Enjoy!! The 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are great phones!

I haven’t gotten a chance to check out FLOLAB’s screen protectors for the iPad Pro M4, but I do have a screen protector on my M4 11 inch iPad Pro currently, the ZAGG XTR3 tempered glass screen protector, and it fits fine with the Logitech Combo Touch.😊

Thanks, Mauricio!! Really appreciate the support!

Hi Ivan! Greasy smears are always a problem for Kevlar and Aramid Fiber cases, and unfortunately the AirArmor Aurora case is no different. It is slightly textured…basically the same as the ArmorPro and it will have the same issues with showing greasy or oily smears.

Thanks for your helpful information!

It is the one big downside of the Aramid Fiber/Kevlar material. It looks great, feels great and wears well, but it does show greasy smears. And I think that textured Kevlar, like on these Benks cases, does a much better job resisting smears as compared with the smoother aramid fiber you will see on Mous cases, for example…

Thanks a lot for detailing information!

🤗

Hi @cljoe35! Nice to hear from you, and thanks for the suggestion. I’ve read about the Click keyboard case …it does sound cool. Do you have it?

@@TheTechReviewer hey thanks. Yes I do have it.

@cljoe35 Awesome! And you are loving it? It’s not too bulky?

@@TheTechReviewer it’s a thin case but it’s a very long case. Not bulky though.

Cool! Thanks for the info!!

Hi Jacob! Both the 5k and 10k versions of the ArmorGo MagSafe battery pack are great…they are a little wider than other MagSafe batteries that I had reviewed, but the difference is slight and they still fit very well on both the 15 Pro and Pro Max phone sizes. The extra width allows them to be slimmer…especially the 5k version. It is the slimmest MagSafe battery that I have ever seen…definitely an instant favorite of mine!

And glad to hear that you are loving your AirArmor Aurora case!!

@@TheTechReviewer thank you

Happy to help, Jacob!!

Thanks, Ari!! Which do you like better: the phone case or the power banks?

If you were looking for a slimmer feel, I think you made the right call. The rugged case is significantly bulkier than the Sport case.

The Aramid Fiber ArmorGo 10K? I just published a review here: ua-cam.com/video/rn2yCUaajwQ/v-deo.html

That’s sadly true, but it’s not Benks’s fault. Kevlar/Aramid Fiber has a big fingerprint problem. And the texture on the Benks cases does help lessen fingerprints and greasy smears. It is superior to smooth Aramid Fiber cases such as the Mous Limitless…

I think it is very similar, but not quite as good as the Magic Keyboard trackpad. For me, it is perfectly fine, but if you are a heavy trackpad user, you may notice a slight difference.

No experience with the Mothca, but I have the ZAGG XTR3 tempered glass screen protector on my iPad Pro M4 11 inch and it fits great…

Thank you!!! 🙏🙏

You mean the iPad Pro M4 13 inch? I don’t know. I only have experience with the 11 inch. But with the 11 inch, it closes only so so. There is no strap to keep things securely closed, and the magnetic attraction is not that strong…

Thank you so much! Appreciate the kind comments and the sub.😊 It’s a really good keyboard case for the M4 iPad Pro…hope you love it!!

This was just a gorgeous product. I used my old 9.7 inch iPad Pro for many years and this case was such a pleasure to use! I'm also eager to see what Vaja comes up with for the new iPad Pro M4!!

It's true...it won't tip. But it has a much bigger footprint...

It is certainly a bargain in comparison with Apple's Magic Keyboard...no question there!! Do you have the Ascend, @lockdown11b? Or planning to get it?

Mous makes some great stuff! How has the bamboo fared over time? Any issues?

Hi Alicia! Lovely to hear from you! It's a good question, but I don't have an answer for you, unfortunately. Like many people, I was a bit put off by the finewoven lineup from Apple. I checked out the finewoven cases in store last fall and was quite underwhelmed. The material didn't feel premium or particularly durable. However, I didn't check out the wallets. You may be right that durability is less of an issue for a wallet as compared to a case, though... Hope you are having a good summer!!

No idea...I'm guessing it would depend upon the kind of sleeve? I don't have any Apple Pencil Pro sleeves, so I haven't tried that. Sorry to be less than helpful!!

Hi Sean! So, Apple Pencil Pro works well with the XTR3 overall, but when drawing diagonal lines, they are not completely straight, unfortunately...a common issue with tempered glass screen protectors for iPad.

Yes! It connects via Bluetooth 😊

@@TheTechReviewer thank you

Happy to help! 😊

I would love to, but I don’t have that phone. So sorry!

Outstanding!! Hope you love it!!!

I hear you...it was puzzling to me at first as well. So, the reason why the Ascend is able to pack so much more in terms of functionality into its keyboard and trackpad area than the more expensive Rebound is because of the design of the stand. The Rebound uses a cantilever design that is very similar to Apple's Magic Keyboard. It's really cool, but because the iPad Pro hangs over the keyboard a bit, it results in less space overall. With the Ascend, the stand design is different, and leaves the keyboard/trackpad area completely open.

