I would never trust magnets to hold a 1k to 2k device on a fridgeIt’s awesome. So versatile. Strong magnets. I actually do use it on my fridge to watch podcasts and videos while cooking.

Not with the smart cover attached at the bottom now, opposite of where the Face ID camera is.Still not worth the asking price
You would if you had this thing. And even if it fell, there is a decent sized lip surround the screen that would soak up most of the energy.I would never trust magnets to hold a 1k to 2k device on a fridge
One thing I dislike about this case is it only provide protection for front and backCaved in and bought the overpriced Apple case. The extra viewing angles make it more useful than previous versions and it feels great in the hand. I'll be returning the ESR Shift (too bulky and the front cover closure magnets are too weak).
The minimal protection is a concern with the Smart Folio, but I have gone for AppleCare this time (for the first time).
Same here. I wonder how well it would pair with a Dbrand skin. Does D-Brand even protect the sides?One thing I dislike about this case is it only provide protection for front and back
Looks heavy and bulky. I just care of my device and use it without any cover.Bought this ESR for my M1 12.9. Outstanding case. My Magic Keyboard gets no use now.
iPad Pro 12.9 Magnetic Stand Case - ESR
The iPad Pro 12.9 Magnetic Stand Case with pencil holder has 9 stable stand angles with raised screen and portrait view modes.www.esrgear.com
Mark, while the flexible viewing angles in landscape mode are a very nice improvement, the fold back when holding in portrait orientation is not so good. Apple changed the location of the folds to accommodate multiple angles, but now when folded back it’s looser and the much wider width is awkward to hold. I used this folding technique 90% of the time.Does the front easily fold back behind, for handheld use....?
I have been used to a silicon cover on my 1st gen, which Apple don't sell for newer iPads.
When folded back does it 'stick' to the back cover, or is it floppy.
Does it "snap" to the middle angle?Here are all three viewing angles:

This is achieved by using a lot of magnets!

You have to remember, I don't take my iPad anywhere. It stays home now. I graduated medical school and retired to just a media consumption device. I actually haven't even opened my M1 MBA in over a month. My next iPad will likely either be an 11" iPad Pro or the new iPad mini.Looks heavy and bulky. I just care of my device and use it without any cover.
I ordered and returned.Not for me: Apple's Folio is silly overpriced for what it is, and still no side protection (very useful for keeping unmarked for later trade or sale). I went with ESR's new Hybrid Rebound Case 360 - full protection on sides & now the ability to magnetically detach that inner protection case from the kick stand itself:

This protective iPad Pro 13-inch case showcases the iPad with its clear back while its detachable magnetic cover enables portrait view mode.www.esrgear.com
One of the hidden attractions I found was in the ability to also swap that inner protection sleeve between the rebound kick stand & ESR's new keyboard case, ie for computer-like operation or simple kick stand for netflix etc.
Not at all interested in Apple's vastly overpriced new Magic keyboard, so I went for this one instead.iPad Pro 13 inch(M4) (2024) Rebound Magnetic Keyboard Case 360-ESR

Another one in the new ESR range that I didn't quite get at first is the Shift Magnetic Case:
But some of the reviews cover those differences well & expecially if pairing with a bluetooth keyboard, eg:iPad Pro 13‑inch Case with Stand and Pencil Holder (2024, M4)

13" 256G iPad Pro arrives tomorrow, so we shall see.
BTW having to buy the 1TB model to get the nano texture glass & an extra core is also silly gouging again.
Better for me to get the ERS bundle with paper-feel screen protectors.

Not there are not other brand options about for the new iPads, but with the exception of one pricey Otterbox folio, ESR is one of the very few that actually have products ready to ship now. I don't have any affililiation with ESR but couldn't help but notice the new range; have also used their other stuff before & it usually delivers well.
The negatives for me for The ESR Rebound 360 are the Bluetooth keyboard, lack of function key row on the 11", and the more limited maximum tilt angle (see pic), as well as your report of the just OK magnets. However, I did like the fact that when you removed the iPad from the stand, it still has a case on it. I know it adds bulk, but it also adds protection.I ordered and returned.
Too bulky and just ok magnets.
Going to try new Apple folio.
I’ve noticed this tooIs it just me, or is the silicone also improved? Maybe just because they are new cases, but it feels like a slightly different material.
loving the new magnetic angles too
