iPad Pro 10.5 Cases Thread

63872C61-1ACB-4CED-A6A7-4455793C1FB3.jpg


Apple - iPad Pro 10.5 Inch
MoKo - Back Cover
Apple - iPad Pro Smart Keyboard
Ztylus - Apple Pencil Case
 
Bought the UGQ Metropolis due to the lack of an Apple Smart case. Is that case supposed to be so wobbly when using it flat? The case balances on the pen holder.
 
Flat? flip in over. If I understand what you are saying, I did the same thing in regards to putting the case in the pencil holder.
That said, I'm "so so" on this case. Overall its ok. Mine is a best buy model. the edge pulls from the iPad frame like mentioned. And for mother is a lot of material to move around to open it. I get it. It is part of the design. I much prefer a gumdrop brand style case.
 
I just bought Logitech Slim Combo. Found a good deal on it. I was prepared for it to be bulky, according to the reviews. However, turns out that the keyboard part fits perfectly with ESR case that I already had. I guess I can now have best of both worlds.

OK, so these are the cases I have for the 10.5" since purchasing it on launch week. I also have the ASK, and ASC (in Grey/Black)

ESR Slim case - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071YMJVPM
MOKO Back case - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071KB9DZ9
ESR Back case - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073DY94FC
I-Blason Back case - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073S2V1PL
KHOMO Back case - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07215MYS4
The generic eBay fake leather Apple Smart Case

I bought the ESR slim case as the first case to ensure my iPad was in a case from day 1.

Now I have the ASC and ASK, focus has been on back cases that are compatible.

I stuck with the ESR Back case for some time. Despite not being silicone around the edges (like the 9.7" variant), its a great thin case. Most recent is the KHOMO and although I do love this case it is significantly thicker and heavier than the ESR. The weight difference is around 30g. If this wasn't the case (pardon the pun) then I'd stick with the KHOMO, however I'll probably go back to the ESR back case for day-to-day.

I have the Slim Combo for my 12.9. My question is how are you using the keyboard and the ESR at the same time? Where does the white triangle part attach to? Thanks

It's ESR folio case (I have 10.5 though). Not sure which exact model -- it came with the ipad that I got 2nd hand.

The triangle part is attached to the plastic rear cover, leaving most of the edge with smart connector exposed (in the triangle mode).

Ahh. So basically you attach the keyboard when you want to type, but when the keyboard is not in use, you store it elsewhere
 
I bought khomo case, it's garbage no soft protection inside and it's hard plastic. I need a silicone case with soft protection inside.can you recommend me or are there any on the market?

Anyone else disappointed that there still aren't more cases available for the 10.5" from the big brands? Many don't even have 10.5" cases yet, and the few who do only have about one version. I've been hoping that one of the big brands will make a high-quality knockoff of Apple's back cover that matches the keyboard case. Who do I have to bribe to get a decent back cover that works with keyboard covers and doesn't have some huge Apple Pencil holder protrusion?

Count me in! As of right now, I am either going to pick up the Khomo back cover, the one w/out the pencil holder or the i-blason halo back cover, in black. Decisions, decisions...

Just got my pro and looking for a rear case to go with the Apple keyboard. Trying to find one with microfibre/soft lining like the old Apple ones but can't find anything. Anyone got any suggestions?

This is exactly why I am on the forum this moment. I'm tired of waiting and hoping for something better. I just want either a Logitech AnyAngle or Otterbox Symmetry. It's frustrating because they have been made for previous models.

I have the symmetry for the 12.9 and see they have them for the 10.5. You are right though in that there is not a lot of selection. Liking my case so far though.
 
Not sure if this has been brought up before here... (I did look)... but I just got the ESR iPad Pro 10.5 inch Case Premium Leather Business Portfolio Stand Yadda Yadda (the whole name is tl;dr) on Amazon for 22 bucks. I also got the screen protector for another 10. This is exactly what I wanted. The 10.5 ergonomics aren't great (IMO) because the device is too thin and the screen edges are, too. This case fixes that. I don't use a separate keyboard, and I like a portfolio instead of a plastic shell or floppy smart cover for just the front. The screen protector was a little bit of a pain to install and I have 2 little bubbles I can't get rid of, but they're on the edge and I can't really see them. It's amazing how it protects against smudges. All in all, both were money well spent. The magnets work well to make the device sleep, too.
 
Has anyone tried both the Apple Leather Sleeve, and the Harber London slim EVO sleeve for iPad Pro? How are they compared to each other?

I can't decide between the two! Both looks good, but the Apple sleeve seems a little too thin/flappy?
 
I've recently purchased an iPad pro 10.5 and I'm looking for a case that is similar to the Samsung Book Cover. It has three viewing angles and is stable at the tallest viewing angle. The apple cases look unstable in the tallset position.

I found this one, the Vettra Folio. However I don't want leather nor do I want to spend $90 on a case.

Has anyone seen anything similar?
