Is the rugged combo touch available in this bigger ipad pro size?
The reason why it was so difficult to put ipad in is because you had stand on the back side of the case closed. If you opened it first, then case on the bottom becomes much more flexible and ipad goes in relatively easy.
Thank you for this tip!
As an almost 2 year user of the Combo Touch, I completely never put the keyboard behind the tablet unless I specifically want to break my hands holding the iPad
I adore this case, is perfect for me, the only problem is the rubber around the corners started to bend and looks bad, i still use it 2 years later and considering on buying another one just because i like it so much, but it feels wrong because this issue happens so quickly =( i wish they sold the case sperate from keyboard (which is completely as new)
I bought this same case for my new iPad 10 256GB (WiFI only). It was quite easy for me to put my ipad into the case. I, too, followed the instructions to insert it. But, I think I'd struggle to get it out of the case.
It took me several tries to update the keyboard's firmware via the Control App.
That being said, I also like the texture on the case itself. I don't mind the thickness at all. I notice that I have to make sure the keyboard is fully connected in order for the backlight to work. It occasionally connects in such a way that the keyboard functions, but the backlight doesn't.
It would be nice if I could flip the keyboard fully back without it disconnecting from the iPad. That's my primary complaint. But overall, it feels more protective of the edges of my iPad than Apple's own folio/keyboard. And much less expensive than Apple's ($160 vs $250).
Today, I had to take my iPad 10 out of the case to put on my screen protector and DAMN was it hard!! Luckily it was super easy to put back in after..
And now you successfully screwed yourself because it’s not compatible with newer updates
have used Logitech iPad Pro keyboards for years. Bought the Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard for a new iPad Pro in June. not loving it. weighs a ton, hard to open, a pain to detach keyboard every time I want to change how I use the iPad and orientation, rubber seal around the iPad is gapping, corners are fraying, and one of the cursor keys fell off already and won't re-attach. for this much money - not a great experience.
I bought a 10th gen with this case and new Logitech Crayon. I really like them both. This case IS difficult to put on, but the fit an finish is fantastic. My biggest complaint is that after all the time I took to put on a Paperlike screen protector, the tight fit kept lifting the edges and I ended up having to remove it. I'll have to figure out a workaround to get my Paperlike on there.
Ooooff greatly appreciate this comment. Been thinking of getting a paper like and this keyboard case but I may reconsider because of this
Great point to consider!! Thank you
Damn it I have paperlike on my 9th gen ipad too and I'm considering spending on a combo touch ...
The main reason I don't buy other accessories than the ones that belong with what I purchase. You just demonstrated it.
No this is just a bad accessory for a bad product. This same keyboard worked great on the iPad Pro 11”, but just like Apple, they deliberately made it worse. Idk, maybe Apple mandated them to do it or something.
Hmm on your box shows for "Ipad" the combo box I got shows for " IPad 10th Generation ", maybe that's the cause for the stiffness as mine went in just fine. No hard at all. I think you got the wrong size. Anyway this case and keyboard is my best investment. It's very smart and is the best case out there compared to the Apple magic one.. but cheaper..!
Mine fit perfectly right away.
Probably first run production issue.
If you had read the instructions on how to properly install it into the case, you wouldn’t have struggled that much. It took me less than 4 seconds to put it on my iPad.
I did as the instructions said. I did it multiple times. This specific one is just way to tight. I am going to exchange it and I assume the next one will be better.
@@JerrySchulze did you end up exchanging it?
@@saxel5990 i want to know the answer to this too
@@JerrySchulze I found using my heatgun on low around the top corners helped out. Gotta make that hard plastic lip more pliable. Just gotta be careful!
I have it and it took me a few mins to get on. For a ipad case thats a little annoying but meh I saved 100$ and I wont be taking it off so id totally recommend it still
A Logitech combo with a few starting problems to go with an iPad with a few starting problems.
Fitting.
I actually have this same fitting problem with my iPad Air 4 case
really?, hmm.
@@JerrySchulze I have this problem with my Logitech folio touch in the 2 right corners since day 1. Though I think it fits easier due to it having an opening for the Apple Pencil Gen 2
I’m glad I saw this honest review because I was really wondering if I should save some money but now I know I should buy the Magic Keyboard
Poor logitech combo touch on my ipad pro newest gen ! Ive been using this keyboard only for a few weeks and it lack for some its features such as 2 swipe and some loading keyboard function it need to replug to its magnetic before it gets normal but after some minutes it happen again, considering the brand & the PRICE i wish they update their firmware ASAP! I wish the dev see my comments
It seems like companies are missing their mark left and right with the IPad 10th gen. I bought the ZAGG pro keys for My IPad and its cover actually renders and Touch ID useless with its very slim opening and also doesn’t{t hacer any means to secure my Apple Pencil or Logitech crayon.
