I just picked up an iPad Pro and the regular keyboard folio, and I'm really torn. Don't know if I like it or not. I find it's a hassle to flip the keyboard back around to close (when I've been holding it like a tablet) without inadvertently detaching the whole folio from the ipad.
I may have fat fingers. Or maybe I'm just used to folios I have used in the past that actually latched physically around the ipad.
But I'm completely with you, either way, on the value of the trackpad. Not worth $300 to me.

It's a little odd to get used to flipping the keyboard back around to close, but I've found that you get used to it pretty quickly. I almost always keep it propped open using one of the two grooves in the keyboard, even when I'm just using it as a tablet. It's nice to be able to rest it upright in my lap.
I would like to get this because it adds a trackpad, but $300 for a keyboard case is a bit too high, even for an Apple product. The fact that I'm even considering is goes to show just how much I use my iPad Pro in a variety of situations. It was a far better investment than my 13" Macbook Pro.
