Noticed that as well. Total bummer as I prefer the original logitech one combined with the ASK on my Gen2.

Hoping someone has suggestions for the newer generation iPPs.
 
I was disappointed when Logitech made their kickstand and keyboard all on one device. My current iPad Pro 2nd gen uses this one and I love the kickstand - https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/slimcombo?crid=1762

I operate it without the keyboard 90% of the time. Is there a similar kickstand around? The new one doesn't seem to have a detachable keyboard - https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/slim-folio-pro?crid=1762
Yeah, that was quite literally the best kickstand on the market. Why did Logitech have to screw up so badly?

Was there any other way for Logitech to do it? I'm not familiar with the latest generations of iPP but I was under the impression that Apple took out the magnets on the edges of the device so there's no way to attach a cover/keyboard to the edge of the iPP anymore. I suppose Logitech could have rigged up some kind of magnetic connection of their own into their backing.

I have the exact sentiments.. That was my favorite kickstand too for my 2nd gen and I was going to get the equivalent on my 3rd gen when I saw the un-detachable version they released. I now use the MK but I did love the prior offering.

Yep, this. Really more Apple's fault than Logitech's.
