In this article, we look at three alternatives you can buy. but first, let\u2019s look at what you should consider when buying one.\r\n<h2><strong>What to consider when buying an iPad keyboard case<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Compatibility<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe first aspect to consider is the case compatibility with your iPad. As you\u2019d expect, cases are made for different iPads. For example, a case for the iPad Mini cannot fit the iPad Pro. As such, you need to check the dimensions of your iPad before buying your desired iPad keyboard case.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Size <\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAgain, cases come in different sizes. Some are compact while others are relatively large. If you use applications such as Microsoft Word, for editing and designing applications, then you should go for a spacious case since it will come with a large keyboard. Likewise, if yours is watching movies and chatting, a compact case will do the trick.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Brand<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIf you want a keyboard case that will withstand everyday tear and wear, you need to buy one from a reputable brand. These cases are made of quality and durable material, withstanding scratches and accidental drops. Most knockoffs break easily upon impact, some might not fit your iPad. Some brands to buy from are Apple and ESR.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Material<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esrgear.com\/categories\/tablet-keyboards\/?esr-from=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iPad keyboard cases<\/a> come in different materials. You can get anything from leather, silicone, TPU, and others. As you\u2019d guess, leather cases are relatively expensive and more durable. They also tend to come with extra features such as compartments. Silicone and TPU cases are cheaper; however, they protect your iPad.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Design<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAgain, you\u2019ll find different designs in the market. The best one depends on your preferences. Some cases will come with a detachable keyboard while others will have an in-built one.\r\n\r\nAlso, you\u2019ll get magnetic cases, allowing you to attach your iPad only when needed. Others will come with a silicone inner layer for improved protection.\r\n<h2><strong>5 Best Apple iPad Magic Keyboard Alternatives <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Most affordable:<\/strong> <a href=\"#a\"><u>ESR iPad Air 5\/4 and Pro 11\u201d Ascend Keyboard Case<\/u><\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Top pick:<\/strong> <a href=\"#b\"><u>ESR iPad Air 5\/4 and Pro 11\u201d Rebound Magnetic Keyboard Case<\/u><\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Most versatile:<\/strong> <a href=\"#c\"><u>Logitech Combo Touch iPad Pro 11-inch Keyboard Case<\/u><\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong><strong><strong>Best Lightweight: <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><a href=\"#d\">iPad Air 5\/4 and Pro 11\u201d Ascend Keyboard Case Lite<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Best Protection: <a href=\"#e\">ZAGG Rugged Book Go<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNow that you know what to consider when buying a keyboard case, let\u2019s look at three of the best in the market.\r\n<h3><em><strong>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esrgear.com\/products\/ipad-air-4-ipad-pro-11-ascend-magnetic-keyboard-case\/?esr-from=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>ESR iPad Air 5\/4 and Pro 11\u201d Ascend Keyboard Case<\/u><\/a> $69.99<\/strong><\/em><em><strong>(30% off with code: KEY30)<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8935 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/iPad-Air-4iPad-Pro-11-Ascend-Magnetic-Keyboard-Case-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/iPad-Air-4iPad-Pro-11-Ascend-Magnetic-Keyboard-Case-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/iPad-Air-4iPad-Pro-11-Ascend-Magnetic-Keyboard-Case-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/static.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/iPad-Air-4iPad-Pro-11-Ascend-Magnetic-Keyboard-Case-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/static.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/iPad-Air-4iPad-Pro-11-Ascend-Magnetic-Keyboard-Case-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/iPad-Air-4iPad-Pro-11-Ascend-Magnetic-Keyboard-Case-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/static.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/iPad-Air-4iPad-Pro-11-Ascend-Magnetic-Keyboard-Case-1-696x696.jpg 696w, https:\/\/static.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/iPad-Air-4iPad-Pro-11-Ascend-Magnetic-Keyboard-Case-1-1068x1068.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/static.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/iPad-Air-4iPad-Pro-11-Ascend-Magnetic-Keyboard-Case-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\r\n\r\nFirst on the list is this ESR keyboard case: one of the favorites among many iPad users.
