my review, actually my opinion. I ended up breaking down and buying the 12.9 inch Magic Keyboard case. I finally gave in since every reviewer had been raving about the typing experience of the case, and the preciseness of the trackpad and how it’s transformed the way people have been using their iPad. I will say, the typing experience is by far the best compared to all the typing keyboards I have used with my iPad Pro. This is comparing my experience with the Logitech Folio Keyboard case, Apple Folio Keyboard case, and then the Logitech Go Keyboard. The typing was the best on the Logitech Keyboards, and offered the most functionality, but they were just not very convenient to use. Now, the Magic Keyboard case is not functional unless you know the shortcuts, which I know some of them. However, their are no dedicated function keys like the previous Logitech options I mentioned. What I love about the Apple Magic Keyboard, is the TrackPad, and typing experience of the keyboard. I also like the build construction as its very sturdy but not very resistant to scratches or scuffs, but then neither was the original Folio keyboard case by Apple. The viewing angles are nice, and I do agree with other reviewers, that I wish it was a little bit more flexible, but the angles work for me, And I like now that I can lay down on my coach and have my iPad resting on my chest and still be able to use my iPad. I also like, that since the iPad floats and their are no moving parts in the keyboard portion, you can use the iPad on your lap and not worry about being uncomfortable from the heat of the iPad. I mean that applies more so to laptops, but its still nice. If you want a true Laptop experience using your iPad, I would recommend this case.
Awesome video. I ended up ordering a magic keyboard for my 12.9” iPad Pro but will wait to try it. Before making final decision. The ease of the Smart Keyboard Folio especially for someone that draws and fold it around completely won’t be there with the magic keyboard unfortunately.
Honestly I love it! I have the 11 inch and I’m soo happy i got this.... Yes there’s a few small flaws, but for me the pros DEFINITELY out-weigh the cons!!! This is a game changer in my opinion. Two things are about to happen, 1. Apps exclusively for Mac will soon come to iPad 2. With all the user feedback, the next keyboard is going to be absolutely amazing! I have the 11inch for portability, but in a year I’ll definitely get a 12.9 inch because by then the iPad Pro will be the new next laptop
I'm still debating on buying one, two months later. I really want it for the floating display, but the price is a lot especially since buying the AirPods Pro recently. I'll wait until after WWDC to see if Apple releases any new products.
I got the Magic Keyboard Case for my 2018 iPad Pro 11" 2 days ago in the mail. I'm gonna try it for 14 days and return it. I'll live life without it until it goes on sale or something. This will give me the chance to really think about whether or not I actually need it for what I do with my iPad. So far I love it. I don't wear a case on any of my devises any way so I love the flexibility that it provides to use it like a laptop computer, but then to be able to grab the iPad off and use it as a fully featured tablet. I edited an entire video, starting off using mostly just the keyboard and trackpad, but then about halfway through I grabbed the iPad off of the Keyboard, left my dest and finished editing in LumaFusion with the Pencil.
Typing this on the magic keyboard and it is AMAZING! Totally worth the money, and every time I use it, I know that it’s business. So in short if you bought the iPad as an entertainment device, skip this. BUT if you see yourself getting some kind of work done on the iPad, the Magic Keyboard is a must.
Oh, I bought it. I bought it so early that the web site was not really working but I persisted and had registered my order within 15 minutes after the hour. I am very pleased with the keyboard, the trackpad, the backlighting, and the integration with iOS 13.4. I use a lap desk most of the time but i have tried it in my lap and that works well too. Incidentally, I just bought PaperLike on your recommendation. The site does not support Apple Pay but the use of PayPal is so slick that the purchase was '"frictionless." I will amend this entry when I have had a chance to try it out. There have been lots of reviews of the Magic Keyboard on TH-cam. I found yours to be the most helpful.
My iPad Pro 12.9 should be here next week. Skipped out on spending that kind of money for the keyboard. My question for you is, how do you get your folder icons just above the dock? Are you jailbroken or is that something that iPadOS now offers? Good video
Been waiting for this review! Only one I can trust. I’m definitely switching to the magic keyboard because my iPad is my main “laptop”. But I am going to be crying when hitting that buy button for sure. But it’ll make a lot of sense for me. Thanks bro. Also, for anyone who uses their iPad as their primary “laptop”, I recommend just grabbing one of those cheap cases from amazon for those times when you want to write, draw or color. Especially if you are worried you could damage your iPad while it’s out of the keyboard case. I know for me, even using the Smart Keyboard right now, it always felt weird holding it in my hand when I wanted to write, color or draw. I would end up pressing the keys on the keyboard and although nothing happens, it is just the weirdest feeling lol.
