An easy on-off design: We appreciate keyboard cases that make it simple to leave the keyboard behind when you don’t need it so you aren’t forced to carry extra bulk and weight.It also shouldn’t take up too deep a space on your desk.

Reasonable size and weight: A keyboard case makes an iPad bulkier and heavier, but it shouldn’t do so to an unreasonable extent.Solid protection: A good keyboard case must protect your iPad well, covering the device’s back and sides in such a way as to prevent scratches and mitigate damage from drops.We prefer (but don’t require) dedicated keys, as opposed to overlays that require you to press the Fn key to access these functions. Dedicated iPadOS keys: We like having iPadOS-specific keys for functions such as Spotlight (search), brightness adjustment, and Home.

The keys should have a decent amount of travel (the distance you press the key to activate it) and should have a good tactile feel.