@@TheTechReviewer Except for Apple just came out with a Magic Keyboard with a function key row. I think the real reason is that Apple owns the patent for a cantilever design with function key row which they won’t allow third party manufacturers to do yet.

So, two things: 😊 1. Apple's Magic Keyboard has a better cantilever design than the Rebound. There is more flexibility in terms of the angles you can put your iPad Pro in. 2. The ESR Rebound Keyboard case for the 13 inch iPad Pro M4 has a function key row...with the additional space that the 13 inch model gives you, ESR was able to squeeze in a function row...

I hear you…lovely case, but crazy expensive!! 🤣

Thanks, Mary!!! It's an outstanding product for iPad Pro M4. Noticeably lighter weight as compared to the Magic Keyboard as well (and makes less of a dent in your pocket!!) 😊

Thanks, Mary! The AquaStand is kind of a strange concept when you first hear about it, but I find I use mine a lot. If you are in the habit of carrying around a water bottle, and you switch to the AquaStand, you'll find it very convenient to have a small tripod and phone stand always with you as well. 😊 Appreciate the loyal support as usual...hope you are having a fabulous summer!

It is a fingerprint magnet, for sure! Unfortunate. But I find that they remove relatively easily with a microfiber cloth…

I don’t think the clear backed Rebound Hybrid is likely to scratch your iPad Pro. And the Shift is not much softer in the interior…any lining there is exceedingly thin. The real risk for scratching with either case is getting dirt or dust trapped inside the case, in between the iPad and the case. That’s what can cause scratching.😊

@@TheTechReviewer Thank you!!

Happy to help, Hannah! 😊

Thanks so much for your kind words!! So happy you are loving your XTR3 screen protector!!

Not in my experience. The stand feels very stable.

@@TheTechReviewer Great, I am using 2020 ipad pro and the logitech combo touch can’t stop wobbling while using apple pencil. Glad they improve it.

@Derek123488 what kind of surface is it sitting on? And angle?

@@TheTechReviewer any surface, glass, desk, whatever. It wobbles at any angle except zero, I mostly bend to maximum angle it can reach, and it still wobbles to an extent that I can’t bear. It is a common problem in the previous generation of Logitech combo touch as I saw a lot of similar post in Reddit

@Derek123488 So sorry. I’m sure not seeing it with my M4 11 inch Combo Touch😊

It’s my favorite keyboard case so far. For me, it ticks a lot of boxes: I love the fact that you have more protection for your iPad Pro both when you are using the combo touch in keyboard mode and without. I love the fact that you can easily detach the keyboard from the rest of the case. I love the fact that the case still allows you to have a stand even when the keyboard is detached. And I love the fact that it uses the Smart Connector, so pairing and charging aren’t necessary. The lighter weight is a great feature as well. Is it worth the $229? I think it depends upon whether you really need a keyboard case for your iPad Pro. If you do, then I think it is well worth the price. But if you only rarely need keyboard functionality, then a cheaper non keyboard case might be a better choice…

Fabulous great value great review as always 😊

Yep! It's a great addition to the iPad Pro, for sure!! Thanks for taking the time to comment, Mary! ❤️

Unfortunately, no!! I haven’t found one yet!

That's really unfortunate, hope your reviewing journey will eventually find one! Do update us if there might be any. On a side note, after a bit of usage, I started noticing that when keys are pressed (ie. when you might be typing or using a shortcut), the trackpad seems to get "cut off" for Rebound. I tested similar usage with MK, MK trackpad/cursor continues to run/perform as expected. Is that something that you have experienced as well? Thanks for getting back with all the questions! There aren't a lot of reviewers or others that have both to help compare and confirm these, really appreciate it.

@jingseow so, you mean that the trackpad becomes briefly unresponsive when the keyboard is being used?

⁠@@TheTechRevieweryep, and it does not seem to happen to MK. Like I could be typing or using a shortcut with my left hand while till moving around with my right on the trackpad. For Rebound, the trackpad would not be active/responsive, not sure if it is related to bluetooth vs direct connection?

Interesting. I tested that out and found the same result as you. I think what you are experiencing may be related to ESR designing the trackpad to not accept inputs while the keyboard is in use to eliminate issues with palm rejection. Just a guess, though!

You make some excellent points, Leigh. Thanks for sharing! The secure closure of the Rebound Hybrid is definitely a pro. I think the best case for iPad Pro is going to depend upon individual use and preferences. I don’t tend to take my iPad Pro out and about on a regular basis, so the secure closure is less of an issue for me, for example…

Hi Chris! Thanks for sharing your M1 Combo Touch experience. Of course I don’t have any long term use data so far on the M4 Combo Touch, but the case section for the iPad Pro fits beautifully so far, and doesn’t show any indications of future warping tendencies. This is my first time reviewing the Combo Touch, but it is my understanding that they made some big changes this year…I know this year’s version is much lighter weight, for example. Hopefully the issues you mention with the M1 case won’t be a problem for this year’s model. Have you tried contacting Logitech about the warping on your M1 case? It seems like the sort of thing that should be covered under warranty…

So sorry! It’s true that I have a lot of experience removing phone cases, so I’m not exactly typical!! Which phone model of SolidSuit are you trying to remove? Some years are harder than others. But in general, it is definitely easier to start with the bottom corners rather than the top corners. Slip off one bottom corner, and then the other, and the rest will come off easily…

@@TheTechReviewer got an ip13 as my first ever ios device the lady in the store where i bought the case did the same thing, she took the case off like it was nothing lol.

