Quality product with 2 major improvements in comparison to the first edition I bought from you: an integrated touchpad and backlit keyboard. Both live up to my (high) expectations. The touchpad works quite smooth and ads usability especially when you are working with the keyboard. The backlit keys are now really usable in dark surroundings as the letters of the keyboard are translucent whereas the backlit function of the first edition only had the light seeping through the bottom of the keys and did not reveal the letters. A pity is that the colour of this bottom light now is blue: I would have preferred white light. The rainbow light possibillity is not for mee. The backlit function turns of automatically after about 8 seconds of inactivity: saves battery. My first edition was a swivel model of which the small hinge broke off after three years of intensive use. That is why I have decided to go for the non-swivel model. The maximum aperture is 135º which is sufficient for convenient looking at the screen. The earlier model tipped over when opened too much.

This keyboard/touchpad/case is fantastic. Set up was easy. Keys feel nice. If there were a column where I would deduct points, it's the right Shift key: one must adapt to this key being half the size of your average Shift key (or the same size as the qwerty/12345 keys). I also wish there was an easy way to turn off the touchpad gestures. If I move my mouse pointer to the left in my RDP session, I'm suddenly whisked to the app I was using prior to RDP.

The keyboard case appears to be well made and functions perfectly turning an iPad into a small desktop. This is the second keyboard case I have bought because the first one was faulty. It was too tight on the iPad rim and that caused the screen image to roll uncontrollably. However I liked it enough to report the fault to Gold and Cherry and accepted their offer of a replacement at half price. If this replacement replicates the previous fault I shall simply grind the enclosing case lid down a fraction thus making it marginally larger. Gold and Cherry did not want the first case returned so I have two to work on if that modification proves necessary. I type a lot using Microsoft Word and find no limitations with the small keyboard. It suits me fine.

Thanks

Very nice product, easy ordering and quick shipping.

There are a lot of features that "interfere" with normal keystroking. I am having to learn how to work around or with them. Overall, it is a keeper and I'll likely order another one for my second ipad

I bought the keyboard case for my 4 year old iPad. As soon as I ordered it, I thought, what if my iPad bites the dust and this new keyboard won't fit a newer iPad. Sure enough a couple weeks after receiving and attaching the keyboard my iPad quit working! However, I had insurance through my cellular carrier and they are sending me a duplicate iPad - so my new keyboard will still fit! I really like the feel of the keys when they are tapped, the color of the backlighting and the substantial feel of the material the case is made out of. I am glad I purchased this keyboard!

Excellent quality Keyboard and case - exceeding expectations. I was wary of the $129 price but see that it is quality befitting the price. I like the color too. Easy set up and use - a little heavy but since it's not plastic......

This case is proving to be a ‘best buy’! It’s significantly increased the use ability of my tablet; seems very well made; and is (reasonably) good value for money. Delivery was prompt. Only downside is I can’t connect my 2tb storage device, but that’s a failing of the tablet, not the case. Thank you for your service.

It fit perfectly

Nice!!

Great customer service. Great products.

Purchased the case to replace another keypad without a trackpad. I’m finding the trackpad a bit sensitive but that’s me. I’m not used to it. I’m adjusting the settings to find the optimum setup for me. Other than that I love the lighted keyboard as I often use my iPad in low light places. The case is sturdy and holds the iPad firmly at the angle I like. Getting it out if the case is a little difficult but I don’t think I’ll need to take it out very often if at all. Over all I am happy with the purchse.

I love the keyboard with the backlights and that its easy to use.

Awesome! This is an amazing tool. And my iPad actually stays charged now!

Fits perfect. Glide pad rocks. Worth the cost.

Easy ordering and arrived when expected. Lovely colour (rose gold). Exactly what I was looking for. Would recommend

Exactly what I required and looks good.

Nice sturdy keyboard with keys that are easy to type with. Pleased with purchase.

Thought I was getting a replacement for my case that broke. The swivel hinge on my old one snapped on the ipad side. The new one does not swivel and only opens about 95 degrees. Not what I thought I ordered. It works soo…..

I have bought several of these I pad keyboard cases in various sizes and just love how the case turns your I pad into a mini laptop. Extremely strong and sturdy so protects your precious I pad. Lovely touch when typing on the keyboard.

