iPad Pro + Zagg Sim Book Pro = laps friendly tablet with external keyboard?

[hajime]

Hello, one problem with the iPad PRO is that I cannot type on the bus. Is there a good case with keyboard that turns the device into a lap friendly device to allow easy typing while sitting?

I came across the Zagg Sim Book Pro. Anybody tried it on the laps while on public transportation?

The Smart Keyboard does lap ability really well.

Probably the best is the Brydge keyboard. That turns it into a MacBook clone, but it does not provide any protection for the iPad.

I pulled the plug and bought one at a Zagg Kiosk. The camera hole is for the first gen but I didn't care. It has a nice balance but makes your iPad really heavy. I hope mine stays functional for years

It'll last you anywhere from a month to 6 months based on how much you use it, then the plastic hinge will break. Happens to everyone who has bought it.

I've always seen Zagg as an inferior brand. This is coming from the Palm Treo days.

I've been going back and forth with their customer service and they told me they will release an updated 12.9 Slim Book with reinforced hinges. I'm going to return this one and wait for the new one to come.
