Ive been waiting for someone to actually review this, thank you so so much, you've finalized my decision!
Oh no! Those rubbery textures are a nightmare after a few years. I wa hoping they kept the cloth-like material.
Same! I really wanted the Oxford gray again
You’ve gotta be joking. Those cloth-like designs were stupid and not durable. If you got liquid or skin oils on it, it becomes permanently ruined. The cloth also made it more flimsy.
@@indyjones720 Mine has held up great to oils and liquid, I agree with OP I’m disappointed they didn’t keep the cloth material
Once every few weeks, hot water + some soap + microfiber cloth is good to combat smudges etc. I picked one up this is what I’ll be doing
My rubber casing on the M1 iPad Pro for combo touch has issues where the speaker sides broke and expanded. So rubber doesn’t sound as good
This new Combo Touch is much, much thinner! I like the new design and materials!
474 gram compare to 580 gram Magic Keyboard (11 inch)
logitech is one of those rare third party ipad keyboard case makers that make viable alternatives for the magic keyboard. P.S. The haircut looks dope!!
It lags and jitter with ipad. Apple does shady locking of its ecosystem
That's because Logitech and Apple have an anti-consumer (And anti-competitive) licensing deal that makes them the only two manufacturers allowed to use the Smart Connector on the back of the iPad Pro/Air; ALL other keyboards are forced to use Bluetooth, which has an intentionally limited polling rate cap set at a software level by Apple.
It's the same reason Logitech is the only third party manufacturer with a MFi Certified Apple Pencil Alternative; A similar deal was in place between Belkin and Apple in regards to MFi authentication chips, (And by extension, 15w speeds) on MagSafe when it was "re-"introduced on the iPhone 12.
@@EthanObi thats why i am saying though both are using pogo pin connectors but still after deal logitech trackpad is not smooth in safari and keyboard lags in youtube skipping videos, pause and play etc.
Great review! First vid I’ve seen of this product.
Warning to anyone buying one: the rubber deteriorates over time, which causes it to warp around the speakers and flake off in parts where your hand oil accumulates. It got so bad with mine I felt self-conscious around clients and eventually contacted Logitech to either get a refund or replace it. They replaced it, but I don’t think most folks should use one. Just hoping to help someone dodge a particular bullet.
I had a similar failure with lots of warping on the edges. It’s was a shame because otherwise it’s an excellent case. Think the sides need to be make from something ridged
@@darcsentor agreed. None of Apple’s accessory cases really protect it well, and this case was the best choice for the M1/M2 at the time. Not sure whose I would use now - I keep seeing videos sponsored by ESR’s cases…
Same problem by me
@@ericvannielsen The problem with ESR cases is they look really cheap. They sponsor a lot of videos so it is difficult to find honest opinions on their stuff.
@@peterhahn8280 I am big fan of ESR stuff. Not the sharpest in terms of design, but the functionality, magnet strength and customer support is great.
I am interested in the 11 inch for portability. Weight comparison with the MK would be important. And is there a way to stow the Apple Pencil?
Thanks for the honest review that track pad your right it will load up with who knows what. Thank You
Great review, thank you. I just got the 11" M4 and am waiting to receive this from Logitech. Any idea how much weight the case alone adds to the iPad? I'm guessing 8 ounces?
I’m real glad you mention the cutout for the USB-c connection. I just bought an ESR case for my new iPad Pro 13 inch and the cable of my thunderbolt dock doesn’t fit 😢. But i’m in communication with ESR regarding the problem.
I sent mines back to Amazon
@@CDubb442 I had the option to return but because i really like the case i have fixed the problem myself. I enlarged the cutout with a router (for wood).
Great review 💯👌🏼
Great review! Do you know if it will still fit if you have a screen protector on? Cause I want to see if the case and protectors will fit well together and leave a gap of around a MM at most around each edge between the screen protector and the lip of the case.
really wonderful demo video and big thanks mate. I really love the previous combo touch except it’s too heavy. It seemed that they had improved its weight. Happy for that
Great review. Thanks fr Singapore!
Now if only we can find someone selling it. Do let me know if you can find a place or a link to somewhere that sells it!
Great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
nice video. good job. thank you
Thanks great job, you answered all my questions! 👍👌🏻
Glad to hear it!
Can you open it up in typing mode on your lap when you’re sitting on the couch for example? Curious if it’s quick and stable with that back plate
@@JerrySchulzewhat I found if you still have keyboard from m2 iPad Pro those keyboard also still work if you connect to the bottom the new case from Logitech m4 case
What I dislike about the combo touch is that the sides of the case part stretch out over time and look horrible
Great video. Just a honest review. No Bs. I love it.
