If I buy a smart case (one with a cutout for the smart cover), would I be able to have my iPad in the case but still have this keyboard attached?

Hi Kevin, I'm not sure about the smart case. However, I bought the Logitech ultrathin keyboard for my mini iPad and I love it. It acts as a sturdy cover (only the front- which is where you need it.) If you're asking should you buy both, I would say wait and see how you like the keyboard as a cover. I think you will find you don't need another cover.

I hold an iPad mini in there with its smart case (really thin) and a keyboard as well. It holds just fine and I don't think the "extra" room is an issue. I think its the perfect case to hold all of your iPad's accessories along with it safely and securely.

Can you pry the keyboard from the enclosing case? I don't know? I've never felt the need to try. You aren't limited in any by having it in the case as the iPad slips into and out of the enclosure very easily?

Yes , you have to take the iPad out of a Smart Cover to use with the Logitech.. Highly recommend this product .

The iPad shifts back when you close it, so nothing sticks out. It makes the iPad a lille thicker, but it is the same length and width as the iPad without the keyboard. It should fit just fine in 99% of cases.

Absolutely. I put my ipad mini in with a Logitech keyboard attached to it which is far thicker than a smart case.

Why would you want to use both at the same time? .the smart cover is for protection when i pad is not in use and for propping up the ipad .if you are using this stand you do not need the Smart Cover for any of its intended uses ,I should know because I own both items

No, this keyboard does not replace the need for case. The keyboard does connect to the iPad where it can close together, covering the screen of the iPad. However, you cannot use the keyboard while the iPad is in the case being that the case is a bit of an obstruction. I hope this answer helps. Good luck!

Your ipad mini and Logitech keyboard will not fit in this case. My wife tried and nope, a no go. It works fine with a cover attached.

The keyboard connects via magnets in the side of the iPad, so I did have to stop using the case. However the keyboard leaves the back of the iPad exposed when closed, and the whole thing looked so dangerously fragile I bought a slip case to keep it in. I'd recommend that.

Not officially. The area where you would place the keyboard is made out of a velvet material with 2 trenches to place the iPad for different viewing angles. Unless the keyboard has its own securing mechanism, I don't think the case can securely store the keyboard without the possibility of slipping out.

Yes, you can still use the keyboard as a keyboard without a smart cover, you just don't have the ability to store the keyboard with your smart cover.

No. You use the keyboard as a screen protector *instead* of using a case. The iPad fits into a hinged clip on one side of the keyboard, such that you can flip up the iPad into a near-vertical position, as though it were the screen of a laptop.

I love my keyboard and it is a nice cover/case . When the my iPad mini is installed on the Bluetooth keyboard it is great mini laptop. You can use the keyboard separately, but your iPad mini has to be with-in 12" of the keyboard so they can connect to each other. So you can turn the iPad anyway you want. I hope this help with your question.

My guess is yes, the zipper would close, but it would probably bulge...and unless you have one of the magnetic folding covers from Apple, you would have to put the keyboard under the iPad vs on top.

It may depend on the type of smart cover you're using; I'm using the STM smart cover case: http://amzn.to/1mpVHfp and it fits snugly inside; if it were a thicker case, it might not. With the smart cover on, I cannot fit anything else in there, i.e. the Logitech mini keyboard.

No, the keyboard is separate from case so you could use it next to your device. It only attaches with a magnet inside case. Or you can put your device in the case and use it alone as carrying/protective case. Leave the keyboard behind if you want.
