Zagg has a version with the touchpad too, so that shortcoming is resolved :)

You simplified the task for me, i liked your comparison a lot, thank you very much

[@Hightechdad]

Great! Glad that it helped!

I’m by a little late. I have the iPad 9 and got the Logitech combo last week. Another plus is the set of control keys at top of keyboard. Volume, brightness of screen, brightness of keys, and a few other controls. You can lock the iPad w/ press of key also. I also like that closing the case also pauses iPad. Someone may have mentioned in comments but, to me, it’s another the deal maker.

Very interesting, informative and professional video, much appreciated. At 7:42 where You talk about the "Function-Keys" and You‘ve said: … for language changing?? I’m asking because I‘ve got a "Logitech Combo-Touch" for my M1 iPad Air 5 as well, but never noticed a dedicated button for "Language changing"m Is it possible that You provide a little more details regarding this Language-Changing button? Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Thanks for the note! So I have played a bit with the keyboard much more. In the lower left there is a globe icon key. If you are typing, it brings up the emojis. And if you press and hold it, there are a bunch more functions. The globe in combo with other keys give you a bunch of other functions.

So, after 3 months which one do you prefer better? I just received an iPad for my work but want to use a keyboard to write my reports? Please inform. Thanks!

[@Hightechdad]

I use the Logitech and my wife uses the Zagg. I did have to get the Apple Pencil holder I mentioned and link to in the description for the Logitech. We are happy with both but I like how the Logitech attaches, connects, and charges and how it has a trackpad.

[@timmah402]

Thanks for the video! Which case do you think works better while on your lap? I find that I end up having to type a lot without a desk and I don’t want a case that’ll just flip over on my lap while I’m trying to work

[@Hightechdad]

They are both pretty good. But the Zagg has a smaller footprint and the “stand” is more flat. So, given that, it might be a bit more stable.

[@timmah402]

@@Hightechdad gonna try it out today then. Thanks

[@IphoneUnkown]

It doesn’t really work

[@IphoneUnkown]

it’s bad for your lap Becuase it just doesn’t have a stand

[@DianaMartinez-yf6md]

Can you please share the Appel case pencil you mentioned your reader suggested ?

[@Hightechdad]

The link to the Apple Pencil holder (which I ended up getting and it works very well) is in the description.

[@DianaMartinez-yf6md]

​@@Hightechdad my bad, sorry, thanks!

[@DianaMartinez-yf6md]

Does the iPad discharge so fast when the keyboard is connected on the Logitech keyboard?

[@Hightechdad]

I really haven’t noticed it discharge more quickly than without it. It’s pretty low powered.

[@DianaMartinez-yf6md]

Thanks!

[@cromemcos]

I would have given your review more weight if the iPad was actually in the case whilst you did the review!

[@Hightechdad]

Haha well I only have one iPad and it is a bit hard to keep putting it in and taking it out to switch. So I left it out in both.

[@bartlomiejkaczynski8859]

Ok not believing you have not put iPad in that case to show people how that looks 😂
