Well I have received confirmation a replacement has been sent and should arrive within a week. I'll report back if the replacement directly from Logitech has fixed the issues... or if the issues remain.
Not sure when it was added, but I can now see it for sale on Apple's website at the full price. Hopefully it means the quality is up to Apple's standards now...
Also notice there are now 4 part numbers on Logitech's website. 920-005519 and 920-005510 are at $69.99, but I can't find 920-006317 nor 920-006318.
Unfortunately the Apple website doesn't list the right part numbers when you select iPad Air or Mini.
Edit: the extra 2 part numbers may be for the 2 other colors I wasn't aware of. Anyway RedlegsFan please let us know the PN of your replacement...

Please do write about what the changes are, along with any serial numbers to be aware of. I was just going to buy one when i saw your post, and I'd love to know if the issues are sorted. Thanks!

Received the replacement today. Actually typing on it now. The magnets align better when the iPad is inserted into the case for typing purposes. Also, when the iPad is inserted, the keyboard does not come apart from the case at all. The only thing left that bugs me and it looks as though this is just the way Logitech designed this model, is there is no magnet to hold keep the case shut when it's closed. The case can flap open, turning your iPad on and off.
Other than that, for my purposes, I like this keyboard case quite a bit. Makes it easy to type on the iPad and it's not a hassle when I want to use the iPad all by itself.

Thanks so much for reporting back. Are the serial numbers the same? If they are, I guess I'll just take a chance at the Apple store and hope I get a 'newer' one. Cheers!

Here's my update. I went to get one on the weekend. Serial number is the same. Overall, I'm quite pleased. Certainly, I'm not upset enough to return it. The magnets on the hinge are super strong... much more than the old one, and the ones in the stand are adequate. Only thing I've noticed that's irksome is the apostrophe and question mark keys are smaller than the previous, so I'm mistyping at the moment. I expect I'll get used to it fairly quickly though. Nice keyboard, and very happy that Logitech makes it.

I had that problem too, with those frequently used keys being too small. Returned the Logitech, and got the Zaggkeys Cover. It's a little bulkier, but also more sturdy and ALL keys are fullsize.
They are both really good keyboards.
