    This is a great case for the iPad on the go. Easy to keep clean and protects it very well. Also comes in some very nice and modern colors.the prop on the back is great at keeping the iPad balanced to watch shows hands free.

    The case has great quality for its price. I was a little worried at first because i didn’t know how sturdy it would be when it’s propped up. The case has magnets to keep it up right. I would say that this case is stronger than the normal smart folio case. I really love that the case allows my iPad to sit up by itself on my bed and I can use it without it falling over. The case also has a spot for your Apple Pencil so it doesn’t get lost, as there is also a clip to keep the whole thing shut. I also love the magnetic flap for the camera. The camera flap allows me to use the back camera when I need but keeps it safe and covered when I don’t, it uses magnets so it’s not just flailing around like crazy. All around very happy with my purchase.

    Love my new case. Smooth leather like material and I like that it protects my iPad front and back and also fits the Apple Pencil inside the case. I switched from a case with built in keyboard and found it drained my iPads battery, this one doesn’t. Overall nice quality product.

    Speck Folio Case For iPad Air 11”

    The Speck case for my iPad is not only nice looking, especially the subtle purple color but it’s also made well. It open and closes with ease and you can fold the cover back and out of the way when you want to lay it flat to use your iPad. I’ve purchased a Speck iPad cover in the past and it outlasted my iPad so the brand is made durable.

    Great Case “SPECK” Love it but it does scar easily. It does everything I want a case to do which holds in my Apple Pencil when not in use & when the case is closed the pencil is locked in never will you loose the pencil. I also like the fact I can sit and place the case on my lap & adjust it for my preference of viewing.

    Very nice and expensive feeling case the top left black thin plastic part next to top left speaker of the iPad snapped off. it hasn’t broken off but the right end of it is no longer connected to the other part of the plastic part of the case, It must had been when I put my M3 iPad Air in the plastic holder that it’s supposed to be in it almost didn’t fit so I had to put some pressure to make it fit it was designed for the M2 IPad Air that might be why it barely fitted, it resisted all that pressure when I pressed it in there so the top left plastic bridge of the front of the iPad broke. It’s still there but the left part is not connected. Maybe only get this case for the M2 IPad Air or be extremely careful when pressing it in the plastic holders if your getting it for the M3 it still feels like a high quality $100 case and I paid $50 for it so that might have made up for the minor cosmetic damage at least for me.

    Has protected my IPad for over half a year with 7-8 drops and no cracks or damages to the iPad itself. And I love the magnetic pen holder for a stylus or Apple pen.

    Decent Protection, But Lacks Long-Term Durability

    The Speck Balance Folio Case for the iPad Air and Pro models does a great job protecting the device, offering solid coverage and a sleek design. However, I was disappointed that the case cracked after just three months of use. While it initially provides good protection, it doesn't seem durable enough for long-term use.

    This ifs my second case from this brand. I have one in black. They last for a really long time and they are very study. I like the fact that I can keep my apple pencil on the magnetic charge and the case locks around it. I don’t like those cases were I have to constantly insert the pencil into a slot holder. This one is more convenient.

    This is an awesome case/cover. It holds the iPad firmly and is easy to hold in my hand. My husband and I both have this case. We only wish they would be colored to match our iPads. Being black hides the color of our iPads.
