I like the other material, its almost like a vinyl, it feels durable & the color is lovely. I appreciate that its drop tested up to 4 ft. In case of the event that I do drop it it would be from about that height. They left cut outs for all the buttons for easy access.
I like that they made a magnetic camera cover, so I don’t have to worry about the camera on hard surfaces, I felt that was very thoughtful.
They also made space on the side of the iPad to protect your pencil from getting hit and lost, but if you use a 3rd party pencil there is no place to hold it.
I’m happy that in stand up mode there is 6 angles to choose from.
My only negative, when i put it in the “typing angle” it doesn't stay too long on hard surfaces, in which I’ve just been laying it flat down to type.

Love that the camera flap is magnetic so I don't have to worry about holding it back when I need to take a picture. I also like that I can clip the flap. It also has ridges so it can stand at various angles.
It also did not break or crack when it had fallen from my bed (~3ft).

Fits my iPad Pro perfectly. My Apple Pencil fits and is secured. The different viewing angles are super convenient. I like the camera flap that keeps the camera protected until you want to use it. Wish it was more like $20-$30 but my options were limited and the Immediate availability was what I needed

Case was nice and easy to use. I love how the installing was not super complicate. Clip and done. That’s how fast it was. Carrying it around was nice. The description to this case does what it says. Very impressive. I love it and I did not regret buying it.

It fits iPad pro 11” 2018/2020 it’s a really nice case and the back flap protects the camera when i’m not using it and i don’t use it often so my camera is always protected. Very nice material and quality

It keeps the Apple Pencil very secure which is something I was worried about. The only thing is you can’t stand it up vertically.

I looked for a case for my new iPad Pro 11". During this pandemic time, there was only this case available at my local store in my price range. I was not sure I'd like it. But, I love it. It protects my iPad and also, I can set it on a table and prop it up to view the screen at an angle. The extra features are the flap that covers the camera and a slot for the iPad Pencil #2. Great case for around $35.

I've had this for almost 5 years now, and it's still good as new. I love that it doesn't get in the way of my Apple pencil and that it covers the camera (but allows me to uncover the camera as necessary.) I also love that I don't need to buy a separate iPad holder because it is capable of holding my iPad up.

I love this case, it has a spot for the Apple Pencil and it wraps completely around the edges of the iPad to protect it.
It has a secure snap to keep it closed in transit and it allows for many different angles when standing it on a desk or your lap.
The camera flap is nice to as it protects the camera when you aren't using it but quickly flips out of the way when you want to take a photo.

This case is very durable, and I love the protective flip cover for the camera. The only improvement I have is the closure clasp. I would prefer a magnetic flap instead because the immovable plastic part makes it difficult to insert the Apple Pencil.

I picked this case because even though it's a folio, it has a hard shell for the iPad itself and a built-in spot for the pencil. It's also pretty lightweight.
The only downsides I've found:
-The clasp isn't magnetic
-When you go to fold the front cover behind the iPad, the whole thing swings open and off-balance because of where it's attached on the back, so I'm worried that one of these days I'm going to drop it.
If I hadn't gotten it on sale, I would say that it's a bit expensive. But for $25 it was a great price!

Easy to handle, lightweight, so far has protected my iPad and let me tell you that I drop my iPad a lot. I wish you can add a keyboard to it to make it perfect. Price is good.

Just the right size. Clips the device in firmly. The pencil holder is a nice bonus. Firm protection from the everyday uses.

My wife wanted an updated case when our iPad air took a shot off the table with the kids. So far this has nice padding to deal with some of the kid abuse. The stand has adjustments for how upright you want it to stand. It latches close so no accidental opening if it falls or is shoved in a bag. And also has a flap to protect the rear camera. It does its job...and well.

Fits my iPad Pro perfectly. Like the clasp that keeps it closed. Probably the type of protection you want for a high end iPad, is heavier than a traditional back case and screen protector. I skipped the screen protector because they can cause issues with the anti-fingerprint coatings and touch sensors when removed. Will see how it works.

Overall good case!
Has a few different view configurations. Also easy to snap in and out of the case. Holds the pencil securely.
The only dislike is that it warps a little bit, so just be careful about that. If it warps too much, it may not fully cover the screen and the locking screen mechanisms may not work properly. Just make sure not to push on the case if the ipad is not in there.