I appreciate that!
Can you do a comparison on the total thickness and the weight of both the cases with ipad in it. Thanks 😊
Good Review. Just received the Logitech Combo Touch. I like everything about it. Pulling the kickstand out was not an issue for me.
Just got mine yesterday. Keys feel much better and the trackpad is yuge!
awesome!
Just picked up my iPad and combo touch keyboard for the 13 inch model. I LOVE IT. I’m coming from the 11 inch model with combo touch keyboard. Really starting to feel like a laptop. I’m just hoping we get get some Mac OS type software updates at WWDC. I know they aren’t coming with full Mac OS.
If they would let us boot into Mac OS that would be awesome 😎
Hello
Thx for your review.
I have this combo touch for my m4 11inch ipad pro and i have a software problem,
When trying to download the app, Appstore say not available …
And of course, the Logitech Control is not updated to support this new keyboard.
Do you have the same issue ? plz ?
I have had mine 24 hours. I had the previous linen covered version and I liked it better! Already seeing fingerprints on the new slick version. I like the idea of flipping keyboard to reveal aluminum backing!
check if the case doesn’t build any pressure towards the back of the screen. I used to have this on my air and returned it because I noticed the was responding to unnecessary taps at times.
Hi, im gonna buy an ipad pro 11 2024. Which case i must buy then from logitech? Witch gen is the ipad?
How the thickness with closed compared to the Magic Keyboard? Does Logitech make the whole thing thicker?
great video! would be great if you could weight the cover and the keyboard. I'm wondering how much the case adds to the iPad weight without the keyboard
Thanks, more to come on this.
Any idea if it’s possible to repurpose the “do not disturb” button to lock the iPad like the old combo touch used to instead of turning on sleep/wake on the iPad?
A kind of “hack” is if you want to want to make it more lap friendly is when you flip the keyboard over with the keys facing the back on the iPad, you can use the kickstand and pro it up using the space between the keys. It still gives you so many viewing angles plus it’s pretty sturdy. I bought the 1st generation when the m1 iPad Pro came out and this is where I learned about the lap hack. I used it for years and it didn’t damage the keys and everything worked as it should. Great review. I’m considering buying this new version of the combo touch since my Magic Keyboard will not work for the new iPad
Does anyone have a Vid on the Combo Touch for the M2 iPad Air? I believe that one is in a more Elephant Grey color. Id just like to see it more in action.
Thanks for the review. The magic keyboard looks great, but I just couldn’t see getting it because of the lack of protection around the iPad. It’s interesting that Best Buy is listing this keyboard, but has none in stock and if you order it to be shipped, it’s expected shipping date is June 3. Then I found out it was for sale in the Apple Store? I wonder if the magic keyboard is actually made under contract by Logitech for Apple.
Hey Jerry! Great video. My question for the review would be, how much does the combo touch weigh? Is it lighter that the previous generation and how does it compare to the Magic Keyboard on this regard?
They old one was really way too heavy. Even with just the inside case. Same with the Inateck which follows the same philosophy with the detachable keyboard. I need something like that but with a lightweight inside case.
Hello, how much does each piece weigh separately, thank you
Thanks for your great review. Perfect timing as I am currently looking for the right keyboard for my new iPad Pro 13. I am quite frustrated that the Magic Keyboard Folio is no longer available as I use the iPad quite a lot as a tablet with the keyboard fully folded. You can of course remove the keyboard from the case with the Combo touch … but can you fully fold it as well? I currently have to trade off between Apple Magic Keyboard + Picata MagEZ Pro case (for full protection), or the Logitech Combo Touch. So, is the keyboard fully foldable?
Relax, dude. Watch the video. He literally demonstrates all of this.
@@jaredweiman2987 Thanks a lot! Almost perfect! The only thing that is not perfect from my “use-case point of view” is the kickstand. I often use the iPad with the keyboard on my lap of in tight space. But hey, nothing is perfect. To date this looks like the best solution to me. Thanks again for pointing me to this review!
Thx for the review. Will definitely get this keyboard instead of the magic keyboard. Being able to detached the keyboard is a must for me. Is the keyboard compatible with older ipads?
there are other cobo touch models for other ipads.
stupid question that I can't seem to find on the interent, but I always detach the keyboard, because of battery, when you have folded and the inputs don't work, is it still using up your ipad battery? to charge it just like the pencil does?
