New Delhi, India — 24 September 2012 — Logitech, the global provider of personal peripherals for computers and other digital platforms, today announced the expansion of its tablet accessories as well as solar-powered product portfolio in India with three new products – Logitech® Ultrathin Keyboard Cover and Logitech® Solar Keyboard Folio which are made for the new, third-generation iPad® as well as the iPad 2; and Logitech® Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 for Mac®, iPad or iPhone®.

These new keyboard accessories for Apple devices leverage Logitech’s extensive heritage of high quality, reliability and sleek design, which helped make the company a global leader in keyboards.

Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover

The perfect partner for your iPad, the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover protects your screen with a stylish, slim aluminum cover that adds minimal weight to your tablet, and features a built-in keyboard that pairs through Bluetooth. When you’re ready to type an email or watch a movie, the keyboard’s built-in stand holds your iPad at the best angle. Similar to a Smart Cover, the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover attaches quickly and securely to your iPad with a magnetic clip. It has an instant On/Off feature, which means your iPad automatically wakes up when you open the cover, and switches to standby when you close it. And with a six-month battery life (based on two hours-per-day usage), you can spend more time typing and less time worrying about your keyboard losing power. With function keys for enhanced navigation, and a piano-black finish, this keyboard cover adds both functionality and style to your iPad. 

Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio

The Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio includes onboard solar cells that charge the built-in Bluetooth® keyboard in any light, whether indoors or outdoors. When fully charged, the battery lasts for up to two years, even in complete darkness (based on an average use of two hours per day). The folio offers two stand positions, so when you want to use your iPad you can choose the viewing angle that’s best for you. Open the folio and place your iPad in the first position to enjoy the full keyboard when you’re typing. Place your iPad in the second position and the first keyboard row acts as your one-touch media playback and volume controls, so you can play, pause and change volume instantly.

Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760

The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 is stylish and compact with onboard solar cells for hassle-free charging. With its easy-switching Bluetooth connection, you can pair your keyboard to as many as three devices and switch among them without having to reconnect. The perfect match for your favorite Apple device, the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 features a slim, minimalist design and Mac-specific keys, including Command, Brightness, Eject and more. The unique Logitech concave key design gives you more comfortable and quiet typing, and offers more speed and precision than typing on an on-screen keyboard. Similar to the Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio, you can charge this keyboard in any light – low light or lamp light, indoors or outdoors. Fully powered, the keyboard works for at least three months, even in total darkness (based on average use per day of eight hours).

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Subrotah Biswas, Country Manager of Logitech India and South West Asia, said, “Logitech believes in providing a superior consumer experience, to people from different walks of life, which is aimed towards aiding productivity.  The new Logitech keyboard cases – with their sleek, smart design and extended keyboard battery life – provide a convenient way for consumers to do more with their iPad; while the Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 will appeal to Apple users.” He also added, “We pride ourselves on being a consumer-centric organization, and we are committed to provide consumers the joy of being immersed in the digital world.”