The main reasons I’m replacing my Smart Keyboard Folio with the Magic Keyboard are 1) it’s backlit, and 2) the keyboard is much better and less mushy, and 3) my current keyboard stopped working. I’ve had my Smart Keyboard Folio since December 2018. 1 1/2 years later, it’s time for a replacement.
Your statement about this keyboard working with the 2018 iPad Pro is gold! That comment right there is what drives you-tubers like you; ahead of the curve! Good job 👍
I really like the floating style that the case brings to the iPad, it seems like an improvement to lift the iPad from the ground/desk and move it closer towards the eyes.
So a re-vision to my original thoughts about the Magic Keyboard case. I have owned the accessory since it was released to the public. When I first bought it, I ended up taking it back because I could not justify the price because it wasn’t making my current productivity on the iPad Pro. After taking it back, I ended up trying to find alternatives that could offer the same experience in typing and look. Answer, I could not find an alternative that I liked, not even the Brydge Pro + keyboard. The BP+ case, felt like a product that was “almost there”, and the look of it just looks foreign when connected to the iPad Pro. Yes the BP+ does make the iPad Pro look more laptopish, but just not clean enough for me. So a week later I went back to the Magic Keyboard. Since my iPad Pro is my primary personal computer, i need my iPad to function both as an iPad and computer and the best way to do that is by having reliable accessories for your iPad Pro. Great video as always.
I love my magic keyboard, but like Apple tends to do I think they over engineered it causing it to have more of a form over function feel. Instead of a floating design they could’ve just put a hinge on the back covering to mitigate the problem with rocking as well as the problem with a lack of angles.
I’ve seriously watched like a ton of videos of the iPad pro 2020 bcz i plan to buy one, but seriously i keep waiting for your videos because you make perfect sense.. thank you so much! Keep up the good work!
Between the Magic Keyboard and the folio... is a tough one... The magic keyboard is great IF you want to use your iPad as a laptop 90% of the time and preferably at a desk, but this sort of makes it a bit redundant... and here’s the reasons: 1. Firstly, the price... for what it costs for an iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard to use it 90% of the time as a laptop, you might as well just get a MacBook, as it’s cheaper, lighter and uses far better materials plus you get the fully featured benefits of MacOS. 2. The trackpad, yeah it’s great don’t get me wrong and does change the way you use your iPad (but not really in a good way) as the touch screen and the touch based OS is like a giant trackpad already... the tiny trackpad on the magic keyboard is quite limiting vs just using the touch screen as intended, seems like a bit of an awkward back step for the iPad. 3. No tablet mode with the Magic Keyboard, means if you want to keep your iPad protected whilst using it as intended ‘a tablet’ you need an additional case of some sort. I just think Apple haven’t really nailed it with the Magic Keyboard and for the price it has quite a lot trade off’s, it seems as though this was a beta product which they felt was good enough to release as a 1st Gen product... but I would like to see a combination of the magic and folio in the future, ideally a magic keyboard folio which has the same keyboard as the magic keyboard, a track pad but has the ability to use it in a tablet mode.
Hey man. Great video. I love the look of your videos. Could you please tell me how you arrange the apps/folders at the bottom on the screen? I can’t find anything on it anywhere.
Nice review man. I really enjoy your simple and concise style, while relating the product to daily use. No wonder why your channel is growing at such a fast rate.
Great and honest review~! I have to agree that material build quality is lacking. I would expect more for either Smart or Magic cases to last at least a few years before seeing excessive wear. I had my Smart Keyboard for only 6 months and it looks like I've had it for years with the amount of wear on it. I was hoping the new Magic Keyboard would have improved that, but based on your review it hasn't especially for the much larger price tag. :( I do a lot more typing than drawing so I am contemplating on upgrading, but it hurts my pocket to do so for the material build quality. So I'm on the fence.....Plus I do like having the ability to flip it back when I use tablet mode on the Smart Keybaord. I like the Surface Pro keyboard design but not the functionality of the trackpad, nor the windows operating system that also lacks apps when using tablet mode.