I bought it. Worth it!
Does the combo touch for the iPad Air m1 fit the iPad Air m2?
Amazing video. Subbed
I'd like to see a future video for your long-term opinion.
I'm worried about the durability. I have the previous combo touch for the iPad Pro 11", but I changed it to the magic keyboard after year and a half. I chose the combo touch because of the function keys, the durability and the extra protection. The outer material is durable enough, but the rubber got loose on some parts. The keys got mushy with time and the "T" key broke and now I can't type comfortably. The ergonomics were not great, my head has to look down for long period if I'm using it on a desk (the magic keyboard's higher up position avoids this).
Also, it was too heavy for long handheld usage.
Thanks for mentioning these things. All great points and good feedback. I am still stuck between the MK and Combo touch though. Got a cheap ESR magnetic case for now until I decide what to get.
Bought one for my new iPad. I like everything except the underside of the keyboard because it attracts fingerprints. It is noticeably thinner than the previous gen though which is nice.
great video. can you use the previous logitech combo keyboard cases on the new ipad pros?
nope, new ones are much thinner.
I preordered the Magic Keyboard at the Apple Store and tested it on pickup day, along with the Combo Touch. I ended up taking the Magic Keyboard home, but after a few days I decided to return it and order the Combo Touch. The Magic Keyboard is way heavier than I thought, and it’s not as versatile as this! The all-around protection and detachable keyboard (for $70 less) is pretty fab. Thanks for the review!
Yea the all-around protection sold me
I am wondering about the battery draw from the iPad to power the Combo Touch. I have the last one (M2, 11”) and I noticed attaching the keyboard pulls a lot of juice from the iPad.
Great review & content as always 👍
That is a small trade off for either this or the Magic Keyboard. Hard to say how much but at least with this one it’s easy to turn key brightness off.
Love the combo touch case on my 9th gen iPad. Allows me to use it as a laptop when I want and detach it for a tablet other times.
Logitech actually address the issue with the holes for the speaker grills for the M4 model. In previous versions, the speaker hole/grill would warp outward and sometimes would break if you kept removing the iPad from the case. The rubber also flaked and scratched as well. The buttons for the case are all rubbed off when I used it extensively for two years. I feel like they should have kept the woven-like fabric of the previous models as it kept its colour and did not scratch.
Already seem to be having issues with mine already track pad seems hit on miss especially on TH-cam sometimes doesn’t make video full screen.
Have one for the 13” Pro - it’s pretty nice. Didn’t expect it to be as premium as the MK, but it’s close enough. That trackpad is HYUGE! Tried the MK in an Apple Store, and it definitely is top-heavy so the LCT footprint is a trade off I’m willing to accept. The fact that you can flip the keyboard with the keys inside is key. Hope Dbrand or someone makes skins for this keyboard.
Does the previous 6th generation ipad pro fit the new combo touch???
Is the iPad protected from drops? Should I say does logitec claim drop protection on this case?
Great Video! I am wondering if the 12.9 iPad Pro will work as well? Is there anyway you can you test this? Thanks!
It’s much thicker than the new one so it won’t fit in the case. There is a combo touch specifically for the other versions, but the older material.
What about esc key that is on Apple nee Magic Keyboard? It seems Logitech’s one doesn’t have it. I think many iPad apps are going to adopt esc key function cause it is officially supported now.
Maybe can mention the weight of it in the comparison video. Thx❤
How is editing like on Final Cut Pro using this keyboard case???
Awesome review! Question. I noticed you are testing the kick stand on your table with a felt surface, showing the ability to set it to various lean angle. Have you tried this on a more slippery surface, like glass or wood table tops? While I'm sure a near vertical lean angle should be no problem. I'm just wondering if the hinge on the kick stand is stiff enough if the iPad was lean down to a very low angle. Thanks!!
I have this case for my 2021 iPad Pro 11‘‘ and the kickstand is definitely strong enough. Though I have to say that after a few months of use the rubber that holds the iPad in expands a little bit, especially around the speaker cutouts. There is no drawbacks in terms of function just doesn‘t Look as nice.
Thanks, I will do that for the next video. Previous versions have had no issues staying in place on hard surfaces.
can you store Apple Pencil inside case somewhere?
How I wish Logitech combo touch has an 11 cm diameter hole in the middle so I can put in a cooling fan while inside the case.
The case was good but it acts like a thermos when my ipad pro gets hot when I max out my games while playing.
If I use this as a stand on a pillow/bed, is it stable?
does it works for iPad Air 5?