I recently sold my iMac pro and was looking for a replacement when I saw the Gold & Cherry ad on Facebook. I decided to give the touchpad keyboard a try for my Ipad Air 2 and now have all I need, it's just like having an iMac with the bonus of a touchscreen. The keyboard fits perfectly and has all the functions you would expect of an attached keyboard, the build is good quality and excellent protection for my Ipad. I haven't needed to replace my iMac pro yet and wonder if I will. Well done Gold & Cherry

Well made, love it and will recommend to peers.

Just one little niggle when using the iPad in Dark Mode, it is very difficult to see the trackpad cursor. Is there any way to change the colour to white rather than grey?

No more clumsy emails or texts Embarrassing moments a thing of the past

A perfect accessory for my iPad 6. Love the functionality! Fast shipping too.

After I got used to the sensitivity of the pad it was easy to navigate. Still learning the end and out but I think it's a great addition to my iPad. I just have to remember that the pads on my Mac and iPad are very different. I love it for what I do!

This is my third unit and thus far the best. Fast access to keyboard. The mouse pad works as advertised, and the battery is terrific! I recommend this to anyone who uses their iPad as a computer away from their physical computer.

My fourth G & C Keypad/Case. Best yet, with highest quality feel of all of ‘em. It replaced one I had not had the greatest experience with. But Gold & Cherry showed they’re concerned to try and make things right. But the last one had been sub-standard. This one feels good and we’re getting on fine after 3 weeks to get used to each other.

It’s easy to use.

The trackpad works perfectly as advertised and provides me a very portable hard case for my travel needs.

Great product. Just what I needed.

I searched and searched for a new computer for my small business and decided to try out my iPad with a trackpad and so glad I chose this one. I absolutely love it and it does all I need it to. Will definitely buy these products in the future!

I initially had a problem with the new keyboard in that I couldn’t get my iPad out of the case. Even my husband and son couldn’t do it. Your suggestion of sliding a stiff card into the side did work, but not easily, it was still a struggle, and I managed to snap part of the casing, although it doesn’t affect the working of it. It made me very reluctant to use it again, but eventually I tried it by not clicking the top of the iPad into the casing, and that has worked. I’m pleased with it, apart from this problem.

I find the surface very slippery, do you have something that would make the outer shell a little more hand held friendly, I like to sit and read with the unit and it slides out my hand quite often. Still getting use to it but love the key board, thanks, good job.

The quality of the product is very good i like to be able to type from a keypad instead 0f using the on screen one . The background lights are just right. It all so protects my expensive i pad from damage thanks for the speedy delivery from the USA. Thanks Stanley

The backdrop is old growth rainforest in the Daintree in far North Queensland Australia where average humidity daily is around 90% . This case is impressive

I had an Apple key board and this is much better

Very impressed, I thought I had done my normal trick of buying something on line and it being a con, but this is, so far, great. I like being able to type properly and although I'm still learning all the finger store techniques I'm really happy I've bought it. Thank you.

I like, but don’t love, this keyboard case. First, it has a slick surface so when using it on a hard surface it moves around. On a slightly slanted surface it can slide off. (Twice on an airplane!) I installed four rubber stick-on “feet” on the exterior of the keyboard section to avoid this! Second, the keyboard doesn’t activate when you open the clamshell unless you turn the power on or press a key! My previous one did that! Slightly annoying but I’m getting used to it! Third, it doesn’t use the iPad as its battery source. It must be separately charged (my previous one pirated power). On the plus side, the keyboard is comfortable to use and the trackpad makes it seem more like my laptop! This one is made of quality materials whereas the one this replaced had some better functionality but was made of flimsy, cheaper materials! I may get to like this better as I use it more!

This is my second one for my iPad, love the key board and how easy it was to pair it up.

The case is fantastic and I love using the keyboard. Feels like I am using a laptop. Would thoroughly recommend.

I never thought I would go back to a proper keyboard again after using an iPad for years, but the Gold & Cherry Smart Case keyboard has changed my mind. It took a little getting used to but now I wouldn’t be without it. After buying one of these, I bought another for my wife, and she loves hers too.

I have written this before, but since you asked, the cover on this beautiful device is TOO SLIPPERY! It slips on my lap and I have to be careful when I carry it. I am looking for something I can put on the cover that won't look unsightly. Otherwise I love it! Earlier, I had purchased a ZAGG Folio Case on eBay for $17.49 which has a great cover. Learning how handy these keyboards were motivated my to lay out the bigger bucks for your product. Now I am caught between. You overall quality is suburb but I do not like the fact it is slippery.

it's a great help with longer facebook replies and when doing crosswords online. i like the QWERTY layout very much. i still haven't figured out the specialty keys. and for some reason i end up moving away from the text i'm typing with no idea how to get back to where i was.

