Bought one, and I FULLY recommend this product. It just does help you work with your iPad to it’s full potential without breaking the bank.
The volume control issue can be corrected in the iPad settings. In Settings go to Sounds and right down at the bottom switch on the “Fixed Position Volume Controls”
Great tip! Although, I would prefer if they would just not label these instead of having to dig into settings just to make it work with a case.
@@KyleErickson Indeed
Unfortunately, this option is not even available in the Ipad Air 5 :(
Or you can just use the onscreen volume control by swiping down in the upper right corner. I find it preferable to the buttons
I hate that Apple made the default where it swaps the buttons depending on orientation. As it confuses people to think there’s a problem with cases when there isn’t it makes no sense to me to make the volume up button do the opposite if you have it in landscape over portrait as muscle memory makes you think of that button as the up button so now it’s doing the opposite. Fortunately Apple provided a setting that should be how it is anyway as you shared.
This combo touch is amazing ! Far better value than the magic keyboard. Absolutely fantastic
Did the kickstand come lose after long term usage and writing?
@@YOH_MUSIC sorry, can't really say because i sold my ipad as i couldn't do a lot of my work on it. back to my laptop for work/productivity.
@@YOH_MUSIChiii, i have been using it for approximately one year and I don’t feel that it has come loose or anything similar
I just bought one, and it is worth the price. The fully adjustable kickstand is awesome! Great build quality, and I can see myself using this for a while.
I saw many reviews regarding the sides of the case stretching did your case stretch too ?
@@Itz_Raahoolmine didn't, but i also don't ever take it off. it might do that after removing it and putting it back on a bunch of times but as far as putting it on when you get it and leaving it, it's fine.
Recent buyer of the combo touch keyboard, using it with my iPad Pro 2018. To be honest, I totally forgot about my laptop. All my work/leisure stuff is being taken care by the iPad and the keyboard. Before buying, I did watch a lot of comparison videos between folio, combo touch and apple keyboard. Price was a big factor for me and secondly the shortcuts are not available on apple keyboard plus I don’t trust magnetic cases.
Me too :)
Hey Man. Thanks for your review. Its kinda helpful. I am planning to buy one. Logitech Combo touch, Apple Magic Keyboard & ESR Combo touch ,these 3 are in my list. ESR one is the cheapest option. So now that you have been using the Combo Touch for over an year, whats your opinion now? I would be using it for academic writing & official documenting. Should I go for it? Or rather take the Magic Keyboard?
Thanks again. Take care.
Doing my research on iPad keyboard cases and yours is by far the most well thought out review for this Logitech case I have come across. Thanks! Found my case!
Just bought the latest version. This Combo Touch is amazing!!!
I’ve had logic tech for 7 years on my 10.5 inch iPad Pro no regrets protected it many times still works fine paid $129.00 2017🤷♂️
I just purchased this for my recently acquired Air 5 and it's excellent.
I wish more cases came with something to keep the Apple Pencil in place when you toss the iPad into a backpack.
The otterbox case has a little flap that just flips over the pencil for storage while the zugu case has some ingenious lips that still allow easy access but protect the pencil from being bumped off. Neither of these cases has a keyboard or trackpad tho.
The material on the Combo Touch is actually fabric, backed by plastic. I previously owned the Folio Touch, and my iPad once fell to the ground, causing the fabric to get scuffed, similar to how jeans might. Due to the keyboard on my Folio Touch no longer working after two years of use, I decided to order the Combo Touch. I presume the issue with the Folio Touch lies with the ribbon cable that runs between the case and the non-detachable keyboard, which is likely the weak point. The fact that it's fixed in place means that I end up moving it more frequently while opening and closing the case and switching between modes, especially when I fold the keyboard all the way back to use the tablet mode. This puts strain on the flexible part, making it taut.
