Yeah but then look at how the knockoff Magic Keyboard cases, which provide nearly the same functionality (with the exception of pass through charging) cost less than a third of the price.
It’s absolutely insane what Apple charges for that thing.
I’ve had both a Logicrap keyboard case and the Apple one. They’re not even close.
The Logicrap one worked, sure, at least for a while; but the tactile feel of the keys on the Apple case is much nicer. The trackpads are incomparable. But the worst part is the build quality.
The Logicrap one came with a rubberized case for the iPad with a magnetically attached keyboard/trackpad. It both made the iPad feel heavy and bulky, and the rubber part around the ports/speakers started deforming almost immediately (and after a year or so it started tearing). Some key stopped responding after a year or two.
I wanted a cantilever setup so I could use it in bed or on a couch, so I didn’t bother with the Logitech offering. My typecase one is working fine but I haven’t had it for long. When it breaks, if I’m still liking it, I may go for the Apple version. Depends on how long I get out of it.

You get what you pay for.
