Hi,

I'm about to buy an iPad Pro 10.5. I thought I'd just get a Smart Cover, but a retail chain in the U.K. is offering £60 off a IPP, ASK and Pencil bundle. This makes the keyboard only £50 more than the Smart Cover.

Most of the time I'd just be using it for note taking with the pencil, web browsing and media consumption. The keyboard is for occasional use. However, I was worried it was more 'flimsy' in use than the cover - especially when folded back on the iPad. I'm not too worried about this £50 price difference.

I wondered what your experiences were? Is it more fiddly to hold in place when reading in bed, etc? I'm conscious it'll be a tiny bit more bulky, but am just thinking about the overall experience of holding it day to day.

Many thanks!
