I hope your happy, you just "made" me order the Pad & Quill Bradford in Chestnut for my 2021 iPadPro 12.9". 😆😇1) Pad & Quill, magnetic case leather, I have been using their cases for years. Purchased direct from Pad & Quill
2). Just got the Magma series from Tineeowl. It’s less than half the price of my Pad & Quill magnetic case. Yes the Pad & Quill is easier on and off, but the Tineeowl is more protective and easier to hold. The pencil compartment is significantly better for holding onto the Apple Pencil. I saw this on a review by Average Tech Guy, he was very positive about it and said he was going to make it his go to case. The only drawback for me is that I also use a Twelve South Compass Stand and HoverBar Duo. The case must be removed for the HoverBar, and the iPad 12.9 2021 with the Tineeowl case will not fit on the leg slots on the Compass Pro stand. However I have a couple work around for that. Purchased though Amazon Prime.

It’s a fine choice. Their leather is fantastic, I also purchased the cleaner and the balm. After almost a year of use mine looks new. The Tineeowl is a nice at home case and comfortable to use, but the Pan & Quill is the nicest case I have ever owned. It’s simply classy. They each have their use and along with the Magic KeyBoard case make a complete packageI hope your happy, you just "made" me order the Pad & Quill Bradford in Chestnut for my 2021 iPadPro 12.9". ??
Great advice on the cleaner and balm, as I own several of their leather products! I do love how the leather ages and develops it own look with use, but the products you suggest are important to preserve the leather I'm sure! Waterfield Designs staff are also very nice to deal with.It’s a fine choice. Their leather is fantastic, I also purchased the cleaner and the balm. After almost a year of use mine looks new.

Just a thought on folio case which didn’t have a rigid back plate. The iPad can be bend if it stored in backpack loaded with other “heavy” things, like books. I personally use 3rd party magnetic folio case (the back panel is quite rigid) and Apple Magic Keyboard occasionally.If you like folio cases, I have this one. In fact, I liked it so much, I bought another. It looks classy and professional, feels quality, and gives very good protection to my iPad. I hated the Apple Smart Folio case. Felt cheap and cost too much.
I also have the Logitech Combo Touch which I really like too.

I got the smart folio case when I first got my iPad Pro and hated it. Feels cheap and doesn’t protect the sides, and way too expensive for what it is. Apple’s hardware is the best and I don’t mind paying for good hardware, but paying the Apple tax on accessories for a logo when you can find better for less just doesn’t make sense. I returned the smart folio and got a much nicer folio case at Amazon that looks classy and fully protects my iPad for much less. Very happy with it for feel, looks, protection, and value. In fact, I liked it so much I got a second one. They are all made in China anyway, including Apple's. No sense in paying more for accessories when you can find just as nice or better for less. That’s just my 2 cents.Just get the apple folio, keeps the iPad light and thin and way better than the cheapies, cost more but worth it imo. We have 2 for 11" and 12.9".
I got mine for free anyway, still better than the cheap plastic folios, nicer micro felt or whatever it is. From my experience anyway and I have had them for 4 years, I prefer my iPad as thin as possible which it does.I got the smart folio case when I first got my iPad Pro and hated it.
