Keyboard Case for iPad mini 7 A17 Pro 2024&Mini 6 2021 Multi Touchpad Backlit Functional Keyboard for iPad mini 6th/7th Generation 8.3 inch Thin Light

The flexible connection was very convenient, but it has started coming apart in less than 12 months. (See picture) The keyboard is workable but has an irregular layout of keys.

Overall the build on this case seems pretty sturdy. I've had trouble with the joint swivel thingy breaking on other similar versions I've had in the past and so far (been using for a couple weeks) it hasn't been a problem with this case. However, the big problem with this case is the inconsistent ability to type. Sometimes it'll work just fine, but other times the letters appearing on the screen lags far behind your actual typing, and it will start to put in random periods for no reason. It seems to work better if you type slower, but even then I still often get the same results. There are times where you literally cannot get what you're trying to type to appear correctly. If typing worked normally I'd easily rate this 5 stars and recommend to anyone, but as it stands this case is best used for general app using and web browsing with minimal actual typing. ----- UPDATE: Props to LENRICH for the exceptional and on point CS team! I rarely check the e-mail associated with this account and didn't even notice the multiple times they tried to contact me to resolve the issue until a replacement case arrived in the mail. It has been a few days, and so far so good! It is also worth noting, that while my original case does still have the typing issues (though you can sort of mitigate by flipping it off and then on again real quick) the swivel portion of the case (the fatal flaw in other similar models) has continued to be sturdy and has not had any problems. Anyway, updating to 5 stars!

Update 05/27/20 - I am even more pleased with this case now. I recently discovered a crack in the casing which was causing the case not to close all the way. I don't know how the crack happened. However, it turns out that this case has a lifetime guarantee. So when myself and another user asked what to do if a case gets damaged we were told to email. It was as easy as that and apparently a new one is now on its way to me. Well worth the money of buying this case in the first place. This keyboard case is well made and the best one so far. The Bluetooth connection works well and stays connected. With the other keyboards, after I have had them for less than a month, some of the keys stop working or start misfiring. So far, so good with this one except for the spacebar, which sometimes adds periods when I hit the spacebar (and yes, I check to make sure it was not my error hitting the wrong key). My other complaint also has to do with the spacebar; I find it is too small. I think they could have put the backlight key up at the top or in a small area next to the up/down and home arrows and extended the keyboard by that much more space, and then the design would work much better. Otherwise, it is worth the price, and having wasted my $ on two cheaper models, I recommend you start here first.

I love my iPad Mini 5 - great battery life, peppy performance, perfect for reading a book, watching a movie, etc. But.... typing? Truly a pain - unless you have a keyboard. Well, I had one for my iPad Mini 2, 4, and wore out the previous version and needed a new one. I have issues carrying heavy weights (bad shoulder) and love being able to take my iPad Mini into customer meetings / conferences and when traveling. It's the perfect size. Now this keyboard is my go-to one for use with the iPad. I was very concerned about compatibility and the vendor was prompt in reassuring me this keyboard is for both the '5 and the latest iOS. It works flawlessly. The keyboard travel is decent and allows good typing speed. The placement of characters that was problematic on my previous version is fixed. Delete is where you need it, and the illumination of the keys for dark conditions is really appreciated. The twist and flip functions are sturdy and give you a feeling of confidence. I waited to review until I had used it enough to know if it was durable, and I am happy. Also, it has enough magnetic strength for the screen to go dark automatically when closed. If you like using your iPad as a daily device, this is a great keyboard.

This is a convenient and easy to use keyboard. I find 3 issues that are problematic. I cannot type an apostrophe even after having checked all suppport and suggestions such as changing the ipad settings to the proper language etc. This is very frustrating and time consuming to pull up the iPad keyboard just to type an apostrophe and then back to the Lenrich keyboard. The 2nd issue is only cosmetic but the outside of the case always looks smudged - even the first day of use. It is difficult to get it to look clean no matter how I have cleaned it. 3rd - There is a bit of a balance issue. My previous Logitech case was very stable, however this one tends to fall backward when open and sitting n my lap. It does not fall back when on a table but I most often use it on my lap and sometimes have to rip something behind it so it does not fall backward. Otherwise this is a very handy keyboard. Love the back lighted keyboard for evening use. Battery life is reasonable. If anyone has a solution to the apostrophe problem I would be happy to have it.
