Great replacement to my Logitech Air 2 keyboard. BUT shame no magnet strip to help retain the Ipad to the keyboard. If they use the same strip as in the hinge strip it be brillant.
I have ordered some 0.7mm thick self adhesive strip to try the modification out.
I will repost with the results.
Meanwhile I have emailed Anker with the idea.

Got any pics to show us what you mean Peter? Sounds like a good mod to have though.
My Logitech iPad Pro Keyboard case has a magnetic strip too. It makes a big difference.

I have an old Logitech Air keyboard and has that mag strip. If @Peter41 can’t takes I can upload a few… Let me know if you want to see it.

Bought some magnetic strip similar to fridge magnet labels. Not strong enough which was evident just by hold the business card size magnet to the edge of the ipad.
So i strip my old logitech down which use small magnet chips 3mmx4mm and less than 1 mm thick. I cut double side tape through the Anker channel and using tweezers lifted them from one to the another.
Top pic the gutted logitech. Bottow pic the installed version showing the small magnet chips.
RESULT: my ipad and Anker keyboard stays together when i lift it by the pad.

Further Update;
The approach was not great and i ordered some 5x2x0.5mm neodymium magnets from magnetexpert.com I then discovered the magnetic edge on the ipad alternates N-S every few mills. Therefore if the small additionals magnetics are place incorrectly this will repel as well as attract. By simply placing the magnets on the ipad i could reveal the “opposites attract” pattern. With double sided tape in the keyboard channel i managed swap the magnets from the pad to the tape by inserting the pad.
A length of tape over the top to hide the sins.
Now the pad is retained just like Logitech!
