-Price - this one wins hands down
-Size/portability - the apple keyboard wins hands down, much thinner
-Pencil/stylus - the apple keyboard does not secure the Apply pencil and it can be just knocked off. This one has a strap that secures it. I love that. I used to just leave my pencil in my tablet pocket of my bag so it wouldn’t get lost and almost never used it and it was always dead when I tried. Using it much more now and it’s always charged.
-Keyboard/functionality. They both are similar. This one has tactile (slightly clicky, but not annoyingly clicky) keys and the apple keyboard is more of a membrane keyboard. I prefer this one better for typing but that comes down to personal preference. Where this one pulls ahead is the fact that it has a touchpad and the apple keyboard does not, and the function keys along the top that give you quick access to screen brightness, media controls, search, volume, etc. The only drawback on this front is that the “Lock Screen” button is directly above the backspace key. I’ve inadvertently locked the iPad in the middle of typing something (including this review). I am training myself but it is still slightly annoying.
Durability - tough call on this one because I’ve only had it a month or so. I switched from my apple keyboard because one of my most used keys (arrow key) bottom left was starting to fail frequently and the edges of the cover were fraying badly. I got 2.5 years of HEAVY use out of it though. This one feels sturdier and is thicker overall so I believe it will last just as long if not longer, but I have no way of knowing that it will. No verdict from me on this one just my impressions. The apple one was constantly disconnecting and getting bad signals from the connectors in the back of the iPad. So much so I would have to literally reboot my iPad to get it to work sometimes. Again, it was after a long time of heavy use but my previous apple keyboard on my previous iPad did the same thing. Then I was stuck with just a really expensive case.
-Lap use/tray/table use - If you have a full table with plenty of space (about 1.5-2 feet) this one is just fine and more comfortable. However compared to the apple keyboard, this one is not nearly as convenient on the lap. I could balance the apple keyboard on my lap or an airline table tray just fine and it worked a lot better. This one is much more awkward than the apple keyboard to balance on your lap and just doesn’t fit well on an airline tray table. You can do it, it’s just a balancing act the whole time. Nod to apple keyboard in this category.
Overall if you can deal with the lap use and airline tray table use awkwardness of this model, the fact that is much cheaper and has way better features than the apple keyboard, I would personally get this one.
The Bad
First, the elephant in the room. The Logitech Folio Touch is HEAVY. Almost hellishly so. I’m pretty sure it weighs more than my iPad itself, and brings the combined weight into near-laptop territory. Given how pleased I am with almost every other aspect of the Logitech, I’ll accept the weight, but if you’re at all sensitive to that, you may want to think twice about buying this unit.
Also, when you first connect the keyboard it prompts you to install an app which in turn updates the keyboard firmware. Now pay close attention: the app warns you to NOT INTERRUPT the update process, and it MEANS IT. DO NOT DO IT! I inadvertently hit the lock button on the keyboard, putting the iPad to sleep in the middle of the update, and when the update finished the trackpad no longer worked. It took me thirty seconds to discover this has been a common complaint, a half an hour to track down the fix, and then well over an hour trying to get the solution to work. Everything’s fine now, but I was not a happy camper during those couple of hours.
For the weight, and the whole firmware update experience I’m knocking one star off my rating. Everything else about this keyboard has been wonderful.
The Good
Pretty much everything else, starting with the price. The Logitech set me back about half the price of the Apple keyboard, despite being at least as good. Apple should be embarrassed.
The Case
The case is very solid and feels like it will go a long way toward protecting my iPad from bending (which *can* be a problem), though this undoubtedly contributes to the keyboard’s weight. Trade-offs. It offers full coverage, which means side and drop protection. However, if I want to hold the iPad without the case (which, given the weight of the case, is fairly often) it takes effort to remove it, unlike the Apple keyboard which is just held on magnetically.
Logitech has taken its design cues from the Microsoft Surface, with a stand that folds out from the back of the case. In contradistinction to the Apple keyboard, this both offers the advantage of infinitely adjustable viewing angles and lap use. However, the hinge mechanism is quite stiff and requires two hands to manipulate.
Physically, I’m very impressed with the build quality. The cloth-like cover material, in addition to being very stylish, and despite apparent susceptibility to some scuffing, hides dirt and other marks well, and is much more durable than the silicone-whatever material the Apple keyboard uses, which wrinkles and flakes within months.
The Keyboard
The typing quality is also quite good, though the keys are just a wee bit too stiff for my typing style — I find I have to hit them heavier than is my wont, which slows me down somewhat.
The keyboard makes use of the Apple smart connector (I read Logitech engineers worked closely with Apple on this to get it right). Which means no battery, so the keyboard doesn’t need to be charged. It also means, for example, no Bluetooth lag. And the trackpad can take full advantage of the smart connector to supply the full range of gestures, from two-, three- and four-fingered tapping and swiping to pinching and zooming. Can’t do any of that with a Bluetooth mouse.
Unlike Apple, Logitech provides a full row of function keys to control volume and brightness, lock/unlock, and so forth. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d find these useful, since I never use them on my desktop. But they’re turning out to be much more useful than I’d imagined. And the keyboard is backlit. As a touch typist, I don’t generally need to see the keys, but I love it just for the eye candy. I find myself typing in the dark just so I can turn on the The keyboard folds fully backward (and deactivates) to get out of the way when you just want to, say, view a movie, which is convenient.
Logitech provides some basic modifier key programming (e.g., swapping Ctrl and CapsLk). But this begs the question of more full-featured programmability. Imagine being able to reprogram the function keys, or keyboard shortcut macros. Perhaps a future firmware update will give us this.
The Apple Pencil
One of my biggest complaints about the Apple keyboard is that it provides no protection for the Apple Pencil. The Pencil just sits naked on top, where it is prone to being knocked off. As a result, I had to store the pencil separately (so it’s not charging), and then go hunting for it when I needed it. Not terribly convenient.
The Folio Touch provides protection via a flap, so I can conveniently leave my pencil on top of the iPad. The one drawback here is that the flap only engages when the case is closed, so that if, for example, I’m holding my iPad vertically my hand rests directly on the pencil and can tend to pull it off.
Summary
Despite some shortcomings, the Logitech Folio Touch has a lot going for it. Logitech makes some of the best accessories on the market, and this is no exception. I especially appreciate the touchpad, Apple Pencil protection and, for eye appeal, the backlit keyboard. I think I’ve found my daily driver.
