Logitech's Ultrathin Keyboard Cover For iPad Air

You may have already read my review from Logitech last week where I raved about its new Case+Energy for iPhone 5, which was a godsend on my recent trip to the UK and Ireland. This week we're looking at another gizmo from the same brand - and ultralight, ultrathink keyboard cover for an iPad Air. If you're like me, when you're on the road you might use your iPad for many things, from listening to music and playing games at the fun end of the scale, to answering email and even writing up notes and documents. For the latter in particular in can get tiresome using the virtual, touch keypad, so having a keyboard can be really convenient. And if it's built into a stylish cover for your iPad, all the better!

This combo cover and keyboard weighs only 330g and it measures just 7.3mm thick. For those of you who enjoy real key "clicks" it has those too, as well as the same keys found on a standard keyboard, and it includes a host of other features including time-saving iOS shortcut keys for copying, pasting, undoing and more. Finally it frees up space on your screen, by eliminating the virtual keyboard and it works using Bluetooth. This lovely piece of kit is ideal for anyone on the go with an iPad as it not only helps you work, but also protects the screen and fits your iPad so well you can hardly tell which bit is the iPad and which bit is the cover. 

To fit the cover you use powerful magnetic clips which draw the iPad and cover together aligning them perfectly and keeping both in place when you are moving about. The keyboard is easy to charge too, by way of a supplied USB cable, and you can get up to around three months of battery life on a full charge, based on around two hours of use per day. That's economic! And to stand the iPad up so it performs like a traditional laptop, there's a magnetic groove behind the keyboard which does the job, and keeps the screen at a great angle for typing and interacting with the touch screen. The cover come in a range of cool colours too, to suit your personal preferences and style!

We're giving away three bundles from Logitech including an Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad Air with a Case+Energy for iPhone 5, worth a total of $600, so check back here soon!
