I have both. Magic Keyboard is better. Can actually be used on your lap unlike Logitech. The case part of the Logitech is not constructed very well. The area around the speaker grills has become very loose and floppy over time, which if you’re a little OCD like me is very annoying. The only thing I miss between the two is the extra function row of keys on the Logitech and the larger track pad. Everything else from quality, typing experience, integration, etc is better with Magic Keyboard. If you’re on the fence either will be a great experience compared to used the touchscreen for typing. If you want to be able to use your ipad as a laptop replacement and actually want to use it on your lap get Magic Keyboard. Otherwise save a few dollars if the floppy speaker parts of the Logitech won’t bother you.
The only thing keeping me from buying a keyboard case is the lack of pencil storage on all of them.. Even this case is subpar in that department. Just having the pencil (which is expensive by the way), out in the open only secured by a magnet does not feel right to me. My current case, while not a keyboard case, is a folio with a built in slot for the pencil to lay in (while maintaining contact for charging) that gets covered when the case is folded closed. I use the pencil daily, probably more than I would a keyboard.
The iPad works amazingly the box came a little dirty, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA no plastic wrap, but the box was sealed and had everything else in the box along with the wrapping, the iPad itself is gorgeous, I got the yellow 64g game storage is good for me along with Socials and school stuff. No scratches or marks came with the charger and box fast speed, and if you are buying a pen get the 1st gen don’t make the mistake I did !!
I got a great deal on eBay for a used 2021 iPad Pro 12.9, Logi combo touch, and Apple pencil 2s with glass screen protector installed. I really like the keyboard, but I don’t like the kickstand, because you can’t use it on your lap
Disagree. Tried the Logitech Combo Touch and is pretty good but…Magic Keyboard is a slightly better typing and track experience. Love the extra charging port too. The LCT is just impossible on a lap where the MK is easy and has a small footprint otherwise too. The hinge is just wonky on the LCT, Not having function keys is ok with me. I just use the volume adjustment on the pad. You state Magic Keyboard is not backlit--wrong-Magi is nicely backlit. I like just being able to remove the pad easily for drawing. Removing the keyboard and turning it around for storage with LCT is fiddly. Though I get there is added protection I don’t take I pad away from home very often and the Magic keyboard is enough protection for me as I usually have it in a carrier or pack. The extra weight is surprisingly noticeable as you said. Tried em both and Apple Engineers have done it again…though the price might be a break point for some.
It looks so good and it provides some protection for the iPad and it generally makes the iPad more fun to use. I’m getting one for my 9th gen tommorow. Btw just a question does your come with a pen
Sadly this logitech ipad pro case is MUCH MUCH worse compared to their Ipad pro case for gen 1&2. That was so freaking good. The stand have a REAL hinge in metal and was built like a tank. This new one for the new ipads is just so flimsy and back build quality. I bought the new ipad with this. But was so disappointed with the horrible build quality compared to their old one I had on my ipad pro 12.9 2017 ;/ The kickstand is a joke, and will most likely not last.
that magic keyboard is beautiful though . . . but i'm with you, I cringe at the thought of paying that much. Even logitech is a little expensive. Will watch the prices.
I prefer the Brydge and Apple as they can sit on your lap without a floppy keyboard. It has greater protection but I have never experienced any damage using the Brydge or Apple. The advantage of the Logitech is that it is easier to remove the keyboard and use the iPad on its own? It is def a quality option and nice that iPad owners get great choice which is one of many reasons I prefer Apple over say Samsung.
@@Dr.Hiccup …choice of keyboards. There are at least four very good keyboards for most iPads and plenty of middling ones. Samsung has their own or some rather disappointing third party ones. For someone that does 75% of their work typing, this is value added and a win for me.
@@andyH_England ah gotcha. I checked out the keyboard u recommended and it looks awesome but unfortunately it doesn't seem like it has a tablet option. I can't find a good keyboard that has both keyboard/trackpad and can be used as a tablet AND can fit on tiny college desks
I agree, it is heavy and quite cumbersome when you keep the keyboard attached and try carrying it, but I usually just take the keyboard off and use it as an iPad when carrying it around, and put the keyboard in, when I need to type more than just a few characters. the iPad case (without the keyboard) could be sold separately by Logitech as just a nice iPad case as it feels so good in the hand sans keyboard.
Are you able to use the sound and brightness functions on the iPad via keyboard? I’m connected via Bluetooth but can’t eat those top row functions to work
@@AngharadNicole yes.. this keyboard does not connect via bluetooth, but uses the Smart Connector so it’s a direct connection and also get’s it’s power from the iPad. The Audio and brightness keys work great!
Thanks for the review. Used your link and hoping it helps me utilize my 12.9in iPad more than I can now! I really wanted a case with a keyboard. I'm ure it'll be an adjustment from Otterbox protection.
Love this keyboard! The apple Smart Keyboard, while nice, doesn’t give me the flexibility to use the iPad as a tablet without taking it off the case. Whereas this keyboard case allows me to either carry the keyboard with me, or just use it as a tablet!
This thing is too fragile. Once the connection wire breaks from the case to keyboard it no longer works. It’s a weak point to have a power running through. This is the limitation of the 3 prong connection on the back. In addition you need to clean it otherwise stops working. In addition it takes iPad energy as well to run. It’s super heavy and thick as well. Mine broke and it’s a sigh of relief😅
I would advise getting a different one because I had the brydge pro max + for the ipad pro 12.9 inch and the hinge cracked of completely and I cant use it and thats after 6 month amount of use
No offense but if you’re getting fatigued from carrying that you really need to set that down, get in you car and go to the gym. iPad can wait you got bigger fish to fry

