A few thoughts on this. No, the flaps do not stay place with magnets. There is a latching device that secures the closure instead. The magnet closures on the Apple folio are iffy, this latch approach will take some getting used to, but is probably a better approach. There is no sleep - wake as the folio is opened and closed, but for me I generally use the button to do that anyway. It does offer edge and corner protection (unlike the Apple folio), though it is minimal. The folding and propping up functions work well. When the cover is doubled over it is a little too long, pooching out on the back by a quarter inch or so. All cutouts and buttons work. It has a protective flap over the camera lenses. It looks good, all black. It is not too heavy or bulky, like many of its competitors. It has a good place to secure the pencil which is directly attached so it charges properly. All in all, it will work for me, but it has a number of flaws - the packaging says it has magnets and turns off and on automatically, but neither are true.

I recently upgraded to the latest iPad Pro 13” with the M4 chip and needed a case that would complement its sleek design while offering serious protection. The Speck Balance Folio Case absolutely delivers. The magnetic cover is responsive with the auto wake/sleep feature, and it folds into a sturdy stand for multiple viewing angles, perfect for video calls, drawing, or typing. I especially appreciate how easily it switches from landscape to writing mode.

This is a nice cover, but I don't think it affords me quite the protection that I was initially looking for... however, where it loses a star is in the kickstand. I just doesn't hold the tablet at the lower angles.

Plastic cracked but doesn’t affect tehe functionality of the case.

Great quality of leather and really strong finish!!!

This case is great! It’s by far my favorite iPad case I’ve had! I really like the clasp.

Works great with the 13 inch iPad has a cover so keeps the lens clean so you take clear pictures as a locking snap on top to keep it locked in place and has various adjustments to hold it upright

Great case for low profile protection with a integrated base and space for a Apple Pencil to be stored to charge

It's nice quality product and fits very well. Having space for apple pencil

I love Speck iPhone cases so I expected to love this iPad case. I gave it a 4 because it didn’t cover the buttons (thus elevating them and making them easier to use) the buttons on the iPad were so flush (don’t raise up much) it was less easy to use the buttons. I exchanged this case for one the covered (and elevated) the buttons for volume etc. personal preference.

Great value and good cover, it keeps the iPad in a great state.

This iPad cover is very nice. It latches and keeps my iPad safe from damage. It also acts as a stand and that part is easy to use and works well. I carry my iPad between my office and home every day and I would buy this case again.

Lightweight but sturdy. One of the best products I’ve ever purchased. The design is a definite feel good.

My grandson really likes it and he loves his iPad and it’s like everything else we buy at Best Buy. We’ve always had good luck cause that’s the only place we buy tech from.

Nice price The little plastic bar at bottom of it has broke off, does not affect the product

Great case. I like how this case is thin but still very protective.

Speck, I have their cases for all three of my latest iPads. The 13" pro, the 11" pro and the iPad mini. Perform just like expected, provie great protection, protect the Apple pencil wonderfully. protect camera lenses and easy to move for camera use. I love the Speck cases.

This product is good for temporary protection for the device. Putting it on the device was easy but its very poor quality.

Just a really great iPad very fast and very clear screen view.

Thin, but durable. Product as described and has held up very well with daily use.
