I ordered and received my iPad Pro 10.5 and Apple Smart Cover last week. But like everyone else disappointed and frustrated that there was no back protection. Making me so nervous about putting it down especially with the protruding camera.

So i returned my Smart Cover and bought the Jetech cover for £9.99 which in my opinion is absolutely brilliant for the price. Perfect fit and looks great.

I was going to buy the ASK for the small amount of typing that I do. But I remembered that i already had a Logik Bluetooth keyboard somewhere so dug it out and paired it and again its perfect.

It's better than the ASK because its has a dedicated home button and media controls.

So by Apples crazy decision to not provide back protection they have missed out on me spending £200 plus with them!

Only reason i can think of why they made this decision is because it could effect the iPad after prolonged use. So if our iPads start blowing up in a few months Apple will say its your fault that's why we did not supply a back cover!

I have a Nintendo Bluetooth keyboard which I tried yesterday and it works well. But I think the benefit ofthe Smart Keyboard is that it's always with you, attached to your case.
