![]() ![]() I didn’t notice any significant difference to my daily battery use during the review period. Trackpad control was very good, it felt native and intuitive, with no lag like on bluetooth mice I’d previously tested. One iPad update later and everything was working as expected. Everything worked well out of the gate except for the keyboard backlighting, it turns out you have to be on iPad OS 13.6 to support this feature. This update took only a minute or two, then I was able to start using the trackpad and keyboard. Upon opening the app, I was immediately prompted to update the firmware for the keyboard. First, I had to download the Logitech Control app from the App Store and insert my iPad into the Logitech Folio Touch device. Setup for the Logitech Folio Touch was pretty simple. ![]() If you charge/store the Pencil there, when you close the case, the magnetic clasp secures it which is very handy (I’ve had the Pencil come off in bags or backpacks more often than it’s stayed in place on the iPad alone). There is an open space on the top of the case where you can store/charge an Apple Pencil – they attach magnetically to the top of the iPad, so this is a nice touch. Overall, this worked well for me once I got used to it, but there were some positions that work with a laptop but won’t work with the Logitech Folio Touch. It generally worked fine, but the stand is where the weight of the iPad is carried, and often needed to be hanging over my knees to stay in place and balanced. I found it to be great for any work or entertainment scenario on a flat surface, but like the similarly designed Surface Pro series stands it could be less than ideal for couch use on my legs. The kickstand on the Logitech Folio Touch is well-built and adjusts from nearly fully upright to nearly fully laid back. These function keys can adjust the iPad’s brightness, the keyboard’s brightness, media controls and volume, as well as a few other functions. Judging from pictures, it’s nearly identical to the Apple Magic Keyboard’s layout, with the addition of a row of function keys (most of which I find very useful). The keyboard itself is very similar to any Apple keyboard, with a few iPad-specific tweaks. I found the area by the camera to be the easiest, you can push a finger into the camera cutout to help push the iPad out. To get it out, you have to peel away the soft rubbery plastic from a corner then pull it out. The iPad is easily pushed into this case, and is held quite securely once in. It also doubles as a holder for a stylus like the Apple Pencil or the Logitech Crayon. The magnetic clasp can be folded back out of the way while not in use, and attaches magnetically to the back side of the case so it’s not flopping around. ![]() In my review period it didn’t seem to pick up too much dirt, but that would be my biggest worry over time. The Logitech Folio Touch has a fabric exterior (very similar to the Microsoft Surface tablet series keyboard cases), which is nice to the touch. Power and Connectivity: Powered and connected by iPad via the Smart Connector.Position modes: Type, View, Sketch, Read.Automatic adjustable backlit keyboards (white only, 16 brightness levels).Compatible with: iPad Pro 11-inch 1st and 2nd generation.In the box is the Logitech Folio Touch for iPad Pro and a welcome/instruction manual. ![]() It offers similar functionality to the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad, but at about half the cost. The Logitech Folio Touch for iPad Pro is a backlit keyboard and trackpad case for the iPad Pro 11. ![]()
