Protecting the iPad when it is not attached to the Magic Keyboard
After years as a mechanic, I finally decided to pursue my passion for illustration and graphic design. After much consideration and discussion with the other (significantly younger) members on my degree course, I spent a considerable amount of money on an iPad Pro.
In general, the thing is great at most things. It is not good to use with programmes from Microsoft, and it seems to lack many of the basic capabilities afforded by a laptop costing 20% of the price. However, as a tool for digital art and on-screen annotation, it is second to none.
The reason for my post is this:
-I paid extra money for the Magic Keyboard
-I paid a lot of money for the iPad
-ERGO I would like to be able to protect the iPad when I am using it as a PAD!
There are, insofar as I can tell, any cases which allow a seamless transition between using the iPad as a standalone pad, and using it with the Magic Keyboard case (which funnily enough, apple automatically capitalises … but not its own company name lololololol)
So, does anyone know:
1)Where I can get a case for my iPad to keep it safe whilst is is not on the Magic Keyboard?
2)Why Apple has so heinously, obsequiously and unfairly made the decision to charge their customers for a keyboard case, and then be unable to use that keyboard case compatibly with their iPads (headline product) for the function it was designed for?
If I didn’t know any better, I would speculate that there is a corporate advantage to be gained from people damaging their iPads when not in the magic case, and an equally sketchy advantage to be gained for citing that as an invalidation of AppleCare.