Everything functions as it is supposed to. The hinge shows no sign of loosening the metal surfaces are easy to grip with an etched surface texture that also cleans easily. The key pad works as advertised. The only change I would like is a white led backlight rather than a blue led backlight. My eye rods and cones have not adapted to the increase in UV percentage in ambient light from the sun, so having a blue backlight actually makes seeing the keys more difficult.

I like it very much turns an IPAD into a mini-computer one fault I have found when in case no slot to insert a Data Sim, it's covered up.!! ps Can you give any tips to get the I Pad out of the case easily mine seems very tight, worried about damaging the IPAD

My iPad is now a MacBook, typing is so much easier and the trackpad and curser are great to use. Love it!

I love the ability to type like I’m on a computer !! The lite up keys are a help but have a tendency to do the rainbow effect and not stay the same color. ( my grand kid thinks that’s cool lol) The color rose fits perfect with my I pad. I’m all together satisfied.

Very happy with it.

I love this keyboard and cover. It is the best setup I have purchased on line.

I do like the concept. However I would like to give some constructive criticism. 1. It is difficult to open due to imbalance with the IPad being heavier than the key pad. This means the ability to open the device is restricted to placing it on its back edge to open. Ther is still a risk it could slip out of your hands. 2. The body is very slippery on a surface. It requires some non slip material on the bottom to anchor it to the spot it has been placed. It may be possible if it is anchored sufficiently this, by default could rectify the opening issue mentioned earlier. Hope this is helpful

Much easier to work with documents without the keyboard blocking half the screen.

My iPad was just an iPad but now it is the bees knees and very professional. All l need now is the adapter unit for downloading pics from my mobile. My next purchase.

This the second iPad keyboard case I have bought recently. First one without the swivel. (Pink). I’d didn’t fit my new iPad so bought another one. I thought only the swivel one was available so ordered that. It’s great. Very sound. However very heavy. Still love it but have a lot to learn. I’d like an instruction booklet for basic use. Service/delivery etc was great. Thanks. Jackie.

Really turns my iPad into a laptop!

It actually does more than you expect it to!

Initially I was disappointed in the product but now that I am more used to it I like it very much, it has way more features than I really need but better to have and not use than not to have them at all. If I may, the fit is so good that i have quite a struggle to remove my iPad when I need to, maybe something can be done ? I also find it more than need be to actually open the iPad from closed, could be these old arthritic 81 year old fingers aren’t as nimble as they could be. Enough of the whining, a very good product, excellent after sales service, Thank you, Anthony A. Moore.

I like the way it looks and feels but I keep loosing the cursor and have to tap the screen to reinsert it. That is very annoying, otherwise very happy.

It was much more inexpensive than buying a Mac Book. I really enjoy my tablet more.

This keyboard/case makes using my ipad much simpler, especially when I need to type a response or message.

Would most certainly purchase again.

great piece of gear in use every day

Beautiful and for the most part this is a great keyboard! YEAY! mousepad ....The left hand palm rest is very sensitive and does not allow the palm to 'rest' without affecting the input. Other than this I do love all! It would be great to have some type of 'bumper' on the bottom for non-skid..... One of the highest quality keyboards I have owned - (Others - Zagg and Logitech)

Still small but easy to use and take with me!

Great having a “proper” keyboard tho not all emoji functions are available

Lighter weight than my previous case yet very sturdy. One small glitch, which turned out to be operator error. Contact with customer service by email was easy and response was quick.

I ordered my gold and cherry iPad cover/keyboard several months ago. It arrived quickly, and it was exactly what they advertised it to be. It’s very functional, protects my iPad, as well as being a great add onto my iPad, turning into a mini MacBook . The instructions that came with it were simple and useful, from connecting the iPad to Bluetooth, to setting keyboard functions such as back lighting shortcuts and special keys. Gold and cherry asked me to write a review. I am so pleased with this purchase that I immediately decided to write a glowing review. I would recommend it to anyone looking for this type of addition to their iPad. My only suggestion on The 9.7 inch model would be to add a USB port. It actually makes using the iPad a lot more fun. The pricing was equal to or below what other covers charged for their product, some of those keyboards. What can I say? It’s a winner!

fast shipping 8 days only highly recommend good product.. I've using it for one month and I've not charge it yet.. very good connectivity is flawless highly responsive keyboard

Fast delivery, good quality product, very satisfying ! The pencil even works with my iPad mini !

