HOUKeyboard Case for iPad mini 7/6, 156° Adjustable Stand, Detachable Full Protective Case for iPad mini 7/6, 11 Shortcut Keys, 7 Color Backlight, Silicone PU, Multifunction, Bluetooth

This keyboard case is especially good for the size and the layout is much better than the keyboard in the "HOU ultra slim folio case" (longer spacebar, less keys where yo need to use "option" key to reach the "3rd option"). This keyboard also has a very useful function row and USB C charging. The kickstand is great for typing angles AND for portrait viewing (good for FaceTime, some typing). Overall kickstand is also better than the HOU ultra slim folio. Only downside is the thickness and weight. The ultra slim folio is nearly indistinguishable from a regular folio cover and yet is has a keyboard. While not heavy, this has a thin case around the iPad (nice feel, takes more purpose to use Touch ID) which offers protection. The combined thickness of the case and keyboard is noticeable, but not bulky. For now, I'm keeping this case and already sent ultra slim folio back because of the keyboard. If HOU was to update the keyboard on the Ultra Slim Folio to this layout, it would likely be my pick.

This is by far the best investment I have made for my mini. Its solid. Its comfortable. Its classy. It works perfectly. Makes carrying a universal breeze. It fits great inside my current edc. I just love it. It feels premium. Looks premium. And the fact that it makes my life easier. Deserves more than five stars! I highly recommend! Oh and the bonus. Its not covered in branding! 🖤👏🏻🙌🏻 ten stars!!!

This HOU Keyboard Case for iPad mini 7/6 is just what I needed. Both of our laptops quit working within a week of each other. My spouse has an iPad 9, I have an iPad Mini 6. So instead of buying new laptops, we decided to turn our iPads into laptops. All you need is a Keyboard case and maybe a mouse.Apple doesn’t make a keyboard case for the Mini, so I found this. There are so many things to love about this case!1-The iPad is completely protected. This case works like any other case, and fits perfectly. All the ports are easily accessible, and all the buttons work great.2-The case on the iPad has a fold-out stand that works BOTH in landscape AND portrait mode. Big Plus!3-The keyboard portion of this case is removable. I don’t mean you remove it and leave a flap that has to be folded back, either. Completely removable! It reconnects via magnets in both sides of the case.4-The Battery life is wonderful. I’ve been using this every day for a week, and am still at 91%. Granted, I only use it for a couple hours a day. But still… 91%! I’ve charged my iPad mini 3 times in the same amount of time.5-The keyboard has a backlight if you need it. And… it changes color. How cool is that?!So here’s the reason I only gave it 4 stars. The keys tend to stick. Especially the space bar. This is more of an annoyance than anything. But it does make it difficult if you are trying to type normally.One more thing you might have an issue with. Because this keyboard case has to fit the iPad Mini, some of your normal keys had to be “piggybacked” on the number keys on the top. It takes a little while to get used to it, but I didn’t have much trouble (Once I read the user manual). The function key in combination with other keys also allow for some pretty cool functions.I did see a different model of this brand of keyboard case. Yes it was cheaper. However, it used a proprietary charging cord (this on uses USB-C), and I didn’t like the way the keyboard would have to be removed. This one seemed much more sturdy.I highly recommend this HOU Keyboard Case for iPad mini 7/6.

First off, I’m not a bot, fake promoter or being paid and I rarely write reviews.I have only been using this keyboard for a few hours and am so impressed that I wanted to share my opinion. I have been using another keyboard case for the last few years, it served its purpose but I wasn’t impressed. No back lighting and had to use the function key way too much. Yea this key board is small, what would you expect, it’s for a Mini! While small it is highly functional and the keys are very responsive. The case around the mini is nice, not to grippy and appears just as protective as my other one. Pen holds firmly in place. Can’t speak to battery life as I just got it. Oh the stand is outstanding! If you’re a mini lover like I am, I highly recommend this keyboard case!

-- UPDATE AFTER 10 DAYS TRAVEL --The keyboard is nice to type on, but it does not stay closed but flaps open, it needed a rubber band to keep closed. The worst feature is the keyboard that requires a flat surface to work on, like a table or a tray. It is impossible to type on with the device on one's lap. With the kickstand open the footprint gets large and it was nearly impossible to use on an airplane folding tray. Returning as it is not fulfilling the usage I needed. Someone should create a keyboard that opens like clamshell and keeps ipad up without a kickstand.-- ORIGINAL REVIEW 4 STARS --The ipad case frame is solid and rugged that would survive a drop. Pencil Pro attaches well. Keyboard is responsive. The whole unit does add weight but it makes a very attractive little computer. The keyboard can be attached flipped backwards and wrap the back so the iPad can be held with the flap folded back without clicking the keys. The only suggestion I'd make is to add some kind of a closure mechanism so the keyboard part can be snapped closed. Nothing holds it and it can simply dangle open. So for travel or while in a bag, I need a rubber band to hold it all together. Possible solution for the maker is to add two small magnets at the corners of the keyboard that would snap to the iPad and stay closed. All in all this item exceeds my expectation for value.
