SALT LAKE CITY — Zagg announced it has signed a license and distribution agreement with Logitech for the Zaggmate case with keyboard.

“This new relationship with Logitech allows us to dramatically expand our global market presence and scale manufacturing capabilities to meet future demand, while continuing to provide creative and superior solutions for consumers of mobile devices,” said Robert G. Pedersen II, president and CEO of Zagg. “Working together, our companies combine strong brand awareness and intelligent product design with manufacturing and logistics expertise, and worldwide distribution under the umbrella of the globally recognized Logitech name.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Logitech will manufacture and distribute the Zaggmate case with keyboard, an iPad case with a Bluetooth keyboard, to their worldwide distribution channels under the name Logitech Keyboard Case. Zagg will retain the right to sell the Zaggmate for both first- and second-generation iPad products on its website, the company said.

According to Zagg, this will enable the company to provide more products to the global market since keyboard configurations vary by country. The agreement provides rights to manufacture and sell the products.

The Logitech Keyboard Case will be available this month for $99.99. It is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum and has a flexible, folding hinge.
