First of all, be aware that the 1-star reviews are because previous packaging for the 2023 iPad Pro case led people to think it fit the M4 Pro but didn’t. In Oct 2024 this an updated case that *does* fit the ipad Pro M4 and the packaging properly indicates 2024 version on it. I’m a Speck fan and have used their cases exclusively for my iPhones for many years. I chose this case for my iPad over a couple of other brands for its slim form and light weight. It gives good protection all the way around, rather than leaving the metal edges of the iPad exposed. The snap tab closure works well and the magnet holds my pencil in place very well. Sleep/wake works great. A major complaint however is that with this color, the purple with light gray interior, it leaves a nasty film of dusty residue all over the iPad glass which is very difficult to remove. See picture. I hope this film is not damaging my glass. I have had to use optical lens cleaner and soft cloth rubbing quite hard multiple sprays to remove the residue. It’s very annoying. I wonder if the black version of this case which has a black interior might be a better choice or if it just leaves a black dusty residue. When you’re putting a case on an item that cost over $1000, famous for its vibrant brilliant screen, you shouldn’t have have to deal with the case dirtying and obscuring the screen. Speck, please do better. Another con is that the stand usn’t very good at staying in tented position, it flops down with any movement.

Great build quality and simple to use. I love the camera cover and the loop for the pencil. This is the only brand I would use and several of my colleagues ended up getting it as well.

The box mentions a previous year. Sleep nd wake on opening cover does not work. Called speck who confirmed they knew of the issue but did not have ny options side from returns to store to offer when orobed about the 30 day / 1 year coverage. An absolute waste of time to now have to go to store to drop this off. Buy the apple cover from apple directly instead. Also adding pics of my last speck purchase, the mistakes in design that led to failure are repeated here.

I love the Speck Balance Folio Case in Plumberry Purple! The color is beautiful, and it fits my iPad Pro 11" (M4 chip) perfectly. The case is sturdy, lightweight, and has a secure magnetic closure. The adjustable stand is super convenient for typing and watching videos. It protects well without being bulky. Highly recommend for style and functionality!

I’ve been using this Speck Balance Folio Case with my iPad Pro 11” for a few weeks, and it’s been a great fit. The case feels sturdy without adding too much bulk, and the material has a premium feel. The folio cover protects the screen well and folds easily into different viewing angles, which is useful for both typing and watching videos.
The cutouts are precise, and the buttons are easy to access. I also like how securely the iPad sits in the case it doesn’t feel loose at all. Overall, this case does exactly what it’s supposed to do and offers solid protection while still looking clean and professional.

The case is perfect for my iPad. It is firm, light and the stand-up option works great. The iPad maintains his firmness and protects the iPad very well. Price was reasonable.

The Speck Balance Folio Case is a straightforward yet effective solution for protecting the latest Apple iPad Pro 11”. Its design is simple but functional, offering both a secure cover and a built-in stand for convenient viewing angles. The locking mechanism, made of hard plastic, clicks into place firmly, ensuring a reliable hold. After a week of use, it performs as expected—no frills, just solid protection and practicality.

This is my second one of these. The first was for an older model and although the case was still in good shape it wouldn’t fit my new device. I love that it covers and protects the camera when not in use. The color is so pretty. The closure works great. Great product!

This is a solid case that offers good protection but isn’t overly bulky. I like that there’s a space for the Apple Pencil to securely snap in so that it won’t accidentally get lost. My one gripe is that the case doesn’t offer the sleep/wake feature when you fold the case over the screen. This is common is most iPad cases and is a bummer to not have.

I love the texture of the case, it gives my iPad great protection, it doesn’t hinder the use if iPad and u can use it as a stand as well. I totally would recommend!

Feels solid and protective without being bulky. It keeps the screen safe and doubles as a stand that’s easy to adjust for typing or watching videos.
I like how it still lets the iPad look sleek while adding real protection. It’s comfortable to hold and gives me peace of mind against drops and scratches.
