Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover (for iPad)

By Eugene Kim

iPad keyboard accessories typically come in two flavors: folio case or simple add-on external keyboard. The Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover ($99.99 direct)  is a little bit of both, with a magnetized hardshell aluminum screen protector that houses a built-in keyboard. It's cleanly designed and adds minimal bulk compared with most folio options, and it works with the iPad 2, the third-generation iPad, as well as Apple's latest fourth-generation iPad. This is not a case in the traditional sense, however, as it will only protect the iPad's screen—just like Apple's own iPad Smart Cover. The keyboard itself might be a bit more cramped than other folio options, like the ClamCase, but the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover is a much more streamlined and attractive way to carry both an iPad and a keyboard, and thus wins our Editors' Choice for iPad keyboard cases.

Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio (for iPad)

Logitech offers the Solar Folio in carbon black, urban grey, ice blue, or coral pink.A thin suede cover wraps around a rubberized plastic frame and keyboard, giving the Solar Keyboard Folio an understated look and comfortable feel in your hand. The solar panel itself is unobtrusive and adds little bulk. Inside, next to the keyboard, is a plastic pad and metal bar that ostensibly houses the battery and energy conversion technology. Given the keyboard's height, the solar components don't really add any unwieldy girth to the folio. At 1.02 pounds, the Solar Folio is a bit heavy—the Logitech Ultra thin weighs only 11.36 ounces. The suede outer portion of the case isn't terribly rigid, so I wouldn't count on this folio for too much protection from falls.
