Logitech Slim Folio for iPad (7th, 8th, & 9th generation) Keyboard Case with integrated wireless keyboard, QWERTY UK English Layout - Graphite

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 2022We 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.

Excellent quality and compatibility with iPad 9 as stated in the instructions. Make sure you read which ones are compatible with your version of iPad as they all have different models.Well worth the extra money for a reliable brand that is recommended by Apple too. If you buy cheap you will pay dear!

I previously had the rugged case and it was really good, but I was keen to have something with a trackpad and with keys that lit up at night, so I invested the extra money in one of these cases. It is absolutely wonderful to use, really responsive and the material they’ve made it out of is much nicer to lean on than your standard brushed aluminium or plastic or even glass.However, there is one glaring design flaw with this, and it’s that the magnets on the keyboard are not very strong and they only touch the thinnest edge of the iPad, so if you pick the iPad up by the screen, the case will almost certainly always disconnect at the magnets and then your brand-new expensive keyboard will land on the floor.This has happened several times now and it takes a while before you instinctively learn not to do that. For a case as expensive as this, and which is clearly had lots of consideration for other parts of the design, that is a really obvious flaw. This is the only thing that has stopped me from giving an otherwise outstanding product five stars.

VERY PLEASED WITH ITEM, IT IS WELL DESIGNED AND FOLDS TO FORM A FIRM ANGLED SCREEN. I LIKE THE FEEL OF THE KEYS AND THESE WORK ON A WRITING APP JUST LIKE A DEDICATED LAP TOP. EASY TO CONNECT VIA BLUETOOTH.

Easy to set up and use. It wasn’t the cheapest but I have no complaints

I love it perfect , protective and looks really nice ..

Ideal for carrying around it is a very good product, small, neat but does all i need it for.
