Logitech revealed the Folio Touch, a brand-new keyboard case for the 11-inch iPad Pro model (both the 2018 and 2020 variations). Its a more affordable alternative to Apples Magic Keyboard and resembles the Logitech Combination Touch for earlier iPad designs.
The kickstand is adjustable, tilting up to 40 degrees, and you can fold the keyboard behind the back of the iPad (something you cant do with the Magic Keyboard). You can use a linked iPad in 4 modes, depending upon the iPads angle and the positioning of the keyboard: typing, viewing, sketching, and reading.
The case includes a collapsible keyboard with a full row of shortcut secrets for iPadOS, which are especially missing from the Magic Keyboard. The secrets are backlit and adjust their brightness based on ambient lighting. The Folio consists of a touchpad also, which supports multi-finger gestures, including swipe, scroll, pinch, and double tap.

The Folio Touch will be available at some point in July 2020 for $160. Youll be able to get it from Logitech and Apple.

The Folio Touch links to the iPad Pro through Apples Smart Connector, which is built into the side of the tablet. That indicates the two devices will match automatically (no requirement to dink around with Bluetooth) and you will not require to charge the Folio individually– it draws power from the iPad.
