I use my apple pen a lot to annotate my work because I prefer it. My current case is the typical tri-foldable one that elevates the iPad slightly so I can write better, with no keyboard.

But I was thinking of upgrading to a case with a keyboard as I type as well. But most of the cases with keyboards are inconvenient for annotating comfortably. Pls share some advice if you have any :)

Also, what about iPad cases, any recommendations for ones that offer good quality and protection?

And does the Apple Magic Keyboard provide decent overall protection for the iPad, or would I still need a separate case?

Purchased 13in iPad Air, pencil, and keyboard. I’m looking for some extra protection for the device that is still compatible with the magnetic keyboard. The pencil pro charges on top of the device so ideally a case that will let it charge. Options for quality cases are scarce. I will be buying a sleeve alongside the case but I would love extra protection. I want the ability to remove the iPad from the keyboard (for ease of use, prefer to write notes on portrait mode) and not fear scratches. Any recommendations?

Do you recommend the Magic Keyboard? I’ve tried it and I’m impressed. I want to use for writing emails on gmail app, use Microsoft office for studies for assignments and my full time job. Sheets works perfectly on my iPad so I’m happy with that personally. Zoom calls for online classes while making notes. It would be easier as I commute a lot to appointments for evaluations of clients properties to make notes as well rather than bringing a MacBook everywhere with me. I feel it will cater more for my lifestyle especially also I travel sometimes as well. I even intentionally configured to 256GB as that’s enough for my games etc. I like iPadOS as it’s not all over the place and stage manager. I think it can really work really nicely for me, especially as an alternative laptop.