I totally disagree with you about the Magic Keyboard cover , I had mine for the 12.9 iPad Pro 2020. Got it the same day the iPad came out or maybe a week apart. The cover is great!! You must be dragging yours behind your car. Where ever i go the iPad Pro goes with me. I use it a lot too. It does show little marks, but with a cotton cloth dipped in water rubs it away. Like it was never there. EXCELLENT PURCHASE!
first review I've seen mentioning how annoying it is to have to pull the ipad off the keyboard in order to draw. That's a deal breaker to me. Defeats the purpose of the ipad for me.
I love the honesty with your review. The only video I’ve really seen so far that talks about the negatives of this keyboard. Thanks for saving me money lol
Add up the cost of both the iPad Pro and the new Magic Keyboard. Now connect it either through hardwire or screen mirroring to an external 16:9 screen or projector. That 4:3 aspect display seems to let the air out of the “Pro” balloon and just may be the most expensive combo that doesn’t support native, os level 16:9 aspect external display. And while this may be ok small businesses that really have no need for conference room presentations, it can be a show stopper for most corporate “ Pro” customers.
Love your videos man, helped me decide on the 11” iPad Pro and never look back! I have a question though - where did you find the wallpaper on your iPad for this video? Even reddit is having trouble finding it! Appreciate the help :)
Hey man! been few months since you have had this setup, any update and new thoughts on it? New drawbacks that you discovered? Would love to hear your thoughts!
Has anybody experienced lag/slow response while typing using this magic keyboard? Mine is driving me nuts on iPad Pro 11”, the response is extremely slow on latest iOS and didn’t find any useful solution. We tried the keyboard on another iPad and found it working great, any thought of what might be wrong?
The pitfalls of this case you mention, are the same pitfalls I have mentioned in other videos. I, however, received negative feedback towards them, but you proved them to be true in your video. this case is not productive as a note-taking device, nor to be used in any other orientation unless you detach the device from the case. I like the added port, but for me the moment I plug in a dongle I am set. What I don’t understand is, why couldn’t they have just done a clamshell design, but attach the iPad as shown, but instead of it stopping partway and allowing the iPad to float, why not or why couldn’t apple have created a hinge that would have allowed you to use the iPad as a laptop without floating and allow the hinge to go back even further so you could use the iPad in Media mode to watch movies and take handwritten notes or drawing. I wish I knew enough on how to make a 3D render of what I was talking about. UPDATE: I ended up buying the Smart Keyboard Magic case for my iPad Pro even though it has its drawbacks, I wanted to first-hand experience for myself those drawbacks to establishing my own opinion. After a few weeks with the case, I have determined that the case offers the best typing experience for your iPad Pro. Also, in my opinion, the case offers the best laptop experience for iPad Pro. The case is very sturdy and the magnets are a lot stronger than what is offered on the original folio keyboard for the iPad Pro 2018. Who I would recommend this keyboard case for is someone who is going to be stationary with their iPad Pro. Someone who is wanting a laptop experience with their iPad Pro. This case is especially for someone who plans on using their iPad for word processing and typing out notes. It's nice that Apple made it easy for you to remove your iPad from the case when you want to use it as a tablet. I tried to do that with the original folio case but I did not find it as convenient as the new Magic case. The case is overpriced to me, but what are you going to do :)
Hey bud! Love the video! Im switching to an iPad as my main computer....just wanted to know....if i use the regular smart keyboard folio on the 11inch and I’m travelling with the ipad in my backpack....is it enough protection....wrt issues ive seen online about bending
2:40: "You can pretty much open it up with one Hand" *Shows himself having to use two hands.* Also a short Question. Why does an iPad need a Trackpad ? Edit: Ok the Trackpad question is kind of dumb. I didn't know, that iPadOS 13.4 added proper support for such a thing.
I don’t have the same issue with charging through the case usb c port. Maybe it’s a brand thing. I’m using 3rd party Anker cable and ac adapter. It’s slow, but it works.
When I got it, I was so worried about the weight! I immediately noticed that it’s heavier than my iPad itself, but what do you know, after one day of use I didn’t even notice the weight anymore. It’s really good, I love it. Super pricey though.
