Can anyone tell me if the iPad Air 2 and iPad 5th generation are the same dimensions please as they appear to when I've checked.
I've found a clip on logitech ultra thin keyboard for iPad Air 2 and think it will fit for the iPad 5?
Hi. The depth of the new iPad is a little thicker:
IPad Air 2:
Height: 9.4" (240 mm)
Width: 6.6" (169.5 mm)
Depth 0.24" (6.1 mm)
Weight: 0.98 lb (444 g)
iPad 5th Generation:
Hi, I've asked the seller about the height etc to measure it all for me but could you explain what you mean by 'If it connects via the smart connector, you should make sure it is in the same place on the new iPad.'
Sorry I don't understand what you mean by that, a charging cable charges the iPad on its own doesn't it without the iPad being attached. (My current Logitech charges by a cable into it)
Oh, ok. I wasn't aware that it plugged into the iPad. Some of the newer keyboards connect with the "smart connector" (the 3 dots on the left side of the iPad), eliminating the need to plug into the charging port or antenna jack.
Do you think it will fit in this then....? Its for an ipad air 2 but i am going to guess it will since the dimensions are incredibly close
It may, but I would definitely look at the description and specs to verify compatibility with the new iPad.
Hiya. When you say the specs etc do you mean the height, width, depth and weight? Just do I know what to check for with the owner.
Yes, that would be best. You want to make sure that it will accomodate the additional width. If it connects via the smart connector, you should make sure it is in the same place on the new iPad.
I just purchased a 5th gen and tried it on a logitech keyboard case for the air 2 and it's not a good fit. It keeps popping out because the -5 is too thick and won't properly fit in the holder.
