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.

    Doesn’t do what I want. It won’t stay upright. The grooves are deep enough. I should have looked at the description better as I wanted one the would rotate as well.

    This case is overpriced and it's not a good case it's supposed to be able to stand putting it into the slots on the case and it doesn't, this is a horrible case and I would never recommend anybody to buy it or even use it for free

    I do not care for this case as it really needs to be on a hard, level surface to use the stand feature for the table. It does keep the tablet secure.

    Just OK case - Auto sleep/wake NOT for 10th Gen

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This case is just OK. A little overpriced for the minimum work it does. The magnets on the cover for the camera and on the back seems to have weakened after being opened a handful of times. Also, the auto sleep/wake function DOES NOT work with the 10th gen 2022 iPad 10.9 at all. I thought it was something wrong with the iPad, but it turns out the case was misrepresented.

    I absolutely hate it!!! It sits in my basement, too upset to return for a refund!! IT IS HUGE for an Ipad 10"-- it should fit snug!!! This does not!! I've come to gate Speck products and their misleading Specs. Please better define "Fits up to 14" because now I bought junk that doesn't fit my Ipad Air 10.9". How misleading this product was. Best Buy? Will you look into this please?

    Bottom frame broke within 3 weeks of use from office to home. Never dropped, normal everyday use. Would not recommend.

      Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, HTXUser. The Balance Folio is designed for reliable, everyday protection, so a break like that with normal use is definitely not something we expect. We’d be glad to explore our warranty options with you — just reach out to customerservice@speckproducts.com and our team will be happy to help. SpeckProducts
