Logitech has announced a new keyboard case for iPad Pro and iPad Air models that lets you remove and position its keyboard exactly where you need it. It’s not an entirely new idea for the company — its Combo Touch case also lets you detach the keyboard — but the new Flip Folio’s keyboard has a much smaller footprint, giving you more flexibility when it comes to where you can use it.
The Flip Folio is priced at $179.99 for a version compatible with 13-inch iPad Air and iPad Pro models, or $159.99 for a slightly smaller case that’s compatible with the 11-inch versions of those tablets. Availability gets a little more complicated depending on what color you want. A graphite version will launch globally in June 2025, as will a black option, but only in North America. A pale grey and lilac version will debut later this year in September 2025 “in select regions,” alongside a sand option that will also be limited to North America.
Both the larger and smaller versions of the wireless keyboard are just over a quarter of an inch thick and weigh less than 207 grams. Each is designed to magnetically attach to the back of the Flip Folio case without adding too much thickness. It includes dedicated iPadOS shortcut keys and multi-device Bluetooth pairing so you can easily switch between using it with your tablet, smartphone, or even a computer.
Battery life is estimated to be up to two years, but that will depend on how frequently you’re using the keyboard. When it dies, you’ll need to replace its coin cell battery, because the keyboard doesn’t feature a rechargeable battery or even a USB port for connecting it to a device with a cable. It’s wireless all the way.
The Flip Folio case itself offers front and back protection for your iPad. Since it connects to the tablet magnetically, you can position the iPad in either landscape or portrait orientations when using it as a multi-angle support stand. With the iPad supported vertically, the Flip Folio has a bit of extra room for supporting a smartphone, too, letting you position them side by side and expand your multitasking.