It's rubber. So use a hair dryer or heat gun to carefully warm it up a little. Then it will be easier to both put in and take out agin.
Issue using pencil on 10th Generation model. In the middle of the screen is drags because of the case. Huge issue. Do not get this case if you are going to use the pencil also.
Drags? can you explain that more?
@@JerrySchulze the stand built in has a small rectangle and when you press the pencil in this area is causes the screen to drag and blur. I could not use the case. Try it on yours as maybe it was just a defect on my case.
Drag and blur? Do you mean the weird screen distortion like when you touch a lcd panel? I have been having the same problem on my ipad 10 as well
I used to consider the folio touch for my iPad Pro but went for the Magic Keyboard. I saw that the Folio Touch experiences elasticity issues with the rubber after a year of use. I think that’s also the reason why the rubber in this folio touch is so tight 😅
they arent that smart or ahead of the game it would simply be an accident
I've had it a year and can confirm this happened to mine on the iPad Pro 2021 12.9 inch. However, I contacted logitech and they're sending me a replacement. I like logitech for this reason, very good customer service.
Bro my ipad pro automatically switched on notifications and doesn’t shut off draining battery. This happens only when using the logi combo case. Any quick fixes…😢
The case will be helpful for holding the pencil in place while it’s charging
Lol
I got this one for my 2017 ipad pro 10.5, best keyboard case!
I have the same setup with the 8th Generation iPad and I love it! It’s just a bit heavy so I wonder if the 10th Generation iPad plus Combo Touch is lighter. Do you know? And I always enjoy your videos and find them very informative. Thank you!
without weighing them they seem similar. But the Magic Keyboard folio is heavier.
9:19! u dont get the lock button or the mute button there replaced with the screen shot an whatever the one to the left of the virtual keyboard button is
It looks very similar to the first version for iPad Pro 10.5, even a had the same issue with the app to upgrade the firmware, for months it did not work until one day, as a miracle, the firmware update was successfully done and the keyboard started to work fine.
I have the Logitech Rugged. Combo Touch for. iPad 10th gen 10.9" iPad.
I have the one for the 12.9” Pro and the kickstand drives me crazy with how much of a footprint it takes up, along with the lack of a dedicated charging port…
For my 12.9 Pro I love the magic keyboard.
@@JerrySchulze Same here.
@@JerrySchulze same!
why do you need an extra charging port?
@@BooleanDev because if I am passing data through the port on the iPad and need to be charging at the same time, the extra charging port comes in very handy.
I always buy 3rd party cases for my tablets but this one looks like it still needs a little work.
Mine stopped working in 6 months I had to throw away
Logi,folio touch
Is no one not noticing the battery drain? Within 15 minutes from 100 percent I’ve notice i lost about 10 percent battery from 100 percent.
Really? I was thinking on getting this logitech combo
@@kevinhernandezarango5005 I notice an immediate battery drain.
turn off backlight, also any keyboard connected with the smart connector will drain the battery
Can the pen piece be removed? It’s unnecessary for my use
i have this case for my m1 ipad pro and its great but the rubber does start to peel and crack after a while i wish we had a in between of the combo touch and the magic keyboard.
May I ask what year your M1 iPad Pro Combo Touch was made? You can tell from the serial number I believe. The first 2 numbers are the year and the 3rd and 4th numbers are the week in that year. Also do you remove the case from the iPad often for the rubber to peel and crack?
You’d think Logitech would check that the case fits properly
The iPad 12.9" version started fraying and the rubber edge started visibly "bowing" within a few months of purchase. It's almost a great case (although a little heavy) but this is a fatal flaw that Logi has decided not to correct.
Specifically, the speaker cutouts, usb c cutout, and button areas started to bow and crack.
@@thatlawyercat They need to reinforce those areas, possibly by embedding wire or hardening those areas.
The actually fixed this problem with newer revisions already where it’s no longer a straight line but dotted instead
It was fixed
@@tecinplace1316 Do you know when they fixed it? I have the Combo Touch for the iPad 11" Pro and the serial number starts 2314 so made in the 14th week of 2023 I believe?
Did you face screen distortion when using apple pencil? Like you could visibly see the liquid crystals moving when you touch a lcd panel
no I did not.
Logitech usually makes good stuff. The MX Anywhere mouse for Mac is the mouse that my iMac should have came with and you can pair it with 3 devices.