Kai Wong That’s absolutely true, I didn’t expect it to be super lightweight either. :) I was just unsure of how heavy they would really make it, but after a few weeks of use I can confirm that they found a very good balance, I love the Magic Keyboard. :)
Amazing video again, Isaac. I believe I will now pull the trigger on the previous iPad Pro (refurbished) model with the Apple Pencil & Smart Keyboard. Don't really need much of an amazing typing experience on iPad since I have my MackBook Pro for all that. Just wanted to share my thoughts. Anyways, keep up the great work!
Regarding PaperLike, I never write and or draw on my iPad; would I be okay with a regular screen protector. For my 12.9 iPad Pro which screen protector would you recommend?
I have done a quick experiment to test the charging speed of the pass through port on the Magic Keyboard. If you want to find out more, please check out the following : th-cam.com/video/aLRQyfZJ8U4/w-d-xo.html
Check out Paperlike: paperlike.com/canoopsy8
Also thanks for waiting for this video! Wanted to spend a while really using the keyboard to find its strengths & weaknesses. Enjoy!
I love it when these youtube clowns shill Paperlike when it's clearly not even installed on his iPad in the rest of the video LMFAO
i got it for my birthday
This was a great review. Thanks! I ordered one and really enjoy it:)
Is it possible to use the paperlike screen protector on an already installed tempered glass screen protector?
I'm starting to think that without Paperlike, iPad Pro TH-cam videos wouldn't exist.
M Behring most iPad Pro videos are sponsored by them. They are advertising the life out if their screen protector
IKR
Canoops: "Today's video is brought to you by--"
Me: I KNOOOOOOW, THEY ALL ARE, EVERY SINGLE IPAD VIDEO.... Paperlike is the Raid: Shadow Legends for iPad videos :D
Hahahaha fucking true
Double taps screen lol
And I’m still not going to get a paperlike screen protector!!! Lmao!
I’m sick and tired of hearing about it.
I’ve heard the customer support is dogshit. I’m not even remotely surprised.
When people put "the truth" in their titles, it makes me feel like they must be lying in their other videos when they don't declare they're telling the truth. Why do this?
I think it’s suggesting It’s the “truth” in comparison to other reviews I’m guessing
yeah, everytime I watch something and some other channel would put "the truth" in their title and I'm like "Those videos I watched before were lies?"
I think it just alludes to the idea that the product won’t be that good and it will have some flaws. Creates suspense
Even better: the true truth
Clickbait
The fact that it doesn't flip behind the tablet is a huge deal breaker for a lot of people. Taking it out of the case defeats the purpose of it being a case in the first place. I'm glad they didn't discontinue the smart folio because you are right; they are two products for different situations.
Bro I literally come to your channel for decision making (especially when it comes to Apple) 😂
I'm honoured to hear that!!
Facts!!!
Finally, someone actually says negative things about the magic keyboard with some real life use. Mine arrives today and I'm going to give it a few weeks. If it doesn't pan out, it is going back and I'll get the folio keyboard. The built in trackpad is the game changer.
any update man?
christ n I kept it!
@@chris Mind if i ask for your opinion? How do you feel it compared to laptop? I wanna buy one for office work (sheets,docs, slides), you think it will be good?
christ n it depends on what your needs are. A laptop can do a lot more than a tablet can.
@@chris for the purpose of making docs, slides and sheets would it suffice?
"The angle here is basically perfect... would of been nice to go back a little bit further" So it's not perfect?
The key word is BASICALLY perfect 👌
Really good analysis! You picked up on the wear factor better than any other reviewer I know of. Also, you made a good case (excuse the pun) for the smart keyboard even with the magic available.

I’ve never seen an avocado as a prop for a tech video, but I’m digging the vibe 😎
Holy shit Paperlike is relentless with their sponsorships
Awesome video. I ended up ordering a magic keyboard for my 12.9” iPad Pro but will wait to try it. Before making final decision. The ease of the Smart Keyboard Folio especially for someone that draws and fold it around completely won’t be there with the magic keyboard unfortunately.

That’s it. Was waiting for this video. This is the day. Decision has been made. Bought.
Ever since u posted bout the magic keyboard, that’s all I’ve been waiting for, there’s nothing like a Canoopsy review
Adithya Shetty u need mkbhd
Daniel Pereira The whole world knows about MKBHD, but Canoopsy is a rare gem.
