Logitech has announced a new keyboard case designed for the iPad Pro and iPad Air models, known as the Flip Folio. This innovative case allows users to detach and position the keyboard exactly where they need it, enhancing usability and flexibility. While Logitech has previously released products with detachable keyboards, such as Combo Touch case, the Flip Folio boasts a more compact design, making it easier to use in various settings.

Pricing and Availability

The Flip Folio is available in two versions, priced at $179.99 for the model compatible with 13-inch iPad Air and iPad Pro devices, and $159.99 for the 11-inch variant. The availability of the case varies by color. A graphite version is set to launch globally in June 2025, alongside a black option that will be available only in North America. Additionally, a pale grey and lilac version will be released in September 2025 in select regions, with a sand option also limited to North America.

Design and Features

Both the larger and smaller versions of the Flip Folio’s wireless keyboard measure just over a quarter of an inch in thickness and weigh less than 207 grams. Each keyboard is designed to magnetically attach to the back of the Flip Folio case, ensuring minimal added thickness. The keyboard includes dedicated iPadOS shortcut keys and supports multi-device Bluetooth pairing, allowing users to switch seamlessly between their tablet, smartphone, or even a computer.

Battery Life and Maintenance

The estimated battery life for the Flip Folio keyboard is up to two years, although actual performance may vary based on usage frequency. When the battery depletes, users will need to replace the coin cell battery, as the keyboard does not feature a rechargeable battery or a USB port for wired connections. The design emphasizes a completely wireless experience.

Protection and Versatility

The Flip Folio case provides comprehensive front and back protection for the iPad. It connects magnetically to the tablet, allowing users to position the iPad in either landscape or portrait orientations while using it as a multi-angle support stand. When positioned vertically, the Flip Folio offers additional space for supporting a smartphone, enabling users to multitask effectively by placing both devices side by side.

In summary, Logitech’s Flip Folio keyboard case presents a versatile solution for iPad Pro and iPad Air users, combining functionality with portability. With its detachable keyboard, long battery life, and protective features, it aims to enhance the overall user experience for those who rely on their tablets for productivity and entertainment.
