typecase Folio Keyboard Case Review

Priced at $28.49, the typecase Folio Keyboard Case is Typecase's entry in the keyboard cases category. With 1,024 buyers rating it at 4.6 stars, it currently sits at #2 of 4 in our rankings. Sitting in the top 3 means it's competing directly with the ESR iPad Keyboard Case ($79.99, 4.3★) for the category lead.

The keyboard's exact switch type isn't specified in the product listing, which is unusual at this price point. If switch feel matters to you, it's worth checking the manufacturer's site before ordering. At $28.49, plastic chassis and basic ABS keycaps are expected - the spend goes into making the switches feel right rather than premium materials.
