iPad Pro 10.5 Cases Thread

After trying out the UAG Metropolis, I have to say it's close, but not quite, what I am looking for.

It's a bit thicker than I want, and there's a looseness to the rubber shell that I'm not a fan of, so I'll probably return it.
That being said, if someone could make something similar to this, but a little slimmer and with less give to the shell, with the pencil holder, and magnetic clasp, it'd be near perfect.
You reading this, case makers?

I just placed a preorder for this case: http://www.senacases.com/vettra-pro2-10
I'm looking for a more premium feeling leather case and this seems to fit the bill. Has anyone ever ordered from Sena cases before?

Good to know! If anyone is interested, this promo code for 10% off works: SENASAVER10
They sold prior versions of that case on Apple.com, might be some reviews on there.
I have Sena Portfolio cases on my 13" MacBook Pro Retina and 13" MacBook Air. I love their products but two years ago I got a Sena case for my iPhone 6 Plus and I had to return it back after two weeks because the gunmetal trim finish was pilling off the case. Just make sure whatever case you get from Sena does not says gunmetal trim anywhere.

Ooh not good. I didn't see any trim on the case I ordered anywhere so hopefully I should be good.

The old version of the case has 2 reviews on apple. 2 stars, ouch! Complaints range from low quality leather to leaving line marks on the screen. I'll put my impressions up when I receive it.
I just got it Wednesday. I thought this WAS the updated one - it's STILL wrong.

Nope, the cutout for the magnet is a couple of millimeters too short on each end. And they were still shipping yesterday, as I just got it. The iPad was out a couple of weeks. What, no one checked yesterday before they shipped these things?
Thanks, Apple, for not providing the number two accessory (after the cover) for the 10/5 that everyone bought for every iPad previously. Well done.
I received this one today:

Fits and lines up very well. Couple of very faint marks of the inside if I am being fussy but overall very good given the lack of other options. Works well with the ASC.

Ordered the ESR and the JTech as they were free on Amazon Prime. Will test em myself and send one back.
I had that case for the 97 and I've been waiting for it to show up it store. And yes, the rubber was just as loose on the 9.7. Sad they never fixed that, but that's the case I want.
I used to use Sena case for my phones long ago. Do not know if they changed but their products where top of the line for sure if into leather.
I received the Khomo back case that's ASk and ASC compatible. My pictures are with the Black Apple leather cover. Overall great so far. A little more slippery than I would prefer and the edge lines up with the cover in a way that I don't always get the cover open on my first try. Minor annoyances. I've had a few of the clear ones that have been trash.

I think you're safest with KHOMO, although I'd think a clone will eventually pop up with free shipping and perhaps an even lower price. (But we're talking a few dollars here.)
Check all of the JETech and ESR Amazon reviews.
For me, the only option that might sway me is if Apple releases a silicone back shell to mate with the leather Smart Cover. That way I could choose which side to lay down -- slippery or tacky -- and the tacky silicone edges would hold the iPad in place better on fabric/cloth like sheets/sofa.
I live in Japan and got a case that looks like the Khomo but it's made by a company called Leplus.
The quality is really good, I was actually quite surprised! They have a few other colors, black and I think blue. The black has a charcoal hard back and the blue I think has the same or a dark blue back.
I got the white with a clear back as I thought it looks the best. The fit is perfect, the top has cut outs for the power button and speakers while the bottom is open. It magnetic so it closes and sticks to the iPad, and when you open the cover the iPad comes on.
Compared to the Apple smart cover which is expensive, I like this better. The fact that it protects the back and looks good is a BIG PLUS.
