    Is there such thing as a keyboard case for a normal iPad ???

    I know they were brought out recently for pro version.
    I cant imagine it to be a problem as its only bluetooth connection ??

    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    Do you have an iPad already? If so, what version is it?

    All the latest iPads work with smart keyboards - no pairing or charging.

    If you have an older iPad with no smart connector then you connect with Bluetooth and charge the built in battery or it might have a single use battery. Belkin, Logitech etc have options. (One example)

    Any keyboard that uses Bluetooth will pair. If you want a keyboard case there’s loads on Amazon just make sure you know what size it is before you pull the trigger.

    It uses Bluetooth 4.0 so any bluetooth keyboard should work. Just depends if you want a case and keyboard built in for lots of typing or a standalone one for occasional use.

    Once the iPads is working correctly, then yes. If buying from amazon you will have easy returns till January 31st.

    Only issue once paired could be seeing the virtual keyboard on the screen.