The detachable keyboard on the Combo Touch should, in my opinion, extend its lifespan because when I hold the tablet, I'm likely to detach the keyboard since it adds some weight. The only drawback of the Combo Touch compared to the Folio Touch is that there is no way to secure the Apple Pencil during transport. The Folio Touch offers two methods of securing it using its magnetic flap. This flap, which also holds the keyboard closed with a magnet on the bottom/outside side, can secure the pencil by simply placing it in the cutout of the case. When you close the keyboard, the flap that holds the case shut will go over the Apple Pencil and keep it in place. For added security, the flap has two small slits cut into the inside rubber on either side, creating a passage between the rubber and fabric layer. You can slide the pencil through the two slits and then close it, only thing is that the apple pencil is unlikely to charge like this since it most likely won't connect to the wireless charging from the ipad.
2 years is really short life span...
I'm still holding onto my 12.9 2018 256GB with the Brydge 12.9, bought in mid-2019... no issues using the Brydge 12.9, which doesn't have a track pad, battery life is still good after 2.5 years. I actually type in Scrivener and Pages, a lot. I picked up the new iPad Air in Blue with 64GB on 23rd of April, thinking real hard about going up to 256GB before the 14 days are up. I'm still looking at the Logitech Combo Touch, but Brydge has their offering for the 5th Gen iPad Air for $149... decisions decisions decisions!
Did you decide to stick with Brydge or change to Logitech? If so was it better?
@@Agulz I stuck with Brydge keyboards. The battery lasts for a long time. Yeah, you have to wait a second or two before you can start typing when waking up, but that also happens with a $15 desktop bluetooth keyboard.
@@phoenixbwp thanks appreciate it
The volume button issue is because Apple changes what the buttons do depending on orientation. There’s a setting that lets you disable that and then the case would be correct 100% of the time. Otherwise the case will only be correct if it’s in portrait and will be incorrect if it’s in landscape. There really isn’t a way to solve this outside of just having two buttons without any indicator I guess, and then the buttons would change. Personally, I enable fixed position volume controls so up it always up and down is always down without them swapping based on if using the iPad in landscape or portrait.
Interesting, I have the same one but I cannot flip my keyboard around if I want it out of the way. The magnets make it so it repels the keyboard in that direction. I watched this video specifically to see if that was called out as feature to see if I was doing it wrong.
4:07 !! Killer feature. I was searching for a reviewer who'd mention if it could do that.
Nice review. I purchased the Brydge 11 pro max+ for my iPad and so far I don’t have any complaints.
I've had mine for over a year & it's still amazing! It's much better than the Magic Keyboard
Good review, first one that mentions the volume button. Now I understand why at their website you can select the version for the Air 4 but it doesn’t say Air 5. I found another review that noted an issue with connecting some 3rd party usb-c cables, as the hole in the case is narrow, so some connectors were harder to get properly fixed in there. Maybe I’ll wait for the right version.
The volume control issue can be corrected in the iPad settings. In Settings go to Sounds and right down at the bottom switch on the “Fixed Position Volume Controls”
@@danielrasheedi Not there for me on 5th generation??
2:14 🤣 Good one! Solid review, thanks!
I bought one when I first got my iPad and it's great - I love the idea of the Magic Keyboard but in practice it is completely half-baked and leaves a lot to be desired, especially for $300. The Combo Touch is function with plenty of form but the MK is all form over function.
I purchased the 12.9 M1 with the Logitech Combo Touch a few days ago. I plan on using this combination to replace my 3 year old laptop. So far it’s been good, I may never buy another laptop
Please can you share with us your experience now ?? Any update ?!!
@@rixtonrix3296 If you don’t need certain computer programs which I don’t this can totally replace your laptop, the typing feels about the same. The touchpad is a little smaller than my MacBook but this is more than made up for by the iPad having a touchscreen interface and you can remove the keyboard and use it as a tablet. The screen is gorgeous for viewing content, better than any MacBook in the same price range. I’m totally pleased with this computer and it is going to be even better when IPad OS 16 with Stage Manager arrives. I’d say if you already have a desktop computer this can totally replace your laptop
Works perfectly on my 10th gen.
great video and very well thought out review
Just ordered one. Thanks for the review!