Great video, didn't even know they made a new version for the latest iPad Pro's. I have the combo touch for my M1 iPad Pro, and loved it but my only downside that I want to point out is the trackpad; while yes it does work...I feel like sometimes it is not as accurate (skips around when navigating)...etc. compared to the MK. Hopefully this issue is addressed on this version; I know quite a few folks complained about this in the past.
Thanks for the video on this!
Yep, previous versions have had their issues and I will definitely test and let you know what I find.
Looks great, thanks for review. That doesn’t look like 50-60% more trackpad, like half a centimeter max around edges?
Math disclaimer was on the video, lol
I used this for my iPad Air and has been my case/keyboard combo from day 1. I never felt like I needed to change it or wanted any more from it because it has all I need. I've switched to the new iPad Pro 11 and the combo touch for it is always sold out on Amazon! It hasn't come to my country and I really hope it becomes available soon. I've been considering an ESR keyboard case instead but sadly found it needs to be charged versus this one that you just pop on and never have to worry about. Definitely better than the Magic Keyboard tbh
Hopefully the material isn't cheap this time. I bought one for my M1 12.9 and the rubber of the case around the vents started stretching out like big hoops. Never pulled on the rubber in that area or played with it and never even took the iPad out of the case. Ended up getting it warranty replaced, but the replacement had the same issue. Now that I have had it for about 2 years, the rubber actually started disintegrating 😵💫. At one time I even found melted rubber residue stuck to my iPad. This is a device that is in an air conditioned home 24/7. My sister had the same issue with her iPad Air Combo Touch and the warranty rep she reached out to refused to replace hers. Just a heads up.
They silently changed that over the last few months by adding more rubber around the speaker. There isn’t a big hole for the whole speaker part anymore, now there are small holes for every hole of the speakers.
@@oevers Yeah I have seen that one and wanted to get it, but wasn't sure how. All the retailers websites show the picture of the first variant. I went into my local Best Buy as well, but the package they had on the shelf looked the same as mine. If you know a good source to snag one of these, please give me a heads up. Despite my complaint, the kickstand case is a must have for me. No one else makes one like it for the 12.9 Pro. I hardly ever even use the keyboard but I'm willing to pay $200+ just for that darned case, that's how much I love it.
I loved this keyboard. BUT it had 1 big problem for me that I don’t think I will try one again. My issue with the previous generation is that the rubber stretches and warps around the hole port/speakers after a few months. Google it. I had Logitech replace it under warranty, but the replacement started warping within a month too. I think they made it a little better by making small holes around the speakers, but the charging port hole warped as well. Everything worked fine, but it was aesthetically ugly. Drove me crazy. Unless Logitech improved the quality of the rubber they used, I think this will happen a lot.
I had the one with speaker holes and instead of stretching, it cracked and broke. This was the 3rd under warranty and I am done with this low quality product
Cuánto pesa por separado cada pieza gracias
Es compatible con el iPad m2?
Are they going to update it for the M1-M2?
does work with the new ipad air m2 13”?
Love my Logi Combo for my M2 iPadPro - Except - I wish there was a way to separate the keyboard (still working) away from the iPad to have a more mobile version. Doesn’t sit on my lap and I’m laying on my couch. Mostly I’m at a desk but sometime I want to lay down on a couch while working….
I love Logitech’s. Just ordered the air 13 combo.
you mean preorder ?
Hi, thank you so much for the review ! Can you please tell me if the trackpad on the combo touch supports haptic feedback like the Magic Keyboard ?
Thank you
NO,not support
It does not
It doesn’t. But the mechanical click isn’t on a hinge like most so you can press down any where you want
Hi, great review! Why is this keyboard-case not compatible with the iPad Pro 13 M4 NANOTEXTURIZED display? I just bought that version and cant believe its not compatible 😭😭😭
I really need to know this too. I bought it as well. I always buy Logitech cases and would like to again! 😣😩😫
Thanks for reviewing the Logitech Combo Touch. Can the keyboard be charged?
no, gets power from the ipad.
Will it work on the m2 12.9in iPad?
New to the channel, what desk riser do you have?
thanks for stopping by! I am using this one from Aothia geni.us/30NjWyB
has anyone found a kickstand case without the keyboard and the same form factor? I've seen a few on amazon however the cases are wayyy to big.
Combo Touch description link doesn't work
My only concern about logi is that the trackpad freezes occasionally and you need to detach and reattach the keyboard to make it work again. Returned it eventually when I had the M1 Air. Wonder if they fixed it
I haven’t seen that issue on this model, but I have seen plenty of similar issues with previous Magic Keyboard. Think iOS bug rather than keyboard.
