The best iPad Pro keyboard on the market
As a fan of Logitech's (or is it Logi's) earlier keyboards for iPads, I immediately purchased this keyboard to use with my new iPad Pro. It is a solidly built case and it is a little bulky. It also adds a good amount of weight to the iPad, but it also provides you with the closest experience to a fully functional laptop-style keyboard available on the market.
The keyboard is a breeze to use. Just open up the case and set your iPad near the docking connecter and it will snap into place with a satisfying click. It feels really stable while in laptop mode and there is enough support when using the touch screen. The keyboard features a full number row as well as a function row for on/off, brightness, playback, and search. This is really helpful because the case does cover the on/off switch and volume buttons and the plastic is really resistant, making those buttons hard to press. The keyboard has a good amount of tactile feedback and does not feel mushy. And the backlighting is great and with the new connector on the iPad, the keyboard never needs to be charged or paired. It all happens seamlessly when you click the iPad into place. You can also fold the case into a tabletop mode, which is nice for using a sketching app or holding in your lap to watch videos. The case also feels very durable and is covered in a tough cloth-like material.
A few things I think Logi could improve is the bulky heft of the keyboard. Although it does feel very stable, the case is pretty thick and I feel they could trim off some of the fat on this case. It adds a lot of weight to an already heavier device, so don’t expect this case to be really sleek and light. Sliding the iPad in and out of the case is also a little intimidating and tough, but I understand they had to secure the iPad in the case. It just made me very nervous getting the iPad into the case.
Overall, if you’re looking for a case that gives you a laptop like experience and you don’t mind adding bulk or heft to your iPad Pro, I would highly recommend this case. It is strong, secure, and typing on it is great. But if your looking for sleek and thin, you should probably look elsewhere.