Love the trap music intro lmao
Only gripe I have for this is the fact that they removed the pencil sleeve :(
It's making it hard for me to choose between this or the folio touch. I really like the detachable keyboard feature. But I don't want to lose my pencil??
I'm on the same boat as you other wise this case would be perfect
Yeah that was an epic fail of the Magic Keyboard as well. You would think that paying a premium for a case would offer a protection for the pencil, but no. Older iPad cases with keyboards had better pencil protection.
Can vouch for this. I’m rocking one since I’m an iPad first creator so this one’s definitely a good investment for me. Makes my iPad feel like a transformer laptop. 😁
Hopefully we get some more tools to unleash the power haha
I used this to my apple air 5 but every time I press the screen, it shows a distorted part. When I removed the case, it doesn't show the distorted part anymore. Does this happen to you?
@@donnalyndechavez5824does it still bother you man?
4:18 was a good shot I wasn't sure about this case but that makes me want to get it thanks
I just want a case with a built-in kickstand like that. The only feature I miss on the Surface Pro. I already have the Logitech k380 bluetooth keyboard and it works well but I don’t need it all the time with my iPad
What a great review!
Just the case by itself (without the keyboard attached), do you know how heavy it is?
just checked, its about 255 grams or so
I liked the Logitech Combo Touch but having 2 that warped terribly after a year was very disappointing! Logitech refused to stand behind their product by not replacing.
I had this for less than 6 months … first week was ok then the connections kept on messing up. Touch pad not working and was very laggy at times. I showed apple and they said it was a common issue. I do miss taking the iPad off to use it like a normal ipad. I got the new magic ipad keyboard
As you have used both products, it would be great if you could share some thoughts to me? I’ve just brought an iPad Pro, and are looking for a keyboard case, currently struggling between the two : I really love the look and white colour of the Magic Keyboard, but I also want a detachable keyboard like the Logitech one, it’s a tough decision.
This video deserve more view! Thank you for the review.
Thanks, nice and simple
Does the keyboard detach easily when you don't want it to? (For example when you flip it over)
Review after review, and I cannot get over losing the extra usb-c port on the Magic Keyboard and the Logi Combo is absolutely annoying to use on my lap, which is how I do all of my work. Having to buy a usb-c dock, I lose most of the savings from buying the Logi Combo in the first place.
Is this the sand color or the grey color?
This is the perfect case but it doesn’t have a pencil slot. The pencil will fall off all the time so it should have those things that keep it in place
thanks for the nice vid so far. What about the trackpad in comparison to a "real" one e.g. multi touch gestures and responsiveness? thx
It’s honestly great, supports multi touch gestures, feels like a “real” one
I used this to my apple air 5 but every time I press the screen, it shows a distorted part. When I removed the case, it doesn't show the distorted part anymore. Does this happen to you?
Works perfectly for me
great review. Two questions if you would like to answer. I see that the keyboard is magnetic and you can remove it. But normal on my ipad i have as you before a normal case with a back and front cover. Is the keyboard cover ok to be used as permanently front cover like a normal cover (not confused i hope) and keep it on all the time.
Also on my case now (regular case) i open the front and hold it by it and using the ipad does the keyboard works in portrait mode or it is disabled so you do not accidentally press buttons, same question if you put it all the way on the back like your video showing.
many thanks
I just got one and I’m using it to type this message however when watching RUclips how do i go from full screen and back? Without touching the screen the track pad doesn’t seem to do anything. Help would be appreciated from those that have the pad.
Also how do i send this comment without hitting the send on my screen? 😅
Great review Kyle
Thanks, Jess!
