Features

The case boasts a sleek, minimalist design. The black color is understated yet elegant, complementing the tablet’s aesthetic. The magnetically detachable keyboard is a significant plus, offering flexibility for those who need to type extensively. The build quality feels solid; the TPU material feels durable and offers decent protection against minor drops and scratches. Access to all ports and buttons remains unhindered, a crucial feature often overlooked in similar products.

The keyboard’s typing experience is surprisingly comfortable. The key travel is adequate, and the layout is intuitive. While not as responsive as a full-sized keyboard, it’s perfectly acceptable for extended use. The magnetic connection is reliable; the keyboard hasn’t detached unexpectedly during my testing. The cover itself offers decent protection, although I wouldn’t recommend dropping it from a significant height. I particularly appreciated the ease of installation; it took me less than a minute to attach the keyboard and cover to my tablet.

Battery life for the keyboard (if applicable) was consistently good throughout my testing period. I easily got through a full day of moderate use without needing to recharge. Pairing the keyboard to the tablet was also a seamless process, with no noticeable connection issues.

The magnetic closure is strong enough to keep the cover securely closed, preventing the screen from being scratched while in a bag or briefcase.
