Protection

The type + Case Logitech have to protect your iPad in different ways.

Also, liquid quickly reach the keyboard and there is unfortunately less easy from / to finish. The material provides sufficient protection against scratches and bumps when the case is closed but must here be said that the protection is not optimal.

Tap the name of the keyboard and you can get started. The keys have a fine structure so your fingers do not slip off quickly and provide sufficient travel for a comfortable typing experience.
