Customer Ratings & Reviews

The first thing you have to do when you get a new tablet is to get some accessories! This could include a screen protector and case, but it could also mean a keyboard case if you plan to use your tablet for anything more than just content consumption (not that there's anything wrong w/that!). There are, of course, options directly from Apple like their great Magic Keyboard. Unfortunately, it also happens to be way more expensive than any other choices on the market! Logitech has made accessories and peripherals for a long time, so I was excited to get their new Slim Folio (for iPad 10th generation) for testing. In this house of PCs and Android tablets, an iPad is really more for content consumption (like Apple TV+). We have plenty of great keyboards (Thinkpads, Thinkpad Bluetooth/2.4ghz, custom mechanical keyboards, etc.) for our devices but never needed one for our iPads. Overview ============= Upon opening the box, you can tell this is NOT a sleek, slim "barely there" kind of case. It covers the tablet on all sides outside of cutouts for the ports, speakers, and buttons. I'd categorize this as a "good thing" since you want your expensive tablet protected! It's soft to the touch, yet feels sturdy enough to protect your tablet from any little ones in the house or any small bumps. There's a small loop on the outside to hold your Apple Pencil or Logitech Crayon. Unfortunately, I don't have one (yet?) but I assume it would fit just fine. Fit and pairing ============= Obviously this fits like a glove - Logitech knows a thing or two about making cases. The interior plastic where the tablet "clicks" in is stronger and firmer than the soft-touch feel of the outside and you can tell the tablet is held in firmly. The tablet magnetically attaches to a nice angle for using the included keyboard which we'll discuss in the next section. At the top of the keyboard section (before putting the iPad into the proper typing position) you'll see a clear plastic tab. Pulling that out will allow the batteries to be connected and the keyboard will be ready for pairing. Keyboard and typing =================== Pairing is a non-event, as expected. Once you remove the battery protection tab, you'll see a light blinking on the right side of the keyboard. It's ready to pair! Go to your "Settings > Bluetooth" and you'll find the Slim Folio. Select it and type the 6-digit code on the screen and you're ready to go! It took way longer to type the process than you'd actually take to pair it yourself. Typing - I don't have massive hands, so even though it's a cramped layout, it feels spacious enough. Obviously the entire keyboard deck needs to fit into the area covered by the tablet so some size compromises had to be made compared to your 15" laptop. Shallow - these keys are shallow - a bit of a surprise given the thickness of the case. If you're used to a full-sized keyboard (much less a nice tactile/clicky mechanical), dispel some notions now, because this has a very shallow keypress depth. Are you a Thinkpad keyboard fan? You might not like this... However, if you're adaptable, I think it's something you can adjust to quickly. I'm typically well into the 100-120 wpm range while typing on my desktop or a Thinkpad, but after a quick 10 minute test, I couldn't break 70wpm on this thing. But you know what? That's probably fine. #1 I just got the thing so I'm sure I could adjust. Secondly, I don't think you should aspire to write the next great American novel on this device. The fact that this keyboard is attached to your iPad is probably more for searching while web browsing, entering your logins/passwords, or chatting. Overall/Verdict ================ As much as I love my "nice" keyboards, I realize you can't take a fancy split mech keyboard with loud, clicky blue switches everywhere you go. Tablet keyboards have their place and I think this is a great option for those that don't want to spend extra for the Apple Magic keyboard. This is a "better than usable" keyboard for your tablet while you're out and about and I think for that purpose, it's great. I bet the more you use the keyboard, the fast you'll get used to the shallow keypresses. The only "con" I can think of is that it uses a non-rechargeable battery (or no batteries like some that connect via pogo pins) so you'll have to eventually replace them. I'd say stock up now, but the Slim Folio is supposed to have a 3 year lifespan! I can't attest to that longevity yet, but if that's true, that makes the annoyance of changing batteries almost a non-issue.

Very nice protective case with a flat laptop keyboard for easy typing and getting things done. This setup will keep your iPad in landscape position all the time, just like a laptop PC. Has access for both cameras, volume rocker, and power button. You'll love it.

