Does anyone that received an email from Moko have a return email address? I also bought one but have yet to receive an email from them.
 
I also got the moko case along with the email from them about the replacement. As everyone mentioned, the camera doesn't fit in the cutout, however, since we can keep the defective case, I ended up taking a razor blade...shaving just a TINY bit off the inside of where the camera cutout is. Was able to get it to fit perfect without issue. This will hold me over just fine until the replacement gets here.
 
Luvvitt has changed their listing on Amazon to indicate it does not work with the Smart Keyboard, but is compatible with the Smart Cover. This is impossible since the attachment strip for both are the exact same length. They do state in their listing that early purchasers will be sent a new cover when they are available.

4 out of 4 reviews = 100% 1 out of 5 stars.

They say they'll send an updated back when they have them, but that could be weeks or more.

I'll wait until there's a back that is confirmed to work with the Smart Cover.

I'm shocked Apple has abandoned such a high margin item for a new release product.
 
So I got my iPad and the Luvvitt case. I wound up doing what the one reviewer said and cutting a little off both ends where the Smart Case goes so that it fit. I didn't to do the greatest job, but it will work for now. Actually like the case and hope they follow through on providing a revised case to those of us who purchased the incompatible version. Other than the the openings match perfectly and it adds little bulk to iPad. Sleep/wake function of the Smart Cover Works too. The iPad, Smart Cover and TPU back fit in the Apple Leather Sleeve with plenty of room. I sent an email to their customer service address to confirm with them I want a revised case. I'll see if I get a response.

Also just checked to see if the iPad, Smart Keyboard and TPU cover fit in the Apple Leather Sleeve as well and it does.

One last thing, the TPU cover also worked with my tempered glass screen protector.

How does the ESR case fit? I'm debating between the ESR and JETech case till more cases become available.
I got two the leather folio and the shell with the Smart Cover clone.
The shell fits fine, I just need something that can also hold the Apple Pencil.
The pleather folio looks nice, but is poorly designed. Too heavy, magnet is weak, pencil holder is in the dumbest place.

These two.

any good smart cover style cases that are similar in colour to the product (red)? Really annoyed apple aren't selling one of those - had one on my 9.7" pro since that came out and IMO it really goes well the the space black. the standard apple colours are surprisingly muted

Luvvitt has further modified their listing to note it does not work with the Smart Cover either. They also changed their listing to say the early purchasers will receive a new cover which is estimated to be available at the end of June.
 
Trying to get ANY 3rd party cover in Australia at the moment is a real headache, none of the Amazon ones will ship to here and local stores just have very little (at least at a reasonable price).
 
Just taken delivery of iPad Pro 10.5 Case, JETech Case Cover for the New Apple iPad Pro 10.5 from Amazon

£10 and for the money, its absolutely brilliant.

I have always been a genuine apple leather case user (last iPad was an Air first gen) and like others, looking around for a front and rear case.

I bought this as a stop gap, as got my eye on the Kmono Bags leather case when they release it for the 10.5, but i may just stick with this.

If your after a cheep case that doesn’t feel cheep, its worth £10 to have a look at this!

I bought the moko soft back cover; three reflections:
it fits okay and the cutouts are right
can't push the power button with it on
it's by some margin the ugliest case I've ever put on any of my devices.

I don't like it, but it'll have to do for now, and it was cheap as chips - it's really a kid-proof protector.

Me too. really disappointed they haven't got a product red smart cover. I guess one will come at some point, but it's annoying it isn't an option at the moment :(
 
CASES, not screen covers. Having problems finding any that cover the entire iPad. I had the Apple leather case for my Air 1, and loved it. I don't see that as an option for the 10.5" Pro. Just the screen cover.

Anyway, I'd love to see if any of you had better luck than I did. Post some links! :)

Thanks for those pictures! Might be the only case that fits properly. Just ordered one on Amazon to get here Friday. For $28 it should do the job for now. Waiting for Zugu to release their case towards the end of July as it's the best case in my opinion with Apple not putting out something proper.

Do you know if you could, in theory, cut the from cover off and replace it with the keyboard cover? From the Amazon picks, it looks like there is a cutout on the left for the cover.

Could you measure that cutout and post the dimensions and a closeup shot of it?

Thanks in advance.

I'm interested to hear how it holds up.

The last JETech iPad case I had, the plastic began to crack and break off in pieces around the corner areas.
 
Thank you! Great pics.

I also use the chin of my work iMac for sticky notes. :)

I've never considered Zugu cases for my iPad. Which one(s) have you liked in the past?

I have the Jetcase and the apple Smart Cover and both seem ok. But I am not completely satisfied coming from air 2 apple smart case. I'm curious if anyone has ever done a dbrand skin on the back with an apple Smart Cover? I'm thinking this might work. the 10.5 feels like a huge upgrade from the air 2, but without an awesome case it may be a deal breaker...
