How are you finding your ipad battery life when using the magic keyboard? maybe because i was gaming a little bit, felt like it went down a tad quicker than normal.
Not as quick as man city champions league final hopes 😜😂😂😂

Also, I’m glad I found my people’s thread. This is the combo I went with.
Question, what method is the easiest method to opening up the MKB? It is a bit of a hassle to open when using it as a “laptop” so I’m curious if anyone has any recommendations.

Hold it upright, hinge touching a flat surface and open the lid 😃
How you finding the magic keyboard so far, I’m really enjoying it so far, kind of gives you a taste for what a macbook pro with 120hz promotion would feel like, so smooth and quick. 😍
Honestly, the battery drains faster than my 10.5” iPad Pro w/ Smart Keyboard. I attribute much of that to the Magic Keyboard and not the M1 given it’s energy efficiency.
Also, loved seeing Chelsea do it!
Maybe a software update can make it drain at a slower rate when the magic keyboard is attached.
When you guys aren’t using your iPad, you putting the magic keyboard with iPad inside folded screen side down or up?
putting mine screen side down, doubt anything will happen to the screen being face down, the magic keyboard case is heavy though, could it be putting pressure on the screen being face down?

Same here, find it easier to open the magic keyboard, instead of always having to flip it over to open it.
Anyone else got a faint line running along the back of their iPad where the magic keyboard bends at the bottom in landscape mode?
Can‘t be bothered taking back my iPad, since it’s only noticeable in certain lightning, guessing it’s the case rubbing at the back of the iPad when it bends back.

Already had to replace my first iPad, the back was damaged straight out of the box.
Can’t be bothered returning anything anymore 🤦♂️😂
Since it’s only visible in certain lighting, no point going through the return process again.
For me, Space grey ipad and white MK remember me the look of sony PS5. a touch of modern and fresh technology… what do you think?
Now that we are beyond the 14 day return period (if you bought on launch day), is anyone interested in trading their 11” white magic keyboard for a black? I have a black magic keyboard that I’m going to get replaced via AppleCare+. They’ll provide a brand new one, but before I unwrap it I wanted to see if anyone was interested in trading colors. If interested DM or reply and we’ll talk.
Sad to hear you want to switch! I originally was in the Space Grey/White Magic Keyboard camp, but switched to Black. I think the aesthetic is so much nicer. Nonetheless, go for what makes you happy!
When I finally get my refund from Best Buy, I am ordering my second 2021 12.9” iPP in Space Gray this time and not Silver like the first. I really don’t like the Silver and I dig the Space Gray IPP/White Magic Keyboard aesthetic. Like it was stated earlier, it looks very 70s retro futuristic. I am going to love it! Hell, I’ll just be glad to have another iPP in general really. Been without one since not yesterday, but the Friday before that. 
Best Buy freaking sucks!

I’m really looking forward to it. Love me some Space Gray!
Here is a little teaser while you wait 😍I’m really looking forward to it. Love me some Space Gray!
So are you keeping it or returning it?
I’m not seeing as much battery drain as you are?
Most likely going back, when i’m using the keyboard a lot, that’s when I’m noticing the most battery drain.🥺
no issues when using trackpad.
I’m also noticing a major battery drain with the keyboard. However, i do tend to use my iPad at max brightness but regardless, it seems to drain much faster with rather than without the keyboard connected.
Jealous of all of you who already have them. My SG 12.9 iPad Pro and white MK is arriving Monday evening. I'm excited.
