Logitech Rugged Folio for 10th Gen iPad (Open Box)

To start: I would choose this over Apple's keyboard folio for 10th gen iPads any day. Not needing to charge the keyboard is huge. You just set it in the case, and as long as the case is attached to the detachable keyboard you're set. The Combo Touch feels chunky, in a good way, for durability. I wish I could get the "school notebook" look for this, because I liked the vibe of my old case and this one is really drab and boring, but that's not even worth a star off and I'm sure someone out there makes a suitable sticker for it. I wouldn't bother with the other versions of this case, unless you are looking for purely a laptop experience. The combo touch makes this a viable laptop replacement, and still lets you use it as an ipad that doesn't have a keyboard. And if you get a 10th gen iPad on sale, like I did, and this? You get almost all of the functionality of Apple's proprietary apps without the huge cost investment. I will say: I do wish the stand to hold the ipad upright wasn't there, and replaced by a built-in hinge that naturally holds up the iPad. But it would also create a balance issue as the keyboard is much lighter. So, all in all, I can't take off points just for aesthetic especially when it's so functional. It holds the iPad up with a stand that was far more firm than I expected, and does give a good amount of angles to view from. I was worried that closing the case would put pressure on the keys, wearing them out over time, but the edges of the iPad housing are big enough that the ipad rests above the keys and isn't pressing down. The keyboard keys themselves have some nice action to them, and they seem durable (if I am shown wrong I am the kind of person to come back and edit reviews). The trackpad is very solid and you can do all of the tap guestures and pinch guestures on the trackpad itself. I needed an inexpensive laptop alternative with some ability for music creation, and with this I get access to Garageband, and can create/edit videos for online use without having to buy a questionable "renewed" macbook that still is overpriced and may not work, or a used macbook that may have been not well taken care of. Installing the iPad (putting it into the plastic housing) can be a bit of a pain even with the diagram, but also that means it's going to hold your iPad tightly. So, all in all, it's a really great purchase if you're looking for a laptop alternative that has a lot of power and doesn't run you your whole paycheck.
