Sleeve for iPad Pro 11 + Magic Keyboard combo?

[ciala]

Thanks for the initial review and pics!
Looks thougher and thicker than I thought. That’s a 11 inch iPad Pro right?
It is looks a bit too big for just the iPad, is it moving much inside the sleeve?

Yes! It is the 11’’ variant. I quite like the thickness of the sleeve, as it makes the stuff inside feel well-protected. However, I don’t like all the extra space. There are about 2’’ on the top and right side of the sleeve, if you place the iPad Pro on the bottom left corner.

My personal preference would have been a tighter fit, even if there wasn’t extra room to place a whole lot of other items inside with iPad Pro itself. That’s on me for not checking the dimensions (which is listed on the website). Though understand the logic behind it, since the sleeve is meant to function as a desk mat as well. I attached some pictures below that hopefully highlights the extra space.

Thanks for this!
Yeah I’d prefer a snug fit as well.
But I think I’m gonna get it if the price goes down.

Mine finally arrived! They were stuck at customs for more than a week. Urgh!

Added some pictures. You can see my girlfriend her heather version with my charcoal in one of the pictures.

Great pictures. How’s the two in comparison?
Also gotta clean that screen of yours and put a screen protector man, the finger prints are massive 😆

Are you interested in the sleeve for the 11’’ iPad Pro as well? Would you be interested in buying the one I have off of me? As nice as the sleeve is, it’s personally too big for my liking. I almost even prefer $3 sleeve I bought from Daiso, because of its compactness.

Yay, finally! Initial impressions? Also have you figured out/have any better ideas on how the cable sleeves work?

Also, gotta agree with macdogpro. Invest in a screen protector, or at least a microfiber cleaning cloth 😝

I’m still thinking about it, thanks for your offer 🙂. But I think I’m gonna get the Woolie one since they ship it from Singapore, way nearer to Indonesia, where I live.
Steep pricing for both, so I’m still unsure.

Ah, okay! I assumed you were from the U.S. Totally understand, shipping rates from here to there are probs pretty steep. What country are you from?

Am from Indonesia.
Yes, not to mention some additional value added tax from my local customs. A piece of wool (vegan ones from Woolie) and magnets can be a bit too expensive.

Ah, Indonesia. Greetings from California, USA! Man, that sucks. Maybe you can pick up some magnets and some wool and try making it yourself, a DYI project if you will haha.

I got in touch with the seller of the sleeve, asking if it can be trimmed down for a more snug fit. If not, I’ll just return it and buy the regular sleeve (or some variant of the sleeve system) he also sells. Less cool, but it’s more in line with what I’m looking for. Hope you’re able to buy the one you want, without costing an arm and a leg. And of course, update us when you get the chance.

Might just do that, I think I may know someone who can help 😁

Thanks! Keep sharing with your updates too.

They’re roughly the same. Mine if for the 11” iPad Pro 2020 and the heather one is for my girlfriend’s 10” iPad 2019 but they almost the same size. I don’t like the feeling of a screen protector so I don’t use them. Also when the screen is on and in front of you, you don’t notice any smudges at all so I don’t bother much.

I’m using the cable holder to bundle all the cables when I’m working. the USB-C cable is almost always connected to my keyboard and I often have a second USB-C cable for an external screen in my iPad. Now those two cables are nicely held together.

As I said: you don’t see’m when working and I don’t like the feel of a screen protector 😋

I have two sleeves from Rickshaw Bags, I like that are customizable. The interior is very soft.

Do you mind sending us pics of what your bags look like in person? Did you customize them, or just went with the standard one they sell?

A little shameful but I have not heard of Rickshaw Bags prior to your post, and I’m from SF. Will have to drop by their store sometime and check out their stuff in person. Thanks for the bringing it to my attention!

Sorry for the quick and bad pics. This is the sleeve for my 10.5 iPad Pro. It is waterproof x-Pac and the inside is so, very soft. My 12.9 sleeve is at my office. I customize everything from Rickshaw, that is what they do best.

Wow that does look mad soft, like warm and cozy blanket soft. Thanks for the share!

Any updates? Did ya go through with the DIY project?

Just thought I’d update on my end. I‘m now using the sleeve (short side opening) from Nedrelow. I miss the cool and seamless magnet closure, but I’m satisfied with the simplicity of this for now. He also has a few new sleeves up on his site too, worth checking out if you haven’t decided on one yet. Maybe even just to look at for inspiration!

Hi, actually I did not.
Already have a custom made leather sleeve earlier that cost $45, so I’m reluctant to spent more for sleeves (planning to buy a new iPhone soon, so saving for case budget haha).
Still think the magnet closure is cool to have though.

That new sleeve of yours looks neat!

Love that Heather color. How has it held up? Any issues with the product? I’m thinking of ordering for the new iPad 12.9 but I’m trying to decide between the heather vs charcoal color. Thanks.

 

[Davidalan]

I have the charcoal for my 12.9 iPad as well as the case for my AirPod Pro’s which spend a lot of time in my pocket. Both show now real wear and tear.

I bought this one. Very good quality at a low price. She provided a custom size for the iPad, keyboard and cover.

Though I have never used it the Nedrelow sleeve would be the one I would go for. Looks and works really cool

 

[LaloG]

I ended up purchasing the nedrelow. Having a mat for at home use and a protective case when traveling seems like a win-win. Thanks everyone.

No issues at all. They're holding up very nicely.
