Customer Ratings & Reviews

I normally love my Logitech products. But I am honestly not impressed with this. The idea was neat and why I am giving it 2 stars. But I feel they missed the mark. First, this case does not take into consideration if you have the apple pen. With this case, the pen has to rest on the top of the iPad, which keeps it always charging. This also means it is not protected, so it is easy to hit the pen and cause it to fly off. Or you have to store the pen someplace. I would have liked to have seen an extra 1/2inch or so on the bottom with a spot to store the pen. The keyboard spot is on the back of the front cover and stays by magnet. This means you must remove the keyboard if you want to use it. But this also led to the keyboard constantly falling off. I would have rather seen the keyboard built in or at least on the inside, and then a built-in stand on the back. Then you just pull the stand out if you want to use the keyboard, or if using without the keyboard then fold the keyboard/front cover to the back and have it fold like it does to use as a stand. Then add a tab so that when you do close it up, you fold that over to help keep it closed. This also adds a lot of weight. The keyboard itself is light, but the case just made my iPad heavy. I do like that the keyboard is able to separate from the case. So, I would keep it like that, just on the inside. This way, you have the option to detach the keyboard, fold the front part back to use as a stand. Some might want to use the keyboard in a different spot. The keyboard also worked great for apps that you can use it with. If you carry your iPad in a sleeve or bag, then this might be worth it. But a lot of times for me personally, I just carry my iPad around outside a bag, so this was not worth it.

Living the case, it feels really sturdy and it doesn’t feel like the iPad is gonna fall off. The keyboard isn’t really the clients look if your tryna go for a full black look. But the quality and the feel of it. Is very much 10/10

I have been using an iPad case from a Logitech competitor for a while now and like the case with one exception... There is no way to set up the iPad without the keyboard (as the keyboard is a permanent part of the case). I was hoping this case would be the answer to that. Unfortunately, that is not the case (no pun intended). To begin, when upright, the hinge can only bend to a certain extent, limiting the pitch of the iPad to maybe 60° or so. The footprint when in that orientation is also rather deep/wide. I am not sure how well it will work in restricted spaces (such as on an airplane). On the other hand, the hinge does allow for very "flat" angles, so if you are drawing on the iPad and want a slightly pitched surface, this unit can do that. The unit does have a "lip" on the bottom of it that allows you to set the iPad on it in portrait orientation, which is nice, assuming you want to use your iPad in portrait (as opposed to landscape) orientation. The magnets do not hold the iPad when it is in the orientation, however, so he can slide around and a bump to the top of the iPad will flip it over. As for the keyboard, this was probably my biggest disappointment. The feel of the keys when typing is decent for something with such short travel, but the space bar feels "soft" compared to the rest of the keys, which feels strange when typing. While the keys are full size, the space bar is not as wide as it would be on a traditional keyboard. What I did not like is that the keyboard is not powered by the iPad. It needs its own batteries. Additionally, those batteries (button cell) are not rechargeable. (Logitech says the batteries last a couple months.) Even more annoying is that I cannot open the tray to remove the batteries without using a paperclip to push some internal mechanism to release the tray. As shown in the picture, the keyboard is "free floating." It does not connect to the case when in use, which can be a good or a bad thing, depending on your perspective. It does allow you to put the iPad wherever it is comfortable for your viewing while also having the keyboard wherever it is comfortable for you. On the flip side, this pretty much eliminates the ability to use the iPad with the case and keyboard as a quasi-laptop that literally sits on your lap (which is different from the case I use now). The keys are also not backlit, so if it is dark and you are not a touch typist, that may be an issue. The keyboard must also be connected by bluetooth (as opposed to connecting automatically via the electrical contacts on the iPad). I suppose that is not a big deal once set up, but I have had bluetooth connectivity issues before with other devices, so I am not keen on that when another option exists (albeit with the keyboard being tethered to the case, which is connected to the iPad). As far as the bluetooth goes, the keyboard can be synced with up to three devices, I believe, so it does provide some extra utility as it can be used with other bluetooth devices. If I wanted that, though, I would have just bought a bluetooth keyboard to begin with. Probably the thing that I cared for the least is Logitech's solution for keeping the detachable keyboard with the case. The keyboard attaches magnetically to the case. Admittedly, this is a somewhat creative solution and it works well (the keyboard does seem to stay in place, for the most part), but it also makes the case, with the iPad, significantly thicker than other competing products. Throw the unit into a bag and it is easy for the keyboard to become detached and you are fishing in the bag for your keyboard. Ultimately, I would say the case is okay, but nothing special. Personally, I prefer the case I am using now with an attached backlit keyboard that is powered by the iPad (that allows me to use the iPad as a laptop that I can actually set on my lap and use). As with most things, it really comes down to the features you want and personal preference. Again, this unit allows for a very low pitch, which could work well for someone who takes a lot of notes or draws on their iPad. For my particular uses, however, this case really does not offer anything compelling for me.

I recently came back to using an ipad after several years of dealing with Android Tablets, and after reading a ton of good things about the M4 Ipad, I grabbed one, and, after buying my first ultra protective case/stand for it, I saw this Logitech product, and thought this would be a great addition to my ipad devices. For me, that turned out to be a mistake.. First of all, there is no place to permanently store you Ipen, which is a major omission. Secondly, the ipad doesnt actually have a secure, supported holding area in this thing, it sort of just lays between two sheets of plastic/cardboard/what ever this is actually made of, so I always felt it could easily drop out of its "case", and that pretty much defeats the purpose of any sort of case.thirdly, I never really felt like this had an actual "kickstand" for positioning the ipad and keyboard in a secure fashion, but it requires you to sort of keep the keyboard on your lap, which isnt something I would like on an extended basis. I know Logitech makes a product that fixes all these things, but its almost 100 bucks more than this was, so its likely out of reach for most folks. I guess this folio is interesting for some users, but for me, it was a hard pass..
