BEATON, Cecil[150] pp.
B.T. Batsford Ltd.
1943
9" x 6 1/8"
First edition of the award-winning photographer’s account of his months as a WWII photographer for the British Ministry of Information and Air Ministry, with over 45 pages of black-and-white photogravures featuring Beaton’s images of desert patrols, the wreckage of enemy planes and his portraits of figures such as the Queen of Persia and the seven-year-old King Faisal II of Iraq.
Early in WWII Cecil Beaton, celebrated for his portraits of celebrities such as Greta Garbo and renowned as the official photographer of the royal family, was commissioned by Britain’s Air Ministry and Ministry of Information to undertake the challenge of photographing the war in the Middle East. In the months leading up to Tobruk and El Alamein, amidst news of battles with Rommel in the desert, Beaton traveled across Iraq, Palestine, Syria, Egypt, Iran, North Africa and Portugal. This first edition of Near East, with over 45 pages of photogravures after photographs by Beaton, is accompanied by his engagingly modest journalistic account, and features his images of soldiers in the field, blistering sandstorms, the shattered wrecks of enemy planes, desert patrols and holy sites in Jerusalem. Beaton’s exceptional skill as a portraitist is seen in his images of the Queen of Persia, the Emir Abdullah of Transjordania, and in his image of the seven-year-old King Faisal II of Iraq, who, Beaton writes, “enjoyed changing the films in my camera.” The king would be assassinated at the age of 23 in 1958. Knighted in 1972, Beaton also achieved renown as a writer, artist and as an Oscar-winning costume and stage designer.

Very Plastic Feeling and WILL Scratch or Break Your Screen Eventually
Color: Pine Green
TL;DR: (To Long Didn't Read)
Keyboard: Really Flimsy Plastic, Comes in DIRECT Contact with Screen, WILL Scratch and or Break Screen
Case: Makes iPad Fatter and Bigger than a normal Business Folio, outer layer has nice rubber feel, When
closed it does not turn off your screen.
I have the Magic Keyboard for my New Ipad Pro 11 inch M4 and my largest complaint is that you can't fold it down and use it in "normal" Tablet mode.
I wanted to get something that would let me keep it in a case and use it in a flat mode to draw or play games. I stumbled upon this and was super excited. It has a wireless keyboard and could fold in a lot of ways.
I was WAY WRONG. The keyboard is nothing but cheap hard plastic and is very flimsy and comes in DIRECT contact with the screen which will eventually either scratch or break your screen. When closed and folded it makes your SUPER THIN tablet larger and thicker than MOST Business Folios. It also does not turn your screen off.
I will give this product 2 stars because the case itself feels really good on the hands. They used a rubber material that Apple uses on their Smart Folio Covers for their iPad. Also, the product idea itself is amazing just very poor build quality and not protection for your screen. I guess that is what you get for your $30.00

Great product!
Color: Dark Cherry
Was nervous after reading reviews but I have had zero issues with this product. I actually really like it and have gotten so many compliments on the color and versatility of it. The charge on the keyboard lasts so long and the led colors are super fun for those late night study sessions or homework cramming. The case also works great on its own without the keyboard, k like that it wraps around the iPad completely.

Good quality case with a good price!
Color: Pine Green, Color: Pine Green
I love this case!
I have used the case forever now, I wanted something to cover my screen when not in use I have had my iPad in my purse or in my car my kids have handled it and my iPad has stayed in perfect condition.
I just started using the key board. I don’t like how flat the keyboard is but it’s a good keyboard when comparing prices it does what it needs to! The magnetic closures are strong! I have some off brand pencils but have not tried the slot that holds a pencil yet but looking at it I can see how it could hold a pencil better than a Samsung tablet I have does as the case to that one the slot is on the outside and does not hold the pencil well.

Great case and keyboard
Color: Light Pink, Color: Light Pink
Omg. I LOVE this case and keyboard. It works so well and makes my iPad seem like a computer. It’s connects really well and I love the keyboard colors! I’ve been using it at work and it has been so great on saving notes and writing emails using the keyboard etc. And it’s very sturdy!

Made well but function is challenging
Color: Dark Cherry
I’m not so sure I really like this over all. The keys on the keyboard are nice, not mushy at all, very clear and functional. And the size of the keyboard is fine. It’s not full size and I didn’t expect it to be. But what I can’t get used to is how floppy the rest of it is. It won’t sit well in my lap, it must be on a flat surface to function at all. I find that very frustrating. The grooves that prop up the ipad won’t hold it if you move it at all. The keyboard must be unattached, moved and reattached to close up everything securely. Also it is heavier than I expected.
The quality is good. It is not cheaply made. The color is just what I wanted and expected from the description.
I’m giving it four stars instead of three because it is made well, but it’s mostly form over function.
Edit: I returned this product and ordered a keyboard with the swivel holder for the ipad, much sturdier and steadier.
