Hi folks,


I'm considering getting the Magic Keyboard for my iPad Pro M4 13" and was wondering if there's a case/skin that fully covers all four edges of the iPad — including the buttons — while still allowing the Smart Connector and magnets to function properly with the Magic Keyboard.

Satechi cases, whilst compatible, do leave one edge exposed to let the Magic Keyboard close.

I typically use my iPad on a desk or sofa rather than carrying it around closed. I'm currently using a Torro case.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated as I would like to protect all sides of my iPad and improve my typing speeds without the need to carry and connect a separate keyboard and mouse.


Thanks!
 
No, you can't cover all four edges and still use the MKB - the bottom edge has very little clearance with the MKB's hinge when closed so it has to be uncovered. I'm using the Pitaka case with my M4 13" Pro. Their original design with the new MKB was faulty - the MKB wouldn't fully close with the case on the iPad; that's been fixed (version I have).

Since the MK needs the bottom edge clear to close, full coverage cases won’t work. I tried spigen and pitaka but ended up with mageasy coverbuddy. It fits really well, no bulges, magnets are strong, and smart connect works perfectly. Honestly don’t feel like switching anymore.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions - have either of you found that your devices have tarnished along the bottom exposed end? I'm quite protective of a device that cost almost £2k! ;)
