On the back of the case, there is a very sturdy, fold-out kick-stand, and with a solid 50 degree of tilt hinge point, the iPad can be positioned in a number of ways that suit your working environment – be it sitting upright for movie watching from a seat table surface on the train, tilted back on a desktop whilst typing, to folding it away for reading, and folding it all the way down for markup or sketch work using the Apple Pencil. With a small cut out portion on the right side of the case, the Apple Pencil is able to attach and charge alongside the iPad with the case and keyboard attached. The iPad inserts neatly and securely inside a rigid rubber silicone and fabric case that features all the necessary holes to pass-through audio, microphone and charging to and from the iPad. You can get versions of the Combo Touch case and keyboard that supports the 5th generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro, and also the iPad Air 4th Generation. This particular model is built for my 1st generation 11-inch iPad Pro, and it also works with all recent generations too. This Logitech Combo Touch keyboard case and trackpad for iPad caught my eye as a perfect solution to all of these problems. The downside of this setup was that the keyboard was separate, it had to be carried separately, it also had to be charged before use, and on certain keyboards, it wasn’t made for iPadOS, so it didn’t have hotkeys that worked well enough on the iPad platform.

I found it much faster, and it felt kinda cool being able to work from such a small, compact and portable device. Over the past year or so I started to type my video scripts on my iPad, using a spare Apple Magic Keyboard, or the Logitech MX Keys that I also reviewed recently on this channel. Being able to physically touch and depress the keys helps with general typing speed with the keystroke feedback you get with physical keys – which is something you just don’t get with the onscreen keyboard. If you’re a seasoned typist, you will likely find typing on a physical keyboard to be much faster than on the glass onscreen keyboard. Having hotkeys and being able to carry out keyboard shortcuts in apps with iPadOS makes typing, multitasking and generally working with your iPad much faster. This is even more beneficial if you use a keyboard with an iPad that’s smaller than Apple’s biggest 12.9-inch screen. The first is that with the onscreen keyboard removed from the iPad display, you get so much more real-estate back, allowing you to view your app’s content across the entire screen of the iPad. There are lots of positives when using a separate keyboard, mouse or trackpad with your iPad. Part of this may require regular use of the onscreen keyboard, and although typing on a glass keyboard isn’t too bad on an iPad, you just can’t beat typing on a physical keyboard. Many people are starting to ditch the laptop in favour of an Apple iPad in all walks of life, be it consumers browsing at home, to professionals in their workplace. Alongside iPadOS updates, we can now run powerful productivity apps, multitask between them, run two apps in split view, and use the Apple Pencil for sketching, markup and much more. So over the years since the iPad was released, we’ve seen it grow into quite a portable productive device.
