I mentioned the Combo touch in the comments of your previous iPad video so I hope I inspired your decision. It’s great isn’t it? Haven’t switched my MBA on in weeks. Had iPads for years but there’s just something different about the iPad Pro 11 inch M4. Got an ESR magnetic paper like cover today which is worth a look too. It sits on top of the ESR screen protector too. I wouldn’t get the Logitech stylus over the Apple Pencil Pro though. Too many feature differences for not that much more.

No, because of the file management and constant workarounds needed for stuff that you can easily do on the Mac with a click. If I only need to read, write and send emails (without attachments) then I use the ipad. But I do lots of online meetings where I need to share my screen, conferences where I need to plug into the big screen and stuff like that. Even if it’s possible, I don’t feel comfortable doing that with an iPad and having the audience waiting for me to find the way to show a document…

The ability to detach your iPad from the keyboard and have some form of protection is far better than the magic keyboard where you'd have to buy a separate case entirely
@rorywalters1614 5 күн бұрын
You wouldn’t say this if you are a long term Combo Touch user. The case sucks. Not only it’s way too bulky, making the iPad really unpleasant to use, it’s not durable, the rubber edges starts to stretch out and deform only several moths in use. Protection should not come at the expense of connivence.
@acadiachair 5 күн бұрын
Way too bulky for me. If they made this with a magnetic back, I’d be interested.

Bro, haven’t seen any review of the logi keyboard that wasn’t sponsored by Logitech. It is probably the best choice for my use case, but I’m not gonna lie, if I could see a non sponsored review I’d feel better with the purchase.
@mythicalism1468 Күн бұрын
It’s better than Magic Keyboard in terms of functionality and use cases, however the few things that the Magic Keyboard does it does very well (amazing keyboard, trackpad, and hinge) the only problem with the combo touch might be very long term durability (search combo touch rubber failure)

You can also attach the keyboard backwards and then fold it over the back of the device, so if you are using it in tablet mode, you don’t have to set the keyboard down somewhere. This covers the kickstand, but works perfect if you just want to hold the tablet

@johnboychak5063 6 күн бұрын
Thanks Mark for a nice review of a really good product. I used the first version of the combo touch (the one with the flap to hold the Apple Pencil) for a very long time. However after many, many times pulling the keyboard off the case, the connecting cable inside the keyboard hinge broke and the keyboard did not work anymore. That was a real bummer because I really liked using it. So I bought a new one but was disappointed to see it did not have the flap for the pencil. Anyway it sits still a great accessory!

This keyboard is amazing for my 11” m4” iPad Pro. I had the Magic Keyboard and i use this so much more. The 11” is amazing. I take the iPad to the couch to browse and into the office or dining room to work with the keyboard. This is what the iPad ultra will be like when released in 2027-2028

I bought the previous gen of this for my M2 iPad Pro and love it. And since I bought it refurbished from Amazon, it was only $80! Total steal and highly recommend.
@Daniel-ro6ih 2 күн бұрын
I have it for the M1 iPad Pro. At the time, having a case to protect the iPad and detachable keyboard was exactly what I was looking for. After some months I realised it was not comfortable on the lap and because of the total footprint of the keyboard plus the space you need for the stand, it did not fit on most airplane trays. These are the exact same problems I have with the Surface Pro and the reason why I decided to go for the Magic Keyboard for the M4 iPad. And 11 inches instead of 13. For someone that does not travel as much as I do, it might be the perfect solution. I wish we could have a slim case that fits inside the MK to feel safer when you use it as a tablet.

I couldn’t handle not having protection on iPad. This was the perfect case for me
@petetheofanous72 4 күн бұрын
Logitech missed a trick here. They could have made a detachable magnetic folio cover available separately for when you want to leave the keyboard off but want the ipad protected.
@m.kstudio5077 6 күн бұрын
Ivae had the logitch case since it was launched with my M1 IPad Pro. Warning you now that if you hold the screen for the sides where the speakers are, the case band will start to deform slowly. My case ended up deforming from all four sides and looks hella ugly now. Also the case material is bad because it peels off a lot after a while.

I really loved my old Logitech Combo Touch, until the keyboard "hinge" stopped working properly, and Logitech did not commit to its warranty and everything went to hell. I hope the new version fixed the durability problems.

I had the Logitech (not combo) and returned it. It’s thicker and heavier than Magic Keyboard. Magic Keyboard with Coverbuddy is chef’s kiss for iPad. And yes I’ve successfully switch from Mac to new iPad Air with pencil pro and Magic Keyboard with Coverbuddy. Nothing like Magic Keyboard. Ps. Using this Logitech on your lap is non existent.

The newest Magic Keyboard fixed the major flaw of missing function keys, but the Combo Touch still remains to me as the Magic Keyboard that Apple SHOULD have made the first time.

Worth pointing out it does miss out the extra charging port that the Magic Keyboard has!

Also you need a bigger space to work on with when the keyboard is attached and need to ensure the keyboard is charged.

@kaischmidt730 2 күн бұрын
ergonomically, I still prefer a keyboard that works away from the ipad. like, any bluetooth keyboard. unfortunately, there isn’t any that has a decent inbuilt touchpad. I love my K380, but using it means I also need to bring a mouse or have to reach out to the screen all the time.

Is this keyboard only good on your lap because the magic keyboard isnt good anymore? Had the combo touch on an iPad 10 and it was chucky and found it terrible on my lap. how slimline is the case?

Nope, it's good on the lap because it's good on the lap! And the case is a slim as I'd want it to be!

I have the iPad 9 version, and it has a big issue with the durability of the case. The case part of Combo Touch was made from 3 pieces glued together: the rubber bumper, the hard plastic back and the kickstand. 7 months in use, the rubber bumper started to deform and separate from the plastic back. The bumper wouldn’t fall off, since the corners and the upper side were glued on pretty firmly, but it looked terrible, and felt terrible when holding it. And you can’t glue it back perfectly, because the bumper was stretched out. Also, the bulk of the case really ruins the tablet experience, making the iPad unpleasant to hold in hands. I will not give Logitech another try for my next iPad. Now I’m using the Smart Keyboard cover with a thin case daily, since trackpad is pretty much useless on iPads (I will only slow you down doing tasks), and the whole package is a lot thinner and lighter. I only use the Combo Touch when I need to type a lot.
@rockanroleropr3467 6 күн бұрын
I’ve had this keyboard, twice, and it’s great… until it sucks! The rubber of the iPad case above the speaker grills begins to deform and lose its rigidity and the one near the keyboard connector unglues from the case… if it had happened to one I’d say I got a bad one but it happened to both, even the replacements I received from the Logitech warranty What I especially enjoyed was the kickstand for when the keyboard wasn’t in use, haven’t found a protective case with just that and I’ve searched hard

two questions really. £229 vs £289 for Apple's version - isnt significantly cheaper. And, why is it £30 more for the Logitech iPad Pro version than the Logitech iPad Air version? What exactly is the difference that justifies £30 as it looks identical to me.

I’m sorry but you’re just wrong in many aspects when comparing it to the Magic Keyboard. The MK has significantly superior quality. It’s much more sturdy and fixed, it takes much less space on a table, the keyboard is better by A MILE, the trackpad is much better and much more importantly, a difference that you omit to say is that the logi combo feels just like a tablet cover with a tablet keyboard. The MK feels like a genuine MacBook. It won’t offer you the capabilities of the software of a MacBook, but physically it feels very much like an actual laptop. Yes the logi combo is 90€ cheaper but tbh it’s overpriced. Compared to the actual quality and price of the MK, it should be twice as cheaper.
