Logitech Fabricskin Keyboard Folio for iPad Air a pricey way to add a spill-resistant keyboard

2013-12-09
hi I'm Scott Stein and maybe you just bought an iPad maybe you want to outfit it with a keyboard because you wanted to be kind of like a laptop well the logitech fabric skin keyboard folio is one of several options that you have out there how do you know which one to buy well we just reviewed the ultra-thin keyboard cover which is also made by Logitech and just acts as a cover for your iPad but had a really great keyboard now what is this one this is a full case and the idea behind the fabric skin is that it is splash resistant this whole thing here is covered in a a fabric material that can resist splashes it almost feels kind of like a like a rubberized cover but that's the way the keyboard actually is designed and this whole rubberized design wraps around your iPad so you could drop it maybe I don't want to do that too many times and it feels pretty sturdy it's expensive though it's $150 the advantage to this keyboard case besides its splash resistant design is that it Auto connects to if you snap it right in here magnetically it actually knows that it's connected and turns on in pairs that's great because if you want to close this and turn it off it won't keep bluetooth on and drain the battery of the keyboard or if you flip it like this in a tablet mode which you can do it keeps these keys non connected so you won't accidentally press anything and now you can work on your iPad as you normally would there are a few cases out there that already do that like the Belkin ultimate keyboard case that I've also looked at this keyboard layout here I'm not as big a fan of it's big it's a little weird the keys are compressed you have to share tab and share caps lock with the a key of the tab with the Q key there are some keys missing and the keys are big but they're almost too widely spaced I prefer the Logitech keyboard cover but you know take a look at it and see how you feel if you want one however that feels pretty kid-proof that feels compact pretty sturdy and don't mind paying up maybe you want to get the fabric skin I feel like for myself as a traveler it's not the one I gravitate to oh and it's got a cute little stylus loop if you like styling I'm Scott Stein and that's a look at the Logitech fabric skin keyboard cover for the iPad air
