I was pretty shocked how heavy and thick it was. It's thicker than my iPad Pro 11 3rd gen with Magic Keyboard. At any rate this is for the new iPad Pro OLED 13" with has not arrived yet and it sort of defeats the purpose of having a super thin iPad in a sense. That said, any sort of case is going to be an issue in that regard, im a case guy though as I dont like my devices getting scratched up. Furthermore, I can't bring myself to cough up $450 CAD just for the magic keyboard for occasional use of the keyboard, so this ESR one is a good alternative. Despite the fact it's so thick and heavy, the bright side is the quality is very good. Typing feels better and more solid than the magic keyboard. Moreover, since the base is heavier it likely won't tip as easily as the magic keyboard does. Bear in mind this is all comparing to the older style magic keyboard not the 2024 Magic Keyboard that I was too cheap to buy. At any rate ESR makes good quality products and this is no exception.
