Can anyone recommend a folding Bluetooth keyboard suitable for iOS?

I have been searching on a certain well known shopping site and all of the keyboards that I have found seem to have one or more of the following problems:
  • physical keys omitted to reduce keyboard size, requiring the use of fn-key for several common symbols
  • Windows layout (so option/command keys would be in the "wrong" order (meta/alt))
  • central fold leading to awkward layout and oddly shaped keys
This one seems to avoid the awkward fold, but has the Windows layout:

This one is for iOS/Mac, but has slightly odd central keys because of the central fold (I have seen other keyboards substantially worse designed than this one, however):

(I should add that, although I am in the UK, I actually prefer the US keyboard layout in general, so this is a feature, not a bug, for me (as long as I can still type "£" with option-3 occasionally when I need to!))

Thanks for any advice! I am sure there must be an ideal-for-iOS keyboard out there somewhere!

I’ve been using the Jorno Folding Bluetooth keyboard for several years. Used it on Android devices for several years then about a year ago I converted to iOS and it works fine. This is their website www.jorno.com. I don’t know if this will do what you want but it is a nice portable keyboard. I’m currently using it with my iPad Pro 12.9 2nd gen.