Canoopsy: I can open it up with basically one hand
Also Cannopsy: Uses 2 hands to open it
😂😂😂
Also he is the first person to say that he „can“ open it with one hand.. every other review is like: „sadly you can only open this with two hands“
I'm still debating on buying one, two months later. I really want it for the floating display, but the price is a lot especially since buying the AirPods Pro recently. I'll wait until after WWDC to see if Apple releases any new products.
I love apple products but, that price. Absolutely not. It is just ridiculous.
Jason Gibson it’s the price of a Mac Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and another Magic Keyboard combined. At least the 12.9.
How do you put the apps at the bottom of the screen ( not in the dock) and also wallpaper link? Thank you
CryptoJack empty folders?!
I got the Magic Keyboard Case for my 2018 iPad Pro 11" 2 days ago in the mail. I'm gonna try it for 14 days and return it. I'll live life without it until it goes on sale or something. This will give me the chance to really think about whether or not I actually need it for what I do with my iPad.

YES I said the same thing about the Mac cursor feeling like something from 1992 after you use the iPad for a while. THE FUTURE.

Your statement about this keyboard working with the 2018 iPad Pro is gold! That comment right there is what drives you-tubers like you; ahead of the curve! Good job 👍
I have the 11" version as well. The trackpad is too small. Wish I got the 12" iPad + KB.
👌
I really like the floating style that the case brings to the iPad, it seems like an improvement to lift the iPad from the ground/desk and move it closer towards the eyes.
Definitely! Impressed with the height it gives to the iPad
Great review! Using mine as I type 👍
One thing how do you get your folders just above your dock?
Wondering the same thing exactly! 🤔
search for iEmpty on google/youtube, that is the “tool”, it makes for you pinnable icons based on your wallpaper
So a re-vision to my original thoughts about the Magic Keyboard case. I have owned the accessory since it was released to the public.

Agreed, now I think Microsoft surface makes the best tablet at very beginning
Will the paperlike protect my screen from scratches like a screen protector?
Yes
Love ur videos nice review
3rd party chargers not working through the case is a great point to mention. Saved me some frustration.
I’ve seriously watched like a ton of videos of the iPad pro 2020 bcz i plan to buy one, but seriously i keep waiting for your videos because you make perfect sense.. thank you so much! Keep up the good work!
I’m sorry but I really like you’re intro “ hi everyone canoopsy here” with the voice so relaxing 😌
That wallpaper is amazing
How have you managed to get all of your apps on the bottom of your iPad screen and not covering the whole screen ?! Great review by the way 😀
Richard Moore i guess its a picture and not actual folders...
I purchaed one and LOVE it! Absolutely NO complaints!
Officially, you're one of my favorite TH-camrs out here!
Between the Magic Keyboard and the folio... is a tough one...
The magic keyboard is great IF you want to use your iPad as a laptop 90% of the time and preferably at a desk, but this sort of makes it a bit redundant... and here’s the reasons:
1. Firstly, the price... for what it costs for an iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard to use it 90% of the time as a laptop, you might as well just get a MacBook, as it’s cheaper, lighter and uses far better materials plus you get the fully featured benefits of MacOS.
2. The trackpad, yeah it’s great don’t get me wrong and does change the way you use your iPad (but not really in a good way) as the touch screen and the touch based OS is like a giant trackpad already... the tiny trackpad on the magic keyboard is quite limiting vs just using the touch screen as intended, seems like a bit of an awkward back step for the iPad.
3. No tablet mode with the Magic Keyboard, means if you want to keep your iPad protected whilst using it as intended ‘a tablet’ you need an additional case of some sort.
I just think Apple haven’t really nailed it with the Magic Keyboard and for the price it has quite a lot trade off’s, it seems as though this was a beta product which they felt was good enough to release as a 1st Gen product... but I would like to see a combination of the magic and folio in the future, ideally a magic keyboard folio which has the same keyboard as the magic keyboard, a track pad but has the ability to use it in a tablet mode.
Hey man. Great video. I love the look of your videos.
Could you please tell me how you arrange the apps/folders at the bottom on the screen? I can’t find anything on it anywhere.
finally a reviewer saying some bad/honest review every product has cons
I’ve been wanting to upgrade my 2016 iPad Pro 9.7. Thanks Canoops... you sold me on this product combo 👍🏼
I have been using my Smart Keyboard since release in 2018 and it’s perfectly fine so maybe yours is different?
Main work on MBP 2018, iPad Pro 10.5 just for TH-cam and photo editing. Hope this will be my next iPad combo
Your actual combo is better!
