Hello everyone,

i was looking for a case keyboard for my brand new iPad Pro 12.9 (6th gen) and was put off by the insane prices of the Apple Smart Folio. And I was surprised when I found a Logitech Folio Pro for 3rd or 4th gen iPad Pro in my local shop with a fantastic discount for only 25 swiss francs (8 times cheaper than ASF). Decided to give it a go despite being aware of the dimension differences between 4th and 6th gen iPad Pro. But I am happy to inform you guys that the Folio Pro fits perfectly the 6th gen iPad Pro. No need to burn extra cash on insanely expensive Apple Smart Folio :)

Cheers

I tried it last year with the 5th gen (M1) and due to the increased thickness of the iPad Pro it was a very tight fit. It works but don’t plan on swapping the iPad Pro in/out too often. I also believe the bottom microphone on the 5th/6th gen will be blocked.
 
JOURNALIST HERE. THE ENTIRE KEYBOARD IS BASICALLY A HUGE BATTERY THAT CARRIES A CHARGE FOR DAYS. I am a writer and multimedia journalist. Heavy use of photos, video, many apps. It runs all day long and I charge it about once every? Week. Not that heavy and WAY LESS EXPENSIVE THAN APPLE.

This is about my 5th personal keyboard, as I have given a number away of the years, and gifted them to others. When i give an IPad or IPad pro, they get a keyboard. View attachment 2106462. They are a godsend. All versions of Apple tablets, etc. No prob traveling with them. Check it out. The most popular one is 5-7 days shipping wait, max. They are guaranteed and very service oriented. I preordered the first one that came out, and have never looked back.

The only possible flaw, is they are slightly heavier, but I am “ a senior”, and no problems. They easily detach for photos etc. and also Very positional. I use mine in Landscape obviously! Addicted to them. A better product at a Lesser cost.

I can attest to the quality of the Brydge keyboards. I have used them for years with intermittent use of the Apple keyboard when I tried to convince myself that the AMK or the SMK would offer a more cohesive experience; however, I’ve always gone back to Brydge. I honestly wanted to make the AMK and SMK my daily drivers, but the huge drawback for me was that I couldn’t use those keyboard on my lap with any kind of stability.

I currently have both the Max+ and Pro+ for my 11” IPP M2, and I couldn’t be happier. Looks like I’m sticking with Brydge for the foreseeable future.
