I'm eyeing the speck stylefolio pencil case. I like where the pen goes, but it looks like it is not available for the 10.5 yet. It is expensive, but once I find a case I like, it pretty much stays in that case forever.

I ordered this. Just waiting on it to ship.

I'm very interested in how that one works in typing position and how much it weighs.



FYI, fourth or fifth time I've heard this now...

I went to the Apple Store this afternoon to pick up the 10.5-inch iPad Pro smart cover and asked about the silicon case. Similar answer here, the staff told me it's coming. He also claimed it happens before with the delay product accessories.

not a fan of the elastic band Pencil case strapped across the iPad ; there is a plethora of those on Amazon:rolleyes:
I got one as a temp solution.
But yeah, not a fan either.

I'd personally love a leather back cover from Apple instead of silicone, but that's just me.
 
Just a back, compatible (allegedly) with the keyboard and smart cover.

I am also looking out for only a back cover which can work with the Apple Smart Cover ! So how do we confirm if this is compatible with the Apple Smart Cover ?

I wouldn't bother, first reviews on their site said it doesn't have any magnets for wake/sleep.
[doublepost=1498498491][/doublepost]I have had the JETech and the ESR TPU casesarrive today.

The JETech is heavier but the back plastic is really cheap feeling.

The ESR TPU feels a lot nicer in the hand and the branding is almost unnoticeable on my black case. The rear chrome logo can also be cut out if it bothers you that much.

I will compare and send one back once my iPad finally arrives on Friday...

So the ESR is better than the JEtech ?
 
Can someone please confirm if the i-Blason back case works with the Apple Smart Cover ?
 
Any cases with a pencil holder yet? I like the look of the Ivapo ones on Amazon but they've not released one for 10.5 yet.
Ivapo is probably one of the best cases pencil holder or not, I emailed them and they are looking for a July launch of the 10.5.

I have this one. It's a temp until I can find something a little more to my liking, or if Apple realeases a leather back to go with the smart cover.
Not bad. Not great, but not bad.

Looked at both ESR models, but wasn’t a fan of the ventilation holes in the TPU version. Went with the hard plastic but unfortunately it’s extremely slippery and doesn’t feel very good.

Probably just going to go with JETech or Khomo for now
