Max Tech Logitech folio touch is better value

[@richardalbrin5602]

I prefer Apple magic keyboard because it’s slim and while note taking Logitech one becomes bulk. Apple one is a bit sturdy and slim so to conclude most of them come to iPad Pro over the others though pro maybe a overkill is only due to aesthetics so if the case is bulk it spoils the whole .

Yes you do need to visit the Apple store to fix this.

If it says “Logitech software upgrades minions department” then you've walked too far.

[@RyanHryciuk]

The Logitech top flap also has a sleeve for the pencil when traveling for even more security, this is over looked by many. Great little feature. Great depth on the comparison. Here is to hoping for a 12.9 version. Love my Slim Folio Pro w/ a magic track pad II for now. The lack of shortcut/function keys on the Magic Keyboard is a deal breaker for me, just can’t understand why Apple couldn’t do it. They could have been small and under the angle of the iPad, you could learn them easy enough. And Hey, when you max out a 12.9 for $2K+ CDN you want a bit of protection, your point is a little jaded when you get product sent to you for free.

[@JasonfromEarth]

I was happy to see a comparison between the two. But you made some points I cannot agree with: -You compared the ease of removing the device from the case. Apples to Oranges my man. The whole point of the logtiech is that you don't remove it from the case. They designed it to not fall out so of course it will be more difficult remove. Instead of removing it from the case you wrap the keyboard around. That way the device isn't exposed while in tablet mode which it would be on the magic keyboard. -You showed how inflexible the keyboard was on the magic keyboard by testing the keyboard. But when you went to test the keyboard flex on the logitech all you did is flex the hinge. 18:20 Again, apples to oranges. Of course the cloth hinge will flex. It's cloth. It has to fold around both ways to be used when the case is closed or completely open (in tablet mode). I'm not trying to rip into you. Your points about the kickstand, the inaccuracy of the trackpad (and that it's diveboard), and how weird the flap was with the pen in place on the logitech were accurate. Thanks for the review.

[@nathanvrvrt]

I was thinking the same and he was also constantly complaining about the hinge on the back while most people like versatility and the magic keyboard has only a small angle while logitech goes all in (in my opinion)

I watched this video earlier today and it helped me decide on the Logitech. I went out and purchased it. Using It now and I’m very satisfied. I thank you for your in-depth review.

[@angelo_villones]

My overall thoughts: The Magic Keyboard case is the more aesthetically pleasing option while the Logitech case is the more functional option. Sure the Magic Keyboard has the USBC port and the Logitech case is made from a better material, but my overall point stands. For most people, the Logitech case should be the default option if you want a keyboard. It’s only the die-hard iPad Pro fans that have to make the decision. Personally, I’d go with the Magic Keyboard case because I am that kind of iPad Pro user who cares about the aesthetics. But in the end, you can’t go wrong with either option.

[@genefactor007]

I couldn't agree more. The reason I'd go with the Logitech case is I really like the protection it provides as well as the ability to use the iPad Pro in tablet form. Other than that I do really love the Magic Keyboard. I didn't like that price very much (haha) but it's a really nice keyboard case. Oh and I HATE how oily it gets.

[@dexterbrown]

Thank you! I’d much rather watch a review for the first time from someone like you who has a more fleshed out thoughtful opinion. This is a situation where both options are great but I think this video didn’t do a good job truly explaining the benefits of the Logitech.

[@davidgates5699]

[@devandevan1403]

Are both iPads on iPadOS 13.6? I think another reviewer said the fluidity and of the trackpad and the backlighting keys on the Logitech were fixed in a recent update.

[@dexterbrown]

There are quite a few things you didn’t talk about or gazed over. Like how you can use the Logitech Folio handheld. I probably won’t use it that way very often but it’s nice that it’s an option. Maybe you mentioned it but I missed it. Also, there’s a movie-like position mode for presentation, also a sketch mode position for drawing on the iPad with Logitech Folio. All things that make the Logitech Folio more flexible (literally) than the magic keyboard (which is a great keyboard as well). Just seems like you only made this video to say the magic keyboard is a trillion miles better than Logitech folio. I saw the product breakdown and it’s so worth it for the price but not even if you’re looking for budget. Even if you have the extra money to spend, the Logitech Pro is a severely great option alongside the magic keyboard. Durable, easy to use and things like the diving board trackpad is easy to get over, 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@sindei2989]

[@Amrit0596]

That's the theme with all his videos. He is an apple sheep. Exaggerates anything that apple does a teeny tiny better and passingly mentions the achievements of competitors all the while making excuses for why apple is a victim who couldn't make their product better. For ref, see where he compares trackpad sizes.

I think Max Tech has been using the Magic Keyboard for a while and the review is biased for that as the element of nostalgia kicks in. Logitech Folio Touch is objectively much better given the price and features.

