Logitech this week updated its Type+ and Ultrathin keyboard cases to be compatible with Apple's new iPad Air 2, and also introduced a new standalone ultraportable wireless iPad keyboard dubbed Keys-To-Go.
The new Logitech Type+ for iPad Air 2 is a thin and light two-sided protective case. It connects to the iPad via Bluetooth, and attaches to the tablet magnetically
The Logitech Type+ also has an automatic on/off feature, including auto-off when the keyboard is laid flat for browsing. Priced at $99.99, it's available in black, dark blue, bright red, bright green, electric blue or violet.
The Logitech Ultrathin has also been updated for the iPad Air 2. It's also a case-keyboard combo that protects the screen of the tablet when on the go.
Made of high-grade aluminum material, the Ultrathin boasts a battery life of up to two years. It also has an adjustable magnetic slot to allow the iPad Air 2 to be angled, it comes in space grey and silver, and it's priced at $89.99.
Finally, the Logitech Keys-To-Go are intended for all iPads, serving as a standalone ultraportable keyboard just 6.1mm thick and weighing 180 grams. The keys offer tactile feedback, but are fused into a water-repellant FabricSkin covering that protects it from spills and dirt.
Keys-To-Go come with a rechargeable battery that lasts up to three months on a single charge. The keyboard is compatible with all generations of iPad and iPad mini, is available in black, red and teal, and sells for $69.99.

I have to say, logitech does truly make excellent accessories.

[/quote] Agreed. I have two wireless mice from the mid 1990s and they still work perfectly on a Mac or a PC all these years later on the odd occasion I need them.
I'm certainly interested in an Ultrathin for my Air 2. I haven't had a keyboard for my iPad in the past, but with the amount of typing I'm doing these days, certainly beneficial.
Apple really need to upgrade iOS so it can support bluetooth mouse. Without a mouse the keyboard is only marginally useful.
