Over the past few weeks, I’ve been putting the Combo Touch Keyboard Case for iPad (7th, 8th & 9th Gen), Model #920-009996, through its paces. This review will delve into its design, functionality, and overall user experience. My aim is to provide a balanced assessment, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses.

The Combo Touch boasts a compelling combination of features designed to enhance iPad productivity. The detachable keyboard offers a comfortable typing experience, thanks to well-spaced keys and adjustable backlighting. The integrated trackpad, a significant upgrade for many iPad users, provides precise navigation and gesture control. The adjustable kickstand allows for comfortable viewing angles, whether you’re typing or consuming media. The case itself is surprisingly durable, having passed MIL-STD-810g drop tests. It’s also remarkably slim and light, making it easy to transport.

In terms of performance, the Combo Touch delivers. The keyboard is responsive and comfortable for extended use. The trackpad’s multi-gesture support works seamlessly with iPadOS, allowing for quick navigation and efficient multitasking. The Bluetooth connection is stable and reliable. I experienced no noticeable lag or connectivity issues during testing. The build quality is excellent; the case feels robust and protective. I particularly appreciated the ease of detaching the keyboard when not needed, allowing for a more streamlined tablet experience.

However, the typing experience, while good, isn’t perfect. For users accustomed to full-sized keyboards, there might be a slight adjustment period. The key travel could be a tad deeper for an even more satisfying tactile feedback.

Pros:

• Precise trackpad with excellent multi-gesture support
• Comfortable and responsive backlit keyboard
• Durable and protective case design
• Adjustable kickstand for optimal viewing angles
• Detachable keyboard for flexibility
• Stable Bluetooth connection

Cons:

• Key travel could be slightly deeper
• Might require a slight adjustment period for users accustomed to full-sized keyboards

Overall, the Combo Touch Keyboard Case for iPad (7th, 8th & 9th Gen), Model #920-009996, is an excellent accessory that significantly enhances iPad productivity. The combination of a comfortable keyboard, precise trackpad, and protective case makes it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to transform their iPad into a more versatile computing device. While a few minor improvements could be made, the Combo Touch’s strengths easily outweigh its weaknesses. I highly recommend it.