I love this case! I have the rugged folio and the rugged folio slim, and I find myself going back to the slim more often then any other case, as well as the "regular" rugged folio. Let's just get some of the features out of the way that sets this guy up apart from the competition: 3 year battery life from 2 coin batteries, does not draw your ipad power away. Large clicky separate keys and not the "mushy" single layer silicone keys that some other cases have. Slim profile with the ipad magnetic docking forwards towards you instead of away from you. Rugged outer frame with the machine precision ventilation holes, as well as accurate openings for power/volume control (see pictures) Rugged frame but easy to snap on and snap off. The snappy bluetooth technology utilized by Logitech that makes the keyboard feel instantaneous. Thoughtful reliable snug home for your apple pencil. I've used alot of cases over the years, I have over 2 dozen cases, everyone of them have pros and cons. I find myself using more of logitech cases over the years and clearly they have tons of experience to making this near perfect case. The magnetic docking for the ipad as well as the magnetic cover feels like quality and almost invisibly transforms your ipad to a mini computer. The Folio standard has a wrist pad, but to be honest I don't miss it when I'm taking my ipad around. The Folio slim with the smaller profile allows me to work on shorter tables, such as the small table on an airplane for example. The only thing I couldn't test is if the batteries actually last for 3 years (obvious since this just came out). I suspect because the keys don't have the back light, it helps to achieve this feat. In my opinion, this is a no contest. 10/10 case. Exactly matches the identity of the Ipad. Small, functional, portable, secure.

Hands down the best lightweight keyboard I’ve ever owned. Smooth to the touch and easy to operate.

Great keyboard. Typing on this is so easy. Very lightweight and compact. Can position it in several angles.

Fits my iPad perfectly, keyboard works great. Folds nicely and protects my ipad

This slim folio keyboard case is well built. It is strong and protects my iPad securely. I find the keyboard responsive and keys have an excellent touch.

It works very well as a keyboard and protective case for the iPad. The loop for holding the Apple Pencil is a very nice feature. The fact that it is half the price of Apple cases is a bonus. The only minor flaw is when you try to fold it back and use the iPad for drawing or writing with the pencil. I haven't figured out how to make that a stable platform.

I ordered 2 iPads online for in-store pickup. During the online checkout, a few products were suggested as "sometimes purchased together", one of which was this laptop keyboard case. I ordered it for one of the iPads (I wanted a different type of case for the other). This turned out to be perfect! It's a great product and I think the expensive device is well-protected!

perfect for travel and also it protects it from getting damaged when you pack it in your travel bag

There was only one of these shown to be in stock and it was in the storage area of the store. Thankfully we had an excellent sales person willing to hunt it down for us! I like the keyboard very much and it works 100% as expected. It was a little bit difficult to connect to bluetooth. My husband called Logitech and connected with tech support almost immediately. It was a (very) simple solution and was up and working in no time. Love it!

Keyboard is very functional and it provides really good protection. The battery life is like 3 years so I’m happy with this purchase.

Met all my expectations. The keyboard keys have a pleasant action - responsive, don’t need a heavy touch. The stand is sturdy and it folds flat so that you don’t have to have the keyboard showing. Nice material on the case, feels protective as well. The only slight issue is opening the case - but not a deal breaker. Highly recommend. Worth the money.

I read a lot of reviews of this before I purchased it and it meets all of my expectations. It does add a very noticeable amount of weight to my iPad. I only use my iPad as a laptop replacement when I travel, so I can't speak to the suitability for regular heavy typing, but for searching and shopping the keyboard is great. It hold my apple pencil securely. I would have preferred more more than one screen angle for when I am watching video and not typing, but for typing the angle is fine. It is too soon to tell how well the battery will last. Overall I am pleased with this case.

Awesome case and keyboard. Well worth the money. Strong design

I’ve just recently transtioned over to an ipad for my note taking and I really needed a keyboard to pair with it. So far this keyboard has been very comfortable and the keys are like butter! The battery life has also been amazing

This is the best case for an iPad. I bought the same one 5 years ago for another iPad and it is very durable, functional, and fits iPads perfectly.

I like the dual function of the product. It gives me the ability to use the keyboard without touching the screen, plus it provides protection to my Ipad as a cover. This is added protection to my screen. I would recommend this as a valuable accessory that you will be glad you purchased.

Has desired functionality. Provides added protection. Gray color is not very attractive. Same old design. I would expect hinge to wear out just like my previous version of this case did.

I love my case with a keyboard, the ease to connect to my IPad was great. I like the way it protects my IPad an gives me the ease to use a keyboard. Great item.