8:46 You’ll notice here that the Logitech has some lag to it. If you slow the video down to .25x speed, you’ll notice that when he lifts his fingers off of the keys and stops typing, the characters continue to input for quite a moment, compared to the magic keyboard where the input stops as soon as he lifts his fingers off of the keys and stops typing. You’ll also see the issue at 9:26. It’s pretty noticeable in my opinion, even playing at normal speed

[@Justinian43]

go for the logitech, the hinge of the magic keyboard case to keep it for drawing makes me nervous that over time it’ll be damaged. Also if the magic keyboard drops, that iPad is definitely breaking. Pay 300 for no protection is kinda silly

[@bryanmiller476]

They now have the combo touch version for the iPad Pro, it’s $199 and sold at Apple stores right now and coming to bestbuy at end of May

[@LilyLikesTech]

The thing that I love about the combo touch is the fact that the keyboard portion was able to disconnect from the case. As someone who uses my iPad for mostly handwriting, I really hoped that the folio would have a similar ability to detach the keyboard as it is what makes the combo touch so great in my opinion.

[@AbuFarouq]

This. I wonder why its not a feature. The detaching feature is something really useful.

[@LilyLikesTech]

ADS SY I think the detach isn’t a feature most likely front the different locations of the smart connector. On the pro it is on the back while the air and iPad have it on the horizontal bottom of the device where the keyboard would detach so I assume it was an engineering complexity to add it in. Even still, I would be willing to pay a bit more for such a feature since it is something I would use constantly and is the reason I don’t have the magic keyboard, even tho it detaches it doesn’t provide protection.

[@jerryli6763]

Please answer this: can you just tap to click on the folio touch, or do you have to click it? I personally prefer just tapping so if it doesn’t click it doesn’t really matter, as long as you can click on the top

Logitech just updated the keyboard configuration app in the past day or so to fully support the iPad Pro. Previously, it was only flashed for the Pro 10.5" and 3rd gen Air.

[@RonnieTeeSmith]

It’s a subtle feature but the Logitech flap has a small sleeve in it to store the pencil even more securely. The Slim Folio Pro has it and I saw it on this video too.

[@BTru82]

Got it today and already decided to return it. It’s great, for the most part, but much bulkier and heavier than the apple magic keyboard case. I don’t know about you but I never have dropped an iPad so all that extra protection is a bit my. The function row is amazing and I don’t know how Apple missed that. This thing is heavy. Main reason I am returning is due to lack of lap usability. It is impossible to use it on your lap if you want to use the keyboard.

[@CS-xe1oh]

I find it surprisingly good in the lap, granted that I normally use it when sitting in bed or sitting in a recliner with my feet on an ottoman. Though I am typing now with my feet on the floor and it is fine as well.

[@imakethesites3048]

I spent $328 on the magic keyboard plus $28 for a skin to cover the keyboard surface plus $43 on the cover buddy to kind of protect the back and sides and provide the place for the Apple Pencil, total 399. Plus tax. A Logitech rep just told me I can maybe expect a12.9 version of this more complete and useful keyboard case in a month, which would allow me to get back about $200, if I return the case Buddy this week. Or I can return all the accessories and the iPad Pro and almost have enough for a 16” MacBook Pro (yeah, I’d buy it instead of waiting)

[@WillNewcomb]

Thank you for a really unbiased comparison. While I have a different Logitech Slim Folio kB for my iPadAir3, it has similar function keys. One of them I’ve never noticed before is the onscreen keyboard key. Thanks for enlightening me !!!

[@artsilva]

Coming from a photographer or film maker's point of view who may use iPads for editing, data/storage transfer and overall laptop like workflow, I would now lean towards the ergonomics of the Magic keyboard for the simple fact of freeing up your single USB port for readers and external HDs and using the hinge port for continuous power or charging while you are working. That is a HUGE bonus in my experience. People who complain about the lack of 360 fold for drawing etc. forgets that on the MK the iPad detaches with a finger and re-attaches perfectly just by placing it on because of powerful magnets, Plus you don't have a bulky case to hold that'll make it heavier.

[@jesusbrezmeslecha1120]

I think the combination of I-Blasson magic keyboard compatible bumper with Apple's magic keyboard and a second, regular , cheap TPU bumper if you want to protect your iPad when freeded, you get the best combination team. Apple's Magic Keyboard keying feeling plus trackpad snappiness is second to none!

[@alexmichael7997]

I tested the MK the only downside i found is that if you are a writer or do a lot of typing it's not comfortable, keys are very compressed close to each other and I would prefer more key travel

In 13:57 - 14:20 he keeps talking about the brydgepro+ keyboard but it was not flashed in the video, it was rather the logitech combo touch for the regular ipad (i think) but still, kudos to you and your team! Nice review. I'm definitely gonna get this rather than the smart keyboard folio by apple.

