But no keyboard folio case? I mean that’s my go to… I have a magic keyboard for my 12.9 2-18 IPP, but use the keyboard folio whatever it’s called case every day, daily, all the time. Lighter, smaller, just what I need. Not having that, or only having it be some third party is a bummer.

Yeah, this one hurts a lot. The Magic Keyboard doesn't address any Pencil use scenarios; it's purely to turn the iPad into a laptop. Not making a keyboard folio is a massive oversight and I hope a third-party company steps into the void.

Is it still screen cover-side down when propping your iPad on a table?

U know, the felt part that covers the screen? Is that the part that comes into contact with the table surface potentially covered and crumbs and other abrasives? U know, the part of the folio that then picks ups said abrasives and proceeds to rub them into your iPad screen once folded closed?

When will the insanity end? ;_;

No Smart Folio keyboard, no care. I much prefer its lighter weight and smaller footprint vs. the Magic Keyboard. Big miss IMHO. I have a MacBook and don't want to turn my iPad Pro into a laptop. Guess I'll keep the 2022 12.9.

So the "thinnest iPad ever" has the folio that adds bulk to both sides of the iPad, like the folio for the iPad 10? ? I hate this design choice.