Does it fits the Ipad pro 11" 2018? Great video!
is the logitech combo touch for ipad air 4 will also fit ipad air 5
Yes. You can refer to this website
www.logitech.com/en-my/products/ipad-keyboards/combo-touch-ipad.html
Thanks, you asked what i want to ask
@@grenzenlosleidenschaft.4495 hey i have bought the ipad air 4 version and it works just fine
Just a note i have purchased one but the design is not fully perfect my combo touch keyboards are showing loads of dents and the elastic bit above the speakers are all bending which is very common among the customers that has purchased this ( I have the 12.9 inch ipad idk does this apply to it all buy at your own risk )
Do I need to tap the trackpad or clicks it ?
is the keyboard still work uf it detached
I always hated the flimsy iPad cases. This looks like it’s on par with a Surface kickstand, which is far better.
I'm still using my gen3 iPad pro 12.9. it's in great condition, so no need to upgrade. I do like this keyboard case tho. any chance it would work with my device? the only difference I see is the camera housing.
They have ones for all different iPad sizes!
Does the fabric type material get dirty easy. Is it easy to clean? I like the sand color, but leaning to the darker grey color if it gets dirty easy and hard to clean.
it's fairly easy to clean - it's almost plastically or vinyl to be honest, I've never had a huge issues with dirt or anything to begin with though
I tried this because I love the design but found that it has a fatal flaw. The iPad doesn’t seem to fully recognize the keyboard without fail, and it very frequently keeps showing the on-screen keyboard and it is impossible to get it to disappear. Did you experience this and perhaps have a solution? I like the functionality of this case so much more than the Magic Keyboard but it doesn’t work perfectly.
This keyboard is worth less for me atleast and it adds up useless weight to ipad its not user friendly if you want to use it without keyboard as well ( the backcase adds on weight so you can not hold ipad longer in certain angles . Further it does not recognises keyboard often as you said and it becomes so frustrating. I wasted my money on it and Apple keyboard is the only option to use if someone wants to use a keyboard and enjoys the light weight of ipad.
Further the viewing angle with this keyboard becomes painfull . However I liked it material wise, strength wise, and when it get connected ofcourse it works well but then I lose so much just for the sake of using a cheap option . So keep the above things in mind. I am Selling it on secondhand soon and I am really sad by doing so !!
I just bought this keyboard and enjoy it but I can’t figure out how to stop the onscreen keyboard from popping up whenever I try to type. Very annoying as it takes up literally half of the screen. I have ‘show onscreen keyboard’ disabled and ‘full keyboard access’ enabled.
Weird, that’s never happened to me! I’d get a hold of Logitech support, they’re really helpful when I’ve talked with them.
Just wish there were different colors
Does it fit with the Paperlike screen protector?
I would assume it would work with a screen protector, but I generally avoid using screen protectors on my iPad.
I have it with paperlike, it works just fine
How’s it in the lap??
I probably wouldn’t use it on my lap much honestly. A bit weird with the kickstand.
I find using keyboard on lap difficult as the surface is unstable and the keyboard pushes the screen too far in front of you ( problem if you are on a train where not much room in font). In that situation, I flip the keyboard in the back, this stabilizes the iPad and type using the on screen keyboard. Works for me when I am on tight trains or airplanes with little space
What iPad is being used in this video? And may I also know the colour of the iPad? Thank you.
The iPad Air 5th generation, the color is starlight!
good review but would have liked to hear the noise of typing
Hi the combo touch trackpad clicks before used or just a tap?
Just be aware of that after around two years, the rubber starts to degrade and pull away from the case at the various cut throughs.
Is this available for the M2 iPad Pro???
Yes. I have one on my iPad Pro M2 and it’s great.
Will Smith, Chris Rock, nice touch.
Review after 1 year, it sucks.
The keyboard works fine but the case tearing apart day by day. Now the case can’t hold the ipad anymore, and everytime i close the case, it cant turn off the ipad screen.
