So I have decided to give this a try, and that’s because this appears to be the only case that I can make support a stand in both landscape and portrait mode. We’ll have to see how that works.
Before you point out thst the included kickstand doesn’t support portrait (which is correct), I’m planning on implementing the portrat mode (and better non-keyboard landscape mode) by attaching the MOFT tablet stand.
With orgininal iPads, I liked the Targu versavu series of keyboard cases, but they never made the keyboard versions for larger tablets. Plus, it was a Bluetooth kb that needed separate charging and occasional re-pairing, but the smart connector didn’t work so well.
With the iPad pro, I went to the Apple Smart Keyboard and the Fellowes MobilePro folio. Heavy, but ok in tablet mode as you could remove the tablet shell. Tablet she’ll rotated similar to Targus versavu. The biggest problem was it was on the expensive side (but about half the Logitec) and the shell was damage prone: Usually one of the corners broke off, and that made the shell useless.
Those became rare as well as expensive so I bought a large leather folio and used the Pippetto origami case, plus Smart Keyboard.
I still plan to use the leather folio for protection, but to fit in there the inner case I need has to be reasonably thin. The STM dux looks too thick to work. The magic keyboard doesn’t have any provision for portrait/tablet mode except taking it off and using the tablet naked. It also has no edge protection, hence my willingness to try this.
i generally think of Logitec as a maker of cheap PC peripherals and not very mac-like, but I’m hoping this is different.
I also hope the new design of the smart connector is better; the old one was too fussy although a large portion of that seemed to be the requirement thst the keyboard be folded and rested in the groove to work, not just electrically connected to the pogo pins.
