iPad magic keyboard wear and tear - looks bad after less than a year

Yes I realised that thanks. I was asking if anyone else had the same experience. Nonetheless next time I am in an Apple store I will take it with me as Apple have been known to exchange if they feel its a genuine situation. I think though my main point is that for US$300 you expect a better quality build that can withstand being carried in a computer bag daily and being sat on a desk daily - these are surely normal use scenarios.

Well that’s would help for sure. I think my wear is from the daily in and out of the computer bag. My only point here is that apple should look at these comments and make this product a little more enduring, perhaps corner reinforcement / thicker materials on the corners, and on the ends of the spline and this would be an amazing durable product.

LOL - absolutely not, no kids or pets anywhere near it. That is wear and tear with no assistance from outside sources !! Its only on the top part (the side that sits on the desk / table / lap and both ends of the hinge.

Thanks., I think my point, having had and enjoyed (and promoted) Apple products for many years is that this particular product seems to wear much more quickly than other iPad accessories (made by Apple) I have owned and currently own. My question is whether there are others out there who have had the same experience. Hopefully the new iPad magic keyboard rumoured for next week might be more robust on the outside and if so I’ll be amongst the first to buy it for sure! I also should say that this is by far the best case / cover / keyboard I have experienced and I absolutely love it. Just wish I wasn’t thinking I about replacing it after less than a year because of the wear.

Wow impressive. Makes me wonder if mine was defective in the first place or maybe you are super nice to it. I slide it into and out of my computer bag daily, but theres no way its been treated badly. I have bought a skin now from Sopigard which is great and has made it look so much better.
