the old apple leather sleeve fits the 11" m4 iPad and pencil pro perfectly. I got it for only $23. currently out of stock at woot, but comes in and out all the time.
you guys can probably find it elsewhere too.
for less than $25, it's a great deal
Got a tip for us?

Thanks - I just pre-ordered the Burton case in Onyx for my 11” IPP. Admittedly, it was expensive, but hopefully it’s worth it.
Had one of these with my (beloved, honestly) 10.5" iPad Pro. Just found one on eBay for $30 and got it - thanks for the recommendation!

It’s unfortunate that Burton is one of the only options for such a case. Dodo makes one which is less expensive but it doesn’t look as good to me and I don’t like those elastic straps. But it could be a very good alternative if price is the primary consideration. I’m curious why other companies have not offered such a case design
Also with both cases, the design creates additional stability under the hinge of the MKB. That would seem to please those who have complained about the keyboard wobbling or tipping.
My wife and I have had a few ZUGU cases for our iPads. Love them.
I have pre-ordered one myself. I also emailed them to suggest they offer a keyboard case option such as Burton does. There are only 2 such options I could find, Burton and Dodo. I’d love to see a Zugu version.
Wished zugu will put up preorder on UK website cos still nothing there.
I loved my Zugu for my M1 12.9” iPad Pro. I did pre-order one for my M4 13” iPad Pro. I’m a bit confused why they would take pre-orders if there not sure if the old case would work with the M4???
I’ve recently traded emails this the company. Great people!!!
Well it just occurred to me I do have the old one from my trade-in of my M1. I should try it on my M4. Duh, on me!
I'll report back. But I can't imagine the old one would work on the M4.
Thanks. Just found stock on eBay for £13 and ordered one.

I have been using my old Zugu case from the 12.9 M1 with my 13 m4 iPad since it came out. It is a very tight fit and the speaker and microphone holes don’t match, also the auto on/off does not work but it will hold me over until the new one shows up.
Bummer. I was looking at this one as well because of the kickstand. I really liked it on my Logi Combo Touch for my 5th Gen Air but turns out I didn't need the keyboard as much as I thought I did. So was looking for kickstand type alternatives. Bummer.
Well I guess this is the current winner from my list. I like it because it has that origami folding like the Moshi Versa covers. How is it when in portrait? The problem w/ the Moshi was it kind of was floppy and leaned when in Portrait. Is the Pitaka sturdy both ways?

ESR are pretty decent when it comes to customer support. I contacted them about the standard magnetic folio not being able to wake or sleep when shut and they have straight away refunded me. Also they have let me decide what to do with the folio case. Prolly keep it as a spare as I have purchased their Ascend Keyboard case and it works for me better.
I also had a follow up from ESR customer support after the ESR Shift failed to live up to my expectations.
They sent me a Rebound Hybrid 360 to improve my experience. I am quite impressed with the case, whilst it doesn't have the high-level viewing position of the Shift, it does offer a number of landscape and portrait viewing angles. The magnetic clasp ensures that the front cover remains securely closed, which addresses the problem I had with the Shift. The Rebound Hybrid is still rather chunky compared to the Apple Smart Folio, but the inner case provides full body protection which makes it a good option for use outside of the home. I think I will use the Smart Folio at home and the Rebound Hybrid when travelling.

AliExpress came in clutch with this case ordered it a few days ago and it arrived today.
It's a magnetic smart folio case feels just like the official Apple case and it's also the same exact one of some of the bigger manufacturers like Benks and I believe Pitaka
Paid $16 for it

I had this case for my 3rd gen 12.9 and would kill to find another like it for the 13 M4. I love that is just attaches magnetically and the top half on the back flips down to create the stand. For me it was perfect since it has a large base unlike so many other folio type case with that tiny base (Like the Apple one)
