Wow, that was fast – Logitech, purveyor of fine Apple accessories for a long time, has just pulled the curtains from around its new Create Keyboard Case, made to work with the iPad Pro just announced this morning. The case is an alternative to Apple’s also just-announced Smart Cover.

Perhaps its even more telling that Logitech worked with Apple to get its new Create keyboard to market on day one; something that never happened in the past at Apple. If the mothership is helping third-party companies ahead of new products, consumers will ultimately win out with more day-one options for all their magical Apple gear.

Logitech says that the Create works with the new Smart Connector, avoiding Bluetooth pairing (and external charging), and has a full-size keyboard layout and keys, with a thin yet durable protection that keeps your iPad Pro from bumps, scratches and spills.

The Create case will arrive in November on the same day that the iPad Pros show up, and should look and feel like the other half of your iPad Pro. Aside from that sort of detail, and the partial image up top here, that’s all Logitech wants to say on the matter.

“Shhh,” writes the company on its blog page. “We can’t say more right now. But we can say CREATE will make more possible with your iPad Pro. From day one.”

Be sure that we’ve requested a review unit and will give you our full impressions when we can.
