iPad Pro 12.9 New Cases Thread

I want to get a case for my current 2015 model 12.9 ipad, but perhaps i' ll upgrade in a few months. And i want to buy a case. So...

Now, i have 2 questions:

1. Can someone confirm that the apple 12.9 silicon case will fit the 2017 ipad pro 12.9?
I don' t care too much about the flash or the microphone.

2. And that is the other way around. Do 12.9 cases for the 2017 ipad pro fit the old 2015 12.9 inch ipad pro.

They fit, just the flash and microphone won't line up.

Ok, so it is better for me to get a 12.9 2017 case, i guess that won' t cover the microphones and flash of the 12.9 from 2015, contrary to the other way around?
 
I bought the ESR case over the weekend from Amazon and it's not bad but as I hold my iPad Pro in landscape with the home button to the right, the cut-out for the headphone socket digs into my palm when holding it, definitely not ideal.

Looking for a solution that doesn't do this, the previous gen official silicone case would have been perfect, what the hell was Apple thinking, not releasing these?

My worry is more that the old camera was flush and the new one is not. Id hate to scratch it even if I never use it.

Has anyone seen a case like this one for the new 12.9?

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0131461WW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That's the case I had on the original & I very much like that it folds under (as seen in the last photo on the page). I've been searching Amazon almost every day for a new model lie that but haven't found one yet.

maybe this?

It was a sponsored product that came up on my first search. Im not sure if its actually different, it just says its compatible.

I ordered this one it is so great for little money, better quality than I would have thought.

Yea, it was a pleasant surprise. I will be keeping it for a while. It seems several others enjoy the case as well. I'm still hoping that Apple releases its own case soon though. I heard in passing that Apple's case will be released in a month or two but that is just speculation.

I've seen those but only noticed the first two positions, which I don't like, but the third position might work. Thanks!

Please one question.

I got a new iPad Pro 12,9 2017 in an old cover for iPad Pro 12,9 2015 and smart effect don't work.

Does the Smart Cover for pro 12,9 2015 works fine in pro 12,9 2017? Or don't do it.

Thanks in advanced

Is it heavy? Does the product match the marketing photos? How do you like that fabric?
Click to expand...

It weights almost a pound. It doesn't feel heavy, but I'll have to wait until my iPad arrives to make a final judgement.

The product looks exactly like the market photos.

I like the fabric. It appears to be durable and not slippery at all. I'm very happy with it.

Has anyone tried this iBlason?

I need just a back shell for at home, something with a bit of a grip to it. There isn't a lot out there right now, and i'd prefer without the kickstand. I've been using the kids 9.7 with a fold over case, and I know for me it just isn't going to work on the 12.9.

I'm thinking about the ESR case to use with the Smart Keyboard, but has anyone found any non folio cases?
[doublepost=1497381343][/doublepost]I found this case on Amazon. Only 8.8 ounces and seems to have ok protection. I'm going to get this and the ESR until an Otterbox comes out.

How did that case work out for you ?
