Logitech Combo Touch for iPad (7th, 8th and 9th generation) keyboard case with trackpad, wireless keyboard, Smart Connector technology - Graphite

I purchased this based on a review I read. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. The iPad snaps in nicely and securely. The speakers have a nice open channel, as does the charging port. The power button and volume buttons are extended to the outside surface of the skin of the "case" and extend the tactile feedback of the button presses nicely. The keyboard attaches with a magnet with satisfying snap as it clicks into place, kind of like the old mag charges on older Macbooks did (I still miss that). The screen goes to sleep when the keyboard is closed, and wakes up with it's opened, completing the overall feel of it really "becoming one" with the iPad. The keys on the keyboard are backlit, which is nice. The touchpad has multipoint features so it operates much like a Macbook does. When the keyboard and kickstand are closed and the whole thing is "buttoned up" it has a nice, snug feel in my hand. I could easily carry it like a book and it's about 2/3 the size of my laptop.A couple of unknowns for me at this point include a few things. First, the rubber loop for the stylus/pen/pencil is a little bit of a concern. It feels like it could stretch over time and potentially not have the snug fit it has when it's new. Additionally, since it's external to the case, I fear that it could get snagged on something and rip out of the seam it's likely stitched into. Second, it's not clear yet how much battery draw the keyboard might have on the iPad. Despite it being a tad thick, it doesn't look like it has an internal battery of it's own to rely on. It attaches to the iPad through the three-point connection on the side of the tablet. Third, the kickstand on the back of the case, which holds the iPad in place while it's in a laptop orientation seems to be a little flimsy. Specifically, the point where it hinges seems like it could become weak over time. Out of the box it works fine, but opening it feels like I'm bending something that isn't meant to be bent. I haven't tried extending it too far because it doesn't seem to have anything built into it from stopping it at any point, so I'm afraid it would just break and end up flopping around. I guess I'll find out over time. Finally, the surface of the entire case (even the palm wrest portion of the keyboard) has a fabric-like feeling to it. While it certainly feels nice and warm, I'm concerned that it could easily get stained and show wear. Again, I guess time will tell.Overall I like this product, and getting it on sale certainly made the cost more palatable. Hopefully if I can be delicate with those portions I expressed concern with, it will last for a while.

Pro:Absolutely love this key board. I love the click to touch feature as I don’t have to push on the touchpad. I like the color (grayish). It’s very sturdy and easy to use with lots of extra commands on the keyboard itself. I love that the keyboard is lighted.Con:It is a bit heavier than I would have liked making my iPad heavier and also the fact that you can’t use it in portrait mode.Recommendation: YES , YES, YES. I would highly recommend it and would definitely buy it again. I purchased 2, one for my hubby and me!

Well worth the money. It was more than I wanted to spend but it was exactly what I was looking for and no other product offered the same things. It works great. It had the mouse pad like I wanted, it has a spot for the Apple Pencil, it charges via the Smart Connector which is great because I didn’t want to have to charge something else. The case offers great protection with or without the keyboard attached. Never had an issue with Bluetooth connection. Never had any issue with the battery.

I’m not one to leave reviews but this is by FAR one of the highest quality iPad cases on the market. It’s incredibly versatile for both work and personal use, with the keyboard being easily removed/reattached, and no charging required. The stand works great, offering a wide range of positions to prop up the iPad. The mousepad is a game changer and the case is slim, durable, and professional looking. As someone who purchased several other cases off Amazon prior, this case is by FAR the winner.

Update: I mistakenly purchased the Combo Touch for the iPad (7th Generation) rather than the Combo Touch for the iPad Air (3rd Generation). Doh! I've removed the complaints about the camera and earphone ports, but stay with the rest of this review (and a new section on the stand).I bought this keyboard for a new iPad Air because I wanted to have the keyboard, the touch pad, and a place for my Logitech Crayon. With a couple of weeks of use, here are my observations:Likes: It works as a keyboard very well. The keys are a little cramped but switching from my desktop to this device becomes automatic after a few transitions. The touchpad is sensitive and responsive for me as I gave up mice for touchpads a long time ago. It does require extra pressure to close the switch to execute a cursor action but you can feel the slight snap when it happens. The keys and touchpad exhibit no lag, with one exception that I'll get to. The feel is better than I expected with crispness in each key and touchpad press. The case is nice and looks durable with the keypad able to be detached for iPad only use with the built-in stand. The app for managing the device has few user-selectable functions, but the OS offers what I need for customization. The stand works well on a table as well as on my lap. It offers lots of adjustment and stays where I put it. Good job on that, Logitech.However: Once in awhile, probably every hour or so of use, the keys or the touchpad become unresponsive. The problem seems inconsistent as one time the cursor can be moved on the touchpad, but pressing it to execute an action does nothing--even when pressing hard enough to feel the switch close. I figure these are breaking-in issues that hopefully will be addressed in a software/firmware update. Or it could be because I had the wrong Combo Touch.By the way, I returned this unit and ordered the one for my iPad Air (3rd Generation). A review on that is forthcoming.

Simply the best keyboard to add to your iPad. Feels and functions just like a laptop keyboard, enhancing iPad and smoothly transitioning from laptop to tablet. Price reflects high quality and user-friendliest technology. Highly recommended.
