Ended up with the Smart Folio Keyboard. Did not see a setup/combo to acheieve the keyboard when I wanted it and just a ~cover~ for the back when I wanted less of a profile.
Here's hoping the keyboard is a a solid.
When I got the 1st KB for the Gen 1 12" IPP, we ended up getting it replaced via AppleCare when it went south. The relacement must be a ~gen 2 or the like~ as it's been solid
