Hi,

I used the Smart Keyboard on my 10.5 iPad for a long time, but after a while I started wanting something with a backlit keyboard. I ended upgrading to a keyboard case, but it ads some bulk to the iPad. Not too unwieldy but I’ve decided it’s worth it.

I just wish Apple would do 2 things here. The first is to put a backlight on the Smart Keyboard. Even if it would make it a bit thicker I would be ok with that. The second thing is a row of function keys at the top. I’m hoping against hope they do this for the next iPad announcement later this month, but we shall see.

That and get rid of the damn camera bump on the iPad. Or better yet just remove the rear camera on the iPad, it’s not as useful as the iPhone camera in the first place. It’s just a shame to have to use a case in order to level the iPad for note taking & drawing.
