    The heavy feel did not reveal better quality. The plastic tab were very flimsy and broke with minimal use.

    It's okay if you have additional protection, like an additional bag to place it in but on its own, it's not worth it. No easy place to protect and store the pencil either. Not sure if the elastic band is for that purpose but it's on the outside and placed too high on the side of the cover. Only 1/4 of the pencil is held and even more so, hard to keep the pencil in place when trying to slide it in.

    I am really impressed with this case, I chose it because it was the cheapest one that was not an injection molded piece of garbage. I was expecting it to be decent but man I was wrong, it is amazing! The material feels really nice and seems a lot more durable than the $80 Apple official one. It rejects dirt and grime really well and has a nice color. Additionally, unlike the Apple official one it offers actual protection for the device. It is still quite slim, and I would be careful with it, but it is much better than the competition. Despite not including it on this product page, it does auto sleep and auto wake the device when you open and close the fold which is something I really like. The clip acts as a convenient guard for the Apple Pencil protecting it from falling out, and the camera cover is a nice touch. I rarely use the camera so having it covered and protected I like There are some things I think could be better however. For one the aforementioned clip can be quite awkward when you have the case open and the cover folded back. It bends a little bit and you need to be careful, I am worried it might break after a few years of use. And when you have that cover folded back make sure the surface you have the iPad on is clean as the inside felt lining attracts dust, eraser shavings, anything. And it can be a pain to get out. In conclusion it is an amazing case and I would recommend it to anyone looking for something slim and stylish but also durable enough for everyday use.

    The Speck Balance Folio R Case for Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd/2nd/1st Gen) and iPad Air 10.9-inch (5th/4th Gen) in Black/White is an exceptional choice for those seeking a stylish and protective case for their iPad. As an owner of an iPad Pro, I was in search of a case that would not only safeguard my device but also add a touch of sophistication, and this case delivered on both fronts. First and foremost, the build quality of the Speck Balance Folio R Case is impressive. The combination of a sturdy polycarbonate shell and a durable synthetic leather cover ensures reliable protection against scratches, bumps, and accidental drops. I appreciate how well the case fits my iPad, providing a secure and snug fit without adding unnecessary bulk. The design of the case is sleek and elegant. The black and white color scheme adds a touch of sophistication to my iPad, making it stand out while maintaining a professional appearance. The synthetic leather cover has a smooth texture, offering a comfortable grip and a luxurious feel. The Balance Folio R Case is more than just a protective shell; it also offers functional features. The front cover folds back to create a convenient stand, allowing for multiple viewing angles. Whether I'm typing, watching videos, or engaging in video calls, I can easily adjust the angle to suit my needs. The magnetic closure ensures that the cover stays securely in place, providing added peace of mind. Another standout feature is the integrated Apple Pencil holder. This feature securely holds my Apple Pencil in place, preventing it from getting lost or accidentally detached. It's conveniently located on the side of the case, ensuring easy access whenever I need to use or charge my Apple Pencil. The precise cutouts and button covers provide easy access to all ports, buttons, and cameras, without hindering functionality. I appreciate the thoughtful design that allows me to use my iPad seamlessly without having to remove the case.

    The Speck Folio R Case for the iPad Pro 11-inch is a notable entrant in the crowded field of tablet protection, marrying functional design with reliable protection. This extensive 4-star review will dissect the various facets of this case, elucidating why it stands as a strong contender for iPad Pro users in search of a blend of style, functionality, and protection. **Design and Aesthetics (4/5):** The Speck Folio R Case is designed with an eye for elegance and practicality. Its sleek profile does not detract from the iPad Pro’s inherent design appeal, a significant achievement for a protective case. The choice of materials contributes to a premium look and feel, with a tactile finish that enhances grip without adding undue bulk. However, some users might find the design a tad conservative, lacking the flair of other cases in the market that offer more vibrant color options or patterns. **Protection and Durability (4.5/5):** Where the Speck Folio R truly excels is in its robust protection. Engineered to shield the iPad Pro from everyday bumps, drops, and scratches, the case features a durable outer layer coupled with a soft inner lining that cradles the device. The edges are reinforced to absorb impact, offering peace of mind for users who are constantly on the move. The case’s ability to withstand daily wear and tear is commendable, though it falls slightly short of being completely waterproof or dustproof, which are features some users might look for in high-end cases. **Functionality and Usability (4/5):** The Speck Folio R Case scores high marks for its functionality. It offers a versatile viewing stand with multiple angles, accommodating everything from typing to watching videos. The magnetic closure system is both secure and convenient, ensuring the case stays closed when not in use and the iPad Pro goes into sleep mode to save battery life. Access to all ports, buttons, and the camera is unhindered, allowing for full use of the iPad without needing to remove the case. One area for improvement is the integration of a slot for the Apple Pencil, which, while present, could be more securely designed to prevent accidental dislodgments. **Value for Money (4/5):** Priced competitively, the Speck Folio R Case offers good value, considering the high level of protection and functionality it provides. It stands as a worthwhile investment for iPad Pro users seeking a case that balances cost with performance. While there are cheaper options available, the quality of materials and construction justifies the price tag. However, for those prioritizing ultra-premium materials or additional features like waterproofing, there might be a sense of wanting just a bit more for the price. **Conclusion:** The Speck Folio R Case for the iPad Pro 11-inch is a solidly constructed, thoughtfully designed case that meets the needs of most users looking for everyday protection and functionality. Its sleek aesthetics, durable build, and practical features like the versatile stand and magnetic closure make it a strong choice for iPad Pro users. While it may not boast the waterproofing or dustproof features of some high-end cases, nor the most vibrant design options, it stands out for its balance of protection, functionality, and value. Overall, the Speck Folio R Case earns a commendable 4-star rating, making it a recommendable choice for those in search of a reliable case that doesn’t compromise the iPad’s usability or style.

    Nice durable case and made well. Too clunky for me and the closer clasp is hard plastic that is alway bumping wrists and hands. It is a nice hard case though that protects it well.

    I have owned this iPad cover for a couple months now and find it very convenient to use, plus it is great protection for the pad itself. It allows me to use it both in my lap and as a stand up screen. The handy loop lock on top gives it protection and is easy to both apply and open. 5 STARS ,
