Combo Touch was almost perfect for me. I wish it had the magnetic closure to secure the apple pencil.

@zekiz774 2 ай бұрын

That's litterarly the only reason I went with the Folio Touch

@Throwaway_4928 Ай бұрын

the magnet strong enough imo

@ianaskew7166 4 ай бұрын

I have the folio touch and love it, it does add weight but the rubber edge and magnetic clip ensure the iPad and pencil are safe when transporting. The case does get grubby but is showing no sign out wear when working in engineering. For the price you can’t complain.

for me the more secured way to attach the pencil is a no brainer, and its cheaper, its ok for a slightly less performant and smaller trackpad. And not attachable means at least you won't lose the keyboard. Conclusion Folio touch. thanks man. Great video

I’ve tried SOOO many cases (kickstand type, hard shell laptop types, kickstand types, and others). Fact is there IS a real difference with a Smart Connector keyboard vs. Bluetooth (which means it’s down to Apple and Logitech if you’re a power user). Bluetooth Trackpad/keyboard cases can get buggy, lose connection randomly, and lack some responsiveness. Or the material shows wear badly. Having the Smart Connector and dedicated shortcut keys, plus Logitech’s masterful case material, the Combo Touch is really hard to beat it. The main issue with Logitech that I ran into started with the Folio Touch which had defective keys (#4 and #5) that popped off without warning. And I couldn’t get them to reattach. Logitech replaced it with another and the same thing happened again. Design flaw. Logitech thankfully replaced it with the Combo Touch which worked great for just over 2 years until the wiring in the flexible connector flap went bad a few weeks ago (just stopped responding). I don’t abuse my gear, but I do use my iPad and trackpad/keyboard case every day. Right now I’m using my first Folio Touch without a couple keys missing (which Logitech said I could keep) until I find another case I like. I’m trying one more before resigning myself to buy another Combo Touch. The good news is they now offer it in three colors instead of just one (at least for my iPad Pro 11, 3rd gen.).

Which one is better for gaming? Bought the portfolio, but we can’t seem to set the external accessibility keys since it’s not Bluetooth. So for my son who wants to have a keyboard to play Roblox, am I missing a setting? Is the Apple keyboard Bluetooth that would allow for external accessibility settings??

@njnjco 10 ай бұрын

I'm getting a Logitech combo touch. I want to be able to detach the keyboard, so that I can use the ipad in more ways and I have a mechanical bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth mouse that I would prefer to use whenever I have the room to do so instead of the ones built into the case. The Folio Touch would get in the way of that because I wouldn't be able to remove it. I also prefer the inverted T shape for the arrow keys and to fully depress the mouse pad to click, but those are secondary reasons.

Nobody talks about the biggest downside to these keyboards, which is that when you fully extend the keyboard on a table it becomes really long. If you have any intention of using less than a full sized desk on this you wont be able to fully extend the kickstand, and have the keyboard out.

So what would you recommend? I need this for college use, and the tables are indeed quite short. I have an iPad air 5. I'll need to use software like R and SPSS, it seems pretty bad to use from an iPad air 5 with no keyboard(even with remote connection to my pc at home)

does anyone know if the combo touch can do a good sketching angle? I know the folio touch can flip so the keyboard is behind the iPad and reach a perfect sketch angle but i’m wondering if the combo touch can do the same?

@behymervalenciaquejada6885 10 ай бұрын

I don’t have it (Checking reviews because I’m planning to get it) but I’ve seen that you can detach the Combo so it’s only the case and not with the keyboard, so it’s more comfortable to sketch and just use as an iPad and not like a “laptop” (with the keyboard attached)

The problem is the kickstand. If you use the iPad on your lap when typing, it becomes unusable...

Correct

@randyanderson2285 8 ай бұрын

I used to use mine in the lap all the time. It was a little floppy but still possible. The real problem with the kick stand is that when you use it on a desk or table it makes the iPad really long. Like really really long. like way longer than a big MacBook Pro long. That’s the biggest downside to this style of keyboard. I use the iPad as my main personal device, so on the lap in my recliner or on my desk during my lunch break. I dont have a huge desk at work and when i would use this keyboard on lunch i would have to move my keyboard totally to the side and I wouldn’t really have enough to room to angle it with the keyboard attached without moving my iMac backwards by a couple inches. I started using the Smart Keyboard and now i can just push my keyboard back against the iMac and im good.

@ThomasEJohnson 8 ай бұрын

@@randyanderson2285 I had the same issue as well. The Magic Keyboard, or one of the 3rd party look-a-likes that connect via Bluetooth are a better choice for me. With the iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard getting a redesign next year, I don’t want to buy a new more expensive Magic Keyboard for the new iPad Pro, so I think I’m going to go the 3rd party keyboard route when it comes time to upgrade.

Oh why did I wait so long to replace my ancient iPad? kzfaq.infoUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U This is a perfect size with perfect features. Like all my Apple products I am able to intuitively navigate my way around. I like the fingerprint button, though I have to update it from time to time. I purchased a bluetooth keyboard so I can use this to write more easily. And the price was outstanding. I take my iPad with me everywhere. It's my buddy.

So, who's the winner of your favorite keyboard?

@amandawright1372 11 ай бұрын

I think that's subjective really. For me, it would be the Logitech Combo Touch as it is so versatile. I love that you can remove the keyboard whilst still having the protection of the ipad and I love the kickstand. I had the Combo Touch for the iPad 9th gen. I now have one on order for the iPad Air 5th gen. Expensive, yes but, in my humble opinion, it offers better value for money and suits my needs perfectly. You have to look at what you need and how much you are willing to spend. All three keyboard cases offer pros and cons.

I have the Folio Touch for my 11" iPad Pro and I love it, until, after about a year of heavy use the keyboard just stopped working due to several reasons, one being liquid spill, but until there it was absolutely great, also it is not available in Portuguese, which is the keyboard I'm used to. But I am going to order the Combo Touch in Italian, which is the closest to the portuguese keyboard I could find, and I love the idea of the detachable keyboard, though one thing I wish they had, is a keyboardless screen cover that also attaches like the keyboard does but is much more lightweight, for days where I don't need a keyboard and want to be a bit lighter but still want my screen covered when needed.
