ClamCase+ Power for iPad Pro 9.7-The Top iPad Keyboard Case Gets Even Better-It Charges Your iPhone!

When I reviewed the ClamCase+ for iPad Air 2 last fall, I was exceedingly impressed and entitled my review ‘World’s Best Keyboard Case’. Well, with its new ClamCase+ Power, ClamCase has improved on a fantastic case design to make it even more appealing. Like the ClamCase+, it features a backlit keyboard, convenient function keys and a 360 degree hinge that allows you to position it in an almost unlimited variety of angles, from keyboard to stand to tablet. However, what the ClamCase+ Power adds is a 6000 MAh battery that can be used to charge your iPhone, other USB charged devices, or even the iPad Pro itself. 6000 mAh is quite a bit: it is enough to charge an iPhone 7 two and a half times. This large battery capacity also means that the ClamCase+ Power has a much longer battery life than previous ClamCase generations. Finally, the exterior of the ClamCase+ Power now has a soft touch finish that is pleasantly grippy and feels great in the hand. Overall, it is an impressive case indeed!

Pros:
360 degree hinge allows you to move from closed, to various keyboard positions, to flipped backward into stand modes, to a flat tablet. Keyboard automatically turns off when case is placed in a stand and tablet modes. Versatile and extremely easy to use.

6000 mAh power bank that can be used to charge your iPhone or other devices that charge via USB. Large enough to charge an iPhone 7 two and a half times over.

Bluetooth 3.0.

Easy to pair.

Large battery size gives this case 1000 hours of uninterrupted use with the backlight off, 120 hours of uninterrupted use with the backlight on, and 2 months of standby use.

Backlit keyboard, with various brightness levels.

Numerous function keys for things like privacy, home screen, foreign language or emoji keyboard, onscreen keyboard, search, Siri & keyboard brightness, as well as the typical volume and media controls.

Charges with included micro usb cable. A full charge takes about 3 hours.

Auto sleep wake.

Easy iPad insertion and removal.

Great hand feel, with a soft touch finish on the polycarbonate and aluminum shell. Gives a nice amount of grip to the case.

Cons:
Case feels protective overall, but has no mil-spec certification or drop height rating. There is also basically no lip around the screen for protection.

Not surprisingly, the battery adds some degree of thickness and weight to the case, in comparison with the ClamCase+. However, the increase is pretty minimal and this case still feels great to use.

The ClamCase+ Power for iPad Pro 9.7” is available directly from ClamCase and Incipio, as well as from other retailers, and has an MSRP of $159. It comes in a single color: black. Many thanks to the kind folks at Incipio for sending me out this product to review.
