    If you use an iPad for work or as a laptop replacement - you’re going to need a keyboard. The on-screen keyboard just isn’t good enough for any serious amount of typing. The question shouldn’t be whether to buy a keyboard - it should be which one you’re going to buy. If you’re watching this video my guess is that you’re interested in one or both of these options - so let’s break them down, talk about the good and the bad and see which one of these is the best fit for your iPad.
    What’s up, Sagi here and welcome to another Tech Gear Talk. Today we are comparing the Logitech Folio Touch for the iPad Air 4 to the Apple Magic keyboard. I first got the Magic Keyboard, used it for about a month and then Logitech asked if I was interested in reviewing the new Folio Touch. I did partner with Logitech and they sent me this keyboard for my honest opinion

    You convinced me: I'm going for the Logitech case. Granted, the Apple keyboard looks a lot more sexier than the Logitech case. But an iPad is a work-on-the-road instrument. It goes in and out of back packs, briefcases and sometimes it just switches from one pair of bare hands to the other. So it deserves proper protection and after watching this video: I just don't see the Apple keyboard providing that protection. It looks hot as hell and it's prettier than the last 10 Miss Universe combined. But... no protection like the Logitech...

      I had the magic keyboard and while it looks really nice real use is absolutely awful. The floating design wastes a lot of vertical space on the keyboard so the your fingers always hit the bottom of the tablet. It also wastes a lot of potential space for the palm rests and touchpad when they could potentially be much bigger. Lastly the material used in the magic keyboard picks up a lot of liquids and oils so it’ll get ugly in a month of usage.

    something to consider with magic keyboard (despite not having a function row). in day to day use, it puts the ipad closer to your hands while typing, this lets you interact with the autocorrect touch row that lines the bottom of the screen. since most people leave this feature on, it makes it much easier to correct words that could be “slang” or jargon that autocorrect wants to change to something else. just something to consider. would’ve definitely liked a function row, but the track pad makes it simple to reach the control center

      @@fortunezworld6566 I tried that and I am still having the same issues of the software key popping up and blocking the screen. The keyboard sometimes doesn't work when this happens, but the track pad still does. I am guessing it has to due with the fact I'm switching between using the hardware screen to software screen (I teach math with it and will be writing out solutions and replying to messages from my students). If I don't ever use the software keyboard while the case is attached it seems to work fine, but as soon as I use it once, then I need to restart the iPad just to get it to work normal again. It's just a headache, but I'm not sure if the Apple keyboard would behave any differently.

Unfortunately, these are very expensive products and I just think that everyone should buy whatever they're the happiest with. I'm physically disabled due to two trucks hitting me several years ago, and the iPad has been my Savior because I can no longer sit at a desk for long periods.

Family doesn't appreciate the clicking sounds, but I prefer it as it makes me feel studious while working. The functions you highlighted sold me on what I was hesitatant to buy.

    I went for the Logitech case for my 11” iPad Pro and could not be happier with it. The keyboard feels quite good, function keys are super useful, it provides more protection than Apple’s case, keyboard can be folded away when consuming media - a feature that I LOVE, the wrist rests are larger, and while the trackpad used the diving board mechanism it is a much more comfortable shape. Furthermore, I just like the way it looks and feels much better, and the materials seem to age better too.

    You sold me on the Folio. I've been looking at ways to protect my (future) iPad if I took it off of the Magic Keyboard, but then it would be a big hassle. Having one high quality case that does almost everything I need would be better.
    The two main thing I would miss out on for my uses would be the ability the charge while using an external drive (without dongles) as well as typing on my lap. I've used a Surface Pro before and I hated using it as a "lap"top.

    By far the best review I’ve seen. You hit the points that are important. I’m going to get the Logitech as it’s hands down better for typing experience, protection, versatility and price point. The only thing I don’t like, which you didn’t cover, is that the keyboard is flexible.

    Fantastic review! I have an iPad Air 4 and after about a month and a half of use I’m in the market for a keyboard. I thought I’d still use my MacBook Pro 13-inch (2017) for typing intensive stuff, but the speed and convenience of the iPad Air 4 makes me want to type more with it! The LogiTech looks to be the one for me (I’m not interested in losing my Apple Pencil 👍🏾).

    The cloth material on the Logitech was a turnoff for me but to be honest the soft rubbery material on the Magic Keyboard can’t be effectively cleaned either. But I was able to skin the Magic Keyboard which is great for people who like to personalize their gear.
    Also, the glass trackpad on the MK is soooo premium.

    Great review. I haven't purchased an iPad yet and am doing research. I was wondering about the Magic Keyboard and wasn't familiar with other options yet. This was timely and informative. After watching this, the Folio Touch would be the one I would lean toward. I liked the different modes like reading and drawing and typing. The benefits of the Magic Keyboard weren't strong enough to go that direction. And yay, save money! Love that part. Thanks again! Looking forward to watching more videos!

    7:58 when you fold back the folio keyboard does it still type from the keyboard when you have it in this position? i can imagine how frustrating that might be if i’m trying to hold it and it keeps typing from my fingers pressing on the keys because of the position that it’s in in your hands

The magic keyboard is a bit expensive for me and I don’t want to have to use a separate protective case for daily use. Thank you so much for all the helpful information. I kept seeing raving reviews about the magic keyboard and honestly thought it was the only seamlessly functioning option but thanks to this video and your must have accessories one I now know that this works just as seemlessly. Thank you.

    First time watching your channel. Man, this review was so pleasent to watch. I feel much more enlightened than before I watched it, it was very well structured and professionally put together (I really liked the brief summary/conclusion part at the end very much) - even the lighting/background music contributed to an overall pleasent viewing experience.
    Based on your review, I am going with the Logitech Folio. I think they are both super good looking, with the slight edge to the Apple keyboard from a purely design standpoint (as is often the case with Apple imo). However, the superb functionality of the Logitech definitely outweighs that in my perspective - also the extra protection for both the Apple Pencil as well as the iPad itself is a big plus.
    Having the pros and cons pointed out like you did in your video was very helpful, so thank you for that.

Over all i like it and the price is decent as well. Thanks for the video, you made me realize i made the right decision after all.

    • @TechGearTalk

      Thanks Carolyn - appreciate the kind words. I don't love using either on my lap. The MK definitely takes up less space and it "fits" better, but it's top-heavy. The Logitech requires more space so you sometimes have to pull it closer to your torso. Neither is as good as a laptop. I know it's not a great answer, I'm just sharing my experience.

Otherwise, NEVER a Logitech fan because they don't stand behind their products, and would rather argue and fuss with a consumer than make any attempt to make someone happy. See how that played out for 20 years? Thank you sir! Great review, otherwise I would NEVER consider them.

    I’ve watched videos other videos on this and they love the way the keys feel so I feel like that’s down to preference. One thing I don’t think you mentioned was that the Logitech takes more time to unfold whereas the Magic Keyboard just unfolds like a proper laptop. Not a major worry, but something to think about if you want it as a laptop alternative.