So damn true!!!! I want to buy a keyboard case but I feel so scared to see my pencil holding on just by magnets!!!!
@@Joseph_Martini I have a stick on pencil holder on the back of my case cost less than $10 great when on the move or in your bag.
@@catcowan ohhh yeah I didn’t think about that possibility!!
If you get the Logitech folio instead of the combo touch it has a cover for your pencil if you want to check it out.
What case are you currently using?

Did you really say that Apple gives you more choice than Samsung? Out of all the things you could have said, you chose the worst reason

then you might need to try PITAKA's iPad case 2 for iPad Pro or Air，if you like things that look good，feel good while also being made good！

Ehh. I think this case sucks causally. I used the rugged book pro for the 11 inch. That was good. This case is gigantic. It takes up so much space.
Did a lot of research but didn’t see the magic keyboard is backlit…?
Thanks for the review. Used your link and hoping it helps me utilize my 12.9in iPad more than I can now! I really wanted a case with a keyboard. I'm ure it'll be an adjustment from Otterbox protection.
I don't like that the apple pen cannot be securely stored?
Love this keyboard! The apple Smart Keyboard, while nice, doesn’t give me the flexibility to use the iPad as a tablet without taking it off the case. Whereas this keyboard case allows me to either carry the keyboard with me, or just use it as a tablet!
The only thing that i am worried about is the stand on the back. I use my ipad when I am in bed so i am worried that the stand wont work on my lap
Do you like the logiteck keyboard better than the Benks?
I used the logitech for 2 yrs now,. The speaker opening, usb-c worped and became floppy overtime ,. Denim Material type easily dirtied.
I like the new Brydge max keyboard!
What keeps the keys from scratching the screen when it’s closed?
Does the enter key map as an OK button? I had the ESR Ascend, which was a great case spoiled by dumb Enter key mapping and iffy trackpad…
What keyboard do you suggest for the ipad 10 FOR THE LAP?????
Apple magic keyboard is backlit
Logitec need UAGs Old kickstand
The rubber of the case deformed after using it for awhile
I have iPad Pro 4th generation 12.9 is it compatible please thank you .
This thing is too fragile. Once the connection wire breaks from the case to keyboard it no longer works. It’s a weak point to have a power running through. This is the limitation of the 3 prong connection on the back. In addition you need to clean it otherwise stops working. In addition it takes iPad energy as well to run.
It’s super heavy and thick as well. Mine broke and it’s a sigh of relief😅
Is the keyboard same for ipad Pro 11" and ipad Air 5?
The best keyboard case is the Brydge pro max+ and I’m using it right now. That keyboard is tacky by comparison.
I would advise getting a different one because I had the brydge pro max + for the ipad pro 12.9 inch and the hinge cracked of completely and I cant use it and thats after 6 month amount of use
@@miamalek6769 yes, I can confirm my hinge also cracked with time. Such a shame.
You would not need that with the iPad 10th gen
When you adjust to lowest angle and draw with whole hand pressed onto the screen, does the stand support it well or is it shaky when drawing???
It supports it really well - I have the same case and use it for drawing all the time.
Writing this with my combo touch keyboard 😂
i feel you should just get a laptop
i has a laptop
Combo touch >
Brydge
You sound like someone who regrets buying this case and trying to justifying yourself not buying the magic keyboard which is the best option.
Is it though? The magic keyboard provides no drop protection, is extremely expensive, the keyboard cant be removed and mainatain some protection.
No offense but if you’re getting fatigued from carrying that you really need to set that down, get in you car and go to the gym. iPad can wait you got bigger fish to fry
