Well I’m thinking I’ll be able to easily pull it off the MK and use it as a tablet with just a skin on the back. I never liked flipping the keyboard folio back and using it that way when I had my other one.

I imagine doing this too.
I’m interested in what you think about the MK for the 11”, whether it’s great or you feel it’s a bit small. I have the MK on order for the 12.9”, but I’m worried that I’ll think it’s too bulky and heavy for the 12.9” or whether the typing experience on the 12.9” will be worth it. I’m likely to leave the MK for the 12.9” at home and just take the 12.9” to work, so I’m wondering if the 11” with MK would be better as I’d me more likely to take the combination to work.
 
Which skins did you purchase?

I got a set from decalgirl. This is my first time ever to order skins.

I thought you had decided for sure to keep the 12.9.

i know the size of the keyboard will be fine for me. I had no issues with the Smart Keyboard for the 11. im just not sure if I’m gonna like the keys and typing experience as much, but if I don’t, I’m gonna get another Smart Keyboard and plan to do the same thing (just pull it off the keyboard) when I want to use the iPad in my lap.

go with the combo you're most likely to use the way it works for you - it's simple. If the 12.9 doesn't work, then it doesn't work.

Yeah, I did decide to return the 11”. I love the size of the 12.9” at home but the 11” for taking everywhere, so it’s a matter of weighing up those points to see which way I’d prefer to go. I basically ended up returning the 11” so as I didn’t get buyers remorse for keeping it if it wasn’t going to be my main iPad as my 10.5” still suffices as that for now. Sometimes I am convinced that was the right decision still and other times I think ahead to when we return to more of a normal work routine and I think that the 11” would be better in that situation. So I still have the 12.9”, yes, but I’m yet to see either size with the MK. If the 12.9” with MK seems overly heavy or bulky then I might return the 12.9” MK and opt for the 11” with MK. Just looking around and reading opinions on each for now as that’s all I can do until my 12.9” MK arrives.
