With my thin and light (and powerful) M4 iPad Pro in hand, I was excited to see just how far it could go with a quality keyboard. Traditionally, I haven’t needed one - I own several MacBooks and have always treated the iPad in a class of its own. I sketch on it and otherwise consume media with it while traveling. But enough about that bit of context, let’s talk about this case. First off, it feels very high quality. The kickstand are compact and precise, the metal back is sleek, keys are solid and feel great to type on. Even the magnet holding the keyboard on is strong. When closed it forms a nice rounded ‘pebble’ form that slides easily in and out of my backpack sleeve, despite having flip-out components like the kickstand, I might add. Nothing is loose, it all just fits. __ Small Tradeoffs __ Sometimes it almost fits too well. The case portion is solid and will provide good protection, but it’s also fairly hard to get the iPad into. The rubber edges that envelop the iPad are significant and add a little bit of bulk around the screen, mostly so that the keyboard can nest into it perfectly when closed (matching its edge contours, etc.) Similarly, this nearly perfect closed state also meant that the kickstand is super thin. That’s not bad, per se - it’s made of strong sheet metal, but it leaves very little of an edge to gain friction from and causes a bit too much flex when kicked out to an extreme angle (more on that below.) For productivity and typical kickstand angles, this isn’t an issue, but for drawing it can be. __ Springy Sketching __ Drawing while using the kickstand is just not great. The combination of the hinge strength, flexibility of the metal, and minimal friction at the kickstand’s edge causes it to slide itself outward, going ever-flatter. At the same time, it becomes very springy. This is not the best combo when drawing. You need your ‘paper’ to stay still. The good news is that if you don’t need to prop your iPad up to draw, it’s pretty great for sketching flat. The keyboard can be fully removed, or it can be attached upside down. This allows you to have a sturdy platform that both protects the keys and feels compact. With the keys sandwiched, you don’t feel them on the back when holding the iPad either. It’s a great solution. __ Fantastic Keyboard & Big Trackpad __ Drawing and protection aside, the real draw in this combo is the keyboard and trackpad. Keys are high quality, backlit, easy to find with fingers and have great travel. It’s a pleasure to type on! The trackpad is similarly large and responsive. Clicks are physical, feel good and there are no dead zones (even click travel all around.) - I will note, however, that there is a small gap around the trackpad that could collect dirt or crumbles if not careful. The surrounding base plate is slightly rubberized and meets up with a molded edge component - it’s not a flexible, glued seam like so many folios have. __ Summary __ Overall, Logitech has created a great protective keyboard case. It’s nicely portable and relatively light, while offering a top-notch keyboard and trackpad experience. The type of person who’d enjoy this combo is someone who wants a keyboard + full wrap-around protection of their device, while not being particularly into sketching. (Hinge gets too springy!) The kickstand is more than adequate for holding the device at typical typing angles and almost disappears when not in use. ----------- *** Good Stuff *** - Full wrap-around protection of your iPad - Great keyboard and key-feel - Large trackpad that is very responsive, physical medium-quiet clicks - Nice color match to black iPad - Recess for Apple Pencil charging *** Less than Good Stuff *** - No additional USB port for passthrough or better charging placement - Back metal plate is very finger print prone - Added weight detracts from appeal of new thin and light M4 pro when using as a tablet - Case portion not designed to be easily removable. Front edge adds some visual bulkiness. - Not the best option for sketching. Kickstand is quite springy at low angles. - Kickstand hinge is a bit weak and can slide outward smooth surfaces, has trouble holding low angles without flattening. - Some unevenness in material creasing at middle of kickstand hinge line (due to hinge mechanism below)

