Review on Logitech iPad Air (3rd gen) Keyboard Case: Slim Folio with Wireless Keyboard - Graphite by Andrew Roll

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not bulky at all: tablet accessories

Everyone should be careful with the bulkiness of this keyboard. This is a protective keyboard/case. You never intended to make your iPad so thin. It's not cumbersome at all. It sits in my thin briefcase and doesn't add any weight at all. It's actually thinner than my wife's regular case. The keyboard feels nice, and the only minor flaw with Bluetooth pairing (in the manual) is that you have to press enter on the keyboard after entering your passcode. I assembled it in seconds. The magnet is very strong and the keyboard holds the iPad in place very securely. I use it on my lap in the car all the time and it doesn't budge. The locking magnet is just as strong and keeps the iPad closed and protected. The only thing that bothers me is the battery compartment. It uses button cell batteries, and while that doesn't scare me, sometimes those compartments and connections fall apart after you've used them so many times. My last keyboard needed charging every 6-8 months. I doubt these batteries will last 4 years, but if I live 8-12 months then everything is fine. For what it's worth, this iPad block is the same thickness as my phone with a protective case. Great protection, great keyboard, and definitely worth $99. Additional Info: It's been three months and I'm actually still at 100% on the battery meter and I use it multiple times a day, every day. TO UPDATE. It's been 3 months and the battery life hasn't changed. Another 100%. Although I was skeptical about the battery life, since I've been using this keyboard multiple times a day all the time, the battery seems to be dead. 8 months later and the battery is still at 100%, I still use this iPad daily. impressive

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Almost never