Yep, I have the MX Master, MX Keys, and the Anywhere, somewhere.
They need to update the MX Anywhere to silent click. That way when folks yell at me over the Model F keyboard I can say at least the mouse clicks are silent.
What about typing on your lap???????
Just a qn: i noticed that the keyboard does not require charging. Im guessing keyboard draws its power from the ipad? If so, did u notice any significant drop in the ipad's battery life just by having the it constantly connected to the folio as an entire package for daily use?
The battery drainage is significant… it obvious that it isnt optimized for the iPad…
I bought a combo touch for an Ipad Air 3, would it fit for a ipad 10 gen?
Is it rechargeable or is it running on ipad's battery?
Gets power from iPad.
I have the same problem of the unsucessful firmware update for the exact same keyboard case; were you able to resolve it?
After rebooting the iPad it says no firmware update available. 🤷♂️
It showed the same but when reaching out to the support team ; they recommended to re- install the firmware since there are some problems with the touch bar and space bar and the language change after few minutes of normal typing
@@walidashraf4115 how do you reinstall it?
1- open logitech app
2- press on Q W E simultaneously ( on the screen not the keyboard)
3- press on the globe button ( on the screen not the keyboard)
This will allow to re-install the latest firmware.
does this one works with ipad 9th gen 10.2?
you have to put the bottom of the ipad first
I will be getting and ipad 10gen of my own and 2:15 2:15
the combo touch for the base model ipad has never had a reversible keyboard, this isnt new
It did for pro. ua-cam.com/video/Yils3qJlcKg/v-deo.html
can these work on the ipad pro 10.5?
Nope, its for only the 10th gen iPad. They do not have one for 1st and 2nd gen iPad Pro that I can see.
@@JerrySchulze thanks for the reply... I believe they made one for the 10.5 Inch ipad pro at a time but they're so rare and difficult to find. Was trying to get one as a gift but to no avail and was hoping that these would be backward compatible.
The combo touch never allowed you to fold the keyboard case on the back lol what are you smoking
Oh really? ua-cam.com/video/IMkbCUDkzws/v-deo.html
@@JerrySchulze the base ipad
That’s an older version of combo touch.
That’s way too ugly for my pretty iPad!😝
Ha! what color?
You got the wrong case for the ipad. Has to say 10th gen on the front of the package
cocain
“Logitech recommends pushing it up” continues to put it in like you would any other iPad🙄🫥
Got one for my 11" Pro third gen and I love it. It does make it a chonker though. I didn't need an app for mine to work and didn't have as many issues installing it, although it was definitely tight.
Ya, the ones I have had for Pro and Air have been great.
Thanks for mentioning about the keyboard and I do wanted to know if the iPad got into the case without the sides of yellow coming out. I ordered Zagg and it should be arriving tomorrow. Have you made a comparison between these two?
How was it?
I feel like I’m never getting this case off my ipad
one of the problems i face using the ipad is that many times i want to use the apple pencil and also the keyboad for typing. So basically I'd jot down notes using the keyboard and add some illustrations to clarify the things i noted. I can't find any good keyboard folio that supports this kind of flow which I think is much desired, expecially for sutdents. If you detach the keyboard from the combo touch, the keyboard doesn't work as it doesn't have a battery and bluetooth module, so when you detach it, it's basically dead. The other solutions are basically having to carry a separate bluetooth keyboard. I wish this product simply supported bluetooth, or maybe used logitech's bolt technology to make the keyboard contact the case while detached.
I need the same, maybe Bluetooth
the keyboard still works while the ipad is laying flat
but it does take up a lot of space, so i bought a logitech k380
@@BooleanDev I have one too, the best Bluetooth keyboard on the market and still going strong after more than 2 years. Battery life is amazing, 2 years or longer before the batteries need replacing.
You need to put the bottom of the iPad in first, you did the instructions backwards.
I noticed 1 big flaw with this case! When I have this case on and rest it on table and write with my apple pencil then screen flicking happens.but when I take off the case it doesn’t happen. I think it’s too tight!! I saw few other ppl mentioning it on Reddit too. I think it’s a design flaw unfortunately. Thanks for the great review!
same here. just found out about this 😔 its so distracting I don't really want to use it anymore!
That happened to me too!I thought my IPad was broken.
I guess the rear part is not stable. Whenever you open the tablet and put it on the table, the tablet flexes backwards.
Hi, Have you any idea how to fix the Space Bar issue with this Keyboard Please?
I got the same issue, the space bar sometimes suddenly not working, I still don’t have a clue to avoid this problem . Anyone can give an advice, please?
