Pairing the iPad mini with the keyboard was very simple. Compared to a separate Bluetooth keyboard (Review) or a complete Bluetooth keyboard case, the Logitech unit is a dream to have. While not nearly as thin or light as the Apple-made iPad mini Smart Cover, the Logitech accessory does not feel like a pain whatsoever to travel with. This is in order to protect your iPad mini’s glass display from scratches while the keyboard is used as a cover.
Soft material has been thoughtfully placed on the corners of the front of the keyboard. The face of the keyboard is made out of plastic, but it still feels high-quality tough and long-lasting.
The plastic enclosed magnets on the keyboard are connected securely to the base of the keyboard, so it seems unlikely that it can easily break off. Just like the Apple Smart Cover, the keyboard accessory includes a hinge that attaches to the magnetic side of the iPad mini. It not only makes the accessory look great, but the silver model does not seem to pick up many scratches with normal use. Like the back of the iPad mini, the back plate of the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard is made out of high-grade aluminum. Not only do the black and white/silver keyboard color options match the iPad mini in terms of aesthetic design, but the build quality of the keyboard approaches that of Apple’s iPad mini design acumen.
Other than the keyboard, the only features on its front surface are indicator lights (one for Bluetooth status, the other for charging status), and the slit that will hold your iPad mini’s display in ideal typing position. The physical design of the Keyboard accessory is simple, and it only features what is necessary for the user experience. Even with the iPad mini’s smaller display and overall footprint, does the Ultrathin Keyboard mini match the performance of its larger counterpart, and how does it fare against Zagg’s well reviewed iPad Mini keyboards? Find out in our complete review below. With our love for the full-sized version, the “mini” Ultrathin Keyboard has a lot to live up to. As we noted in our review of the full-sized model, the product kickstarts a transition from iPad-based content consumption to creation. We’re fans of Logitech’s Ultrathin Keyboard cover for the full-sized iPad, so when we heard that Logitech was launching a version of the Ultrathin keyboard for the iPad mini for $79, we were naturally excited.
