    Hi, all! CLARIFICATION re: speaker grills. The iPad Pro I used in this video is the 2020, 11-inch model (2nd Generation), which Logitech’s website list as compatible with the Combo Touch. However, the 2021, 11-inch model (3rd Generation) doesn’t have any problems with the speaker holes misaligning.

    @Alex Rodzianko Good review. Subscribed. Is there an earlier version that has the cutaways to line up with the speaker holes of the 2018 11" IPad Pro so won't cause any blockage of sound? This is important to me as I find the volume/sound level of my 2018 iPad to be only adequate and have it on maximum settings. I don't know if the 2020 and 2021 M1 versions of the 11" iPad Pros have quite a low sound level volume too? Currently using a Logitech Slim Folio Pro (no trackpad) which is excellent.
    Edit: I believe Logitech make 2 versions of this keyboard for the 11" iPad Pro. There is a version for the 1st and 2nd Generation 11" iPad Pro and the latest version which is for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Generation 11" iPad Pros. But the latest version, as in this review, does not match the speaker holes of the 1st and 2nd generation 11" iPad Pros, as you have shown. I don't know if the earlier version, which is cheaper at £149.99 at John Lewis, for the 1st and 2nd Generation 11" iPad Pros, have the speaker cutaways aligned.
    There are also 2 versions for the 12.9" versions of the iPad Pro. First is stated to be for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generations, and the other one is stated to be for the 5th generation. Couldn't see one on the John Lewis website for the 4th generation of the 12.9" iPad Pro. I don't know if the speaker cutaways line up on any of them.

    I enjoyed the brief review, but was surprised that one of the main feature of this keyboard/case, the function keys at the top of the keyboard, doesn’t feature in your review at all. I have an iPad Pro 12” with an Apple Magic Keyboard case, and an iPad 9th generation 10.2” with the Logitech Combo Touch keyboard case, and whilst the Apple keyboard case is spectacularly expensive, I do really enjoy the ‘instant on’ nature of unfolding it and just beginning to work on the iPad Pro, which isn’t quite so nimble as the Logitech keyboard case, with the extra step of unfolding and adjusting the back flap. However, the Logitech keyboard case shines with the function keys at the top of the keyboard, that are specific to the iPad and I cannot quite believe that Apple did not add a similar row of keys to their own expensive keyboard, to create a really professional, productive keyboard to use with their top-of-the-range iPad Pro. Logitech are easily ahead with this feature on their keyboard case and at a significantly less expensive cost to the user, this makes that option on my iPad 9th generation, a really productive and a ‘pro’ feature that is entirely absent from Apple’s own Magic Keyboard case - there are not function keys whatsoever. That, I would have thought, might have made your review more complete and informative and, I should imagine, persuaded more people to seriously consider this range as viable alternatives to Apple’s own models…

    Hey! Great review video. Most of the reviews on YT show only the good stuff; your review is what i was looking for because i also have a 2020 iPad Pro and i am looking to get this keyboard. I had the Folio Touch which was great and i did a review on it; it had some flaws but i could live with them.
    The only reason why i want this case is because I can detach the Keyboard and use the tablet as... a tablet 😀
    The holes for the speaker are made for the M1 iPad Pro, but i am not too bothered about it as most of the time i listed on the headset.

    Great review. I already have the logitech combo touch. BTW the speaker hole is a non-issue with my 2022 13” ipad pro. I use 4 different languages set up on my system settings keyboard. I change through them with the world key. I agree about weight. It is heavy. Still getting used to that. Between going from the 11” with the smart keyboard folio to this is like going to a pilates course for you wrist and hands. The perfect case would have been the smart keyboard folio but with backlit keys. There were too many times with that keyboard where I could not read the keys in dark areas. No problem with this keyboard.

    If I were going to get a keyboard I would go for this one over ipad one. There are a couple $50-$60 keyboard-covers that I would consider on Amazon too. I have not bought a keyboard yet, because from a software standpoint my laptop is the better choice. I am new to tablets and iPad, I love it, but one irritation is I use it in portrait mode and type. The pen is in the way on my sleek everyday case. I was thinking maybe a magnet setup on the back or top could solve the issue. I could use a case that covers the pen but they are bulky and it makes the whole frame wider, which is not good for typing in portrait mode.

