Logitech’s Slim Combo for iPad Pro really boosts your portable productivity power

Logitech has a long history of making keyboard accessories for iPad, and it has a new product out in time for the release of the latest iPad Pro 10.5 and 12.9 updates. The Slim Combo, which is available for either size device^[1], includes a back cover case with an integrated Apple Pencil sleeve, and a keyboard that uses the iPad’s Smart Connector.

The two piece approach results in a slim, flexible accessory package for the iPad on the go, which is pretty much a perfect combo for business travelers or creatives who want to pack light.

While it’s a ridiculous neologism, Microsoft’s ‘Lapability’ comes to mind when using the Logitech Slim Combo, since the back case includes a fold out kickstand that does a pretty good Surface Pro impression, letting you prop up your iPad Pro with a wide range of possible angles. It reliably stays open at the angle you set it, and you can even use it on your lap, as you probably guessed by now, making it a useful solution for iPad use on the couch, on the train or anywhere else you don’t have a dedicated desk.

The case can be used with or without the keyboard, which just snaps magnetically onto the edge of your iPad Pro (intentionally left open by the case). The 12.9-inch version of the Slim Combo includes a keyboard with a fold away wrist rest, while the 10.5-inch version has a fixed, single pice keybaord. Both are comfortable for typing for any length of time, with keys that provide a much more satisfying tactile experience vs. the stock Apple iPad keyboard case....
