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.

    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.

    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

    It kinda works as a protector. Can’t easily kickstand like other cases. There are much better iPad cases like the ZUGU.

      Hi Rebecca,
      Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the Balance Folio Case. We definitely appreciate the feedback, as it helps us understand your experience better. It sounds unusual that your Pencil isn't staying securely in place and that you're seeing some color changes. Since our cases are designed specifically to provide both durability and a secure fit, we'd like to take a closer look into this for you.
      Please reach out to us at customerservice@speckproducts.com, and our team will be glad to help figure out what's happening and find a solution. SpeckProducts

    Good product, great price. My wife loves it without spend a lot of $ for the task. But the con camera block when you fold back the cover and hold by one hand.

      Thanks for sharing your experience, CathyH — we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. The Balance Folio is designed for long-term protection, so a break after three months isn’t something we anticipate. We’d like to take a closer look and explore warranty options with you; feel free to reach out to our team at customerservice@speckproducts.com and we’ll be glad to help SpeckProducts

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ElenaS — we’re glad the Plumberry Purple Balance Folio caught your eye for style. It’s built with a reinforced polycarbonate shell and raised bezel that meet our drop-test standards, yet we know protection preferences can vary. Your feedback helps us fine-tune that balance between sleek looks and everyday defense, and we’ve passed it along to our product team for review. SpeckProducts
