It might also be a keyboard case to consider for anyone looking to turn their iPad Pro into a writing machine, particularly in light of keyboard problems on recent MacBooks.
The Logitech Slim Folio Pro design is thicker than Apple's slim magnetic Smart Keyboard Folio, but if it's anything like Logitech's 9.7-inch Folio, it'll be lap-friendly and provide some nice protection. But the cases notably don't connect with Apple's rear magnetic smart connector, instead opting for Bluetooth LE. I'll follow up with hands-on opinions when I get one to review.
