Is it possible to put a slim case around the iPad Pro to protect the edges/back but still attach it to the Magic Keyboard? I know Logitech has the Combo Touch but that needs twice the amount of desk space to use but it's nice that the Keyboard detaches and you can carry around and use the iPad like a regular tablet. I just worried the MK gives zero protection especially with kids around.
Got a tip for us?

MagEZ Case 2 for iPad Pro 2021 - PITAKA
This ultra-slim, Magic Keyboard compatible case for iPad Pro/Air offers full functionality between devices, including pass-through charging, USB-C port access, and Apple Pencil attachment. / Fully compatible with Apple Magic Keyboard / Magnetically attaches to MagEZ Stand and MagEZ Folio /...
So i have both the Logitech combo touch and the magic keyboard and found the magic keyboard much better for my use case with the lapability and the elevated screen.
Since I wanted to use the Magic keyboard but protect my case, the real options I narrowed down everything to were:
Since I wanted to use the Magic keyboard but protect my case, the real options I narrowed down everything to were:
- Pitaka MagEZ 2 Case
- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0983BVCWP
- Expensive for what it was, brittle and prone to breaking according to amazon reviews
- Coverbuddy
- https://www.amazon.com/SwitchEasy-CoverBuddy-Magnetic-Generation-Charging/dp/B096FD2PQX/ref=sr_1_3
- Similar to Pitaka but has a pencil holder that I wasn’t going to use
- Pad and Quill Copertina
- https://www.padandquill.com/copertina-magic-case-for-ipad-pro-11-3-gen.html
- Exactly what I wanted but uses adhesive so you cannot take the magic keyboard off whenever you want
- DodoCase Magic Keyboard Case
- https://dodocase.com/products/magic-keyboard-cover-for-ipad-pro-11-pro-12-9-air-10-9
- I ordered this one. Similar to Pad and Quill but it uses magnets. I’m getting this delivered Monday so can report back on whether this is good or not! But out of all my research, this one seems to tick all the boxes for protection + maintaining use of the magic keyboard

I have the MagEZ on my 2021 12.9" with the Magic Keyboard. I wouldn't say that the MK closes perfectly, but that's ok with me. I have the CoverBuddy but prefer the quality and fitment of the MagEZ miles above the CoverBuddy. And, as an added bonus for me, the MagEZ is magnetized on the back, so I'm able to stick the iPad onto a metal music stand, giving me added security.
I got the Pad & Quill magnetic Oxford case, available for both 11 and 12.9 inch pro’s. Love it. Solves the adhesive issue and allows easy switch between MKB and just the case. It is also available in a format that allows the use of the MKB while in the Oxford case (also magnetically).

Just got an email from them, 11 and 12.9 inch available as seconds, 1/2 off (almost)

Oh that’s awesome thanks for the tip re: the Seconds deal! I saw the oxfords but I wanted to keep my ipad with my magic keyboard the entire time instead of swapping between 2 cases. However I’m tempted to try them out at that price point
Eh that’s just another bulky case for the whole iPad. I want a slim style case for iPad protection that can still hang on the MK when mouse and keyboard are needed.I got the Pad & Quill magnetic Oxford case, available for both 11 and 12.9 inch pro’s.

They also make a version of the Oxford magnetic case that also holds the MKB and the iPad Pro magnetically. Might also have some on second clearance.
