Looking for a good clamshell type keyboard for my new Ipad?

[Steve Adams]

I am picking up a new 128gb LTE ipad today. I want to get a clamshell keyboard to give it more of a mini laptop feel to it. Not a foldable case type one, but one that the ipad locks into and opens and closes like a laptop.

Thanks.

Well, recommendations for a keyboard case type case would be good too.!

Here’s one. I have not used it myself but it’s highly rated on Amazon and it slides out while still providing some protection. Pretty cool.

I am considering the Logitech Slim Folio, anyone used it.

Went ahead and got the keyboard above, works great, keys good, magnets strong, sturdy on lap and desk, good to hold in book mode too surprisingly. Obviously heavier/thicker than just the $11 smart case/cover i had but not as bad as i thought. Outside feels good and protection wise should be good.
Only neg i would say is no back light but new that. Paid $109AUD here retail is $139.95.

On my pro I have the Logitech and it has back light. It’s 12.9 size. I just got a couple of days ago thre 9.7. Unsure if will get one. Am using a stylus instead of fingers on the keyboard. It’s still an option and if I do will be another Logitech. Like it the best

I have only used Logitech on my tablets from Samsung to Apple. I have the logitech on my pro 12.9 has back light keyboard
I ordered off Ebay the slim Logitech for my 9.7 at fraction of the cost. 26 bucks and it’s new. I like getting great pricing. Shop around. Not necessary to pay retail