[@egauci1]

The cost difference is definitely attractive. If I didn’t already have the Apple Magic Keyboard I’d definitely be tempted. But for me, this would be the only draw. I don’t care about the function keys - leaving them out allowed Apple to place the iPad significantly closer to the user. My setup includes the Switcheasy CoverBuddy case, which is a perfect companion to the Magic Keyboard. You get protection, including protection for the Apple Pencil, without losing the easy magnetic mounting. The case allows easy access to the hardware buttons, much better than the Logitech Folio. Still, as I said, the price difference may well be worth the compromises.

Here is to hoping for a 12.9 version. Love my Slim Folio Pro w/ a magic track pad II for now. The lack of shortcut/function keys on the Magic Keyboard is a deal breaker for me, just can’t understand why Apple couldn’t do it. They could have been small and under the angle of the iPad, you could learn them easy enough.

Sir Max Tech what would happen if you flip the folio keyboard on the back of the iPad and accidentally press it while gaming?

[@MaxTechOfficial]

It gets disconnected when you flip it over

what i’m getting is that the magic keyboard has some creature comforts because they’re a first party product, doesn’t seem worth it though if you’re not gonna be using them as a laptop replacement and just need a good keyboard

[@joseabraham777]

I have had the equivalent of the Folio Touch on my 10.5 inch iPad Pro, it works, but i didn't liked the trackpad, neither the weight of the case, i would love a keyboard/case with the trackpad of the magic keyboard and the protection of the folio but without being too heavy

[@HiFiInsider]

The Logitech is your fathers KB case and the MKB case is that kool kid that attracts all the ladies you want to hang out with. LOL.... I returned the 11" MKB case bc of the weight, small trackpad and the lack of function keys. I got the Smart KB case + Apple trackpad in SG and it works very well.

[@ExtraSpicyRice]

I'm just wondering are the keys smaller since on the magic keyboard some of the keys are squished together, while it doesn't seem to be on the folio touch.

[@TheFPSPower]

The Logitech seems to be wider because of the case thickness on the sides, that's probably the major difference

[@jaynam6601]

i have that keyboard and arrived today. the keyboard is actually amazing and wider. and from the video says, its lagging. after today's update, everything is smooth and so good.

[@meese1k]

Honestly, I have gotten used to the magic keyboard. With the 11 inch iPad Pro. I actually like how close they are, it’s easier to reach to the keys. Not a downside at all

[@danielcoelho5115]

@@jaynam6601 so the lagging goes away with the update?

[@Jonathantuba]

The other option is the Apple smart folio keyboard if the trackpad is not important. I have got the new magic keyboard, but still enjoy using my 2018 smart folio. I use it around home where there is always a risk of my kid knocking drink over the keyboard. I like the trackpad, but can happily use the iPad Pro without.

[@TechVerveyt]

It all comes down to price. The magic keyboard is almost double the price of the Logitech Folio Touch, and I don’t think it’s double better! If that makes sense lol

Does the case affect the quality of the sound

[@PuddinPie]

I see the Logitech as a hybrid of apples smart and magic folios without sacrificing too much of the magic folios laptop style function. I think the magic is good for users who will just use it at home or maybe a cafe or lecture but if you are out of the house and working alongside it, picking it up and moving it around, taking a photo here and there and then transporting it inside a bag then that extra versatility and protection is needed. The choice comes down to how you will use your iPad

[@Korean_Yoon]

best ipad pro keyboard comparison really love this video man

[@sriramsundar8388]

Logitech targeted a good market. Basically whoever bought the 11 inch iPad Pro just wanted a great tablet for drawing, photoshop etc. So I don't think anyone will be buying a laptop dock like case for the 11 inch iPad Pro unlike the 12.9 inch which I believe people buy it for true laptop replacement(provided they have a desktop like Mac mini, iMac etc).

[@Anshulb04]

“plasticky denim” uhhhhhh. Idk it looks very similar to the material used by amazon in their newer echo devices.

[@meese1k]

True. I like that material though

[@Wishwader]

The different is it's just for looks on Echo devices where as you interact with it on a mobile device.

[@genefactor007]

@@meese1k Haha! I'd take 'plasticky denim' over that soft leather-like material of the Magic Keyboard. I have the Magic Keyboard and let me tell you, the thing is an oil magnet. Doesn't look all that great after some use no matter how much you try to keep it looking like new.

[@meese1k]

@@genefactor007 i have it as well, and you are completely right. My reccomendation, buy stickers!

[@jayardorado8757]

Now im confuse. the Logitech provides more protection and its also serves the purpose and functions, well il go for Logitech. I might consider the cellular version of Ipad Pro

[@allenschneider1847]

In general do you recommend the 11in ipad over the 12.9?

