Magic Keyboard / Coverage and care
More than black
or white.
A keyboard skin changes the finish you see when your iPad is open and closed. Choose the correct body, the right pieces and a material you will enjoy using.
Begin with the keyboard skin selector. If the exact keyboard name is uncertain, use our keyboard identification guide before choosing a finish.
The keyboard model matters more than the tablet name
An iPad can be used with different compatible accessories. A skin needs to match the keyboard's actual size, version and exterior, not just the tablet currently attached.
Our range includes dedicated 11-inch Pro M4/M5 keyboard skins, 13-inch Pro M4/M5 keyboard skins and an 11-inch Air keyboard listing, alongside earlier products in the selector.
Smart Keyboard Folio has separate listings. Do not choose a Magic Keyboard product as a substitute simply because both accessories fit the same screen size.
Body, Trackpad or both?
The checked 11-inch Pro M4/M5 customiser offers Body, Trackpad and Body + Trackpad. These labels describe the available decorative pieces, not a promise that every kit covers every surface.
Body refers to the keyboard-body sections shown in that product's preview. It does not mean applying vinyl over keys, connectors or moving joints. Trackpad is its separate surface piece, included only when selected.
A trackpad skin changes the texture beneath your fingers. Decide whether that is part of the look you want, rather than assuming it will feel identical to the uncovered surface. Review other keyboard products independently because their options can differ.
Full Colour or a custom contrast?
Full Colour gives a coordinated finish across the supplied pieces. Custom lets you select the available sections and their compatible finishes.
One simple option is a patterned body with a plainer trackpad, where those choices are offered independently. Another is to keep the keyboard quiet and make the Pencil the contrasting detail. The product preview is the place to check the combination you are actually ordering.
Textured Matt provides low-shine colour; Carbon Fibre and Brushed Metal create different surface effects. Wood, Leather, Onyx and other printed choices offer alternatives where listed. Pattern placement can vary between cuts.
Choose the look while it is open—and while it is closed.
What will it protect?
The vinyl puts a replaceable layer over the surfaces it covers. It helps with light scratches and scuffs there, but does not protect uncovered keys, prevent liquid entering the accessory or repair a damaged keyboard.
A sleeve or suitable protective cover can have a different role when carrying the setup. See our cases versus skins guide for the distinction between surface wear and impact protection.
Prepare the keyboard separately from the iPad
Detach the tablet before cleaning the keyboard, as described in Apple's cleaning guidance. Use the care instructions for the actual material and let the intended fitting surfaces dry.
These coloured and textured skins are dry fitted. Do not transfer a wet-installation method from clear phone film to an iPad keyboard. Keep preparation products away from openings, keys and connectors.
Align first. Press second.
Use your supplied instructions and our installation help. Identify each piece on its backing, place it against the intended reference edges and check the overall position before pressing firmly.
Smooth progressively rather than trying to stick a large section down at once. Air-release channels on suitable finishes help air escape, but do not compensate for trapped dust or the wrong template.
Do not stretch vinyl to close an intentional gap, bridge a hinge or trim it on the keyboard. Use gentle warmth only where the instructions call for it and never overheat the accessory.
After fitting, check attachment, opening, closing, typing and any selected trackpad coverage. The keyboard should not need to be forced shut. A fit or function problem is a reason to stop and contact us, not press harder.
Complete the look without confusing the products
A keyboard skin does not include a tablet or Pencil skin. Use the iPad hub and Pencil hub to select each one separately.
Our matching setup guide suggests coordinated and contrasting combinations. The Pencil model guide helps choose the actual accessory before choosing its colour.
Magic Keyboard skin questions
Does Body include a skin for every key?
No. Follow the sections shown in the product preview. The Body option is not a set of keycap stickers or a silicone keyboard cover.
Can I leave the trackpad uncovered?
Choose a configuration without Trackpad where it is offered separately. Check the selected pieces before ordering.
Can I use an iPad skin on the keyboard instead?
No. The tablet and accessory are different fitting surfaces and require their own products.
Is removal guaranteed to be risk-free?
No such blanket promise is appropriate, particularly on worn soft-touch material. Follow the product warning and removal guide, and peel slowly rather than pulling sharply.
