After giving a close look at what Logitech’s Rugged Folio has to offer, I must say it’s currently themost protective and efficient keyboard case for iPad 7. So, if you want to have a cover that not only offers a strong shield against impact but also accelerates typing, this one is the best bet for you. Rugged Folio’s keys are pretty well-placed and have impressive bounce to make typing a smooth-sailing affair. With a full row of iOS shortcut keys, you canperform several common tasks like snapping screenshots, invoking Siriand more with just a tap. Though Logitech’s keyboard cover is pricey at $140, it’s still not as expensive as Apple’s famed Smart Keyboard. Overall, Rugged Folio is one of the best accessories for the 10.2-inch iPad.

Ignore Apple’s Smart Keyboard case at your own peril. Yeah, Logitech’s Rugged Folio looks more competent and has also got a protective design to resist impact. But when it comes to elegance, Smart Keyboard scores much better than Rugged Folio. With thehigh-grade full-size keyboard, Apple’s offering brings the iPad pretty close to what MacBook’s impressive keyboard looks like. Moreover, Smart Keyboard’s keys are well-spaced and provide the desired tactile bounce for smooth typing. Putting everything in the right perspective, it’s a top-notch asset for your iPad 7.

For the folks who are in the market for the best 10.2-inch sleeves, I have picked out Harber London’s Evo. I guess if you have explored premium sleeves for your MacBook or iPad, you might already be familiar with this reputed accessory maker. Made withfull-grain vegetable-tanned cowhide leather, the sleeve features an understated appearance with handmade design. With the shock-absorbing interior, Evo is up to the task when it comes to protecting your tablet from scuffs and impact. Furthermore, it has a neat loop inside for Apple Pencil and can comfortably fit the iPad with or without the Apple Smart Keyboard. Long story short, if you are ready to bear the high-price tag (almost $125), Evo would be a premium companion for your entry-level iPad.

If Harber London’s Evo claims to be a great sleeve for iPad 7, this sleeve from Crazy Horse Craft is no less impressive. In fact, there are quite a few areas where it can topple Evo. First and foremost, the sleeve case is made ofItalian vegetable tanned horse style leatherand has strong cushion inside thanks to the addition of wool felt inside. So, the sleeve cover is fully competent to thwart bumps. Using the magnetic snaps, it keeps your tablet safely placed. But what sets Crazy Horse Craft apart is that it never loses the charm even after being used for a long time. Not only that you can also use it as a stand for your iPad which is yet another advantage that you get with this sleeve.
If the above two premium sleeves haven’t yet bowled you over, I expect Capra Leather to do the honor. And that too in style! Sporting probably the most adorable handcrafted design, Capra Leather sleeve arrests attention right away. Theone-piece construction coupled with two two-tone leatheris the highlight of this top-grade leather sleeve. Though it’s not as protective as Crazy Horse Craft’s offering, it has a little slimmer profile. Price-wise, Capra Leather sleeve is priced a little lower than EVO and Crazy Horse Craft’s sleeve cover.
