Customers are saying

Customers commend the Balance Folio Case for its excellent protection, perfect fit, and ease of use. Many appreciate its stand feature, manageable weight, stylish design, and attractive color options. The case's quality and compatibility with the Apple Pencil are also well-received, especially considering its reasonable price. While some desire a more secure closure, the case is generally favored for not adding excessive bulk.

    The case is awkward to use. It is very stiff and often slides off the track when you try to use it either horizontally or vertically. Like that the camera is protected with a flip cover. There is also a locking mechanism but it is not easy to to open and close . It is the only cover to fit my 11 Air 2024

    So far, so good. Kind of a minimalist case that doesn’t break the bank. Nice texture. I like that the back camera is covered so I don’t have to worry about scratching it. Stand to watch movies works surprisingly well….better than Smart Cover on my previous iPad.

    Basic protection with low functionality

    if all you want is something to protect your iPad from drops and falls, this works fine as long as the cover it latched. Should it fall with the cover folded back then all bets are off. For total protection, I would recommend a different offering from Otterbox or the like. The stand is not really a workable feature as the positioning is not steady for touchscreen use with fixed seating. Getting the viewing angle right is not possible unless you are the perfect height and body proportion to the table and/or a chair with adjustable sitting height. This is iPad protection at it's most basic. Beyond that, not so much.

    I would not have bought this if it wasn’t for the Best Buy Associate recommending it & it’s actually perfect. I love the magnetic closure. I love that it fully covers the iPad, and is self standing whereas Apple keyboard case doesn’t do either.

    Great case for protection of my iPad. Works great for automatically shutting down screen upon closing and awaking upon opening. Just wish it also had a separate slot to store the Apple Pencil instead of having to keep in on the charge inside of the case.

    This folio cover is perfect for its intended use. It’s well made and keeps the iPad and pencil in place. The grooves in the lid that allow you to stand the iPad at particular angles works well of its on a reasonably flat surface. I would but this again.

    Well made case. I like the camera protector. But the closure is annoying to snap close if it doesn't align precisely. Too much time fumbling to snap close for complete protection. Also the 3 angles for viewing are not the best.

    This item goes on sale occasionally for about $20. Fits various iPads wonderfully. It’s durable. And versatile. It’s hard to pass up. My phone case is also a black Speck. It’s also wonderful.