[@kakab66]

The only one reason I didn't take the logitech was the lack of pencil protection and the way the flap behaved once the pencil was in position.

[@mikemiles3068]

I have been waiting on this video all day❗️👍✅🤗👏

[@haseebullahpopalzai2315]

What if both comes in same price which one should be preferred?

[@franzdrack9529]

Do you know if the Folio Touch also fits the 2018 iPad Pro 11"? The Magic Keyboard does as far as I know.

[@MaxTechOfficial]

Yes it does

[@Butterkiller.]

You didn’t know but there is a little gap in the flap where you can sleeve the Apple Pencil inside, so when using just leave it on the top of the iPad case when not using sleeve it inside of this gap where it will never fall out.

[@liangymendez4164]

So what do I get for the 12.9 inch other than the magic keyboard

[@ScottDeSalvo]

If logitech made that folio case with a 360 degree hinge, the form factor would be no larger and it would be superior to either of these options.

[@aquaphoenixx]

This video was amazing Vadim! Looking at both cases side by side for so long was very useful for me. Both cases have strong and weak points (depending on perspective) and they encompass 99% of the potential user base. In my heart, I want the Magic Keyboard and now I can justify it in my mind as well. I have an iPad Pro 10.5 inch and am waiting for the new 12.9 inch redesign. When I factor the price of the iPad, the Apple Pencil and the difference between Smart Keyboard Folio vs Magic Keyboard - it is 180 € in my country. In my example, this is 11% difference comparing the total configurations. And I am getting a configuration that is more than 11% better :)

[@EmSixTeen]

Does the Logitech one support the older 11 inch?

[@philippinecowboy]

Great review but you never talked about accessories that plug into the iPad. I've been hearing that the Logitech Folio Touch will not work on many accessories, one of those being the USB-C HUB due to the sides being covered in the plastic case but it does work with the Magic Keyboard..........your thoughts on this??

[@stevenmao6766]

So from what I understand, Logitech dominates the MKB in utility and practicality, while MKB is the top choice if you want to show off and have slightly better key feedback. Logitech: -Actually protects the iPad -360 flexible, meaning you can draw, take notes, and get better angles -FUNCTION KEYS -Longer-lasting/less dirty material -doesn't cost literally another iPad MKB -the keys feel REALLY good -a charging-only usb-c port? -lose the ability to take notes/draw with the keyboard on -doesn't protect anything: it's not a case but just an attachment -super easy to take off -less wobbly on the lap -you'll look richer?

[@giovannisilva1571]

Anyone knows if the keyboard behind Logitech stop rocking when u turn it to the back os the iPad? Because if it continues running then we can’t actually use it with the keyboard on the back...

[@mikebulat]

I bought the SwitchEasy CoverBuddy case for my 11” Pro from Amazon and it protects the sides while having good access to the buttons. It also has additional magnets that help to hold the iPad better. This system with the Magic Keyboard I find is the best. Can you do a review on this setup. Thanks

[@Steve-yu6pq]

I’m leaning more toward the Magic only because i want to be able to use my iPad when I’m laying down without tweaking my neck!

[@ricardorgomez]

Surprised I missed this video. Well done and largely agree with you. The keyboards really don't compete with each other. Two different markets. I thought I wouldn't get another iPad with the lack of useable, professional creative apps. But may have other uses that may justify upgrading. I have the original Logitech Keyboard for iPad Pro 9.7" with SmartConnector. Still after 5 years. The thing works perfectly. Still. I've dropped my iPad in the case. No damage whatsoever. A piece of plastic broke off the case. But the keyboard still works perfectly fine. If you have the 12.9" iPad Pro, there is only once choice as the Logitech still doesn't have a version for it. You brought up a good point: the premium feel. The ability to remove the iPad easily from the keyboard. The extra flexibility in the viewing angle. For professionals, all this makes a difference. I wouldn't use the iPad much as a laptop replacement so I think I could live without the functionality of the Logitech. Good job with the comparison.

[@BarPBarPkoyanee]

but can you write or draw on both of that case? you didnt mention it, that is the most important part.

[@wasteland8336]

Who out there has a really small desk? Does anyone have a 8” desk? The answer is no.. lol! To me that’s a non issue. The grip on both are great as well. Oh no, you have to reach another 1-2 inches with the combo touch!! (Sarcasm) I have both cases, one for my iPad 7th gen. I have the combo touch keyboard and I have the magic keyboard for my iPad Pro 11”. They’re both great! All the little nitpicky things you find wrong with each are really not a big deal at all. My point is, you cannot go wrong with either one. 🤙

[@aerofly2]

When you’re using the Logitech keyboard with the kickstand in operation, the desk footprint is about twice that or more of the Magic Keyboard, so you have to have a much bigger desk space.

[@abdullaht2001]
