2018 iPad Pro

From the video, it seems like the front cover won’t magnetized to the back. Not sure if the Apple Pencil flap is the one that will lock the front cover to the back. Need more review to confirm.

According to other users, the small flap can be rolled back to secure the front cover or just to the back so at least most of it gets tucked out of the way when using it in tablet/tabletop mode.

I guess for travel/ rough use this is an option, I'd prefer something light weight like the folio as well when used around home/office.


I ordered it yesterday (before the shipping estimate went crazy into Dec/Jan 2019) and it's coming tomorrow - will post when I unbox it.

Bought casing for iPad Pro 11. Fm Q10. Bought extra tempered glass protector as I thought the previous order was lost as took such a long time. My nephew v happy that it fits well and pencil can be charged too.

Is the weight manageable? Feels like it's adding quite a bit of bulk

Just collected Otterbox case from Apple Orchard. Pencil 2 back in stock as well

Did up a quick video review of this here (edited on the iPad Pro):

Some other points:

1. Very nicely designed and built. Otterbox quality.

2. Cutouts for USB-C, speakers, mics, camera/flash and Pencil are perfectly aligned with the iPad Pro. The USB-C cutout is surprisingly wide, I managed to push in my Nintendo Switch USB-C cable in to charge.

3. Outside front cover is some sort of soft plastic material with a leather grain texture. Inside material is microfibre but the fabric is not thick/plush as Apple's standard, hopefully this means less dirt gets picked up. Though this also means the screen is not going to be "cleaned" by the front cover.

4. Front cover magnets are quite strong. It's so secure that it's easier to open the front cover if you remove the pencil first (explained in my video).

5. The flap can be tucked back and attached to the front cover with the magnets, in reverse.

6. Can feel heavy with everything on, since the case is 290g+ which is about 60% the weight of the iPad Pro (~468g). I still think it's ok for one-handed use, this would be up to individual.

7. The case is surprisingly easier to remove than to install. But of course can't compare to Smart Folio's magnetic system.

Any other questions feel free to ask.

I just got the case as well. Added a fair amount of bulk and weight to my iPad, but after seeing the bending video by Jerryrig on YouTube, I thought a little added protection might be a worthwhile tradeoff. Especially when the Apple cases don’t offer any protection for the corners, and they really aren’t any cheaper.

Are you able to show a photo when the front flap is folded behind along with the pencil flap?

I got iPad Pro 12.9" Space Grey 256GB wifi + 4G
Otterbox case 360 case, forgotten about the disadvantage of the backing, as I got the Otterbox case for my iPhone XS the back really easy to get scratches. But it hold the Apple Pencil very well.

Thanks for sharing the pictures on the Otterbox case 360. Do you think they will release other colours in the near future?

They might as their case for iPhone XS comes in many colours. But still depends on market demand, as only Apple Store selling them
