It’s slim, doesn’t make the iPad feel bulky, and still gives decent protection for normal use. Speck lists 4-foot drop protection, and the folio design covers the screen too, so it feels safer than the super-thin magnetic covers. It also folds into a stand, which is nice for watching videos or typing. 
The little details are actually useful too, like the secure latch and the camera shield on some versions. Auto sleep/wake is built in, so it feels seamless once you start using it. 
Only downside is it’s more of a practical case than a fancy one. It looks clean, but it’s not the most premium-feeling option out there, and the stand is good, not amazing.
Overall, it’s a good pick if you want something simple, protective, and reliable without spending a ridiculous amount on a case, which somehow is a thing now.

Provides good protection for my iPad. I had bought one for my wife's mini iPad and liked how it fit and latched close. The fold down to expose the camera lens is convention and when unfolded protects the lends. Being able to open the case and set it to an upright angle puts the iPad at an angle for convenient use. At all times the usb-c is available as well as the volume buttons. The case allows for proper touch with the unlock button.

The color is pretty and the material is sturdy. My iPad remained safe with this protection even with me dropping it multiple times. The iPad is still in perfect condition because of the case.

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.

Case fits well and holds pencil relatively well. Offers standard protection without adding too much bulk.
I hate the cover flap but that may just be intrinsic to this style of case. It makes it unpleasant to hold against the back or you can just let it dangle which just seems odd and cumbersome. If you don’t *need* a kickstand (which it doubles as) I recommend going with literally any other style of case. Not great for small humans as it makes the iPad more difficult/complex to hold.

It definitely a nice protective cover for my iPad Pro. And also covers my Apple pencil attached to the iPad. Stays closed until you open it. Worth the money.
