No, will be a while... I emailed Logitech since I wanted the Slim Combo as I am using on my iPad 10.5 Pro, but they don't have a "public" date yet.

Once Brydge www.brydge.com has theirs available it will be good option. Makes your iPad Pro into a laptop and you can easily remove the iPad Pro to use it solo.

As mentioned above, I love the Logitech / backlit. But this one looks very nice too. I added my email to the mailing list and will look again if/when it's available for the 2018 12.9 Pro. Thanks.

Re: Keyboard Cases
Thinking about just getting a stand alone Bluetooth keyboard and a case for the iPad. More to carry but I not a fan of the Smart Keyboard.

Re: Keyboard Cases
I had this feeling for many years until I used my friend’s iPad with a keyboard case and I ended up purchasing the Anker Keyboard Case for my iPad Air 2 and when I saw how much screen space I reclaimed by not using the on screen keyboard I fell in love and haven’t looked back since. Plus the keyboard case is awesome when I’m traveling and use it to watch movies. I just got back from NOLA and binged The Haunting of Hill House and love the way it sits

Same - I actually really like the onscreen keyboard, for my usage especially, a paragraph the most for any given task, it's fine. For all other data input, I use the Pencil.

Since I use it for a "pseudo" laptop replacement and I have to run business software input the on-tablet keyboard is an issue as it covers up the screens through MS Remote Client, so I use smart keyboards.

Re: Keyboard Cases
I can’t believe it’s been over 2 weeks and they still haven’t released any 3rd party Keyboard cases. I’m convinced that Apple threatened Logitech or something like that. I’m into conspiracy theories or maybe Logitech has been really busy acquiring Plantronics to design a Keyboard.

Re: Keyboard Cases
Love the conspiracy theory. Haha. I put my name on the list for the Brydge keyboard as well. I thought about the keyboard folio but chose to wait on that to see what other options come up. I also have a wireless Apple keyboard that I can use if I really needed it. I don’t do too much typing on it so it’s not a priority.

Re: Keyboard Cases
I looked into the Brydge but I hope they release a black version. I signed up just to see what they release, hopefully it connects via the smart connector and not Bluetooth

Threatned them with what? Lol. Sometimes third party things just take a while. You never see Mophie come out with a battery case right out of the gate for the newest iPhones every year. Sometimes they take up to 4 months to release one.
Just be patient because the last thing we need are 3rd party companies rushing things out to market that are half-baked or have issues that could easily be resolved with some time in testing.

Just received an email from Brydge yesterday. Looks like they are preparing theirs to launch soon. Although it doesn’t look like it’s going to take advantage of the dock connector which kind of sucks. It’s either Bluetooth or via USB C, but that’ll look awkward typing with a cable coming out of the side of the device.

I got the email as well and I’m bummed out it’s not taking advantage of the smart connector. Might have to take the L here and just settle
Is the Apple keyboard an option for you guys or is it not. I’ve usually used a Bluetooth one but I’m kind of looking at the Apple one. It’s just the price that’s stopping me. I’ve already bought the smart folio case. Don’t know if shelling out another $200 for the Smart Keyboard is worth it. I really don’t type that much anyways.

I’m waiting for the Apple Edition version of the Smart Keyboard Folio (made from ceramic) that will cost $999.00, $199.00 seems so... blue collar.
I want people to immediately recognize my status, and nothing will say that more than my ceramic Apple Edition Smart Keyboard Folio.