    • @AlexRodzianko
      @AlexRodzianko  3 роки тому +1

      Ah yes, good point - attachable keyboards are basically unusable in portrait mode. I’d probably opt for a detached, Bluetooth keyboard in this case - but that’s also not ideal, because it’s clunky and doesn’t double up as a case. Hopefully soon we’ll get decent iPad keyboard cases that are still usable with Bluetooth when detached!

    I have this case with my 2022 M2 12' iPad Pro. None the the issues you mentioned with the keyboard feel or responsiveness has bothered me at all as I am not a keyboard "power user." It works fine for my uses. However one thing you did not mention is that the opening in the case around the USB-C port does not allow for plugging in my Anker 541 USB-C hub. To use this, I have to completely remove the iPad from the case or, I guess find a USB-C to USB-C cable to connect it. Damned annoying. But I still find this to be an excellent alternative to Apple's absurdly priced Magic Keyboard, especially with the extra protection it offers as well as the row of utility keys it adds.

But I've heard that the keys and the trackpad on the MK are better than the Logitech. BUT the real show stopper for me you did not mention. Once the iPad is in the Logitech case, you cannot use the biometric function. So, it's Magic Keyboard for me. Maybe a separate bag to carry it around in.

      Thanks for the kind words! If your choice is between the two, I would 100% recommend going with a MacBook. iPad OS is just too awkward (imo) for productivity and everyday tasks - unless the bulk of your work is illustration etc and you really need a stylus. (But even then windows 2-in-1s might be worth checking out!) I think the iPad Pro just hasn’t come far enough as a laptop replacement yet (and probably won’t for the foreseeable future). But if you can find a way, try them both out a little, and see how you find them!

      The hole misalignment issue definitely isn’t a deal breaker for me, personally. (I use my iPad with headphones a lot, though, so speaker quality isn’t a huge concern of mine.) If you are listening to a lot of content/media out loud, then the difference in sound with the case on vs off still shouldn’t be much. (A lot of people are saying they can’t tell the difference, and I’ve only noticed a bit of muffle when playing some music, but not consistently so.) I don’t think you should have a problem! 😀

      Good question - haven't actually used any USB docks with the case, so can't really recommend any in particular atm. I'd say, though, that any dick with a standard USB C connector should be fine provided it doesn't sit too snug against the iPad. Maybe check out sites like Macworld, which I think should have some recs. Sorry I don't know more!

    I have had the case for almost two days. Before using this case, I was using the Magic Keyboard case. Between the two the one I prefer is the combo touch, and this is due primarily to the functionality of the case. Before I go into that, what interested me about the Combo touch is the protection it offers for the iPad. The case wraps the entire iPad in this enclosed fabric like material and hard rubber. The case itself does feel a little less stable than the Magic keyboard but for me this has not been a deal breaker. The typing experience is quite similar to that of the Magic Keyboard which offers the best in class in typing for the iPad. Where you find the difference is in the tracked. Now the Combo Touch trackpad is not bad, just its a little too sensitive to me which causes accidental touches that you don’t get on the Magic Keyboard.
    Where the Combo touch really shines over the Magic Keyboard is in the viewing angles. I really feel that the Magic Keyboard is meant more for someone who is going to use it on a solid surface, where the Combo touch is more Versatel and you can detach it from the keyboard without sacrificing protection for your iPad. Either platforms you will not be disappointed, but for me I think I prefer the Combo touch.

    • @AlexRodzianko
      @AlexRodzianko  3 роки тому +2

    I have been using Logitech Slim Folio keyboards/cases for years and I love them. Great customer support, and value vs price. You mentioned typing special characters or foreign language characters. I work in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese and I just have to select the language and use the the key combinations that have been around for ages ( i.e. apostrophe c for a ç) easy peasy. I had a Logitech Slim Folio go bad and they actually offered to send me one from the USA to Brazil but the importation duties would have been greater than the value of the keyboard. I bought one locally from Logitech and they credited my credit card with the full value that I had paid in the USA. Apple might not have done that, and would have said “just pop into an Apple store in the USA and we will give you a replacement (after I had spent thousands of dollars for an airline ticket from Brazil to the USA) not a real solution. Cheers mate.