Please help! Thank you for this comparison. I keep seeing a message saying "This Combo Touch Keyboard Case is not designed for use with iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) with nano-texture glass."
I can't see how the case would effect the glass at all but, do you know what Logitech case I can use if I have this glass? 😁
I was hoping you'd actually test it on your lap, the previous version supposedly was pretty flimsy while something like a surface pro from microsoft was excellent with a similar design
But, wait, what about the Pencil Pro????
it fits on top with the case on.
great that they made the case portion lighter and thinner. the combo touch for my iPad pro 10.5 added too much bulk and weight to my iPad compared to the logitech slim combo case I had on it before it but after a few years i'm just alright with slipping it out of the case when i want it to feel lighter and thinner while using. I never use the keyboard (which I got before I got an apple silicon Macbook) except for fun. Screen is too small, keyboard is slightly narrow and I don't really do any work that requires me to type much. I got mine for £90 which is a steal for the package. I wouldn't pay that much for a case but it could be argued that it's almost worth it because of how well built and designed it is.
@MobileReviewsEh demonstrated some significant floppiness/bouncing in Apple's new magic keyboard when you touch the ipad screen (only on the newest 13 inch model). I think I will be checking this design aspect of any ipad keyboard case from now on.
I wish they had an updated version for my M1 Pro
Thanks for reviewing this case as there are not many branded alternatives to Apple’s version.
Do you usually use screen protectors on your iPad?
Yes, I usually use matte glass protectors. Will get one soon, hopefully. None of my devices have them right now and I miss them.
Loved your desktop wallpaper. Where did you get it? Could you please share it with us? Thanks!
Assume you mean desktop? Just the macOS 8 wallpaper, I think, that I tinted purple.
On the iPad it is built in wallpapers.
@@JerrySchulze Awesome! thank you
I actually returned my Magic Keyboard because my iPad felt so unprotected… Just got this one and like it so much!! Looks super nice as well!
Where did you buy it? Thanks.
I wish they’d made a similar thing for the M2 iPad Pro
If the case forces you to buy new wires, that has to be factored into the cost. Sounds like the Apple keyboard is better simply because it works with any cable. outside of that, it looks really good.
No ESC key?
My biggest gripe is they didn’t offer grey for the 13”. I’m not a fan of black as it shows all of your fingerprints.
A question: Did you notice the finger tracking on the upper side of the trackpad being spotty, as if it wasn’t reading the finger position correctly? That happens to mine, and I was wondering if it’s an issue with my unit.
Also, what a first run experience. I get it set up, unlock the iPad, and it tells me it needs an app by the manufacturer. Do I want to install it? Yes. Oh, the app is not available in my region. Cool.
ha, I did not get that alert. Previously the app could be used to do an update.
@@JerrySchulzeNo issues with finger tracking on any particular area of the trackpad, then?
(The alert about the app has not reappeared and the keyboard appears to work)
No, I do not have any tracking issues, I would exchange it.
Been using the 9th gen combo touch for years held up great i like the keyboard better than the apple one to
Does the older version also work with the new 2024 ipad air models?
The new iPad won’t fit correctly in the case
@@JerrySchulze so the combo touch for ipad air 11inch for 2022 should also work with 2024 11inch ipad air models? If so, we could save big bucks in return of not having new features
Idk for that price range I appreciate the aluminum body keyboard. In the past I always went with brydge because of that
I never liked the brydge because you had to charge it and was Bluetooth. This connects directly no Bluetooth
My question is whether the Logitech case has a lot of fingerprints and also which case weighs more, the Apple one or the Logitech one.
Can confirm the 13” black Logitech case is a fingerprint magnet. I hate that. But despite that, it’s a great case. I wish they made a grey version for this so the fingerprints wouldn’t be so noticeable.
old Logitech Combo Touch for the 11 inch M1 iPad Pro is compatible with new 11 inch ipad pro M4 ? or only the new one for the 11inch M4 iPad Pro is compatible with the 11inch inch M4 iPad Pro ? On the contrary the new Logitech Combo Touch 2024 is compatible with the old 11 inch IPad Pro M1??
The main question is the weight of this case for a 13’’ model. It weighs 660g, which is more than the iPad Pro 13''. They could have made the keyboard part out of plastic instead of aluminum. I used the previous one, and it was too heavy.
That’s got to be with the keyboard included. Just the case itself shouldn’t way THAT much.
