    Disappointing, totally falling apart after a few months. This is the second Speck case that has not lasted a year. I won't buy another.

    This item had to be returned since it did not fit the unit my wife purchased, which turned out to be the previous years' machine. The info on the package was not easily readable, hence the wrong purchase.

    It protects my screen and is apple pencil but I wouldnt get this color if I were you. If you are buying it for a child just know that it stains quickly. Also, it wont stay in place.

    Causes battery to drain when closed

    The build quality is ok. My big problem with it is that when you close it (with or without the clasp), the iPad doesn't always turn off. It also seems to trigger the iPad to turn on at random. I've opened up my backpack to see light coming from the iPad. The problem, it consistently causes my iPad battery to drain. I never had this issue with my previous case, so, I'll be buying a new one.

    Plastic trim serves no real purpose since it is too delicate, not able to endure regular use. Rubber would make more sense.

    The Speck Balance Folio fits my IPad 10th Gen well. It is easy to use, and the buttons are easy to access. However, the package claims it works with the magnetic sleep/wake feature. This feature is supposed to put the tablet into sleep mode when the case is closed. It does not work at all. I was told to turn on the feature in settings. There is no such setting. I used another brand with this feature, and it worked flawlessly without any setting changes.

    Terrible Customer Service

    Terrible experience overall. This has been an absolute nightmare. The item has been saying delayed for weeks and customer service told me the item was returned. I was then forced to go to a store to re-purchase the item and now I’m being told the items are being delivered. In addition, there is a disclaimer that said if I didn’t receive the items by 12/16 a refund would be issued. I will NEVER ORDER AN ONLINE ITEM AGAIN. Best Buy cannot get any more business for me because of the run around and hassle this has caused me the past few weeks.
