At first glance cover looks and feels good. The area where iPad fits into has plastic sides but looked strong enough to support the iPad. However in trying to fit it to my 2017 IPad Pro 10.5 inch I encountered a problem that some other reviewers had encountered which was a really tight fit, to the point that I thought if I try any harder iPad would get damaged. After some trying I finally fit it and it looked good all around and I was happy. Then a few weeks later I noticed another problem that some other reviewers had also encountered, and that was a cracked corner with a small chunk missing. I know that it was fine after the installation and I never dropped it so the crack must have developed due to being under stress (remember it was very tight when I tried to install it). It is still holding and i bought it on sale and is still functional so I am ok right now. Hopefully crack will not get worse any time soon! If it didn’t have this problem it would have been a great cover!

I love my folio case. It fits perfectly and it does not add too much weight to my IPad Pro.

I wanted a folio case because I had one from a different brand for my mini. I like that it protects my screen whenever I need to throw it in my bag and being able to have different viewing angles is nice.
I purchased this Speck case for my iPad Pro 10.5” and was happy with it... until today. I’ve only had it on for 8 days and noticed that it’s cracked.
I read others say it’s cracked/would break when removing the case but I haven’t even tried removing it because I didn’t need to.
But it’s cracked. In only 8 days.

I had hoped that this lighter case would be a good fit and more durable than the average case given the drop test claims. However, after owning it for about 45 days, and using it only 1/2 that time, the corner is cracked by the camera lens. I'm very disappointed. If you can get it for less than $20 bucks, might be worth it but not more than that.

Poor Durability

I have purchased this case twice now. Both times it broke. The first time I was putting it into my laptop bag. The notch around the power button snagged on the liner inside my bag. I pushed on it and it snapped the plastic back. Thinking this was my fault I purchased the case again. It broke in the exact same way. And this time I do not know how it did it.
I also have an iPad Mini 4. I also purchased 2 Speck cases for that iPad. The first case the material that acts as the hinge started to crack. I had that case for a long time and used that iPad daily. So figured it was just wear and tear. I purchased the exact same case for it as a replacement. Last week the iPad Mini 5 came out. Mine was delivered today. I went to remove the iPad Mini 4 from the case to see if the iPad Mini 5 would fit into it. Just simply removing the iPad Mini from the case caused the case to crack in the exact same way that the 2 cases for the iPad Pro 10.5' did. In almost the same location.
So obviously Speck uses cheap fragile plastic to make these cases. After 4 Speck products with poor quality materials, i will never buy a Speck product again.

The clasp, which is weak plastic, broke within six weeks. Conveniently out of the return window.

I’m sorry to say this case only lasted six days. I wish I would’ve read the other reviews. I figured it would be fine because so many ratings were high. I didn’t drop it and have been really careful.

This is a slim case for the iPad Pro 10.5 that offers excellent protection and multiple multiple viewing angles when used as an easel. It offers access to all the jacks, buttons and speakers and for the price is a bargain.

The color is very elegant understated and goes with any color iPad. I have the gold iPad. It covers so much of the iPad that you can barely tell which color iPad you have. I think the white a face works well with this color.
For the best part is the auto on/off feature that you usually only get with the Apple Smart Cover. The case gives you a few different viewing angles so it’s pretty versatile.

I got this for my wife for her new IPad and she loves it! It is functional, easy to use, and not bulky like some are. It's easy to travel with and the IPad is very protected. It's a full cover, not one that just covers the screen and it was at a great price point. I highly recommend this product.

My tablet fits in the case snuggly. I like the cheerful color. It has a nice snap closing on the side To keep it secure. I feel safe letting my grandchildren play with my tablet as long as it’s in the protective case

This is a great cover for the price. It fits well, the stand works and sleep/wake works. Read some of the reviews beforehand about all these things having issues but I’ve had no problems and been very happy with it. I use the IPad for work so looks professional too for the office.

This cover fits my iPad Pro perfectly, and it has the auto shut off feature when closing the cover that I was looking for. I got the (light) grey color because that was on sale..this is my second Speck cover, and I think highly of both of them.. though I haven’t dropped my IPad, I feel certain this cover will provide great protection.

For my first two iPads, I ended up with the Apple leather case each time. It fit the best and was more durable than other cases I tried. When I upgraded to the iPad Pro, I found out Apple doesn’t make the leather case for it anymore, so I got this one since the style and price (50% off) were attractive. So far, after a few weeks, it is working great. I like that you can stand the iPad up on its side (and it’s stable) using the cover. With the Apple case, I had to put it on a book stand. We will see about durability, but it seems well constructed.

I love this case. I have it for two years now. It’s good looking and it does the job for protecting my iPad . It has some minor breaks in time but still love it. My iPad still looks new no scratches. I had no problem with this case at all. Color is great too. It goes with the white color of my iPad. Makes it look professional.