@@tophatindonesia1822 Hi! im planning to buy this combo touch for my ipad air for $165 here in my country are yours still working? and do you recommend it over apple magic keyboard which is also on discount here and i can buy it for $222. Looking forward to your response it will be a huge help for me to decide, thank you so much!🙏
Hopefully, you were able to exchange for a different one. You are the only person that I've seen that had an issue fitting the ipad.
I am having a fit issue, too. The camera on the Ipad is obliterated by the case.
Been using the combo touch on my 11in pro and I love it. My only complaint is that the rubber by the speakers got distorted from holding the iPad horizontally and you can see a little air gap. My sister didn’t have this issue with hers, so I don’t know if it’s my particular model or if I just hold the ipad differently.
Yeah, not being able to flip it around seems like the biggest drawback on this new version. Makes the overall package feel slightly clunkier
There are other people whom have the same issue like you. It is what kept me from buying..
Agree with you but this is the the combo of 9TH Gen IPAD end logetech recycle this for dumb people. This is not fit for IAPD 10TH.
They fixed the issue at the speakers. Look at them at the store
I have same problem
@@jonathanr594what about the rubber around the iPad easily warping?
I had so many problems with this case
Better get this one for your iPad X instead of the Apple Magic keyboard folio for the iPad X cheaper with same functionality!
Lots of great options.
@@JerrySchulze yes for sure I look up for the functionality over price usually
Logitech removing the option to wrap or reverse the keyboard around the iPad when not in use is a ridiculous downgrade and needs to be brought back in future iterations…
My keyboard stopped working after staying disconnected for like 4 months. It works with other ipads and my ipad also works with other keyboards. Buy 1st party products no matter how effective 2nd parties are.
My issue with this device is that when I type a certain characters I’ll a get different character than what I choose. I{m not impressed.
Strange…mine works very well on my pro m2 🧐 I could also remove the ipad from the case with not so much effort
Works for my m2 as well but I can’t get it out lol
Yes, I have a few of them for other iPads it is just this one that is way too tight.
I cannot get the actual iPad in the case at all 😭
maybe you bought the wrong model
I've read reviews of the Logitech Combo Touch that suggest the case is compatible only with 10.2" iPads, not with the 10.9" form factor. I assume this iPad is 10.9"? Still unsure if I should get one...
They have the combo touch for different iPads.
@@JerrySchulze Thanks, have taken the plunge after your comprehensive comparisons 👍🏼
@@JvB very cool. Which iPad?
@@JerrySchulze iPad 10
@@JvB Nice, how do you like it?
Does it hold up on your lap:in bed etc? I want the Magic Keyboard for that reason but there’s no pencil holder 😢
Anyone else combo touch having glitches when their ipad is charging?
Wow - looks like a nice concept but they have some bugs to work out! Seems like a really tight fit. Also, interesting that the wrap-around doesn’t work and the firmware update failed. I guess the wrap-around issue has to do with where the connector is located. It seems very similar to the Apple case. I have always found that the Logitech cases are very heavy and bulky, especially with the keyboard attached. I won’t be buying this case since I decided to buy a used iPad Air 5th gen for less than the cost of the new iPad 10th gen. I prefer the Apple Magic Keyboard, though I wish it had some function keys. Nice review, as always. Happy Thanksgiving!
I have it for iPad 10th gen and had no problem getting it in- I followed the instructions and it took me a few minutes
3:44 I have a 9th gen iPad and no problem using the case.
When putting the case on, bottom side first.
It seems incredible that Logitech has put this COMBO on sale calling it "compatible" with the IPAD 10TH. it's really embarrassing, from a company like logitech I didn't expect it. They are recycling the same product for IPAD 9TH passing it off as compatible for IPAD 10TH! They are freaked out!
whats the problem with that? and btw, it is different than the 9th gen case
Recently bought this for my iPad Pro 11 but I’m having issues with the keyboard not sensing im typing on word. Very weird not sure if I should keep working at it and maybe user error or return it?
you've probably returned it by now, but its probably either defective or the smart connector was dirty
Rather they make a pass though of the pogo pin
Very helpful video! Would you recommend this over Apple’s Magic Keyboard Folio?
Just saw your video on that, never mind!
Awesome thanks so much for watching.
@@hunterbsmith which was the favorite?
Does this case charge the 2nd Gen. Apple Pencil?
The iPad charges the pencil and it all works with the case.
Wait how do you say the word Crayon???? Cran???? Never heard of that before
Many Americans basically slur the middle together and it comes out Cran.
Can you stop the talking hands?
