Zagg Pro Keys is a keyboard case for those who want to use their iPad as both a slender tablet and a laptop. There are versions for the new iPad Air 4 and iPad 8.
In addition, the Zagg Pro Stylus debuted on Thursday. It sports two tips, making it a competitor for the Apple Pencil as well as basic capacitive styli.
Plus, Zagg unveiled the Messenger Folio 2 as a lower-cost keyboard case for the iPad 8, iPad 7 and last year’s iPad Air 3.
Zagg Pro Keys converts an iPad into detachable 2-in-1 tablet/laptop
Add a keyboard and an iPad can be both a tablet and a laptop. Zagg Pro Keys fosters both, as it’s a protective case with a removable backlit keyboard.
As a case, it wraps around every side of the most recent iPad or iPad Air, providing 6.6 feet of drop protection. And there’s a slot for an Apple Pencil. The keyboard is a separate piece, attaching with magnets. It’s also a stand offering two viewing angles.
Zagg Pro Keys for the seventh- and eighth-generation iPad 10.2-inch Apple iPad is available now for $99.99. A version for the 10.9-in. iPad Air 4 will launch in November for $109.99.

Zagg Pro Stylus lets users take notes, sketch, swipe, mark documents and more. It stands out from rival styli by offering two tips. The active tip is for writing and drawing, while a capacitive tip is for swiping.
Unlike an Apple Pencil, it doesn’t offer pressure sensitivity. But it does have tilt detection. It is compatible with apps that support Apple’s stylus. And it clings to the side of the iPad with magnets, though it charges through USB-C.
Zagg Pro Stylus launched Thursday. It costs $69.99.
Zagg Messenger Folio 2 makes an iPad into a notebook
Zagg Messenger Folio 2 offers a simpler, cheaper option than the Zagg Pro Keys. This one is a case with connected keyboard that attaches to the iPad. It includes laptop-style keys and an Apple Pencil holder.
This case builds on the original version released earlier this year.
Zagg Messenger Folio 2 for the seventh- and eighth-generation iPad, as well as a version for the 10.5-in iPad Air 3, is available now for $59.99.
