iPad Pro 10.5 Cases Thread

[MrGimper]

If I bought the UK one then requested to return it but returned the US one, do you think they'd notice?

Yes, different model number

 

[AVBeatMan]

Yes, different model number

I mean if I put the US one in the U.K. Box and returned?

Most sleeves will fit both. I have a neoprene sleeve from Tom Bihn that I used to put my iPad Air 2 with Smart Case in, and it works the same with my 10.5” iPad Pro.

Here’s an option from Dodo Case made specially for the 10.5” though:

Hmmm, not sure about that. I’d do an online chat and explain that the store said they’d swap it, and ask if you can send it in for a refund/exchange.

Has anyone found just a plain slip case for the 10.5 similar to the $129 Apple version?

try lucrin leather

I'm losing the threat of this... thread.
Was there a Khomo or other best rear-only case with Smart Keyboard compatibility?

I received my black CTS case on Thursday and I am actually impressed of it's quality for a temp case @ ~$11 on Amazon. It actually fits perfect. I will definitely stick with it until better cases come out.

Once I get the iPad 10.5 I would love to get one of those logitech cases that come with the keyboard but the one currently available looks way too bulky they have a create one would be nice if they made the same for the 10.5

I got my KhoMo back cover in today. I really like it. The material feels nice and all the ports line up perfectly. The camera cutout is a little off center, but it's not a dealbreaker. It pairs well with the Apple smart cover, but you can tell the smart cover was not designed to be used with a back cover. The edge of the smart cover doesn't extend past the back cover so it's hard to open from the side. I either have to slightly push the smart cover over a little with my thumb or open from the lightning port cutout instead. Overall, I am very pleased.

I have my iPad Pro 10.5 inch for almost a week now. I bought a case on Amazon.com (see link below) and modified it to work with the Apple Smart Cover. With normal use, Facebook, iMessage, Safari... etc this iPad is getting hotter than my previous iPad Promwith the case on. Battery usage is about the same.

My theory remains that the reason that Apple did not include a silicone case for this is because this unit has the potential of overheating with such a case. With the long term damage excess heat can cause, I am going case-less.

It would be incredibly negligent of Apple to not sell back cases because it could cause the iPad to overheat and then not disclose that information to consumers.

Makes sense with the Apple keyboard case...wait...no it doesn't...not at all....

Sums up my thoughts as well. I’ve already started using the lightning port cutout by default to get the cover to open. Nice summary and excellent pics.

I guess that rules out the possibility of an Apple back case.

You said that the camera cutout is little off-centre but in your pictures it seems to be not coming in the way of the camera, so looks ok in that sense ?

 

[titans1127]

Nice color you got there

Mine came today (as posted earlier in this thread, ordered from german retailer arktis.de for 30€). Not quite sure if these two are the same/identical. If so, you got a sweet deal

I attached some pics to this post.
Cutouts are good, magnet is strong enough (front does not open when holding upside down - only when i shake it strongly).
I am very pleased - material is pu leather, not real leather. thats fine with me as long as it lasts at least two years.

cheers

I have one of these types coming from an eBay seller here in the US sometime this week coming up. Hoping its close enough in quality to the old Air 2 leather case. For $10 I don't expect much but it would be nice if this could be my keeper case.

Yes, it does not obstruct the lens at all.

 

[augustya]

Yes, it does not obstruct the lens at all.

So how is it off centre then ? As you said in your earlier post ?

 

[titans1127]

Its off center in that it hugs to one side of the cut out instead of being centered within it

 

[JNGold]

It can be off center and not interfere. Let's not spend time obsessing over a 12 dollar case. For the money, it's a quality case that looks and feels great.

Just got my iPad Pro 10.5" smart case from eBay (UK). It is pretty good, excellent fit just a few creases on the corners, but for £10 delivered I can't complain too much. Definitely my preferred style of case.

Does the sleep wake work?

Does the sleep wake work?

Yes, works perfectly.

Excellent. Ordering one.

Just wished it was available to ship to Canada
