![]() ![]() Smart Keyboard next to Slim Folio The case that the iPad Pro fits into is rather thin, but with the added weight of the keyboard, there's a lot of bulk to deal with. It's by no means a deal breaker, but a little annoying. With the iPad Pro, there's no Home button so it's sometimes hard to tell whether it's facing up or down, and it's harder to find the power button/volume buttons by feel and it's also more difficult to press them. Logitech has covered the power button and the two volume buttons in rubber, which makes them harder to use. The top and bottom are also left open because of the speakers and the USB-C port. ![]() There's thick rubber at the corners and on the left side, but on the right, there's an open space because that's where the Apple Pencil 2 goes for charging purposes. There's a base rubber and plastic case that the iPad Pro fits into, which provides protection for the iPad when it's not in use. After that, though, it connects quickly when you put it in typing mode and start to use it. The Slim Folio Pro connects to the iPad Pro using Bluetooth, so you're going to need to set it up in the Settings app the first time you use it. It would be nice to have color options, but the gray is an appropriate neutral color. Like the Smart Folio Keyboard from Apple, the Slim Folio Pro is available in dark gray. If you're like me and prefer devices with thin cases or with no case, the Logitech Slim Folio Pro probably isn't going to be what you're looking for, but let me go into a bit more detail on how it works and how it looks on the iPad. With my iPad Pro, I've been using Apple's Folio, which is already more thickness than I like. I am not and have not ever been a fan of thick cases that add a lot of extra weight to my devices, and for my iPads, I almost always go case free and use a Smart Cover. For comparison's sake, Apple charges $179 for its 11-inch Slim Folio Keyboard and $199 for the 12.9-inch model.ĭesign wise, the Logitech Slim Folio Pro is a lot thicker than the Apple Smart Folio Keyboard and it adds quite a bit of weight and bulk to my iPad. Logitech's Slim Folio Pro is more affordable than Apple's Smart Keyboard, with the 11-inch version priced at $120 and the 12.9-inch model priced at $130. For those who don't like the Smart Keyboard, Logitech has designed the Slim Folio Pro, a new keyboard case available for the 2018 iPad Pro models. Apple makes a keyboard designed for the 11 and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models, the Smart Keyboard Folio, but some people dislike it because of the thin keys, the lack of key travel, and the high price tag. ![]()
