This case is very cheap. I paid around $50 for this case but I really don't like it at all. The plastic screen was scratched and had an appearance that made the iPad look cloudy. Its not in good packaging, there were fingerprints on the plastic screen cover I attempted to clean it off but it's not something that could be cleaned. Also, the rubber case would not fit back onto the hard plastic case properly. Overall I was not satisfied and plan to return it for a different, more durable case.

I bought this case for a 9.7 iPad Pro, mainly looking for a case that also held the Apple Pencil. This case has a built in pencil holder on the back (which I love). The case itself feels bulky but the added protection is nice. I'd buy it again .... Wish there were others colors but the green is ok.

Although it was the only one available in the store to purchase for my iPad it has protected it and was a decent price

Like the design; protects screen well; sturdy; had to ask salesclerk to assist with application onto device; stylus holder doesn't allow frame to lay flat and would have liked it as an option to apply if I wanted to.

Although the case provides excellent protection for your IPad Pro, the pen holder attached to rear broke after 3 weeks of use. Now I have to dig through my bag to find it when needed. Does work good with Apple keyboard.

I have other Griffin cases. Like the others, this one is built well. I have 2 toddlers who use my iPad Pro and have dropped it more than once! This case does an awesome job protecting it. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 is because of the Pencil holder in the back. It broke within about a month of buying it. That particular feature is not sturdy enough to hold up to regular use. And that's pretty important to me because without it, i'm confident i will lose the Pencil at some point.

I think this is a great all in one protector and I like that it covers the screen and has a holder for the pen. We have had it on our devise since we purchased it. It is great protection but I took it off last night and was surprised at how sleek and pretty the iPad is without this on it.

I bought this case because Best Buy was out on literally everything. I should have just purchased a case online. Parts of this case have already broken. The rubber grip that holds the iPad up with the stand is already gone. I don't recommend this case if you have children.

A rugged case that manages to survive toddlers, not as good as the griffin or lifeproof case, but there is not much choice for iPad Pro

I bought the gray/mint case, but received the blue/black one instead. I was disappointed but wanted to make sure my iPad had the protection it needed.
The case stand is very helpful, and I like being able to attach the keyboard to the smart connector, but this lets in a lot of dust underneath the screen cover. The pencil holder on the back also has already snapped off while it was in my backpack

Purchased cover a few weeks ago and unfortunately the rubber piece on kickstand is already starting to come off. $75 is a lot of money for a cover and I would expect to to be able to withstand wear and tare for at least a year not a few weeks...disappointed in product for that reason. Other than that, actually very pleased with the overall design.

I bought this case for required school product. The kickstand broke and the plastic covering is breaking. It is good for dropping and keeping the iPad safe. It has given me little cuts on my hand when the plastic/silicon came off. Overall, I would not recommend this.

The case is good. The down side is the pencil holder is poorly built. After a month of having the case, the pencil holder started to detach from the case. This was without using it. We don't have the apple pencil yet.

This items is real light weight, does not seem like its going to last too long, as the Shield/cover for the Charging plug, is very thin and hanging on by a thread. But for the Price and having some protection its good, better than nothing, I purchased it, as nothing else was available.

the Case it self does what it is meant to do and that is to protect the Ipad, but the Pencil Holder broke within a week of owning it. other than that it works fine.

I bought this protective case for my new IPad Pro. Fit is snugly perfect. The clear screen protector does not interfere with the Apple Pencil. Best of all, the pencil holder on the back holds securely without slippage, yet the pencil is easy to clip into place. I have not dropped it yet, thank goodness, but the bumpers fit tightly and seem cushy without being too soft. Would definitely purchase this again if needed.
