@baronbar Thanks for an amazing guide. I can’t wait to use it. Thing is I can’t find nylon washers anywhere here in South Africa… would the same metal washers work? do they have to be nylon? Thanks.

Least satisfactory Apple product I have purchased. Stopped working after a year. So I just used it as an expensive smart case. Then find out about the defect replacement program. Sent it to Apple and was told they wouldn’t fix it because the seam had started coming apart on the bottom left part of the corner next to the keyboard.

I have ironed the the case a few times and it made the keyboard work perfectly. For about five minutes.

And then I have to put up with endless annoying, screen-hogging “USB Accessory Unrecognised” errors - sometimes up to twenty of them. All requiring to be clicked.

If anyone can find a fix for this, I’d be grateful.

My fantastic fabric failed too - but Apple would not replace, because a tiny piece of the side seam had come undone. Like not replacing a screen because there is a scratch on the battery cover. Smart Keyboard has probably taken two years off my life.