Ended up with the Folio keyboard and bring the Magic Mouse for on the go. I do miss the trackpad with spreadsheets.
Got a link to the wallpaper? :) Also, nice video
Nice review man. I really enjoy your simple and concise style, while relating the product to daily use. No wonder why your channel is growing at such a fast rate.
Thank you! That is so kind of you.
Great and honest review~! I have to agree that material build quality is lacking. I would expect more for either Smart or Magic cases to last at least a few years before seeing excessive wear. I had my Smart Keyboard for only 6 months and it looks like I've had it for years with the amount of wear on it. I was hoping the new Magic Keyboard would have improved that, but based on your review it hasn't especially for the much larger price tag. :( I do a lot more typing than drawing so I am contemplating on upgrading, but it hurts my pocket to do so for the material build quality. So I'm on the fence.....Plus I do like having the ability to flip it back when I use tablet mode on the Smart Keybaord. I like the Surface Pro keyboard design but not the functionality of the trackpad, nor the windows operating system that also lacks apps when using tablet mode.
I want to know how could you make those folders at the bottom of the screen. And I want your wallpaper lol
I totally disagree with you about the Magic Keyboard cover , I had mine for the 12.9 iPad Pro 2020. Got it the same day the iPad came out or maybe a week apart. The cover is great!! You must be dragging yours behind your car. Where ever i go the iPad Pro goes with me. I use it a lot too. It does show little marks, but with a cotton cloth dipped in water rubs it away. Like it was never there. EXCELLENT PURCHASE!
first review I've seen mentioning how annoying it is to have to pull the ipad off the keyboard in order to draw. That's a deal breaker to me. Defeats the purpose of the ipad for me.
I live in a car.
You deserve at the very least 1 mil subs man. Your videos are so clean. And the microphone you use sounds great lol always noticed that.
I love the honesty with your review. The only video I’ve really seen so far that talks about the negatives of this keyboard. Thanks for saving me money lol
Thanks for addressing the longterm problem with the case material! You are the ONLY one, pointing it out. Beautifully reviewed and edited 😃👍🏽
My first gen Smart Keyboard looks like trash after 2 years! Shame it'll be the same with this one
Canoopsy any tips for cleaning it? My first iPad is on its way along with the magic keyboard and I’d love any tips on how to keep it somewhat clean.
Which one do you suggest magic keyboard or logitech one let me know thanks regards rushad 👍🏻
How did you make your home screen look like that I love it
I may just make a video on it! :)
Canoopsy This is a chance to say that I really enjoy and trust your reviews, keep up the great work!
Thank you!!!
I’d really like to know how you make icons/folders to be only at the last row! (Above the dock) 🤯
I was waiting for this for so long!
You're ipad content is the best! 🔥
Imagine they had a Touch Bar that would be sick!
I'd settle for function keys! Lol
Add up the cost of both the iPad Pro and the new Magic Keyboard. Now connect it either through hardwire or screen mirroring to an external 16:9 screen or projector. That 4:3 aspect display seems to let the air out of the “Pro” balloon and just may be the most expensive combo that doesn’t support native, os level 16:9 aspect external display. And while this may be ok small businesses that really have no need for conference room presentations, it can be a show stopper for most corporate “ Pro” customers.
bro you provide better content than some of the channels with 1 million plus subs
Always the best content! Keep it up!! Love how you film your reviews and day-to-day vids.
Always loving ur vid! 🔥
Nice balance review. Pros and Cons, and a comparison with the Smart Keyboard. Kudos.
Love your videos man, helped me decide on the 11” iPad Pro and never look back! I have a question though - where did you find the wallpaper on your iPad for this video? Even reddit is having trouble finding it! Appreciate the help :)
Awesome review!
Perfect review as always 💯
Hii Canoopsy! can you send me the link of the wallpaper? I love it!
Ipad users 2010: I really like it that I don't have to use my laptop anymore.
Ipad users 2020: Im so glad we now have a keyboard with our ipad.
I bought one and I can’t wait for it to show up!!
i was waiting for this video😁😁😁
Thanks for waiting!
Hey man! been few months since you have had this setup, any update and new thoughts on it? New drawbacks that you discovered? Would love to hear your thoughts!
If I write a lot, does the Smart Keyboard+mouse replace the magic keyboard?
