Logitech Folio Touch iPad Keyboard Case (Open Box)

I used the apple keyboard for about 2.5 years and switched to this one, here is my comparison. -Price - this one wins hands down -Size/portability - the apple keyboard wins hands down, much thinner -Pencil/stylus - the apple keyboard does not secure the Apply pencil and it can be just knocked off. This one has a strap that secures it. I love that. I used to just leave my pencil in my tablet pocket of my bag so it wouldn’t get lost and almost never used it and it was always dead when I tried. Using it much more now and it’s always charged. -Keyboard/functionality. They both are similar. This one has tactile (slightly clicky, but not annoyingly clicky) keys and the apple keyboard is more of a membrane keyboard. I prefer this one better for typing but that comes down to personal preference. Where this one pulls ahead is the fact that it has a touchpad and the apple keyboard does not, and the function keys along the top that give you quick access to screen brightness, media controls, search, volume, etc. The only drawback on this front is that the “Lock Screen” button is directly above the backspace key. I’ve inadvertently locked the iPad in the middle of typing something (including this review). I am training myself but it is still slightly annoying. Durability - tough call on this one because I’ve only had it a month or so. I switched from my apple keyboard because one of my most used keys (arrow key) bottom left was starting to fail frequently and the edges of the cover were fraying badly. I got 2.5 years of HEAVY use out of it though. This one feels sturdier and is thicker overall so I believe it will last just as long if not longer, but I have no way of knowing that it will. No verdict from me on this one just my impressions. The apple one was constantly disconnecting and getting bad signals from the connectors in the back of the iPad. So much so I would have to literally reboot my iPad to get it to work sometimes. Again, it was after a long time of heavy use but my previous apple keyboard on my previous iPad did the same thing. Then I was stuck with just a really expensive case. -Lap use/tray/table use - If you have a full table with plenty of space (about 1.5-2 feet) this one is just fine and more comfortable. However compared to the apple keyboard, this one is not nearly as convenient on the lap. I could balance the apple keyboard on my lap or an airline table tray just fine and it worked a lot better. This one is much more awkward than the apple keyboard to balance on your lap and just doesn’t fit well on an airline tray table. You can do it, it’s just a balancing act the whole time. Nod to apple keyboard in this category. Overall if you can deal with the lap use and airline tray table use awkwardness of this model, the fact that is much cheaper and has way better features than the apple keyboard, I would personally get this one.
