Logitech LO-920-010119-N Logitech Combo Touch Backlit K (Open Box)

So, I bought a new one of these this week and thought I’d share with you my experiences. Eight months ago, I got one used on eBay to try. So, I know a thing of two about this case. First, I carry my iPad everywhere using a cross body leather bag. So, this case has been banged, dropped, smacked, slapped and even got a little rain once or twice. It still works great. The case is heavy, but… for protection, it does a great job. Again, heavy, between the iPad(1.5lbs) and case(1.7 lbs), you are looking at around 3.2 pounds. But, to me this isn’t awful, as long as my iPad is safe. I have the matching Logitech mouse (sand color) and an aluminum mouse pad. All easily fit in my bag with a 20,000mah battery. I can use it all day long as a portable desktop. Yes… the bag total weight is likely 8 pounds with glasses, wallet, meds, sony earbuds, a giant fold-up knife and voice recorder. My wife calls it my purse. Wives of planet Earth, no husband is going to like you calling his purse a purse. Why? Someone should do a study. This keyboard lets me use the iPad for internet, movies, writing and music all day long in most situations. I don’t need a laptop at all anymore. For file copying, I use a small usb c hub with ssd hd interface(usb 3) HDMI and SD card slots, so I can use my portable monitor (plugged into the battery). So, yeah, two monitor support is still in early days, stage manager is going in a good direction. So all of this easily fits in a small cross body bag. Well not the 2nd monitor, I got a messenger bag for that one.😁 Import features: It doesn’t need to be charged. Uses iPad power. Really great feature you find on very very few cases. You can flip it and fold backwards the keyboard under it, making a triangle, so you can use it in many situations. Take the keyboard off completely and draw with it or use the pen (which, connects magnetically and recharges. Or, you can flip and fold the keyboard back (I do this when I use it on my lap 99% of the time. Above the keyboard is a row of keys. They change brightness, search, key brightness, music control (play/pause, forward or go back) and volume. This is the ONLY case to use the Smart Connector that has this row of keys. I use this row of keys all the time. Love the feel of the keyboard when I type. In fact, my fingers are doing a happy dance even now.😁 My one complaint: I write fiction, yes, I’m a professional liar. So I type a lot. The mouse pad built in gets in the way. There is no way to disable it. But… Amazon sells an aluminum bottom, wrist rest with leather over the top. And they sell thin rare earth magnets. Put two on your keyboard, on the left and right sides of the mouse(so they sit over the magnets built into the case), then use two sided tape and stick them under the wrist rest. And, now the wrist rest sticks there very well. This case isn’t for everyone. I think the one major drawback is using this in your lap. At those times, I just lay my bag on my lap upside down and use the back as a tabletop or I use the virtual keyboard. But, for writing with a flat surface to work on, this keyboard is perfect. And when you close it, the keyboard acts as cover to protect your screen.
