Protect Your iPad Pro 10.5 Inch Case
Apple tweaked a few key fundamentals with the 10.5-inch iPad Pro. But that doesn’t mean it’s a hot rod sitting at the starting line ready to hit the gas.
This rugged case passes military drop test standards, features an adjustable stand and a Apple Pencil holder. It’s also customizable in a variety of colors and finishes.
Speck Folio Case
Protect your iPad Air or 10.5-inch iPad Pro with this slim folio. It features a magnetic front cover that puts your tablet to sleep when closed and wakes it up for easy access to the touchscreen. It’s also treated with Microban antimicrobial product protection, which delivers a 99% reduction in bacteria growth on the case for a cleaner surface and enhanced hygiene.
This stylish case is made from durable, scratch-resistant materials that resist abrasions and cracks. It’s also easy to clean, so it stays looking new, even after years of use. Its raised edge protects your screen from scrapes and dings, while the outer shell shields against bumps and drops up to four feet.
The cover also converts into a convenient typing and viewing stand, and it has a secure latch to keep the iPad Pro in place while you work. The built-in holder for ipad pro case Apple Pencil keeps your stylus within reach, so you never have to worry about leaving it behind. It’s a good option for anyone who wants the best of both worlds: protection and functionality.
Casemade Leather Folio Case
I like to spend a little extra money on protective cases for expensive hardware. That’s particularly true when you’re dealing with a delicate device like an iPad Pro. You can easily drop it or have its screen scratched by keys or other objects in your bag, and a full-frame case is the best way to prevent this damage.
The Casemade Leather Folio does the job well, and I appreciate its clean design. It uses a black leather that looks rich and feels nice to the touch. It’s also thin and light, so it doesn’t add much bulk to your tablet. And, like other folio cases on this list, it folds in various positions for hands-free viewing.
Quigley and artist Kofi Ofosu both appreciate the case’s foldable stand for drawing. It’s easy to adjust and holds the iPad in several different positions, making it comfortable for different types of postures. It also has a built-in keyboard and a trackpad that are easy to use and responsive. The only downside is that it’s a bit heavier than other options on this list at over a pound.
STM Case with Keyboard
The Dux case offers a light, sturdy cover that converts to a typing configuration and to a stand that supports video consumption or a workstation setup. It also includes a built-in Apple Pencil holder.
The screen cover nestles down so that it doesn’t catch on things in your bag or let in keys or other items between it and the iPad. It’s held in place by magnets that align with tabs on the back of the outer shell, so when closed it turns off the screen to avoid accidental inputs.
While the case is rugged and protective, it adds a fair amount of thickness to the iPad. In fact, with the cover folded back it’s about triple the thickness of an iPad Air. That extra girth might not be an issue for some users, but it will make the iPad feel a bit less secure in your hand and will probably impact thumb-typing. A notch on the cover lets you stow your pencil while using the iPad in portrait mode. The case rim is a good balance between rigidity and flexibility, which makes it easy to attach or remove the iPad.
Pad & Quill Leather Folio Case
Amid the heated debate about whether an iPad can replace a Mac, many people are relying on both devices for work. If you’re looking for a stylish way to carry both, this Minneapolis-based company makes a variety of compact leather and canvas solutions.
The Oxford Leather case features a classic folio design with a flap to hold the Apple Pencil. The cover supports the iPad’s automatic sleep/wake function and folds back to prop up the device in landscape mode for watching videos. The case ipad pro case factory is handcrafted from full-grain leather and comes in Whiskey or Chestnut finishes. It’s backed by Pad & Quill’s 25-year leather warranty.
The company formerly known as Pad & Quill has reemerged under the name Burton Goods with the same dedication to making artisan products for Apple gear. It’s offering a new lineup of American-made cases for the iPhone X and its successor, the XS. The Traveler Folio is a great example of this. It’s a book-like cover made from beautiful wood and leather and includes a convenient magnetic closure. It also has a hidden stand for viewing video and an interior pocket to stow a few papers.
Tech21 Case
Tech21’s clear case lets you admire – and show off – your device’s colour with zero unsightly yellowing. Its Evo Clear range is made with a UV-resistant material that stops discolouration for the life of your phone.
This case is super thin and lightweight without sacrificing protection. Its FlexShock protects your iPad from bumps and drops with a dual layer system. The top layer absorbs the force of impact while the second layer disperses the energy around your device. This reduces damage to your screen, camera and internal components.
The case comes in a variety of colours and features a detachable pencil holder, Smart Keyboard compatibility and sleepwake functionality to preserve your battery. It also has well cut and perfectly aligned ports, speakers and cameras for a premium feel.
If you want a more protective option try the OtterBox Defender series. It’s got the series’ famed drop and dirt protection and a stand for easy viewing. It’s available for the 10.5-inch and 11-inch iPad Pro. It’s a bit more expensive but it’s worth the investment.
