“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 apple.com/education/purchasing/. For
