Like many musicians these days, I use my iPad Pro 12.9 to read sheet music. I just put the iPad on my music stand and use a bluetooth pedal to turn pages. Works great and you don't have to haul a lot of music scores around.

BUT because of where the charger port is on the iPad, you have to turn it upside down (in portrait mode) to charge while playing (say if you're practicing at home).

For my non-music iPad Pro 12.9 (yes, I have two iPads) I have an Apple Magic Keyboard. This charges the iPad while in use. The iPad sticks magnetically to the "lid" of the keyboard and charges through the iPad's rear contacts.

I need someone to make just the flat "lid" without the keyboard. Then I could attach this to my iPad, place it on the music stand, and plug a charge cord into it via the charger input that's on the hinge of the magic keyboard.

If you're a manufacturer, you need to know this is the coming thing among musicians, especially classical musicians who play from sheet music all the time. Invent one of these things and the world will beat a path to your door, causing you to become as rich as Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates. It is not required that you get a divorce after several decades of marriage, but, like them, you'd be able to afford it.
