iPad Pro Magic Keyboard alternative! | Benks Urban Pro Keyboard Case | Mark Ellis Reviews

Do you think the Apple Magic Keyboard is overpriced?

I thought you were British

If you plug the case into a power source while you are using it, will it also charge the iPad? If so, could you also connect the iPad to a hub and create a work station?

Outstanding. I've always like the Surface Pro kick stand approach. Is this available through Best Buy?

it does not have a slanted keyboard like the one made by Microsoft for Surface Pro 9.

I would be great if the pencil can be charged

I ended up returning mine. I felt like it was rubbish. Not a huge fan of the way. The typing experience felt to me. I much prefer the Logitech keyboard, so I ended up buying a logitech and keeping the Magic Keyboard in my eyes and best of both worlds for me. Your mileage may vary.

How about weight compared to magic keyboard

Will this work on the 12.9 m2 version?

I think the Benks items are really good, I have the iPad pencil and Max headphone stand as recommended by yourself,,,,,however I choose the Magic Keyboard by apple over this benks offering as I like the simple on/off magnetic placement on the apple keyboard, makes life a lot easier for me at least as I like to change the folio options. all the best.

MY SON POINTED OUT TO ME THE OTHER DAY YOU MUST HAVE MORE APPLE STUFF THAN ALMOST ALL OTHER YOU-TUBERS OUT THERE, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW .WHY I SAID YOU HAVE TO MUCH MONEY.

Is the case internal microfibre?

They don't have it for iPad Air 5th GEN ... Would've definitely bought one right now

How is the trackpad, does it lag? How is the gesture support?

I have this case but i prefer logitech and magic keyboard over it, you have to charge the keyboard unlike those two

i just bought this keyboard case and i have to say the factionality that provides is really good. the keyabord is great and the materials are good but not even close to magic keyboard.. also the trackpad is really bad almost unsble not all the gestures work and is really glitchy. Apple dont really like thrid partys so is not all benks fault.

Can’t use it without a cable what do I do wrong

For those who may be curious about purchasing this product…I placed my order on the 9th and received it today (23rd). They were really quick with processing the order and getting it shipped. The postal service held mine for a while and that’s why it took so long to be delivered

The Apple Pencil compartment is in an awful place. I like to hand write my maths notes with the iPad flat on the desk, but with the holder there the case will lean to one side

Hey Mark, do you know if this will work with an iPad Air 5th gen?

How’s the trackpad?

Too bad it is sold out!!

Does this case work with Benks Infinity stand?

I love that you can securely store the ipad pencil. I don't like the extra weight.

Wow this is awesome i gotta get one!

Mark, always watch your videos reviews etc. However I am a little disappointed with this one. I should have realised from the beginning when you said they send you one for free and they were sponsoring this video. This product has been discontinued ? ok not your fault, but makes one think ? why? could it be all the issues they have been having? Just placing an order based on your video , I am thinking have I lost my hard earned cash. OK you did not hold a gun against my head, but I ordered from a place of trusting your review.

Just placed my order. How are you getting on with the keyboard ? I have been reading some horror reviews on Amazon.

Hi great vid, I cannot find the urban pro for iPad 12.9 anywhere online, sold out on benks website, any ideas?

Would this work with an iPad air?

‘Magnets? How do those work?’ -ICP

nice but still pricy

You get a like for the London Jets T-shirt! Boys from the Dwarf! Great review too!

Omg im fuming! I've asked for a magic keyboard for Christmas! This is even better 😢

Does work with the ipad air 5?

I watch your videos almost continually. I need to get a life! However, I also need to get a keyboard for my iPad Pro 12.9 and I can’t for the life of me figure out how I can get around the magnets. I have a pacemaker and magnets are a no no with pacemakers and though I keep my iPad Pro and my phone and other Apple products that I have a way for my pacemaker the keyboard will be a problem. Do you know of any good keyboards for the iPad Pro fifth and 4th Generation.? I have both don’t ask me why but I do. I really would love to hear from you ASAP because I just got the iPad Pro fifth generation and I haven’t taken it out of the box yet. Regards and thank you

Hi that cover is very close to what Samsung offer it splits apart and pen slot area which charges and keeps your pen safe at the same time , please do a review on the Samsung tab 8 + then you would see the similarities thanks

I can't seem to find it on Benks' website, is it gone?

Hello, firstly thanks for introdusing this amazing keyboard but the link is not working and it gives me error i can’t access to the page to see the product it’s like it’s vanished!

Don’t understand why apple can’t make a more affordable one. They must be missing so many sales.

no backlit !!! too pity!

i love how these so called influencers (salesmen) always say they get free shit but the reviews (sales) are honest. What a load of pure marketing shit.

Does this work with the iPad Air 5 ?

I really want to see how fast does it detect the letters when you are typing. That's the main purpose of me buying a keyboard for an iPad. I want to use it for document typing. Not to replace my Macbook, but my job requires me to type out documents and most of the times, I don't bring my Macbook because the size is quite big compared to iPad which is only 11 inches. If you can show us, will you? Please?

1. Does not have backlit keyboard 2. Does not close snug, the top and bottom pieces are loosely coupled … you get what you pay for I guess. A much better alternative to both is the Logitech touch combo case at $194.

I need a keyboard that charges the iPad, pass through charging nut it does seem to do that.

I found that the Logitech Combo Touch for the 12.9” iPad Pro is the best choice.

Looks nice, but as others have said, I use the Logitech Touch Combo. The main selling point for me is the Smart Connector compatibility, no need to go through a pairing process is nice. Still it also detaches and I like the soft material it’s made of. Plus the top row of function keys is a must have for me at this point.
