Logitech launches rugged keyboard case

Hardware
Logitech has announced the launch of Rugged Lite, a new keyboard case for iPad.

The case fits 7th, 8th and 9th generation iPads and has an optimal angle for typing and viewing, as well as a sealed keyboard and military-grade drop protection. These features are designed to enable an optimal learning experience for students.

Sandro Fulgheri, head of education business, Europe, Logitech, explained, “Educators and students need technology that works for the realities of the classroom and with Rugged Lite, students will keep learning and equipment will be protected.

“We learned directly from students in real-life classroom situations, and combined that with feedback from educators, to engineer a keyboard case that is built for school and ready for class.”

Rugged Lite sets an iPad at the ideal angle so students can naturally type or view, and when the case is collapsed students can easily sketch and read in the classroom and at home.

It can also withstand drops of up to 1.2 meters, so it can tolerate the tumbles and falls that can happen during a school day.

The battery within the case is designed to last one school year, based on an hour of usage every day, including holidays and weekends for eight months.

Logitech Rugged Lite is available to order from education resellers in the UK now, with a suggested retail price of £99.00.
