Logitech maintains its position as the leader in the education technology segment through the development of two revolutionary keyboard cases. Logitech has launched the Rugged Combo 5 and the Rugged lite which will enable students to achieve academic success of today’s classrooms. The Rugged Combo 5 and the Rugged Lite are compatible with new iPad versions and are essential in addressing the growing concern of improved connectively among students.
Teachers have observed that their students experience difficulty managing several cables or running out of power when participating in lengthy classes. These issues may become a major distraction in the class, hence limiting the students’ learning process. The two innovations ensure that users have reliable keywords and cases in their tablets.
Enhancing Classroom Connectivity with USB-C technology
The unique characteristic of the new Rugged series is its built-in USB-C port. The USB-C port enables the user to wear headphones while charging their iPad. Previously, the only port on the iPad meant that the user had to choose between charging and hearing audio.
With the new technology, teachers will be able to conduct continuous lessons without being concerned about the battery level or sound issues. Good quality sound is required when it comes to literacy projects, foreign languages, and computerized exams. Students will be able to concentrate on their classes for long hours since the technology accommodates both charging and sound needs.
Rugged Combo 5: The Ultimate Multi-Touch Experience
However, Rugged Combo 5 is a much more advanced product, since not only does it provide its users with a keyboard, but also with a very sophisticated touchpad with many different features.
The touchpad is quite large in size and can easily cope with various multitouch gestures. As a result, one would be able to work with iPadOS in a completely natural manner with such a combination. Also, the keyboard has a unique design that is completely closed and water-resistant. The keyboard could be used to facilitate the reading of some digital books. Besides, one could also use the kickstand to watch educational videos. There are 40 degrees of tilt in the kickstand.
Rugged Lite: Lightweight Durability for Every Student
For classrooms that prefer simplicity, the Rugged Lite gives them protection without any unnecessary components, such as the trackpad. The Rugged Lite model incorporates the important aspect of typing, providing users with keys that have adequate spacing that ensures maximum comfort even when typing for prolonged periods. In addition, the keys in the Rugged Lite cannot be removed by prying because they are pluck-proof.
As simple as the design may be, it is able to offer similar protection to the bigger keyboard covers. The cover is easily attached using the smart Connector technology; therefore, there is no need for the user to plug in a charger or to pair the keyboard cover with the iPad through Bluetooth technology.
Built to Withstand the Daily Rigors of School Life
Durability comes first when we speak about any gadget that will be used within the school environment. The Rugged Combo 5 and Rugged Lite have passed all necessary military tests and offer maximum protection against impacts and bumps. Logitech dropped their cases from as high as 6,6 feet above, which is equivalent to falling from a school desk.
Moreover, the company conducted the test of drops from backpacks 10,000 times in order to make sure iPads would be safe on the way to school. Apart from this, these cases protect iPads not only against mechanical damage but also against water damage, as well as dust and dirt. Indeed, the keyword of these cases is sealed. Schools can wash their devices without worries as they are resistant to 3 years’ worth of cleaning with a usual sanitizer solution.
Final thoughts
The company was able to implement several intelligent solutions aimed at making it easier for IT managers to control fleets of equipment. First of all, each case contains a special window on the back where users can see the asset tags.
As a result, IT personal is able to find their iPads without any need to open the covers. Secondly, the cases contain QR codes that are directly connected to the serial number of the accessory. As a result, IT managers will be able to manage inventory and control the process of deployment more efficiently and quickly. It becomes obvious that Logitech takes into account the specific characteristics of working in schools
