Hi

My brand new Apple Smart Keyboard for the 10.5” iPad Pro has minor cosmetic issues (wrinkles) around some of the lower left keys. I don’t think it has any impact on the performance of the keyboard itself, although it feels like the space bar needs to be pressed a little harder than it should. Does anyone else have this issue?
Apart from the minor cosmetics, I’m worried that the keys are not completely sealed and not fully waterproof. Is it worth getting it replaced from Apple?

Thanks

Smart Keyboards are not waterproof– the fabric is water resistant to some degree but don't consider it waterproof. My keyboard is a bit more than a year old and it has a few of those wrinkles but not as many as yours does.
 
I got some of those wrinkles on my Smart Keyboard
If yours is brand new try to exchange it
