Has anyone seen a picture of the Magic Keyboard folded up and used as cover like the current folio keyboard? I am trying to determine how bulky it is to carry around your iPad with this on.

One thing I noticed is that it adds to the width of the iPad and that with it on my 12.9 iPP, it would no longer fit a couple of carrying cases I have. From a thickness perspective, it looks about the same as the current keyboard case, if only marginally thicker.

That is something I didn’t think of. The zippered case I have is deep enough to fit my iPad with the Pencil attached so it depends on how wide the hinge is, whether it will work with the new Magic Keyboard.

Looks like from the pictures that it would add about 3/8" in width.
