Finally got one! I tried the Logitech Create like others and I thought it was a great keyboard, but failed miserably as a case.
Got a tip for us?

I'm interested in the Smart Keyboard... But I got the K811 Logitech Keyboard & Smart Cover. Seen reviewers claim how bulky the Logitech CREATE... Decided to avoid it when seen at stores.
It's quite bulky and heavy. I think the biggest issue though is that it's a pain to take the iPad in and out of it. I probably would've kept it with a thinner option like the Smart Cover for when it's not needed had it not been so difficult to take on and off.
Hmmm.. Why bother to take it on & off? Isn't the idea of it all is that it's a keyboard "case". I just can't get past paying 180 for the Apple Smart Keyboard.
Not against anyone who does, but me personally.. I can't justify spending that much. The design of the keyboard is pretty neat... It's incredibly thin & looks nice. But at the end of the day.. It's a keyboard. I've tried several keyboards in search for what suits me... And I went with the K811 Logitech Keyboard for the backlit & few dedicated keys and addition that it was on sale.
I received the Create for Christmas as a gift. It's a beautiful unit but I never put my iPad Pro in it as I knew I wanted to sell (keep it mint) as I already had Apple one.
Therefore, I put the Logitech Create in the marketplace here for just 95 bucks. People haven't been very interested yet, and I thought that was a nice discount.
The keyboard cases truly transform the iPad's capabilities when you can type that fast. You have to balance how much you want to use it for typing as to justify the cost or not I suppose.
I'm just glad there are plenty of options out there for us all. I know some people are even using the bluetooth Apple keyboard with it as another option.

Ahhh. I just ordered a pencil 10 minutes ago. Didn't even look at the keyboard.
Available at Aventura, FL store. First time I've seen it as available anywhere I think.

I got my Pencil from Walmart but they've been out of stock of the keyboard for a few days now.
Managed to get a Create keyboard when i first got my iPP, was way too heavy bulky and I returned it. Was unable to get a ASK at that time so i purchased the smart cover, and logitec keys to go. Although it is a separate piece to cary, it is so small/light thin and has the special function keys, I can't imagine getting a ASK and give up the function keys. I would highly recommend giving it a try if your still waiting for ASK and/or want the row of function keys.
I think the Zagg Slimbook looks promising but haven't tried yet.
