SaharaCase - PROTECTION Hand Strap Series Case for Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (4th, 5th, and 6th Gen 2020-2022) - Black

Don't get me wrong, this case offers excellent protection for the iPad and Apple pencil and even leaves enough room to use an ESR silicone Apple pencil cover. The protection is great, but there are two small openings on the back where the strap goes through. I assume these are there so the device doesn't overheat inside the case, but they do, however, directly expose the back of the iPad, which is something I think could be fixed by using some type of dust screen or filter material. Another issue is that there's a lack of utility for the stand, as the strap feels like it's in the way, but they likely had to add the kick stand due to the strap causing the device to not lie flat on most surfaces it's placed on. The kickstand is hard to operate as far as getting it to engage in a locked position and also disengage its lock due to the strap being located directly on top of the kickstand. The strap can be removed, but I feel the strap is a good part of the reason why people would have purchased this case. The case makes the iPad feel quite heavy due to the materials that were used, but it is very sturdy and feels solid. I removed the plastic built-in screen protector along with the adhesive, which made room for a Zagg tempered glass screen protector, which is the way to go for sure and what I've been doing for many years with Otterbox cases. There's also room for an ESR tempered glass camera lens protector. The hand strap does work very well, is comfortable, and should hold up for a long time. There are holes for the speakers, microphones, and sensors, and the buttons work well and keep from being accidentally pressed. The pencil holding slot increases the overall size of the device, so if you decide to get a laptop case, then account for the size of the device being a little larger than 13". The circular plate that houses the stand on the back of the case can be removed to expose the rear aluminum housing of the iPad, allowing plenty of room for an iPad cooler to be attached or a cooling pad or stand to be used effectively. As seen in the photos I super glued four fairly powerful magnets to the back plate so the case would lie flat and also stay put when placed on anything metal, such as a stand, side of a PC case, door, or a fridge. I also removed the kick stand and one side of the circular plate to shed some weight and I may figure out a way to incorporate a small cooling fan or three at some point. All in all, if your main focus is protecting the device and pencil from drops, or if you give presentations or something of that nature where a hand strap would be ideal, then it's a pretty solid choice if you don't mind the added weight. You may be able to save some money and get something similar, but the majority of cases available for this model are costly anyway, and if you save money by purchasing this case, then I'd also recommend it.

It’s a strong cover, however it arrived with some defects on the screen protector part itself. It allows dust and dirt to get behind it also. It’s nice in that it has a handle.

We recently had to replace our iPad because of damage. This time we asked about protective cases that would stand up to being used by 8 year olds. While they are not being careless, accidents happen. This case has already seen more than a few slips and drops without allowing the iPad to be impacted. Well worth the price for the added protection.

Great protection for iPad and also it comes with a screen protector on the case that’s great and it has a place when you can put your apple pen

One of the best options available for this price range I can feel confident that my 2k device is in good hands & protected for pennies. I didn’t like the screen cover felt very plastic but I have zagg screen protector so removed this cover screen and it’s nice
