Logitech Slim Folio Pro

A solid keyboard case for the iPad Pro

$119.95 — $129.95 From Logitech, logitech.com made for iPad Pro 11–inch and 12.9–inch (3rd generation)

Logitech’s Slim Folio Pro cases for the third gen iPad Pro 11–inch and 12.9–inch are functionally identical. Well built, they offer excellent protection for your iPad, but add some heft. There’s no Smart Connector, so you pair over Bluetooth low energy, with the keyboard waking and sleeping depending on whether your iPad’s positioned for typing.

The internal battery lasts three months on a single charge based on two hours’ use per day, and charges over USB–C. Since these iPad models are the first that can output power themselves, this means you can charge the keyboard from the iPad itself. There are three positions: typing, viewing, and read/sketch modes — all of which feel natural. The keys are precise and responsive, and backlit with three choices of light level. The catch is magnetic, and the case allows space to connect (and thus charge) a second–gen Apple Pencil.

Costing less than Apple’s own folio case, this one makes typing much faster and easier, and protects your iPad and Apple Pencil very well, even if the whole package feels significantly larger when the iPad is in its case.

THE BOTTOM LINE. A solid and affordable way to protect and type more naturally on your iPad Pro.
