Logitech Slim Folio Wireless Keyboard Case for iPad 7th, 8th and 9th Generation

Ill be honest, the price of this Logitech Slim Folio keyboard case put me off buying for a long while but reviews of other much cheaper alternatives were a concern. I was also troubled at being unable to get a definitive answer from Logitech - is it or isn’t it compatible with the new iPad 8th generation (2020) that i just bought? The description says for iPad 7th generation. However, the chassis of the iPad 8 is identical to iPad 7, so logically it should work....and I can confirm that it does, despite Logitech eventually declaring it isn’t compatible! The case is on the chunky side but very sturdy and very protective. iPad 8 fits it nicely. Bluetooth pairing is very easy...simple instructions are provided...and the keys are nicely spaced and highly responsive, with iPad keyboard shortcuts like home, volume, brightness, etc. When closed the iPad is automatically turned off and protected from the keys through great design and rubber seals. iPad wakes immediately the lid is opened and, when typing, is held in place by really firm magnetic attraction, linking automatically. Extremely sturdy without any chance of slipping while in use. If anything its a bit of a tug to free it once in place. It can also be rested on top of the keyboard if not required, of course. So all in all, I’m very impressed, despite the cost and despite Logitech’s compatibility denial. You do get what you pay for and this is worth every penny in my opinion. And, backed by a 2 year warranty.

Edit Feb 2022 We are now on our third one of these because after a while the keys fall off. The first lasted 6 months, the second one 9 months. All has been covered by Logitech’s warranty though with full replacements so I’m not out of pocket; their customer service has been excellent. I still like it but not sure if I would actually buy another as for the money I’d like something more durable. —- Very impressed with this. The keyboard feels unexpectedly solid and sturdy to type on- much like a regular Mac magic keyboard If I’m honest. The iPad side of it is held in place with a strong magnet that locks it into position and is held very securely. It’s not so great for typing on your knee like a regular laptop as it’s back/heavy, but on a flat surface (even a lap tray) it’s very stable. You basically just flip it open and the whole thing works straight away- no waiting for it to link up or anything. And the screen powers off automatically when you close it. It’s also constructed so there is a gap between keyboard and screen when it’s closed so you won’t cause wear and tear on the touch screen. The pen holder is a loop of vinyl which also accommodates the Logitech Mac Crayon. Doesn’t seem flimsy though so hopefully that should hold up. Altogether I’m really impressed. Especially as there’s a dedicated home button on the keyboard which makes it feel and work like a touch-screen laptop. Altogether works really well for my son to take to school as he can use it for typing, and then flips the keyboard behind when he uses it as a digital notebook with the Mac crayon, or as an e-reader. He even stuck the apple sticker on the back of it which looks pretty integrated. So impressed. Plan to buy this setup again for our daughter as she will also need to be tech-ed up for her school in September.

It’s not perfect, but it is amazing. I purchased this back in June 2022 and it has continued STRONG. No issues with it at all, the battery ran out about a year ago and I very easily replaced it with a battery I already had at home. The only reason I have had to retire it is because the Ipad broke! The keyboard has outlived the ipad! I would absolute recommend this if you are looking for longevity and durability. I can confirm that this keyboard has been through spills and drops and scratches and bends and has survived/thrived through them all!

Excellent item for turning the iPad into a mini laptop. I was looking for a case with a keyboard and decided to buy this pricier item over the cheaper generic options found elsewhere on Amazon. The keyboard has a good typing action and I found that I can touch type really quickly. There is plenty of travel (certainly relative to my MacBook). The keyboard only switches on and connects when the magnet clicks into place which is good. Closing the ‘lid’ puts the whole system into sleep mode which is handy. I also have the Logitech ‘crayon’ which just about squeezes into the flap at the top - though it was clearly designed for the official Apple Pencil. As others have noted it’s not exactly slim and does add weight and heft, though maintains the small ipad footprint, so easily fits into a bag. There is only one viewing angle and it’s a little unstable on the lap (though putting a book underneath steadies it nicely. I’d happily recommend as it does add functionality to the ipad and seems reliable and well made.

Really good quality. A little expensive but it does have very clever Bluetooth technology and good power usage

I use this in meetings rather than hiding behind a bulky laptop. It’s the perfect size and allows me to take notes as well as having my meeting prep right in front of me. Connection to the iPad is fast and seamless.

Fits well and a quick and easy connection had me up and running in no time

Plus points: 1. Makes the iPad like a mini laptop. 3. Good quality keyboard (apart from space bar, which feels cheap and fleamsy). 4. Protects from all sides like a book case. 5. Claimed 4 year battery life, which I doubt, but time will tell... Minus points: 1. Makes the iPad almost as heavy and thick as a laptop. 2. Allows only one magnetically fixed position, therefore it's awkward to use as freely as other multi positioning keyboards. 3. No backlight, so it's impossible to use in dark environments. 4. Quite pricey at the end of the day, (more than €100!) as I was charged with VAT, oddly enough, despite the fact that it was sent from a European country to a European country!

Slim Folio kupiłem w październiku 2022 i po 9 miesiącach intensywnego używania na uczelni do pracy biurowej mogę zapewnić, że jest to naprawdę dobre etui. + Poręczny, kompaktowy i smukły design + Klawiatura wygodna do pracy biurowej + Sprawdza się jako podstawka, kiedy ogląda się filmy Jednak jedyną wadą jest to, że "schowek" na rysik jest zrobiony z materiału i z czasem może się trochę poluzować (przez co Apple Pencil może się przesuwać albo i nawet wypaść).

I have had it for about 6 months. One button has fallen off and a trim strip is falling off. Thought it would be better.

I bought this keypad case so that I can start taking my iPad with me when I go out and about and work on some blogs in cafes etc. I did my research beforehand and found that this particular brand was consistently rated amongst the top 10 iPad keyboards you can buy (and usually no.1). I’m very happy with my purchase, it was easy to fit my iPad into, it connected via the Bluetooth easily and feels very secure when I prop the iPad in the correct position to use the keyboard. The product feels high quality and is comfortable to use. I also appreciate that it has a holder for my iPad pencil. Overall I’m happy with my purchase and would highly recommend it.

Product conforme, qui peut transformer l'iPad en laptop

Erg veel plezier van dit kwalitatieve sterke Logitch produkt. Stuk goedkoper dan Apple en minstens net zo goed.
