The new 12.9-inch iPad Pro won’t fit in your old $350 Magic Keyboard case. That’s an expensive extra half a millimeter if you plan on upgrading to the new M1 iPad.
The best alternative to the Magic Keyboard for any iPad Pro
Apple’s Magic Keyboard case (with trackpad) is the best iPad Pro accessory out there. It truly transforms the device, turning it into a capable laptop replacement.
It’s also more expensive than some laptops. The 12.9-inch version costs $350 and is now outdated. So should you just ditch Apple’s version and try an alternative?
“It doesn't completely deter me from buying the new iPad Pro because I would buy it for other reasons, but I completely understand that it would be a deal breaker for some people,” Rex Freiberger, CEO of Gadget Review, told Lifewire via email.
