REVIEW – If you’ve ever used a MagSafe stand or accessory with an iPhone, then you know how convenient and secure that system is. Apple uses similar magnets in their iPad Pro lineup for their own proprietary Apple Keyboard, and this means that third party accessory makers can create things to utilize this system as
