Logitech or Zagg Keyboard Case

randsom2708 · Mar 25, 2014

I don't have either available to me to see in person, but am down to one of the two for my new Note 12.2. Would appreciate any and all input in helping make my choice, really can't make up mind, reviews all seem to go both directions.

Thanks much!

I owned the zagg first and returned it for the logitech. The logitech keyboard is superior in every way.

The Zagg is a nice keyboard but a horrible cover.

First, it offers little to no shock protection. It can be diffulct to "unsnap" the tablet from the keyboard and it provides no cover for the back of the tablet. I also don't care for the way it holds the tablet. Seems to put pressure on the glass but that just may be my OCD.

That said, I like the keyboard and the way it functions. I chose to keep my WAWO case and just sit the keyboard in front of it.

If I had it to do over again, I would pass on the Zagg but since I don't think there is a better keyboard yet for the 12.2, I'm keeping mine as it does the job of providing a decent keyboard. If you are looking for a cover, this is not it in my opinion.

I have the Zagg and as i agree with mikes assessment of this is not a case. I prefer the zagg over the logi. The zagg seemed to type better for me, is alot lighter - i repeat alot. Slimmer, looks nicer. (Note - a matter of preference) If you want it for keyboard functionality and a case than dont get it. I use a cocoon sleeve made for an 11inch macbook with the zagg and it works well. Also slip the cocoon into another messenger bag when i travel for work. talk about ocd. So the lack of protection is not an issue for me.....

The zagg would be great if it was backlit and came in a metal option. When i tried the logi the only things that turned me off were the wieght, thickness and it seemed to slip from the tabs too easy.

I have the logitech and have problems with sudden onset of lag. I know it's not the tablet--I tried on the note 12.2, tab 8.4 and moto x. All experience the lag. This is my second one as the first one also had the issue.

Thinking it's just me since no one else has noticed this. It works initially and then input lag sets in. FYI, I type about 70WPM which isn't terribly fast. The logitech cannot keep up when it starts this lag.

Here is a video-- In German - of the Samsung version of the Zagg type case. I remember seeing this in B&H for release next month.

I currently have both cases, but the Zagg will be going back. While I do not care for the folio size of the Logitech, and wish it gripped a bit better, the keyboard itself is like typing on a regular laptop keyboard. I can see myself using it for long periods of time with HWord. The Zagg is light and thin which is nice, but I can't see myself typing on it for long periods of time. It feels cramped compared to the Logitech. If I wanted a cramped feeling keyboard for a tablet, I'd stick with my Note 10.1

I just figured out it's an app causing this lag not the keyboard itself. I downgraded the xposed module called Xposed Additions and all is good now. That said, I much prefer the logitech over the zagg. The zagg is too limited in its uses. Meaning, the logitech offers more comfortable viewing---I like resting my hand on the table while it's standing, for example. It also folds down onto the keyboard.This is a great position while in a car, and the back texture really keeps it from sliding on my lap. The zagg feels to cheap for its price. Edges are sharp, and removing it is really awkward.

The only thing I don't care for is how it closes. Seems wonky. Little bumper pads never line up and easily shift out of place. Logitech needs a better way of closing. I like how easily the tablet comes out of the holding tabs. Nice compromise between having it in a case and (easily) taking it out.

Thanks for all the feedback . . . much appreciated . . . I ordered the Logitech case and will let folks know what I think of it after it arrives.

A question for those of you with the Logitech, does it have the auto on feature of some of the other cases?

hajime_android · Apr 2, 2014

What is the weight of each keyboard?

wingdo · Apr 2, 2014

There is no auto on with the Logitech case.

Haven't tried the Logitech, but the Zagg has been used all day and is infuriating. It misses keys every few keystrokes.

Testing seems to indicate this is a problem only with the 3edc keys and the spacebar missing every now and then.

Forgot connection, re discovered, still same issue. Seems to be hardware related. Will take back for a swap.
