Mallard Green or Electric Orange photo request

Those of you with the smart folio, do you use the magic keyboard too? Do you finish switching between the two cumbersome?

I do. I really liked the look of the orange smart folio. So I got both.

I don't find it too cumbersome switching because you can easily just pull the iPad off the back. Unlike other cases that provide protection, but involves you 'snapping' in the iPad or 'snapping' it out. That would be cumbersome after a few times. Which is why went with the magic keyboard.

If the Magic Keyboard allowed the iPad to be pushed forward over the keys, for me it would remove the need for the folio as I'd possibly have a more stable easel/form to draw with. Or even another presentation form that hides the keys while I watch a movie or present something.

I have both the magic keyboard and a folio. My setup is I see the magic keyboard as a dock, it always has power connected and I dock the iPad and use the keyboard for work, this always ensure that the ipad is charged. I then use the folio when I’m reading, casual web surfing, watch movies. Then the iPad is in the folio.

I find it‘s ok going from one to another.

I’m the same as this. White magic keyboard and navy smart folio. So easy to switch.

Just so you know the Mallard Green folio is dark teal not the leaf green I expected. I have packed it for UPS to return and re-ordered the "Shocking" Orange for a change. TBH I have only ever bought red & navy smart folios, I will be selling last year's navy along with the 2020 iPad Pro 12.9. Out with all things slightly old 🙃

For what it’s worth I ended up ordering both. First the orange, but I found it too kind of terracotta rather than (in my mind) a ‘nice’ orange like my vitamin c watch band. Kind of made me think of a roof tile…
Once I’d seen the green was actually dark teal (it really is, google dark teal and the images that come up really sum up the colour compared to the Apple store shots that make it look for more green as others have said) I decided to give that a whirl. Before sending the orange back (first time I’ve ever sent anything back, really impressed by the service). I took some shots of them together (on the floor under indirect window light one (seems to make the orange look more red than it was) with my old 2020 ipp and one with new 2021, both silver) in case they help anyone deciding. Also one with the vit c band.