Wondering the same here
Your wallpaper is just so cool❤
Has anybody experienced lag/slow response while typing using this magic keyboard? Mine is driving me nuts on iPad Pro 11”, the response is extremely slow on latest iOS and didn’t find any useful solution. We tried the keyboard on another iPad and found it working great, any thought of what might be wrong?
this is the best review I have seen on the Magic Keyboard, you are the best ... keep it up
The pitfalls of this case you mention, are the same pitfalls I have mentioned in other videos. I, however, received negative feedback towards them, but you proved them to be true in your video. this case is not productive as a note-taking device, nor to be used in any other orientation unless you detach the device from the case. I like the added port, but for me the moment I plug in a dongle I am set. What I don’t understand is, why couldn’t they have just done a clamshell design, but attach the iPad as shown, but instead of it stopping partway and allowing the iPad to float, why not or why couldn’t apple have created a hinge that would have allowed you to use the iPad as a laptop without floating and allow the hinge to go back even further so you could use the iPad in Media mode to watch movies and take handwritten notes or drawing.
I wish I knew enough on how to make a 3D render of what I was talking about.
UPDATE:
I ended up buying the Smart Keyboard Magic case for my iPad Pro even though it has its drawbacks, I wanted to first-hand experience for myself those drawbacks to establishing my own opinion. After a few weeks with the case, I have determined that the case offers the best typing experience for your iPad Pro. Also, in my opinion, the case offers the best laptop experience for iPad Pro. The case is very sturdy and the magnets are a lot stronger than what is offered on the original folio keyboard for the iPad Pro 2018.
Who I would recommend this keyboard case for is someone who is going to be stationary with their iPad Pro. Someone who is wanting a laptop experience with their iPad Pro. This case is especially for someone who plans on using their iPad for word processing and typing out notes. It's nice that Apple made it easy for you to remove your iPad from the case when you want to use it as a tablet. I tried to do that with the original folio case but I did not find it as convenient as the new Magic case. The case is overpriced to me, but what are you going to do :)
The durability issue is bothering me. Mine will be delivered today. And if it starts to looks like it’s a few years old in a week, it’s going back
I just typed this on my Magic keyboard!
Worth it?
@@josephsciberras4996 Probably not it is pretty expensive 😕
Hey bud! Love the video! Im switching to an iPad as my main computer....just wanted to know....if i use the regular smart keyboard folio on the 11inch and I’m travelling with the ipad in my backpack....is it enough protection....wrt issues ive seen online about bending
Where could I find that wallpaper?
I bought one and I love it
ok
Looks good but I hope they put some side protection.
Great video and review. Love your channel
Every inch of that video was a treat to my eyes. Good job bro and hi from fellow Canadian🇨🇦
Just curious are you using the paper-like screen protector at all?
2:40: "You can pretty much open it up with one Hand"
*Shows himself having to use two hands.*
Also a short Question. Why does an iPad need a Trackpad ?
Edit: Ok the Trackpad question is kind of dumb. I didn't know, that iPadOS 13.4 added proper support for such a thing.
I don’t have the same issue with charging through the case usb c port. Maybe it’s a brand thing. I’m using 3rd party Anker cable and ac adapter. It’s slow, but it works.
When I got it, I was so worried about the weight! I immediately noticed that it’s heavier than my iPad itself, but what do you know, after one day of use I didn’t even notice the weight anymore. It’s really good, I love it. Super pricey though.
Kai Wong That’s absolutely true, I didn’t expect it to be super lightweight either. :) I was just unsure of how heavy they would really make it, but after a few weeks of use I can confirm that they found a very good balance, I love the Magic Keyboard. :)
I plan to get one for my 11” for Christmas
Amazing video again, Isaac. I believe I will now pull the trigger on the previous iPad Pro (refurbished) model with the Apple Pencil & Smart Keyboard. Don't really need much of an amazing typing experience on iPad since I have my MackBook Pro for all that. Just wanted to share my thoughts. Anyways, keep up the great work!
Do you find the keyboard small at all for typing on?
Regarding PaperLike, I never write and or draw on my iPad; would I be okay with a regular screen protector. For my 12.9 iPad Pro which screen protector would you recommend?
I have done a quick experiment to test the charging speed of the pass through port on the Magic Keyboard. If you want to find out more, please check out the following : th-cam.com/video/aLRQyfZJ8U4/w-d-xo.html
