Logitech Slim Folio Pro Review: The Best iPad Pro Keyboard

This is Logitech's newest keyboard case for the 2018 iPad Pros, the Logitech Slim Folio Pro. It features a backlit keyboard, USB-C charging, and a magnetic flap to secure the Apple Pencil. Is this the best iPad Pro Keyboard?

I bought the case two days back and like it. I still prefer the Slim Combo form factor as you can detach the keyboard and connect through the pin. this one connects through bluetooth but works flawlessly

Logitech Slim Folio Combo (for the 10.5 inch iPad Air/Pro) uses smart connector, can adjust angles anyway you want and the keyboard is detachable.
Not sure why Logitech couldn't do it on the Slim Folio Pro. It's quite disappointing and really doesn't feel "Pro" to me.

Just bought it yesterday and I’m not regretting it one bit. Definitely one of my favorite purchases I’ve made.

I just got the new Zagg slim book pro keyboard for the 12.9 inch iPad Pro. It would like to see a comparison review to the Logitech keyboard. The Zagg keyboard is also backlit and is USB-C. I do appreciate your content.

Typing on this keyboard is an amazing experience. However, there are only 2 positions as far as I see, not 3. While the keyboard is active in the slot, it will not stay in the more upright position like you showed in your video. That flimsy rubber on the back flap won’t stay forward under the weight of the iPad. It keeps falling to the further back position. Therefore 2 positions - one with the iPad upright and the keyboard active and one with the iPad laying down. Well, you can technically use a 3rd position if you fold the keyboard all the way back. And one more thing. This keyboard adds significant weight & heft to the iPad. With it on, my iPad feels as heavy as my MacBook Pro and is definitely thicker.

If you are just standing up your iPad in typing setup/mode to watch YouTube or smt, but aren’t typing, is that draining the power? Like does that contribute to the “typing time”?

Does it fit 12, 9 version with new iPad 2021 pro 12.9 ?

[GordMackinnon]

where does the keyboard fold to when your not using it? like when you just want to use the tablet as a tablet?

It’d be great if you did a review and comparison with the Brydge iPad Pro keyboard coming out in a couple of weeks. Great content as usual.

Nice keyboard, though I do agree it looks a little wonky in the drawing position. Would like to see examples of this case being handheld while using the Apple Pencil to write or draw. Maybe it might not feel to awkward?

I have a question can I download anything on it TV, games and applications?

[goldfingerhardcore]

how do you keep keyboard backlight on for more than a few seconds?

[chiemcdonald]

I purchased it: I love it!
Definitely recommend <3

Is this one compatible with the new iPad Air 4? It seems it has the same dimensions but idk about the button upside

[MsTulipan]

WHERE do you charge this keyboard??? I cannot find any slot.

[Kevin_Guo]

Does this case fit the latest iPad air 2020? Will the camera fit? Thanks

I really want to know from other people, my keyboard’s some certain keys don’t work and rarely works and just wondering if anyone has this problem or knows how to fix it.

How long does the iPad last when using the keyboard? Bluetooth consumes a lot of energy?

[gretchencole]

New to this product and ipad. Do I have to turn something on to enable the key board function. Not really understanding how it hooks up. Sorry for the dumb question😳
