SAN JOSE, Calif. & LAUSANNE, Switzerland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) today introduced Rugged Combo 4c and Rugged Combo 4c Touch for iPad (A16) and iPad (10th generation), expanding the best-selling Rugged Combo portfolio. Designed to maximize classroom time, the new keyboard cases feature a fully sealed keyboard and a versatile USB-C port that enables students to charge iPad and use a wired headset at the same time. Built to withstand the daily rigors of student life, from backpack commutes to accidental spills, the Rugged Combo 4c ensures that technology remains a reliable tool for learning with simple asset management for IT staff.
“Rugged Combo 4c and Rugged Combo 4c Touch are designed to enhance teaching and learning,” said Joseph Mingori, VP and General Manager of Mobile and Audio Solutions at Logitech. “By incorporating feedback from educators, students and technology directors in the design process, we developed a solution that directly addresses key classroom needs, such as simultaneous charging and peripheral device use.”
As audio becomes increasingly central to literacy, language learning, and digital assessments, Rugged Combo 4c ensures that technology seamlessly supports the lesson. The addition of a dedicated USB-C port allows students to charge iPads and use wired headphones, eliminating the need to choose between power and audio. This flexibility ensures a consistent lesson flow, allowing students to engage deeply for extended periods of time with digital content in any classroom setting.
For technology administrators, Rugged Combo 4c is designed to simplify deployment at scale. Each unit includes a large asset tag window for quick iPad asset identification and an integrated QR code for rapid accessory serial number tracking. These features reduce the time required for asset management, allowing IT teams to deploy and manage large fleets of devices with greater speed and accuracy.
By integrating new enhancements with the popular elements from the Rugged Combo line, these new products aim to keep everyone engaged and on task. Additional features include:
- Smart Connector: Instantly pairs with iPad for seamless setup, powered directly by iPad so charging of the Rugged Combo 4c is never required.
- Multi-touch Trackpad: The Rugged Combo 4c Touch features a large, high-precision trackpad so students can seamlessly navigate and engage with content in a natural, intuitive way.
