iPad Pro Closest 11" iPad Pro equivalent to leather Apple Smart Case for iPad Air 2

[piblondin]

Just picked up an 11" Pro and would love to find something like the leather Smart Case that I have for my Air 2. Any suggestions? Thanks!

FWIW, I do not care about pencil charging or smart connector access.

Need something like this too, the Otterbox just isn't cutting it for me and the Smart Folio is a waste of time in my opinion.

What do you find lacking about the Symmetry case? I'm considering it.

Ugly. Heavy.

I don't like the hard clear plastic back, would be better if it was the same material all around, the rubber bumper side bits come away easily from the iPad while holding it and the general heft of it just isn't as good to hold as the old official Apple ones.
It is protecting the iPad though so for now it will suffice but I hope Apple release an official leather smart case some time soon!

In case anyone is listening, I agree. I would love to see a leather SmartCase from Apple (or anyone else...).

The pencil holder ruins it.

The pencil holder ruins it.

Not even so much that, but the lack of microfiber lining.

Looking to pick one of these up to replace my ESR case. I like the ESR case but wanted something that allows for the pencil as well.

Not even close to the leather Smart Case, IMO. The branding, contrast stitching, weird stand thing on the back, and fact that the sides aren’t protected are all negatives for me.

I quite like it actually. The only things that concern me are extra bulk and weight due to it being leather.

I don't know who is running apple's accessory division but they are dropping the ball....they spend R&D money on flamboyant colors for bands and phone cases but get rid of the smart cover after finally getting it right..
