iPad Pro Anyone found a decent case yet for M4 iPad Pro?

[sportdan31]

Purchased the Logitech Combo Keyboard case yesterday. Deciding whether or not I'm going to keep it. The keyboard feels flimsy, especially when it's on your lap. Space bar is huge, but not a big fan of the cheap clicky feeling when pressing it. What I do love is the detachment and using it without the keyboard. Nice protection on the sides, and really like the kickstand. Definitely adds a bit more weight than I would prefer. Fits comfortably on my lap when watching tv. I wish I could just order this particular part of the case. Or is there an alternative out there?

Also picked up the Apple smart folio case. Texture feels great and provides very minimal bulk, but how could they think not providing protection on the sides is a good idea? Very hard to warrant the price what feels like should be a third of the cost.

DO NOT buy the ESR case. The screen doesn't turn off when you close it. There is a "hack" tht you just place some post-it in the bottom left corner and fixes the issue.

They are aware of this and they are preparing an update.

Interesting. Can you provide a link to where they mention the update? I have the issue with the case and am thinking to return it.

Yeah, reading the ESR magnetic case has issues with the on/off and is a couple of mm too big. Doesn't seem to be any other magnetic Smart Folio options at the moment apart from Apple. Unless anybody knows otherwise?

I sent a message to Zugu asking them if they are going to release any new cases for the new ipad and they said yes, within a week or two they will start having pre orders..not sure exactly what they will have but their cases are great I wish they included a keyboard that would be nice

Does this refer to ALL the Esr cases for m4 11?

Mine is an ESR shift series and works as it should.

I heard the front cover doesn't close properly?

It closes but won’t stay closed if you flip it over.

Amazon reviews don’t mention it much, if at all.

Might be a unit to unit inconsistency… perhaps the guy who’s supposed to align the magnets in it had beers on his lunch break that day. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not sure which model this is, but it does add significant thickness to an M4 😅

Magnets cannot hold it closed and it slides around risking a scratch if you trap a bit of grit. Either the magnets are not strong enough our they are placed incorrectly. The wake/sleep function did still work though.

It’s the rebound that has the on/off issues as far as I’m aware, not the shift

I have this issue too and it's so annoying.

I read it here, but it seems that has been removed.

I will just press iPad button put sleep before cover to close.

Same here.

Mine turns off when you close the cover.

Which case though?

I'm refering to this one here.

Thanks for the info, in the end I reached out to ESR support and they gave me a full refund with the option to keep the case. They did indeed mention a fixed version coming out in June.

So, so far it’s a no?

I just preordered my zugu case. They are now up on the site!

 

[sportdan31]

Thanks for the heads up. Just preordered mine as well.

ZUGU dropped the ball. People need cases NOW not 2 months later. Waited for nothing and will be ordering the iPad folio. My ESR clear case came in today and it’s solid for the price. Can definitely recommend it. I bought it to hold me over for ZUGU since I thought it was coming soon. I need a kick stand! I can get the Apple folio for $59.99 which kinda hurts less for what it is.

Yep, I have the Rebound for the 13" Pro and it does not turn the display off though the Post-It Note trick works.

How can you get the Apple folio for 59.99?