I had just purchased a new iPad M4 11" because my carrier offered a really good deal when I purchased it along with our iPhone 16 Pro Max phone upgrades, so I went ahead and grabbed one. I started researching cases, as I normally just use Apple's SmartFolio with all of my past iPads. But I wanted something different this time...and something with a Keyboard that would also double as screen protection, when not in use. Well, this case certainly hits all those marks, but misses in several key areas for me, however. I researching this product, I seen rave reviews and word of mouth online, even recommending it over Apples own Magic Keyboard. So, I figured why not, what could go wrong? The Combo Touch arrived and I was super excited, as I'd not used my iPad since I'd gotten it, because I didn't want to go caseless. I did enjoy how the product was packaged and the retail box, along with the pull-out sleeve that displays the product inside, all felt very premium - even if it's just heavy-stock cardboard. The first thing up top that you're greeted with is the keyboard itself. It's very nice, has a metal backing and finish to it and is VERY premium. I was immediately wowed with just smacking around on the keys in my hand, how great it felt and how thin it was, although a tad lofty-feeling, but that's to be expected. However, what was not expected and what really took me by surprise is the backside "case" that goes over the actual iPad, in which the keyboard magnetizes to and very heavily, may I add (which is a huge plus!). The color is fine and matches the keyboard, but it's made of a silicon/rubber-like material. It feels very good in your hands, but on the iPad itself, I couldn't help but feel that it felt very "cheap". I also feel the need to mention that whatever the material it's made of, it is a fingerprint and dust magnet. During my time using this on my iPad, I was always constantly wiping it off. I'd be sitting and using the iPad with just the case on and I'd watch dust just fly over and attach itself to the case. How annoying. I had an incredibly difficult time keep this thing fingerprint, smudge and dust free... Allow me to elaborate a bit more on the actual "case" part, mentioned above. First of all, getting the case portion on and over the iPad was very difficult. It's super tight and the rubbery "lips" that are designed to wrap around the top edges of the iPad (by maybe a millimeter or so?) make it even more difficult to put on. It felt like I was going to bend the iPad trying to get the corners to "pop" in and down into the case. Once it was seated, I noticed an area around the case lip at the top of the iPad was folded under (due to having to press it down), so I had to try to pull that away from the edge of the iPad just enough for it to fold upwards and over the iPad, not pressing against the side of it. I did also note that at the bottom of the iPad, it didn't seem very well aligned near some of the speaker holes and the charging port. Due to the rubbery nature of the material, it had a bit of a "wave" to it, going across the top and bottom of the device. Again, just overall cheap-ish looking AND feeling. I do, however, love how the stand is build into the back of the case, you just fold it out to the angle you prefer and when done, fold it back inward and it'll magnetically seat itself flush. This also works well even when not using the keyboard, just as a stand for the iPad, which I liked. As for the keyboard itself, it attaches to the case wonderfully and very strongly. When folded closed over the screen, everything does line up and it's magnetic and won't pop open easily. In use, I did enjoy the very slight white glow of they keys being lit up. They weren't obnoxiously bright, but also not too dim. The keys, for being shallow, all registered perfectly. I had no issues with missing a keypress when typing rapidly. However, given this is an 11" iPad, it does feel a bit "scrunched", but not a huge issue, it's something you'll get used to over time, the more you adapt to it. I did like how big the track pad is! However, there were times where it felt a bit too big, as I'd sometimes find the edge of my palm/had would rest on it and register. I also noticed ZERO lag when typing and everything was super responsive! So, overall, this gets a 4/5 for me - I would give the keyboard portion of the Combo Touch a 5/5 and the case portion a 3/5. In summary (TL;DR): The keyboard is great - other than the fact that the exterior portion that's made of metal catches every single fingerprint/smudge - BUT, unlike the case portion, it cleans easily and just wipes right off. However, the case that goes over the iPad had a number of issues for me. The way it fit the iPad didn't seem perfect, it's incredibly difficult to get on, it's absolutely a dust/fingerprint and smudge magnet and is a chore to keep cleaned. Perhaps my biggest quirk with the whole Combo Touch kit, which I haven't really touched on yet, is the fact that having it on completely defeats the purpose of how lightweight the new M4 iPads are (and the reason I got the 11"). Combined with the keyboard and case, it makes the iPad feel very chunky and extremely weighty, which I wasn't a huge fan of. Even with the keyboard removed, I just didn't...like the feel of it. For now, I went ahead and purchased a new SmartFolio to use instead, as I prefer keeping my iPad as light-weight as possible and given I won't be using the keyboard ALL of the time.

I am currently writing this review on the Logitech Combo Touch for my iPad Pro 11 (2024 model). I have been a long time user of Logitech’s iPad keyboard cases for over 6 years now, and I am always impressed at the progression and ease of case. This current model is no exception as it has greatly improved since a few years ago, and is a great alternative to the official Apple keyboard that floats. The build is very solid, and I love that they kept the removable keyboard with this. The keyboard also serves as the front cover so you know that the screen is very protected from drops or other damage. The iPad itself rests comfortably in this rubber and plastic shell, with a raised lip around the majority of the perimeter. The only areas there no coverage exists is where the Apple Pencil Pro sits. I love that I can remove the keyboard at any time and use the iPad, knowing it has protection on the sides, front and back. The back of this case also has the hinge for propping up the iPad on a desktop in the same say the Surface products are designed. I like this on a desktop because it gives you a very wide range of angles, compared to the Apple one where you have a very narrow hinge ability. But this also means that using the Logitech Combo Touch on your lap will be more challenging due to that back hing. Typing has been a wonderful experience. I love that this has a function keys at the top for lighting, volume, playback and a “dictation” button. The keys feel great typing on, not too much noise coming from this. The buttons feel very comfortable and I have good key travel despite this being smaller compared to the 13” siblings. If you are familiar with MacBook layouts then the keyboard will be very familiar. I also like the enlarged trackpad on this which my thumbs are very happy with. The swiping/scrolling could be a bit more responsive as some times there is lag when I am trying to scroll than the page. This also has backlighting so you can type at night and see where your fingers are. The magnets for the keyboard are very good and the ease of removing this makes the experience even better. Overall, I am very happy with this keyboard and you don’t have to spend too much for the official Apple one. I love the feel of this keyboard but mostly the protection you have when using the keyboard or when you remove it. That was the problem I had with the Apple one is your iPad is exposed and I like having my devices protected from drops. The scrolling could be a little bit better but I am just excited with this as it is my daily driver and I feel safe and assured that this protects my very expensive iPad Pro.

