The Smart Folio is light in weight, turns on the ipad when the cover is opened, and provides protection for the ipad inside. I would recommend this folio.

I love this case. My last iPad was an Air 3rd gen and cases have come a long way since then. I love that this just snaps into place. I also have the Magic Keyboard and I love the way it is so easy to switch from one case to the other without having to wrestle it out of a case. It just pops off and on, but once it is on it is secure. I have not had any issues with it disconnecting on its own or when I don't mean for it to disconnect. I use this case for daily use to carry my iPad places in my bag. It feels protected and secure. I also love that when it is folded up to display to watch a movie or something that the magnets have more than one position so you can adjust your viewing angle. All around great purchase!

Unfortunately, for the M4 series iPads, Apple changed the magnet location for the smart folio and Magic Keyboard. Did they have to? No. Did it make them more money? Absolutely.
Fortunately, what some of the other reviews were critical of is not true. They claim that it doesn’t fit correctly, or is the wrong size, or doesn’t stick to the back. The magnets are strong enough, that if you hold it from the cover, the iPad won’t fall off of the case.
My assumption is that they bought the normal iPad or iPad Air, which would be a different size. Regardless, there’s really no new functionality. It still doesn’t protect three of the sides, and doesn’t hold the Apple Pencil securely. It does conveniently turn the iPad on and off when you open and close the folio, though.

Like most Apple products, this case is minimal, but built with premium materials that help keep the thin and lightweight feel of the device intact while also allowing for some coverage on the front and back and the ability for a built in stand and screen on function. Note that this doesn’t offer any protection on the sides of the device and the purpose of this case isn’t to protect it from heavy duty damage or drops. It’s for a tiny layer of protection to prevent the exterior from getting smudges and scratches and that’s about it. But for that purpose alone, it works flawlessly.

That case for my iPad is super beautiful and not only that it protects my iPad very well from any damage so my son can't hit it, I highly recommend it, I give it 5 stars

I like the OEM Apple cover for my iPad Pro 11 because of the fitment, functionality and it just works. Can angle the folding back to desired viewing angle.

I really love the color. It’s so light and fits perfectly on the iPad. I wish it had at least one more way to adjust it so it stood up but that’s minor.

This was for my daughter‘s iPad Pro M4. Quick to install no issues wish they had more colors currently using the white color.

This was a no brainer as the last Apple Smart Folio lasted for many years, and was still in great shape. This model has another angle available when opened that the older didn’t which is useful.

Nothing better for a basic cover for my ipad when I'm not using my keyboard case. Slim and light and functional. It works!

Slim, lightweight, and protects my iPad perfectly. I like how it doubles as a stand—it’s practical and feels high quality.
