Just ordered my new iPad Pro 12.9, moving (sideways?) from a second gen iPad Pro 12.9 and have had a rear case on it since new. I personally prefer the back only to be covered, keeping the screen exposed, much like the old leather bumper style cases of the iPad 4/5 that apple used to make.

Is there anything like that kicking around at the moment or is it just a case (pun intended) of waiting for manufacturers to catch up?

Thanks for looking!

I’m sure manufacturers are working on things now that the device has been fully revealed. I don’t need a keyboard for my 12.9, but I am looking for a case that has a REMOVABLE front Smart Cover as before. If you see anything like that, let me know. And you should be seeing “naked rears” soon!

I got one of these and though it does the job fine, it is not as snug a fit as I would like, it is a little loose which is common with this kind of material. Still on the lookout for a hard case with soft touch feel...