So having owned the previous generation iPad Pro 11” and also the Logitech combo touch keyboard case for that previous model; there is one significant change I can think about and that’s pretty much doing away with this fabric type material look/feel. It’s now just a smooth type of plastic or hard rubber like how it is on an Apple Smart Cover. That’s one significant change while overall you have a slight bigger trackpad and the case seems a bit more low profile and conforming to the iPad, it doesn’t add much thickness to my newer 11” m4 iPad Pro. One caveat about the case, it is a fingerprint magnet. So depending if you have a bit of wet, oily hands (unless otherwise you wash your hands thoroughly), it’s bound to catch fingerprints. You’ll have to keep some sort of wipes or polishing cloth to rid the case of fingerprints if that is your preference to avoid a whole buildup. Asides from that, functionality is great with the Smart Keyboard that integrates with the case utilizing Apple’s proprietary magnetic Smart Connector that connects with most iPad Pros. It is just Apple Case Keyboards and so far Logitech Case Keyboards that have the Smart Connector, and draws power from the iPad so there isn’t a battery. The keyboard detaches from the case easily from the magnetic port connector , using the case alone. Case also has a kickstand for different viewing levels. The trackpad is responsive and adds the dot being your mouse cursor on the iPad screen. Though I’m often on my MacBook for working, my iPad Pro is more of free time and other means of productivity, it gets a bit used to the keyboard size and I do have some big hands. However if you’re a professional or a student even, that works on an iPad Pro (the current model) and often on the go and need an integrated keyboard case, this Logitech one is the way to go.

I was looking for a good keyboard case for my iPad Pro and it works fine. I like the color, as it is different, and not always the same as other people. Although, I will have to dock off one star for the weight as it feels bulky and heavier than I thought. I was hoping for something slimmer profile and not feel all the weight when carrying it in a backpack. I do like the features of a kick stand when wanting to stream a movie or playing games or surfing the web. It is still a good buy for those who likes the bulkier case.

Works well with my IPad Pro. I’m on the go most of the time. This allows me to type faster and complete forms easier on the keyboard.

This case is super light, durable, and the keyboard feels excellent for its form factor and portability. The track pad is large, supports all the iPad's hand gestures, and is *easily* detachable (the biggest selling point for me). I have to subtract 1 Star however, because the lack of a pencil holder is glaring. It was way too easy to knock off my Apple Pencil 2 (not a cheap tool) and not having built in holder is an oversight. I had to get a third party pencil holder that doesn't quite fit, just so the thing wouldn't fall off every time I pulled the tablet from my bag. Otherwise, top marks for Logitech.

The product was as expected, just as shown in the pictures

It’s super handy having a keyboard when you need to type a lot. I love that it protects my screen as well.

The case keyboard and trackpad are nice like the previous one. The only reason I'm taking a start is due to the fact that the back of the keyboard is a hard plastic that is a fingerprint magnet and will strach over time. The fabric on the combo touch for the older iPad Pro models were nicer on that aspect. This one is better in built quality and finish but the hard plastic was a bit of a let down

I enjoyed using this with my iPad on my recent travels. At times, I din't get the connections between my watch, phone and iPad as I wanted. That could have been my inexperience. Most everything worked well and as expected.

I love the new design and the flexibility of the detachable keyboard. The 11 inch is perfect for traveling. I wish their palm recognition was better. I did call Logitech and they helped me with a work around. Typing is good not as good as the Magic Keyboard, but still its my keyboard for travel because its lighter than the Magic Keyboard.

Responsive, the footprint is larger than the old one. iPad doesn’t fold into the keyboard. Solid though.

Works very well, preferred to Apple Magic Keyboard due to the flexibility of protecting it without the keyboard attached. However, the material, especially in the dark color, is a fingerprint magnet and quickly looks dingy.

This is a pretty good alternative to the Magic Keyboard. It’s rugged, versatile and easy to use. The only caveat would be that this is a huge fingerprint magnet. Other than that I like it!

Definitely well made and perfect for the newer IPad Pros, however I just wish the material was a little less finger print prone. All in all great product!

I love my new combo touch keyboard and case. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I do tend to clean it more often because of fingerprints, but it’s worth it.

Device is flexible and easy to use. One disadvantage is that keyboard can’t be put away when not in use.

Awesome for m4 iPad Pro… a lot better then the Magic Keyboard and I over the ease of use

Great value if you don't want to spend the money on the apple keyboard
