iPad mini 8.3-inch (A17 Pro) Keyboard Case, Bluetooth Keyboard with Folio Full Protection Shockproof Case for Apple 8.3-inch iPad mini (Latest A17 Pro) iPad mini 6 (2021) with Swivel Rotating

Great keyboard case for the iPad mini. The build feels sturdy and provides good protection, while the 130° rotating hinge makes it easy to switch between typing, viewing, and tablet modes. The Bluetooth keyboard connects quickly and is comfortable for emails and notes despite the compact size. It adds a bit of weight, but overall it’s a great value if you want to turn your iPad mini into a small productivity setup.

Lovely little keyboard that makes the iPad mini look like a mini laptop. People with larger hands will find it takes time to get used to the smaller keys and will slip letters. The return key is also smaller so you will slip that too. If you only need to type short passages then this serves its purpose. But for longer prose it will be frustrating due to easily missing keys even with smaller fingers. I like that it has a power switch so you can only have it on when you need it. I also like that the keyboard can be detached and the protective case is a strong plastic one. The angle could be better with the hinges as it doesn’t go back as far as is adequate. So you may find that you detach the screen in order to angle it better for viewing. I like that there is a caps lock light. The case is heavy and very noticeable- so expect your bag to feel heavy! I also found that if you extend the screen to the furthest angle it causes it to topple back due to the heavy weighted keyboard which causes the push back. So you have to keep the screen at angle which you may not like. It would have been good if the keyboard had backlighting- but the light from the screen is sufficient due to the size of the keyboard. For me the case serves its purpose for typing short pieces of work quickly wherever I am and in a convenient way. There is some wasted space at the top and bottom of the keyboard which could have been used by elongating the keys and perhaps helped the typing experience. Lastly there are indents for a pencil to magnetically attach. I guess the product is niche so can justify the pricing- so I would probably say the keyboard is worth it.

Whilst the dimensions and weight were clearly quoted in the product details I hadn’t appreciated how heavy it turned out! My fault of course - but it feels as if it’s doubled the device weight🙈 This said, the keyboard itself is well constructed with good positive travel on individual keys. Also a plus is it offers good edge protection, unlike Apple’s own keyboard for my 11” ipad pro (2019), so for the money I guess I’ll be keeping it.

Case is great - keys are obviously small but manageable for my average hands, it’s not been that difficult to use compared to a regular keyboard. It does add a lot of weight but I think this is ideal; I’ve used cases before where the keyboard was lighter and the tablet would constantly be falling over. Feels very durable and well made, keys strike nicely. Looks just like the pictures. One thing to note - despite not being mentioned in the instructions, the keyboard does detach, contrary to some reviews. It’s quite stiff the first time but it’s just magnetically attached to the keyboard - I’ll attach photos

Nice sturdy keyboard, doesn’t have a mouse function but I don’t need it. Also ask as a sturdy case. Well worth the money worth the money.

Nice unit but found a couple of problems so returned. Screen angle not enough and using fingerprint touchscreen very difficult due to size of case

Works well. A bit heavy though.

- works perfectly fine and is really easy to get a hang off. - 4 stars because it says it can fold and separate when mine can’t . - very sturdy, easy to set up. - it is quite heavy overall.

Brilliant product, well made, sturdy and fits the ipad Mini perfectly.

Just turned my IPad mini into a sleekest and smallest laptop you can ever think of! Must. For every mini owner!

There’s a lot that I like about this: it’s got great battery life even if I don’t switch it off between uses, it charges by seemingly any USB-C charger like the Mini itself, the hinge is very stable and usable to type on your lap, the key travel feels pretty good and the key spacing is reasonable, and the two-part case means it’s really easy to pop the iPad off of the keyboard half and, say, read on it like a kindle. It seems pretty sturdy as a case, and I haven’t worried about it rattling around a shoulder bag. The main downside is that it’s a very tiny keyboard, and rather than make *very* tiny keys they put some characters behind function combos—quote, apostrophe, brackets/braces, and then the question mark and slashes are still their own keys but have moved down next to the spacebar. Comma, period (and thus less-than / greater-than) are about where you’d expect. I’m not sure there’s a better trade-off they could have made, but it does take time to adjust to. The keyboard adds a decent amount of weight, but I think if it weighed any less it would tip over backwards too easily. I bought this keyboard and then spent a few months occasionally using it and otherwise just putting my iPad in the Apple flip cover instead because of the unfamiliar layout. But I’m so much faster typing with even a tiny and oddly-laid-out keyboard than on the touchscreen, that I adjusted to it—and at first it helped that iOS is pretty aggressive about auto-correcting “missing apostrophe” type mistakes that I could just skip typing those rather than hunt for the function combo. The keyboard is different enough from a full size keyboard that, for me, I now just have a different muscle memory for it. And the ability to quickly pop the tablet off of the keyboard is fantastic, and especially good for the Mini, which is so pleasant to hold like a paperback book or a small pad of paper. So in the end I’ve come to love it, and now this case is on my iPad mini full time.

It was great while it lasted but developed a fault after 4 months where the hinge wouldn’t fully close. Tried to contact their warranty support through their email and through Amazon but never heard anything back.

When on promo, this Arteck keyboard case for iPad Mini is under $40, making it a great value. It basically turns your iPad Mini 6/7 into a mini laptop, and because the case is undockable from the keyboard, you can easilly use your iPad Mini as a tablet without removing it from case... brilliant. The case and keyboard does add some weight and bulk, but it does have a solid construction and the case does seem like it can protect your iPad Mini from bumps and drops. The typing experience is good, well about as good as you can expect from a keyboard this size. There are some compromises as certain keys are not in the same position as regular size keyboard, so your touch typing speeds will be slower. However, the feel of the keys, the key travel and slight tactile bumps makes typing light notes and emails a good experience. This is just a keyboard without a trackpad, which is something I prefer as I want more space for the keys instead of a micro sized trackpad. I've tried other keyboard cases with trackpads for iPad Mini and none were very good. It's easier just to bring a compact Bluetooth mouse instead of having a poor trackpad experience.
