Logitech Keyboard Folio for iPad and iPad mini Combines Comfortable Typing with 360-Degree Protection
Sleek Profiles and Refined Fabrics Upgrade Traditional iPad Keyboard Folios
NEWARK, Calif. — March 26, 2013 — Today Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) announced the expansion of its tablet accessories line-up with the introduction of its Logitech® Keyboard Folio and Logitech® Keyboard Folio mini, designed to both safeguard your tablet and touch-screen while complementing it with refined fabrics and new colours to match your personal style.
“Our goal with the new Logitech Keyboard Folio was to take the award-winning typing experience from the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover and add an extra layer of protection,” said Mike Culver, vice president of brand development for tablet accessories at Logitech. “To take the design a step farther, we combined Logitech’s expertise and experience in keyboards with high-quality materials to bring a sense of sophistication to the functional protection people want and need for their tablets.”
The Logitech Keyboard Folio connects to your iPad through Bluetooth® and delivers the feel of familiar, traditional full-size keys with function shortcuts for the iPad, helping you overcome the limitations of typing with an on-screen keyboard.
Marrying aesthetics and practicality, Logitech combined sophisticated materials with a clean industrial design, to evoke personal style while helping to minimize the risk of damage to your tablet. Taking protection and convenience to the next level, Logitech has included magnetic closures to further help minimize the risk of damage to your tablet while in transit, and a hands-free flip stand offers two comfortable viewing angles so you can enjoy your iPad or iPad mini in the perfect position. The Logitech Keyboard Folio also features instant On/Off functionality that wakes your tablet when you open the cover and puts it to sleep when you close it, helping to preserve your tablet’s battery life.
