Why keyboard case?
The keyboard case is a convenient option that makes using the iPad Air 4 more like a laptop. If you get a keyboard with a trackpad, you can get even closer to the laptop experience with the trackpad support in iPadOS 14. Now on the iPad Air 4, you can use the trackpad. For cursor control and multiple gestures, so a keyboard clipboard with built-in trackpad is perfect. Of course, if you’re browsing the web, watching movies, and maybe crushing some emails, all you need is a cheaper keyboard without all the bells and whistles.
Our main recommendation is the Apple Magic Keyboard. We know it’s pricey, but it really is the ultimate iPad keyboard case. The cantilever design is sleek and lets you choose viewing angles, and the trackpad lets you do many things quickly, like switch between apps and access the app switcher.
If you want something more affordable, the Logitech Folio Touch is a great choice for your iPad Air 4. The full backlit keyboard allows you to type anywhere or at any time of the day. No need to worry about the tedious pairing process.
