It appears to be under half the cost ($160+tax) of the Magic Keyboard, but it actually weighs more: 646g to the iPad Pro 11" Magic Keyboard’s 590g. (Assuming the Tom’s Guide review is accurate.)
It appears to be only available for the 11" iPad Pro. Curious.
FWIW, this is about 22 US pennies (at 2.5 g each) difference in weight. That extra weight might not matter when it means that you do not need to carry your laptop too.
What I love about Apple’s is that you can use it on your lap (or on a pillow on your lap) when sitting on the couch or in a comfy chair. I really dislike the whole kickstand form factor because it negates the most useful aspect of the iPad for me: the ability to just pick it up and use it anywhere.
That being said, it’s a very popular form factor, so I’m glad that Logitech is offering it for those who like such things, and I won’t pretend to not be a touch envious of the extra keys
Well, looks like I’m a little jealous of people who chose this over the Magic Keyboard:
Key takeaways for me:
The Folio Touch has better viewing angles thanks to a movable stand, it offers more protection for the iPad Pro because it encases the entire device, and the cover can be folded all the way back to use the iPad Pro in tablet mode […]
[…] that aforementioned stand is malleable and not as sturdy as the Magic Keyboard in a lap.
