I like it much better than the Belkin Qode I have on an older iPad due to the Logitech's more rational keyboard layout.
Unfortunately, the Belkin Qode puts some commonly used punctuation marks into odd places - the Logitech puts them in the expected positions and doesn't require a function (Fn) key to access them.
Pluses and minuses:
+ iPad 2017 (probably 2018 too) plus Logitech Slim Folio => great cafe/travel laptop. Bright multi-angle IPS screen, thin, light, compact, super battery life. Nothing else competes in this combined price range ($249-$329 for the iPad itself, depending on Black Friday sales, plus $80 or so for this Logitech).
+ iPad "Apps" are cheap compared to full-blown Windows/Mac applications, and there are a lot more of them filling some pretty specialized niches. Between the standard 32gb of the 2017/2018 iPads, and the fact that most Apps save their data "in the cloud" instead of on the iPad, a modern iPad can have more useful apps on it. Word Mobile is free, Google Docs is free and outstandingly multi-platform, multi-device, and auto-syncing. Android should compete in this tablet space, but it dropped the ball.
+ Main conventional laptop competition is an 11.6" Chromebook, maybe an 11.6" budget Windows 10 laptop. They have vastly inferior screens for video watching.
+ The browser and App experiences on a 9.7" iPad are GREAT because most web pages, web apps, and certainly iPad Apps are optimized nest for the 9.7" iPad because it has been around so long and Apple has sold so many. The screen is easy to see, read, and use, even though only 9.7".
+ The Logitech Slim Folio fixes the one iPad 9.7 user problem: the onscreen keyboard that obscures most of the screen when in use, and isn't easy to type on anyway. Did I mention autocorrect typos?
- & + The Slim Folio doesn't have a trackpad - because the iPad can't connect to one - but has arrow keys to save you some frustrating screen tapping.
- The Slim Folio inevitably "fattens up" the iPad. Can't be helped, just keep it in mind. It works much better after installation as a mini laptop than as a tablet.
+ & - Other reviewers have complained about battery life on the Slim Folio.I haven't had problem. Setting the iPad into typing position automatically turns the keyboard on and off. The "watch" style batteries should be sufficient given modern low energy Bluetooth technology. Even if you have to replace them more often than Logitech's probably optimistic estimate, an 8 pack of the 2032 batteries is just $2.99 at Ikea, 2 or 3 go for just $2-$3 from Amazon and other retail outlets. I prefer watch batteries, which haven't started any known fires, vs. rechargeables, which sometimes fail in spectacular fashion. I think TSA and airlines are happier with old-style single use batteries too.
+ Turns itself off automatically when keyboard cover is closed, or keyboard is folded to the rear for tablet mode. Goes into sleep mode..eventually.
+ Screen angle is ok for typing and casual video watching, not perfect for serious video watching unless you prop the keyboard front up. But then, the keyboard is active and battery draining, so better to fold keyboard to rear then hold the tablet or prop it up on the desk...or buy that cheap 8-pack of Ikea replacement batteries.
- Can't use rear camera when keyboard is folded back. But you can work around this by leaving it in laptop mode or turning sideways and holding it like a book.
- Keys are not waterproof or backlighted. But I only see backlighting on Surface (Microsoft Surface) tablet keyboards and other more expensive laptops. You aren't going to get backlighting in the typical $400 kit. As for waterproofing, that's available low-end now - in Chromebooks marketed to schools, because they demand it. But it's still very rare overall.
- Screen jiggles when you touch it for swipes and taps. Nobody has solved this problem satisfactorily, even on most touch screen laptops.
+ No obvious keyboard wake up issues or keystroke lag.
+ Keyboard's is decently quiet. Should be lecture auditorium-worthy.
My first unit was an obvious return - battery protecting film sheet had been removed and it wouldn't pair despite multiple attempts (either defective or not enough battery juice to stay in pairing mode long enough to pair). My second unit, ordered specifically from Amazon, paired instantly just by moving it into laptop position (the iPad battery activates the on switch). All I had to do was turn on the iPad first and go into Settings => Bluetooth => pair, then move the iPad edge into typing position on the magnetic strip. Re-pairings with other iPads will require holding down the power button to re-pair.
NOTE on alternate keyboards: My favorite alternate keyboard is the Apple Macintosh compact Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard, specifically the version powered by 2 removable AA alkaline batteries. Here's the Amazon link for the Certified Refurbished version that is usually around $40: Apple Wireless Keyboard with Bluetooth - Silver (Certified Refurbished) . I have used the official Apple keyboard successfully with ALL my iDevices. It wakes virtually instantly and never drops key strokes or lags. Battery life is phenomenal, but after all it has AA batteries. It's light and compact for travel, but a tad big for dragging out with me for coffee.
For local cafe use the Logitech Slim Folio is king. For a student, it is light and compact with great battery life and a very compact charger and cable.
For overseas travel, I would use the Logitech in transit but carry the Apple compact keyboard for more serious extended in-hotel use (in other words, for regular laptop/desktop substitution). In that scenario, the Logitech isn't a good match - it's too narrow and cramped What's a beautiful compromise for local cafe use, with my real work done at home on a conventional computer, begins to show it's shortcomings for extended, immobile, desktop use in a hotel.
Once I accept the need for an Apple desktop keyboard (don't be scared by "desktop" - it's more compact and lighter than the Microsoft travel keyboard), I need to rethink my "tablet stand" options. The Logitech could be used by un-pairing and removing the batteries to prevent drain, but I think I'd rather use the MoKo Case for iPad 9.7 2018/2017 - Slim-Fit Multi-angle Folio Cover Case with Auto Wake/Sleep for Apple iPad 9.7 Inch (iPad 5, iPad 6), BLACK for holding the iPad up on my desk - it has multiple, and better, viewing angles for both typing and video watching since it doesn't have to reserve space for the keyboard.
