I bought the magic keyboard initially. The build quality was top notch, but I just couldn't get over the one angle you were stuck with. I got the combo touch, and I liked it soo much better. I actually like the fabric on the combo touch, and still having protection with the keyboard made me feel much better when not connected to the keyboard.

Superbly done video! I’ve been using the Logitech Combo Touch on my 12.9” iPad Pro and I totally love it. Quick Pro Tip for Combo Touch: pressing the volume up + Lock button on the keyboard quickly does screenshot similar to pressing to power and volume up keys. This is something reviewers fail to mention.

If you drop your iPad Pro it will most likely land on a corner or edge and it WILL crack the screen. Ask me how I know. I had the Apple smart folio cover and it offers zero protection. The Magic keyboard offers the same zero protection. Apple used to offer covers that at least covered the corners and edge. Ive had numerous iPads since the first one and never had any damage and go everywhere with it and have dropped one more than once. Never cracked one. One reason is the edges are protected. Same for my iPhones. A screen repair cost $700! Without a doubt I’m going with the Logitech. They look good , have more functionality, offer protection AND less expensive.

I have the iPad Air 4 and was debating which keyboard to get - the combo, folio or that from Apple. I like the very sleek and almost elegant look that apple’s magic keyboard offers however the somewhat minimal protection and fact that you have to take it off completely for drawing bothers me. I really don’t know!

Great video ... As someone who has the first magic keyboard for my 2018 iPad Pro, I think when I go for the M1 iPad, I"ll grab the Logitech. I've found that the material on the magic keyboard does not age well - it's nearly impossible to keep clean and discolors quickly (smudges everywhere) - I literally hate everything about the material choice that apple uses on these keyboards. I will definitely miss the USB port on the keyboard though, as I often have it plugged in while also using the USB port on the iPad for peripherals.

The Combo is a great choice, thanks for watching Robert! ✌🏻
I bought a surface pro 8 since I like the built in kickstand and was disappointed by how bad windows is to use on a touch screen. I returned the device after a week and went back to my 2018 iPad Pro. I tried to find a cheaper alternative to the Logitech case and I could not find a case that had the surface kickstand. I ended up buying the Logitech combo touch just for the case itself and rarely ever use the keyboard. I bought it since it protects the iPad, the surface kickstand, awesome build quality and If I want to use my iPad as a laptop all I have to do it attach the keyboard. This is so much nicer than the apple folio. I don’t have to deal with the a flap that covers the screen since the kickstand folds nicely into the case. I highly recommend. Just wish they made a version of the case that covers up the opening on the top for the Apple Pencil. I don’t have the pencil and I don’t want one. Now I’m left with a exposed area and it looks weird. That’s my only complaint.
Does the Combo's cloth like covering pucker from use? I've seen reports of this, and users say this is "normal". Love the function keys of the Combo! I've turned the keyboard backlight off on my 2020 MK, it sucks down the battery too fast. Great comparison! Subscribed!
@JCKRGB

I didn’t have any problems like that with the fabric covering in my use (although I only kept it for a couple weeks). It doesn’t sound like that should be ‘normal’ to me though! Hopefully Logitech can sort it out if it’s happening a lot. Agreed, the functions keys are so useful. Much easier access to screen brightness & media controls! And yes, I found the same. They both really eat through the battery with the backlights on. Thank you so much, & thanks for subscribing :) ✌🏻
Whilst I would buy the magic keyboard, the lack of side protection puts me off as I travel a lot and so on that basis alone, for me the Logitech is the winner
I love the Logitech keyboard design but with both the older model of the keyboard and the newer version I found that they stopped working after 2 or so months. Also with the older version I replaced it multiple times and the same thing. It’s ready sad because it worked really well and was perfect in every way apart from that one aspect.
I have the magic keyboard for my iPad Pro. I gotta be honest, I love the quality. I have small fingers, so the keys aren’t a problem. The only thing is you only have one angle which isn’t a huge problem for me.
These devices really boil down to doing different things for different people. I have had both but prefer the combo if for the sole reason that I can flip it into draw mode, or just disconnect the ipad from the keyboard while still having the protective bumpers around the edges. But, this is also based on me 1) drawing, and 2) being rough with my ipad too often to be comfortable without the bumpers on the combo touch.

I agree, if only the combo touch was as sturdy as the surface pro series it would be perfect!
I like to game on my ipad on the go and love the protection so it was logitech for me
I've been using the Combo Touch on mi iPad Pro 10,5" for the last 2 years and I can say it keeps clean easier than it looks. I mean, unless you lay it on a dirty surface, it keeps clean. For me, the size of the trackpad is very important because my hands are not too small. The only negative aspect is the fact that we need a hub in order to charge the iPad while we use an external disk. Anyway, there are hubs that solve this issue. Obviously, the price difference is very significant. Finally, I prefer to carry with 70 grams more weight and not to spend almost two times its price. Thus, the protection I get with the Logitech is not on the apple's keyboard. Good review, mate.

Thanks buddy! I too like the larger trackpad on the Combo Touch, I have massive hands 😄 For sure it’s the better option for protection and price point 👍🏻
