I bought the Slim Combo for the 10.5 and have used it for a couple of weeks. It's a nice keyboard and it's backlit, which I prefer. I also like the top row of command keys. Using the keyboard to type anywhere except at a desk/table isn't very comfortable, but I don't need to use the keyboard in my lap so it works for me. If it didn't disconnect from the case I wouldn't like it. The reason I chose this as my case, over the very limited selection that was available on the release date, was because the kickstand is very versatile. I used the Logitech AnyAngle with my iPad Air 2 and really liked that it is completely behind the iPad and that it could be maneuvered into any angle. This one is very similar, but it isn't the width as the iPad 10.5 as mentioned in the article. I don't like the case to jut out in front of the iPad while I'm using it, as so many folio cases do. I don't like how thick/bulky it is with the keyboard attached so I don't carry it attached. There is a tall lip as mentioned, however, it hasn't interfered with my use of it, not even with the pen. I wasn't opposed to buying the Apple keyboard, but unfortunately they didn't have a case to protect the back of the iPad and I don't like to use mine without one. I don't use the loop at the top to carry my pen because I have a rubber sleeve on the pen that makes it easier for me to use. It adds to the grip and eliminates the slippery feel. It also makes it more balanced and not as top heavy. This probably isn't the case for everyone but if your angle is important to your enjoyment of your IPad, you want a cast to protect the back, and a keyboard, then you might like it. The one thing that would make it even better would be if a Smart Cover fit on the top to protect the screen when the keybroad isn't needed. The Apple Smart Cover connector, at the top, is about 1/4 of an inch too wide on each side. Otherwise, it actually lays right on the glass and the case doesn't interfere with it.
