Logitech Launches Compact Removable Keyboard Case for iPad

Logitech has unveiled the Flip Folio, a new keyboard case designed for 11- and 13-inch iPad Air and Pro models that offers a fresh take on mobile productivity. Unlike traditional keyboard cases, the Flip Folio features a compact wireless keyboard that can be magnetically detached and repositioned, giving users unprecedented flexibility in how they work on the go.

This detachable keyboard is notably slim—just over a quarter of an inch thick—and lightweight at under 207 grams. It magnetically attaches to the back of the Flip Folio case without adding bulk, preserving the iPad’s sleek profile. The keyboard supports multi-device Bluetooth pairing, allowing seamless switching between the iPad, smartphones, or computers, and includes dedicated iPadOS shortcut keys to enhance productivity.

Battery life is impressive, estimated to last up to two years on a single replaceable coin cell battery. However, the keyboard does not include a rechargeable battery or USB charging port, emphasizing its fully wireless design. When the battery runs out, users simply swap the coin cell to continue uninterrupted use.

The Flip Folio case itself protects both the front and back of the iPad and serves as an adjustable stand. It supports the tablet in both portrait and landscape orientations, catering to different use cases. A clever design feature allows the iPad to be positioned vertically with enough space to support a smartphone side by side, enhancing multitasking capabilities for users who juggle multiple devices.

Pricing varies by size: $179.99 for the 13-inch compatible version and $159.99 for the 11-inch model. Color options include graphite and black launching globally or in North America respectively in June 2025, with additional pale grey, lilac, and sand colors arriving later in select regions.

Why This Matters for Mobile Productivity

The Flip Folio’s design addresses a common pain point for iPad users who want the tactile benefits of a physical keyboard without sacrificing portability or flexibility. By detaching the keyboard, users can tailor their workspace to their needs, whether typing from a distance or repositioning the keyboard for comfort. The multi-device Bluetooth pairing also reflects the reality of modern workflows that span multiple gadgets.

Moreover, the extended battery life and wireless design reduce the hassle of frequent charging and cable clutter, making it ideal for professionals and creatives who rely on their iPads throughout the day. The ability to use the case as a stand in various orientations further enhances its utility, supporting diverse tasks from note-taking to media consumption.

In a world where mobile devices increasingly serve as primary computing tools, accessories like the Flip Folio demonstrate how thoughtful hardware design can elevate user experience and productivity. Logitech’s approach balances innovation with practicality, offering a versatile solution that adapts to the dynamic needs of iPad users.
