I'm also quite confused here. Does the Smart Keyboard provide a case, or is it just a keyboard, to be used separately from the device?
Also, this line seems to indicate that you will need bot a smart cover and case for the back if you want full protection: "We’ve made Smart Covers and Silicone Cases especially for iPad Pro.1 The Smart Cover is crafted from durable polyurethane and comes in two colours — charcoal grey and white. The Silicone Case protects the back of your iPad Pro and is designed to pair seamlessly with the Smart Cover for complete front‑and‑back coverage." They're $174 for both in CAD! Am I reading this wrong?
