Bumper or case that works with MK?

I am upgrading from a M4 13” Pro WiFi to an M5 13” Pro WiFi/cell.
I mostly use the magic keyboard, but there are times I’d like to remove it from the magic keyboard and use it as a true tablet.

Is there a case or bumper I can add that will also fit while using the Magic Keyboard?
I’d prefer not to remove the case just to stick it back in the keyboard.

I had a case at one time, I forget the brand, that was supposed to work with the magic keyboard, but it just didn’t fit right. Is there such a device that would fit my needs?

Edited: 8/31/26 the new Pitaka does work with the Magic Keyboard!

Pitaka makes cases like that. The bottom edge will always be uncovered because of the fit at the hinge area.
 
Pretty sure the Pitaka is the one I had before, and it would not fully close with the magic keyboard on it. I think I returned it.

May try the Spigen.

I’m not looking for a case that goes around the magic keyboard.

Pitaka modified the design to fix the closure issue. I had both before and after and the new version closed completely on my Pro. I broke it when I dropped the iPad (without the MKB) but the iPad came out unscathed. I may get another for my 13" M5 as they just released an update for it.
 
Only review I can find says it won't close. It was from a year ago.
Pitaka's web site sayd it will close.

I ordered one. They did verify they did an update.

Nice. Please do come back and report on your thoughts on it when you have a chance to use it. I like them because I find the bare iPad to be too slippery for my hands that are affected by tremors.

He's looking for a case for the iPad that's compatible with the Magic Keyboard, not a case for the Magic Keyboard.
 
So I can't see that the iPad is alone in a case that can then be placed magnetically with a case in a Magic Keyboard. Look at the above from Pikata, that's what he's looking for
 
Take a look at the video. The video is for the limited case but it is the same for the regular on. If go to the links I posted before both videos are on the individual web pages. The iPad attaches magnetically to the Magic Keyboard and the Magic Keyboard slides into the case on one side and attaches on the keyboard side. True if you remove the iPad from the case you will not have protection from a case.

I think we're talking past each other. I don't want to talk bad about your case, it's nice. But it is not a case that can be used alone with the iPad. It is a case for the Magic Keyboard where the ipad can be inserted naked. But he is not looking for that. He is looking for a case for the iPad that can be put together in the Magic Keyboard. Otherwise he probably wouldn't have bought the case from Pikata, which fulfills exactly this purpose. Hopefully everything is said now.
