That said, you should be wary of the Apple Pencil cutout on both these cases, as it exposes the iPad Pro's metal surface just a little bit. Since Logitech's keyboard cases have rubberized edges that wrap around the iPad Pro, they offer much better drop protection than Apple's pricey Magic Keyboard, which exposes the iPad on all four sides. Both can be had later this month from Logitech directly or from the usual retailers such as Amazon.Fortunately, both these keyboard cases offer similar levels of protection from drops and bumps, meaning you don't sacrifice anything if you go for the cheaper option. The 11-inch keyboard case is $119.99, while the larger 12.9-inch case is just $10 more. So, how much will SLIM FOLIO PRO for third generation Apple iPad Pro cost? It's actually pretty reasonable. It looks like it could be a better choice than Apple's own pricier Smart Keyboard Folio. Best of all, Logitech promises a superior typing experience thanks to each key's scissor mechanism. I also love that there is a dedicated holder for the second generation Apple Pencil, which causes the stylus to charge when the clasp is closed. The SLIM FOLIO PRO for third generation Apple iPad Pro has some really cool features, such as the ability to adjust the keyboard backlighting - a feature not found on all such products.

It actually isn't too bad. Ever since the release of the first-ever iPad in 2010, people have been trying to convert Apple's tablet into a laptop with add-on keyboards.