I think part of it is probably nervousness that you are going to somehow hurt the phone when taking off the case. I know when I got my first iPhone (6 Plus), I was really nervous about everything. But I can tell you that as a case reviewer, I put on and take off tons of cases and have yet to damage an iPhone. They are tougher than most people think.😊 Good luck!!🍀

@@TheTechReviewer I got it out! thanks for the tip and you're right, i was just afraid that I might break phone and did not hehe

Thanks for the update! Totally understand the feeling!! Glad you got your phone out 😊

Hi Kristi! I think that is partly cat dependent…some kitties have messier digestive issues. Also, making sure you keep sufficient litter inside the globe is really important so that the urine and feces have enough litter to absorb them so they don’t stick to the interior. Finally, I think that litter quality is important. Litter Robot recommends clumping clay litter, and I have found Tidy Cats Unscented to be the best for my cats. Hope this helps!!

Thank you!! Appreciate the comment. Are you convinced one way or another in favor of the Combo Touch versus the Magic Keyboard?

@@TheTechReviewer I think so, yea! I think the fact that it has a detachable case from the keyboard while the Magic Keyboard leaves the iPad “naked” when not in desktop form is what is the main reason for me. But in general, to someone who the “premium feel” isn’t much of a factor (I’ll be going to university!), the Logitech seems like the better deal. That being said I probably won’t be buying the iPad Pro, let alone accessories for a couple months lol

There is a lot to love about the Logitech Combo Touch...it is my favorite iPad Pro keyboard case so far. As far as waiting a few months, that might work in your favor. Hopefully by then, you might be able to get the iPad Pro and accessories a bit cheaper on sale. Maybe a Black Friday sale, if you can wait that long... Thanks for watching, and have a great weekend!

Hi Manan! So sorry, but I don’t have any experience with that case, so I don’t know…

@@TheTechReviewer please make a review of that case and also test this screen protector with it...

@Manan_Agrawal056 Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll see what I can do…

Good question! No elevated landscape mode with the Rebound Hybrid case…

Hi Tony! Sadly, there is no mix and match compatibility with any of ESR's cases and keyboard cases, as far as I've been able to tell. Disappointing! But I think it has to do with the positioning of the magnets that is required for the cases to perform the various tasks they are designed for...

@@TheTechReviewerthanks for the info! That’s what I’ve heard on another video as well. Such a missed opportunity!

@tonycicerone it is super frustrating. Whenever I’ve received a new ESR iPad Pro accessory, I’ve tried to see if it has any compatibility with my other ESR accessories, and so far I have found zero compatible accessories.😢

Hi! Yes, you can fold the keyboard of the Ascend all the way to the back of the tablet and hold it that way. However, I really wouldn't recommend it. There is only a small amount of magnetic attraction in this position and the keyboard won't be held strongly against the back of the iPad Pro inner case when it is folded back in that position. Plus, the keyboard will continue to be operational in that position (registering inputs), so it is generally a bad idea. But please keep in mind that with the design of the Ascend, you can remove your iPad Pro from the keyboard section of the Ascend and use it in its magnetically attachable/detachable inner case when you don't need keyboard functionality. It's a nice little case...has a pleasant hand feel and gives you basic scratch and bump protection for your iPad Pro. Plus, holding your iPad Pro in the inner case is much slimmer and more pleasing than trying to hold the iPad Pro in its inner case with the keyboard section folded to the back. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!

@@TheTechReviewer Thanks for the detailed response 🙏 I just subscribed

@mythicalism1468 Thanks for the sub! And happy to help. Also, I was curious about your question after I tested it on the Ascend case, so I tried it out on the Logitech Combo Touch case whose review I just finished and which will go live this Friday evening US time. With the Combo Touch, you can fold back the keyboard all the way to the back and it sticks magnetically much better than the Ascend does. It also stops registering inputs. However, just like with the Ascend, I question why you would ever want to do that, because you also have the superior option of simply magnetically detaching the keyboard, which works much better. 😊

@@TheTechReviewer Hi, the reason why this feature is useful for me is as a student whose commute is around 2 hours daily in a usually packed train, is that I wouldnt have space to keep the detached keyboard anywhere if I want to use the ipad in a handheld mode, and besides it also gives me a sense of security knowing I won't lose it the 400 dollar keyboard haha. Also as I have to move around a lot in between classes and whilst I do have space to place my ipad down, our workspace is already cramped enough😆😆😆

You make an excellent case as to why that feature is needed!! So, check out my review on the Logitech Combo Touch, which goes live at 5 pm Eastern Standard Time Friday. It’s an excellent keyboard case and it might meet your needs very well!!

Sadly, no. There is no mix and match compatibility between any of ESR's iPad Pro cases, at least as far as I've been able to ascertain. I think this is because the magnets have to be in different positions to have different capabilities. So sorry!!
