HOU Keyboard Case for iPad mini 7th/6th Generation, Black 156° Adjustable Stand, Detachable Full Protective Case, 11 Shortcut Keys, 7 Color Backlight, Bluetooth, Black

Don't buy it. I received an older model. I checked on YouTube and saw that the one sent isn't the latest version. To make matters worse, it doesn't turn on. No, it simply doesn't work. Very disappointed, so I have to buy another one.

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 particular model is the best iPad Mini keyboard case that I have ever used. There are quite a few things that make it a standout. For starters, the keyboard layout is 95% standard, and the 5% non-standard are the way they are because of the size of the keyboard. They’ve had to overload - _ + = ‘ and “ so that you have to hit CTRL and 7 8 9 0 ; or / to get those keys. Critically, the keys that are overloaded are spatially where they should be on the keyboard if it had been large enough to accommodate the additional keys. This was the right choice, and makes typing with the keyboard very natural and easy to adapt to. The keyboard itself has a great feel and good backlighting. Really, I haven’t seen another keyboard that is anywhere close to this good at this size. The next thing that makes this case a standout, especially for travel, is the protection and flexibility that the case provides for the iPad. The keyboard detaches esasily, at which point the iPad can be used with the kickstand in portrait or landscape modes. And, the case offers a good amount of edge protection to the iPad itself, without adding a huge amount of bulk. The case was pricey for me. It was around $120 CAD delivered. That is a lot for a no-name Chinese iPad keyboard, but having purchased many, many iPad keyboard cases over the years, it is hands down the best iPad Mini case I’ve ever used. Note that the same company makes older, similar versions of this case. The one that charges with USB C rather than the proprietary charger is worth the extra money and bother to buy.

I have received so many compliments while I have used this little set! My keyboard is great and because it disconnects, when I don’t want to be in work mode and I want to watch movies or play games, I can do that with the easy kick stand in the back. I absolutely LOVE THIS!! I have used several types of these but htis is the best. Light weight, great quality, allows my pen to be connected too, easy to connect. I cannot say enough good things about it .

I don’t ever write reviews, but I had to do it for this one. I've purchased at least 4 or 5 other keyboard cases for my mini iPad and tried them out for a few days then returned them because something just didn't feel right. I was not 100% satisfied. Well I finally found this one (HOU Keyboard case) and it has been the best. I’m finally keeping this one. It has a nice typing experience and the keys are a good size, not too small like the other keyboard cases, the battery life last for a long time and the magnet strength holds pretty well, also the the Bluetooth pairing is quick. I’m really impressed with this item and for the price I think it’s worth it . Give it a try and see for