It is a complaint that I have heard very often, from what I have heard this happens for 2 reasons, the rubber coating on the sides is of poor quality and it has generally poor construction. As I understand it, they have improved this with the latest versions that include a form of embroidery that prevents the rubber from stretching on the speakers and ports. I bought mine and I'm just waiting for it to arrive, I'm hoping for a miracle (constantly taking the iPad out of the rubber case causes it to deteriorate and break faster than usual)
fyi u spelled buy wrong in the description
corrected, luv you thanks bye
Deal killer is that this case does NOT secure the pencil well. New users should know that the Apple pencil "disappears" all too easily and so there MUST be a way to secure it in place, like how the Logitech Folio case secures it. And why aren't any of the reviewers mentioning whether or not one can use a case on one's lap? I've found myself at lectures and such where there is no desktop to set my iPad on, so one is forced to use one's lap. So it would be really nice to know if that's doable, or if the iPad will tend to fall off one's lap. I know, for instance, that the Apple Magic Keyboard is NOT usable on one's lap because it is so top heavy. It'd be really nice to know about other keyboard cases.
This is rubbish. Bought it yesterday, it worked ok. It stopped working today. It worked for 2 hours, maybe. The iPad simply won't detect it, neither the logitech app on the iPad. The case wasn't removed. Everything was EXACTLY like yesterday, the keyboard just stopped working AT all. I tried rebooting the iPad, tried removing the cover, clean the connectors (it was a brand new iPad Air 5 so not really something that made any change) and putting the cover on the iPad again. Not detected. Returning it today.
A very big fail, which is also present in the Magic Keyboard, is that these overpriced cases don't protect the pencil anymore. I need to carry around the pencil cause Im always taking notes or sketching on the ipad for work, and my 7th generation regular ipad has a case with a keyboard and a place to store the pencil. It all falls apart when you have to charge the 1st gen pencil which is probably the stupidest design ever made by Apple, but when you were not charging the pencil, the old cases used to have a better sense of what a case should do: protect the ipad, and the pencil, which is essentially part of the ipad at this point.
Good keyboard but not for me :
- you can’t remove it easily like the Magic Keyboard : I use my ipad with the Smart Cover most of the time and when I need the keyboard sometimes, I like to snap it magnetically and instantly.
- it’s not lapable. With the Magic Keyboard, you have one piece of rigid mini laptop replacement that you can use on the laps and you can hold it one hand too.
These 2 things make me think the Magic Keyboard worth the price difference and has no competitor. No need for a fonction row neither a back light adjustment (it use the sensor of the iPad to automatically adjust on the Magic Keyboard). However, I like to have an usb-c plug on the keyboard for charging.
And the trackpad is better : you can click everywhere, even at the top of it.
I would say the same if it weren't for the absurd price increase, yes, the only advantage is that the magic keyboard generally has better construction and better quality materials. The touch combo starts to fall apart from the edges very quickly.
I too love the Logitech combo touch keyboard. But I sure would like to know the easiest way to separate the keyboard from the screen. As a senior female my hands are not as strong as you young guys. (I also had trouble opening the board but I found a tip to push the key board to the side rather than trying to pry it open with fingernails.) Thanks.

hey man i hope you take this positively, but show more of the product while speaking instead of your face
Hey there - it's great you're thinking of how people take feedback when leaving comments! Just some minor advice with things like this though - keep in mind that sometimes folks just don't have time to explore everything possible creatively. This video is a couple years old now, but at the time this was made I was also working a super demanding job before I was able to do this work full time. This video I specifically remember editing at 6 am in a hotel room.
Also, unsolicited advice from strangers is rarely ever taken positively, and is most often just ignored. Often times creative work is very personal, everyone is on their own journey, and there is no right way to do any of this. Telling folks what or how to do something is of little value to anyone, especially without any context.
The best thing you can do here is just to respect the time someone puts into it, take what's of value and ignore the rest. ✌️
£45 used, just now. Bargain. Nothing comes close to this keyboard case.
