What does it weigh, with and without the keyboard? Also, if you leave the keyboard at home, does the case still fit and protect the iPad?

I don not know the exact weight. It is similar to other keyboard cases I owned for my older IPad. The keyboard is not attached to the case, so you can leave it home if you don't need it while taking the rest of the case with you. Be aware that i the case is still the same width with or without the keyboard being carried.

It isn't too heavy. I haven't weighed it, but it doesn't add significant weight to the iPad itself. Still light enough to throw in a bag or carry with a stack of books.The case is built to fit the keyboard- without it, there is extra space and the magnetic "snap" doesn't connect to hold it closed. It still holds the iPad just fine without the keyboard. The keyboard is just attached to the case by magnet.

Not sure what it weighs but the case fits fine without the keyboard. My daughter mostly does not have the keyboard in the case.

Don't have anything to weight it with, but it is very light. Yes it does protect without the keyboard.

Stella, the iPad protection weighs about 10oz. The keyboard weighs about 8oz. The iPad travels well without the keyboard

I've never owned a keyboard, but I doubt it. I love having space for pen/stylus, paper, etc., but it's a pretty tight fit. Still looking for the "perfect" iPad carrying case ...

Hmm...that seems right... But that's not heavy at all....that weight is spread throughout the whole keyboard...the keyboard is pretty darn light actually.... VERY LIGHT AND THIN...

The iPad just snaps in quite easily and removes just as easily. Whether or not you need another case depends on whether you want to protect your iPad or not. If you want to use it without a keyboard, you surely don't need a case but it is far easier to scratch or damage it when used "naked". You might find two cases are a pain to take with or carry around.

I'm not sure what it weighs (that's usually in the product information), but it works wonderfully. I don't notice "extra" weight when I use my iPad now. The strap is the best thing that has happened to my iPad, and as an added bonus, it keeps the cover from ever coming off. I love it.

Since the Logitech keyboard cover is only held to the IPad by the magnetic connection, it can be easily dislodged while carrying it. If that happened, you might drop it or the IPad. I use a padded fabric Mivizu case that I carry this to work and back. I find that the two items together are great protection for the IPad. The Mivizu case also has two pockets for carrying other stuff.

The keyboard becomes a case. It does that tricky magnetic thing against the edge of the iPad and closes like a book. That being said, it is still just a magnet so you have to be careful but so far it has worked great for me.

I don't know exactly, but it's pretty lightweight. I don't really notice that it adds a lot of weight to the iPad.

It's light. When you put the iPad 2 in there it's probably a pound or two. My 3 year old handles it very well. I love it.

The case with keyboard weighs 10.8 oz. The tablet inside the case with keyboard weighs 1 lb. 6.8 oz. I love mine.

Hi, the keyboard is feather light. No it will not make your iPad heavier. The battery life is amazing. Holds a charge for months. Yes it is rechargarble with the included charger. Enjoy. You won' be disappointed.

It's a good 3-5 pounds I would say. It's a good amount of weight so that the keyboard doesn't move around while you're typing or playing games which I love! :)

Kaylee,It does not appear to have an effect on either the iPad or case, although I have removed it only a few times. The case/keyboard is not large or heavy enough to require it when not using the keyboard.

I don't think the screen actually touches the keyboard. There is a frame around the keyboard and when you put the iPad into the case, the screen is touching this frame but not the keys themselves.And, no, I haven't noticed any damage of any kind to the screen.

No. The unit must all stay together. If you want to take the iPad without the keyboard, perhaps you can find an inexpensive protective cast.

If the keyboard is wireless and connected by Bluetooth, you won't need to remove your iPad from the case. I sometimes use a wireless, Bluetooth keyboard by Mac, and the signal is flawless with the iPad inside its TwelveSouth cover. Also, you may type comfortably a few meters away from the iPad when using a wireless, Bluetooth keyboard; there is no need to tuck it into the case. I doubt a keyboard would fit in there, anyway; the case is tailored for the iPad only.

I don't feel that is too bulky. Mine weighs 2 lb 10 oz including the keyboard, tablet and a stylus. It measures right at 1 inch thick. It works very well. Among other things I have used it to update our church webpage on it..I have also used word, excel and power point as well as surfing the web and e-mail. The keyboard has worked very well for everything I have tried.
