“iPad is changing the way teachers teach and students learn, and
the Logitech Rugged Combo for the new 9.7-inch iPad is built from
the ground up with personalized-learning in mind,” said Michele
Hermann, vice president of mobility at Logitech. “We worked with
Apple to design the Rugged Combo to be incredibly durable and
protect iPad while bringing a secure keyboard connection that’s
approved for testing, so teachers and students can focus on
expanding what’s possible inside the classroom and beyond.”
The Rugged Case’s frame is lined with soft polymer ribs that
flex on impact to protect iPad from drops as high as six feet onto
surfaces as hard as concrete. The kick-back stand has sturdy
mechanical hinges that move freely within a 40-degree range, while
staying firmly in place, without collapsing, even with aggressive
tapping.
The keyboard physically connects to iPad using Logitech’s
proprietary connector, making it a secure solution for student
testing and exams. The keyboard also sources power directly from
iPad, so teachers or students never have to charge the keyboard.
The keyboard’s design leverages Logitech’s extensive expertise to
provide laptop-like, comfortable typing to minimize mistakes. Its
dedicated row of short-cut and function keys, also make it easy to
navigate various iPad functions, directly from the keyboard.
The Logitech Rugged Combo offers drop protection plus a
detachable front cover keyboard so students can use iPad everywhere
learning happens – in the classroom, in the field and in the lab.
The Logitech Rugged Case provides iPad protection and includes a
detachable screen cover; clip on the cover when storing or
transporting iPad, and leave it behind when using iPad. The Add-on
Keyboard for the Rugged Case can also be purchased separately at
any time.

The Logitech Rugged Combo, Rugged Case or Add-on Keyboard for
Rugged Case is available for purchase to schools and school
districts in the U.S. and Canada beginning later this week from
