If you love your new iPad® mini, we have news for you! Today, we’re happy to announce that we’re bringing the award-winning Ultrathin Keyboard Cover design to the iPad mini with our new Logitech® Ultrathin Keyboard mini. Just like its predecessor, this ultrathin screen cover acts as a keyboard, case and stand, all in one thin, light and stylish package.
The keyboard pairs instantly with your iPad mini through Bluetooth®. Plus, its EasyType keyboard maintains a traditional layout and standard key size, so despite its overall smaller design, there is no learning curve for your fingers, and it features iPad mini function shortcut keys for quick commands, such as copy and paste.
The keyboard cover simply attaches to your iPad mini using powerful magnets, and has an instant On/Off feature, which automatically wakes your iPad when you open the cover, or puts it to sleep when you close it.
Check out the video below to see the Ultrathin Keyboard mini in action and tell us what you think in the comments.

Is there a timeframe on when these will be released?
Logitech | February 5th, 2013 at 13:26
Hi Sam, the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard mini is expected to be available in the US and Europe beginning in February 2013.

The media coverage is saying it will be released “beginning of Feb” which is now! I live in the UK, and leave for Australia in 10 days… worth ordering, or will it not arrive before i go!
Logitech | February 5th, 2013 at 13:28

Marci | February 8th, 2013 at 10:59
Will this work with a skin (super thin cover) or even a regular cover with sides?
thanks!

Logitech | February 13th, 2013 at 08:57
We thank you for your interest in the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard mini, Mel. Unfortunately, it is not currently available in Australia but please continue to check back for updates on product availability.
Simon | February 18th, 2013 at 08:53
Will you release a iPad mini sleeve, in which both (iPad mini and Ultrathin keyboard mini) will fit? I’m asking, because the Ultrathin keyboard doesn’t cover the back of the iPad mini.
Logitech | February 18th, 2013 at 10:47
While we cannot comment on future plans or releases, we will pass this along to our product team and keep you updated. Thank you.
Leigh | February 19th, 2013 at 02:51
When will this be available in Australia???? Hopefully its not too long a wait, was wanting to get it for uni
Logitech | February 19th, 2013 at 04:48
Hi there, Leigh. Unfortunately we don’t have a specific release date yet in Australia, but please stay tuned for updates. Thanks!
Cindy | February 19th, 2013 at 08:01
I just got your Ultrathin keyboard mini for the ipad mini. Love it. However, now I’m trying to figure out how to protect the back of the keyboard and the back of the ipad mini.
I looked on your forums for advice on covers, skins, etc., but found nothing.
Do you have any suggestions. I don’t want either to get scratched up!
Thanks.
Logitech | February 19th, 2013 at 15:55
Hi Cindy, our support specialist is looking into this. Please continue to check back on our forums for the update: http://bit.ly/Vukcc4 Thank you for your patience.

Thanks
Logitech | February 19th, 2013 at 13:05
Hi Julian, the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard mini is expected to be available in your region later this month. You can also pre order it from our website: http://bit.ly/YEwVX8
Michael | February 20th, 2013 at 15:46
I know it’s been mentioned twice already but is there any chance of getting a ballpark time for when these will be available in Australia? Or at least available for shipping to Australia from Logitech?
Logitech | February 21st, 2013 at 03:53
Hi there, Michael. Unfortunately we don’t have a specific release date yet for Australia, but please continue to check back for updates on availability. Thanks so much.
Julian Roberts | February 28th, 2013 at 06:56
Hi. Is it likely to be quicker to preorder this in the UK or wait until they hit the retailers’ shelves?
Thanks
Logitech | February 28th, 2013 at 12:54
Hi Julian, thank you for your interest in Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard mini. We encourage you to check with local retailers to see what their time frame is on having it in stock. It might be in your best interest to pre-order depending on their response. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Brian | March 3rd, 2013 at 18:50
Just wanted to push the whole Australia release date against, or at least request shipping from us website or amazon be opened to Australia? Or is there anyway for us down under to get our hands on it? … Australia :p just to be sure you know we want it down here…

Hello, the Keyboard Folio is only available for the iPad and not the mini in our Asian markets.
julie anne | April 16th, 2013 at 09:01

Logitech | April 16th, 2013 at 09:05
It is available in Denmark already. You can order right here: http://www.logitech.com/da-dk/ipad-keyboard-cases

The iPad Mini keyboard is now available in Australia – I just picked one up at lunch time from the Apple Store in Sydney CBD. The Apple AU online store said they had them, so I tried my luck at the store.
You have to ask to blue shirts for the moment because they are out the back – they need to redesign the shelf space and that will take another week or two, but in the interim they can be purchased by those who ask.
AussieRob | April 19th, 2013 at 04:58
Available in Australia via online Apple store. Ordered mine Wednesday, received it today! 2day turnaround! Is that brilliant or what.
Oh, and it’s gorgeous and it works beautifully!