Make the copy on the instructions big enough to be read.

Excellent product! Perfect for my ipad! Thank you

Recommend to anybody. Works very well. Seller is in touch always. They have a good dot system for picking your order. Thank you.

I find this item very easy to use. Love not having to switch screens to type in numbers. Being able to adjust the volume so easily is another plus. I’m loving it. Norma

I absolutely love my key pad for my IPad I purchased from Gold &Cherry. The service I received was awesome and when I had a problem setting it up I E-mailed them and got a reply straight back on what to do.It was my fault. The packaging was very secure and good delivery to New Zealand.

This company is just about impossible to contact, customer service is slow to respond, phone number to contact them: dream on. Should have bought from the competition !

Everything works great

A big improvement over the iPad screen keyboard. I like the positive feel of keys that move and it also holds the iPad screen at the right angle for working. Good product.

I bought the case for a specific purpose: to allow me keyboard enrtry of data into my ham radio logging program. It serves that purpose perfectly. Although the logging program allows for soft key entry it is not nearly as convenient as a hard entry keyboard. The case adapted to tabbing and spacing just like I would expect from a much heavier laptop computer. For the purpose I bought it, it rates an A+. Now to some objections. The case more than doubled the weight of my iPad. It became cumbersome and hard to pick up with one hand. Part of that problem I attributed to the particularly slippery finish of the case. Attempting to use my fingernails resulted in an easily scratched surface. I missed the lightness of the iPad even though it had an easy grip finish. Next was the problem I had with the clamshell form factor. When not being used as as a logger the whole tool seemed awkward. For general iPad uses I tired of the case quickly. Having said that I spent my money well. For use as a ham radio contact logger this conversion simply could not be better. Using the IOS system allowed me to use Ham Logger 73, a standard laptop program which saved me from adapting to an untried and more limited app. My favorite feature was the USB rechargeable battery that powered the case itself which made it easy to read at night. That is handy for the demands of working in the dark at dawn and dusk, prime time for the hobby. Thank you for providing a good product. I will admit that I waited for the most attractive price as I questioned the initial investment. All’s well that ends well. I will not use the case all of the time. I already have a laptop but it will serve my need for a lightweight familiar accessory to my favorite hobby. MikeinMinnesota N0WDM

If you are used to a Macbook Pro and iMac at home, office or on the go, this smart case for you iPad Air will be a perfect addition. It changes your iPad in a very convenient small laptop with almost the same functionality as a notebook. The only drop-down is the weight of this combo. I would preferred a lighter version.

...working with the keyboard is easy and works very well. It's a pity that the key arrangement doesn't quite match Apple's German keyboard.

So very pleased with my key board the best thing i have bought to go with my new iPad well recommend it fast delivery and was easy to set up

Couldnt work without it

The case was very attractive and did a good job of protecting my iPad. My problem was the cover did not open wide enough for me to work for extended periods. I stopped using it. Thank you.

I thought the Ok and feel of this product was very nice. It looked like the quality Apple would make. My problem was after using the keyboard for several months, the keyboard got “confused”. Almost like the the signals were crossing. I ended up looking at videos if anyone had these problems and asking some of my computer guru friends if they had experienced this problem to no avail. I ended up throwing it away thinking what a waste of money the product was.

I like the color, how the keyboard is set the keys are perfect. One I can not turn the battery off when I am not typing, Two it is heavier than I expected. Everything else is fine.

Works great!!!

Ordered the 10.5 for my IPad and it fit and works as advertised!

It would be nice to have the hinge swing 180° so you can use it without the keyboard.

Love ❤️ my premium smart case for my iPad. I forget where it is at times because it does not look like an electronic anymore it is much nicer now. It fits very well in the case really snug so no worries of falling our. It is comfortable and easy to use. I did Put a large mouse pad on the table just to keep it from sliding when I work on it, that was just a minor thing for me though. I do get a lot of compliments on my case and the keyboard works great. I may end up getting the tray for the mouse. That may make it work better. However, if I had it to do over again, I would absolutely do it again, as I said earlier - I love ❤️ this case.

This product satisfied my search to replace my netbook. I loved the small size, portability and battery life of this Long lost product. Combining my iPad and a keyboard with a fully functional trackpad is the ultimate better replacement for such. After receiving the update about the iPad accessibility option the trackpad came to life. Combining my sixth generation Apple device with this Super keyboard is a device with most everything I need. Great product.

Works wonderful

absolutely perfect
