happy to have you back jack you know I know you like to get out there laying on the beach getting a suntan you didn't get a Sun Tan Jack's back from vacation ladies and gentlemen so if you're wondering why the the side angle there is wobbly and whatnot it's cuz Jack's back just so you know what is this it is a solution to all of your problems I did a little challenge I tried to use nothing but the iPad pro as my main computing device no computer of any kind the keyboard case if you recall is a bit critical though it was the thing that kind of pushed me back to the laptop lifestyle because this is just not a very satisfying keyboard you know there's no tactile feel to it it's not that satisfying so I couldn't wait to get back onto a laptop because I do have to do a fair amount of typing so I said hey maybe Apple should have done something more similar to what Microsoft has done in the various surface products thank goodness for third-party accessories today Logitech has launched the slim folio pro it's for both the 11 inch iPad pro and they're also making it for the 12 point 9 inch iPad pro bluetooth low power consumption it has adjustable backlit keys iOS shortcuts built-in three-month rechargeable battery that will get Jack's juices flowing what does it say on the back here look at this they show you how to use it turn your iPad into a laptop with one click so they're just saying it it looks like they've got a very specific demographic here as you can see they both look a lot like me here we go look at the backlit keys how fresh is that look right there so yeah it's definitely fatter than Apple's own product that's for sure like if you look at that you can tell right away okay opens like this whoa would you look at that little keyboard right there I don't think I need the paperwork I'm gonna peel off protective covering dere protective thing up here this material on top it's pretty soft its pliable for inserting your iPad into it and it also has a + - you can still have access to those buttons there's still a cutout as well for the camera units but it will check the corners of your device unlike the current implementation as you can see this is Apple's product the device is quite exposed now the convenient part with the official case even though I don't like the keyboard is that an Otis hair right there that is definitely Otis stop shedding okay it's that time of the year spring spring is here the dog's the cats the deer the geese the ganders the interface that's the real advantage you just clip it in this one on the other end you gotta insert the iPad into it and then oh we think we're taking screenshots alright getting it on and off is nowhere near as satisfying as the official keyboard case appeal that peal that coming out as fast it's the corners that give you a problem don't think ah not that okay I can live with that I can manage Oh magnets this guy flaps to the back and sticks right here this guy clips down into it now of course the Apple pencil as well and then this keeps the pencil in place they're on to something can you tell me the weight of this product will its 1.2 pound popping it open from 0 to 100 look at that boom boom you're working well let's unlock it there it is slim folio Pro this is a test you know what it's already better it's already better than keyboards already better lazy dog it's already better it's way better you hear that it's like typing on a 2x4 it's not satisfying you're gonna get sick of it this on the other hand you could start to make the case I can type on that I can type on that you still have your Apple specific keys we have controls here for the backlit keyboard you have your volume keys a dedicated Bluetooth key let's go completely let's go completely dark there we go one two three so that's as bright as it goes it's comparable to a laptop keyboard who knows for the right customer that was thinking iPad pro as a replacement maybe this takes you a step closer three months of battery life on this thing without recharging it you have protection for the iPad itself you have a spot for the pen which it stays charged with this added little flap here you got more confidence in the pen staying put all these speaker grilles on it they remain completely exposed USB type-c so you can use the same charger that you charge the iPad with I think it's a better but what's the price well did they announce a price 179 USD 119 USD I don't know about you for me it's kind of a no-brainer I get it there are advantages here magnetic connection only the iPad comes in and out easily what that convenience is worth to you is it worth the sacrifice of a nice tactile keyboard a little bit more protection logitech slim folio pro I actually think Logitech is gonna sell a lot of these things that's what I think
