- iOS cursor support is here and so are the first products!
Apple has it’s own for the iPad Pro range but this iPad keyboard is the first with a multitouch track pad for the regular iPads.
Is this for you?
That depends.
I take a look at what it got right and what it got wrong.

I have the Combo Touch for my Air 3. Personally, I love it. The trackpad is brilliant and the row of function keys definitely sold me.
And yes, this case does add weight and makes it rather thick but if you’re use to carrying around any MacBook device (or most any laptop really), weight should be a non-issue, even if you detach the keyboard and use the tablet itself. Even with that, the tablet is well-protected unlike detaching your unprotected Pro device from the Magic Keyboard. Because of that, I’ll easily put up with a slightly heavier IPad.
As far as the overall thickness goes, I don’t mind it at all. It really gives this whole package a solidity that you really can’t find anyway else. In fact, I feel that if I dropped the Combo Touch onto some concrete, it would crack it while the case would merely have a couple scratches on it. It’s very, very solid.
So for the price and what you get, the Combo Touch is a worthwhile investment. Recommended!

I completely agree with your review. One downside that I have noticed is that the keyboard magnets are a bit too weak.
Lennart Araskoug they are a little on the weak side but they’re plenty secure when closing up the case. I just try not to dangle the IPads while holding the keyboard. :-)
Randall C excuse me , did you order in UK?
Peter's Challenge no, I’m in the USA so I ordered out here
Lennart Araskoug yes that very true. You make adjustments for that but they should hold the iPad better
Finally I found the best review! Thank you and please keep doing reviews.
You're actually the only one who made a proper review with real stuff. Thank you!
Does The iPad Come With The Keypad
Very straightforward review! Thanks for sharing 👍
Wow finally a decent review. Please keep uploading man don’t give up
Thanks for the video and the explanation, I have one question, is the keyboard safe on the screen?
sometime i cant scrolling with two fingers, who can give me piece of advice ! Please.
I have an ipad 9 and found a really cheap used version of the Logitech Combo Touch to buy, but it’s from 2 years ago and it only specifies compatibility withthe 7th and 8th generation ipad. But i’m thinking that’s because the 9th wasn’t out yet, because i noticed on their website that now they say it’s compatible with all 3 generations. So what do you guys think, would it work for my 9th gen ipad?

I’m using a back cover with a stand designed for the iPad bought from Amazon , it looks and works great with the keyboard and oh its making it very light and more stylish .the Logitech combo touch its worth every penny
Can you share the link please
I have the combo touch for my pro. I had it for a few days, and wow it’s awesome, definitely recommend. :)
Good review, keep it up! Have you noticed higher battery consume when using the keyboard?
No not at all. The power it needs is extremely low.
iJR Reviews cool!
Thanks very much! Having had both an early iPad and a Surface Pro (which was lighter) I can confirm the SP kickstand is the way to go. It is absolutely superb on the lap and on a desk. I was keen to get an iPad Air with this case until watching your review, because you are so right! Doubling the weight of the iPad without the keyboard is just not on. Your hand or hands will tire in very little time, so why have a tablet at all? I’m now going to save my money for an iPad Pro with ridiculously expensive keyboard. Thanks though! With love, Ken
whats the difference between folio touch and combo touch??
Hey what do you think of the logitech slim folio?
Hello sir. I was trying to order the one for the air. But it's out of stock. Can I order the one for the gen 7 instead? Awesome review by the way. Keep it up.. 👍
I guess this one is also compatible
with 7th gen iPad.
Where I can find that key board??
Is there any other brand than logitech??
excellent video, I have a question, does that keyboard affect the battery consumption of the iPad a lot?
No
It’s also available for the iPad 7/8 10.2
Can I ask about where did you order , in Apple site or Logitech site? You ordered in UK 🇬🇧 right?
Apple site but Logitech have it too.
Great review.
I really like using this keyboard. It's much better than Apple's Smart Keyboard Folio
I tried to check it out if you had it on the link to buy it.
can you just connect the keyboard itself to the smart connector with out the rubber protective case?
NiVi OoF :D yes you could and it works fine but you would need to have something to prop the iPad up against.
NiVi OoF :D there are a few third-party cases that can be used with the Combo Touch keyboard but then you have to buy something to prop it up with as iJR mentioned. I have scoured the internet trying to find such a case that also has a built-in stand but nothing so far. For me I wouldn’t mind finding a clear case like that. But I’m perfectly fine with what Logitech did.
It’s a trade-off between quickly having the tablet naked and protecting it while carrying it... For home use the magic keyboard is better in many respects, but for carrying it around it’s not enough, you need more protection, while the logitech is an all-in one solution for that....
That’s the difficult balancing act really. Unfortunately I think it fails on one and is too thick on the other.
@@ijrreviews7295 yeah, in the meantime I have discovered a technique to avoid using the case at home (and only use the smart cover as a stand) and I use the much lighter smart keyboard on the go...
Recently purchased, and think it's a great product, especially for the price. My one minor gripe is that whilst typing, or scrolling the keyboard seems to lose connection for the tablet - only for a split second - but it's there. Is anyone else having a similar issue?
Great review by the way 👍
Same issue here. I have to reconnect the keyboard.

hello.. nice review. have you tried using other smaller and thinner back cover while using the keyboard? nice review
mercurio rivera I haven’t tried it but you could have a couple of mini kickstands stuck to the back and it would work. But then the keyboard looks odd when closed and is slightly wider than the iPad so the overall effect is not nice. But yes, in theory you could and it would work fine as long as the cover didn’t need to use the smart connector.
I really don't understand why it's so heavy and Thick! disappointing. The Surface go and Samsung TAB S6 Keybord systems are so better!
@@samhel9063 lol its meant to be a protective case for everyday use as well as for working, I guarantee that if you put this gainst one of those Tablets it would damage the product alot less when compared to drop tests
Really nice review and presentation. I just got a new bigger version of the iPad Pro 10.5 (512GB LTE and 64GB given to wife) and this for £700 all in. I couldn't justify spending £500 on new accessories more so than the cost of the new iPad. It's on back order from Logitech (25% off as a student) so this was a really nice summary. I tend to read papers and the times via press reader more so in landscape nowadays anyway, so the stand and weight actually a bonus rather then negative for me!
good review man..keep it coming 👍🏼
Keep it up 👍

sam Hel Me neither, typing on mine now using a 10.5 inch iPad Pro. Coming from a nice slim case that had a pencil holder and the Smart Keyboard this combination is around 288 grams heavier on top of that (911 grams vs 1199) so about the weight of an iPad mini on top... Also pretty thick, the back case could have been so much thinner I believe.
Really well done. It would be great if you spoke a little louder, but really great content!
Who else went out the vid to see if it acc had 67k likes or something like that
sometime i cant scrolling with two fingers, who can give me piece of advice ! Please.