It's not like that second case would weight too much, or take up too much space in my checked luggage; and changing from one iPad case to another is, literally, a "snap".
iPads and their accessory cases are very cool, and allow for a lot of personalized adaptation to individual usage scenarios. That's why I like them so much!
I would highly recommend registering your Logitech products as soon as you get them. I think that has contributed greatly to my excellent customer service experience.
Dropping to 1 star; keys rubs against screen.
* * *
This case/keyboard is fairly decent for typists who uses it at a desk. It's also good for watching video/movies at a desk. Away from desk, though, it's not terribly useful. Limited to a single angle, and folding the keyboard to the back makes it wiggly and uncomfortable. Definitely not suitable to vertical use. Terrible for use with stylus (Apple Pencil).
Bulky and heavy, yet does not lock when closed--there's a chance when dropped, screen side can flip out to get hit. Much better than no case, of course, but for all that bulk and weight Logitech should have add in a lock/clasp.
Pro:
* Good for typing and video consumption at desk.
* Auto wakes and sleep iPad when opening and closing.
Con:
* Heavy
* No clasp; does not lock closed.
* No way to hold Apple Pencil or other stylus. * Not versatile:
* * Not useful on lap (adds weight and makes holding iPad harder),
* * Does not supporter vertical use,
* * Single angle in typing mode--only suitable for using on a table; no good for lap.
* * Wrong angle for stylus use, at desk or otherwise.
* * Folding keyboard to the back of iPad makes for a wiggly, annoying to hold configuration (need hinge and lock-in-place mechanism)
Verdict:
It's reasonable (if heavy and bulky) protection with a fairly usable keyboard, but it's only suitable for use at a desk or table, and only in horizontal layout.
This keyboard case will work well for someonw who uses iPad as a writing tool 95%+ of the time, without using a stylus--but why not just get a laptop with bigger and more comfortable keyboard if that's the primary use case? Those who plan to use iPad for media consumption, drawing, and light writing is likely better off getting a light weight cover/case and a separate Bluetooth keyboard.
Top reviews from other countries
Pros
- offers good protection
- keyboard feels nice to type on
- has keyboard shortcuts for iOS
- sturdy
- feels nice to the touch
- looks nice when considering how much protection it offers
Cons
- no backlit keyboard display
- little on the bulky side (though this is to be expected if you want protection for your device)
- might be considered pricey when compared to other keyboard cases for the iPad on Amazon (I tried a competitior’s case for 70$ and it broke down very quickly, so I’d say “you get what you pay for” applies here).
Update after a year of use: the case does get dirty easily, but this is a minor thing and it can be cleaned with minimal effort. I did run into one problem, which was the rubber part at the top of the case peeling off. However, I contacted Logitech and they sent me a replacement (at no cost), which hasn’t had any such issue since I got it. I stand by my original 5 star review, still very happy with this case and Logitech. No other problems at all, it works great and really enhances the experience of using my iPad.
Pros:
1.It gets connected very easily and you do not need to pair it again and again.
2.The keys are well spaced but is comparatively small as the iPad is a 9.7 inch tablet.
3.It has a separate row of keys meant for IOS shortcuts.
4.It has some space between the screen and the keyboard when it is closed.Therefore,the keys don’t rub against the screen unless you have a thick screen guard.
5.It is the latest edition with the Apple Pencil holder on the side.
6.The keyboard is pretty quiet and the eco mode is pretty efficient.
7.It has all major keyboard shortcuts(such as:Ctrl+X,Ctrl+C,Ctrl+V)
8.It has rough cloth finish on the outside which in a way is very good because it prevents it from being slippery.
9.It has perfect openings for all the buttons on the iPad such as wake/sleep button, volume buttons, the earphone jack and of course the lightning input and the speakers.
10.It says it has 4 years battery but on a daily average of 2 hour usage of the keyboard which is mentioned on the box and the batteries are normal watch batteries which makes this keyboard eco friendly and consumes less power as compared to the other keyboard covers which require charging time and waste space in inserting a micro usb into the keyboard .
11.The protection is pretty hard though didn’t do a drop test but I can tell because thickness of the plastic.
12.The magnetic strength is really good as I tried to remove the iPad from the magnetic strip by shaking but it didn’t move from it’s position .
Cons:
1.It has only one viewing angle which make it comfortable to be used on a plain hard surface.
2.The caps lock is used for changing the language on the keyboard which prevents itself from its own function.You have to use “shift+letter” to make the letter be typed in uppercase.
3.Although the cover has that good rough finish, it is dust catching.
4. The pencil holder is not in a place or a position for two reasons:
A.I feel that the pencil might fall down.
B.It makes the whole cover look ugly, if there is no pencil in the pencil holder.
5.Even if Logitech is the pioneer in making keyboards, I feel that it is slightly overpriced as the keyboard case for iPad Air 2 is about ₹4000 and this is about ₹7000.
Overall Review:
I will rate it 5/5 because you can see that the pros are more than double to the amount of cons written above and the keyboard has helped me increase my efficiency on the iPad as compared to my previous efficiency as well as the efficiency on my laptop.The keys are plastic with a matte finish which gives a good feel using this keyboard and nowadays I want to use my iPad more than my laptop just because of this keyboard.I have not tested this keyboard with any game
Use it daily to check emails and documentation..
Need few hours to get use to it, after that it works like charm.
No need to carry laptop on vacations anymore...
