Harry Potter-Themed iPad Accessories from eiP
Review sample provided by Lemeng International
Lemeng, a company based in Taiwan, has just released new Harry Potter themed accessories for the Apple iPad. And these are official Warner Brothers licensed products. Due to licensing agreement, these accessories are only available for sale in Singapore, and the purchase links are below.
These accessories are obviously made for Harry Potter fans and I happen to be one.
Keyboard case
This is the Marauder's Map keyboard case. Price is 2790 TWD (USD 85 | SGD 116). From what I can see on their website, these are the supported iPads for the keyboard case:

- 11-inch iPad Air 6 - 2024
- 11-inch iPad Air 5 - 2022

It seems the 13-inch models are not available.

The cover is made with PU leather with nice texture, and features the design for the Marauder's Map with the words "I SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT I AM UP TO NO GOOD" on the pen flap.
The back is a faint design of the map. There are cutouts for the power, speakers, mics, USB-C port. Volume buttons are covered.
The keyboard features Harry Potter-ish font. Keys have good travel and the firm typing experience is good. The keyboard is well made and does not feel cheap at all.
At time of writing this review, I've already used the keyboard case for several weeks and it works really well, and is very satisfying to type on.
Keys have backlight and you can choose (using the Hogwarts key) from four colours: red, yellow, blue, green.
The keyboard has internal battery and charging is through USB-C. Bluetooth connection is needed for pairing (Fn + C)
One downside of the keyboard is it's gonna make the tablet noticeably heavier because after all it is a keyboard case. They keyboard is 400g.
The silicone case, 170g, protects all four sides of the tablet and attaches to the keyboard case with magnets, and hence can be removed.
Since the keyboard is Bluetooth, you can use the keyboard far away from the tablet, such as when the tablet is on a stand or when you're using Stage Manager with dual display.
Pen sleeves
Next we have the Elder Wand pen sleeve and the Hogwarts house pen sleeve. Price of the Elder Wand pen sleeve is 934 NTD (USD 29 | SGD 39) and the other is 424 NTD (USD 12.9 | SGD 18).
The Hogwarts house pen sleeves are available in four colours: red, blue, yellow and green for Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin.
I like the packaging which almost like how the wands were stored in Ollivanders wand shop in the movie.
It doesn't really make sense to write with the Elder Wand holder attached since that's quite heavy, so the design is mostly for the look than function. This Elder Wand has the same design language as the one shown in the movie, but it's not the same design since it's an accessory here.
Thankfully, the Apple Pencil still supports charging and pairing when attached to the iPad Pro/Air.
Sorting hat
The Sorting Hat is priced at 934 NTD (USD 29 | SGD 39). The hat and the pen holder stand are made with plastic. Now it would have been really cool if the hat is made with cloth.
The Sorting Hat attaches magnetically to the pen holder and can be detached to fit the back of the Apple Pencil (with sleeve), and it looks quite cute.
Availability
These accessories are only sold in Singapore due to licensing agreements, and are available from Amazon Singapore:
