    Really nice folio case at a great price

    I'd just gotten a new iPad Air and wanted a case w/o a keypad for taking notes. It's hard to use the iPad for note taking with a keyboard attached. When I went into BB, there were very few folio cases available and I "settled" for this one. I'm glad I did. It holds the iPad firmly, but it's easy to take off. It has a nice feel, sturdy but not heavy. You can adjust it into a stand with a number of options. There's a little flap to make the camera available w/o having to take off the case.It's magnetic so it doesn't open when not in use. Didn't think I'd use it, but I have. Best part. There's a little latch at the side (or top, depending on layout) that holds the pencil in place when you close the case! More expensive cases don't have that and anyone who uses a pencil will understand what a bonus that is. No more having to search for where the pencil dropped (and now it has no charge) or having to carry around another case just for the pencil. Great little folio case at an excellent price. Just wish I could have gotten it in a color.

    I bought this case for my iPad Pro 11 2021. At first look, it didn’t feel sturdier to me but when the case actually came and I put it on my iPad, this is the best cover. It has the clasp which secures the iPad and the Apple Pencil very well. It Keeps the camera covered and back flap is easy to fold when you want to use the camera without removing the whole case. That is the best feature. Overall a great iPad cover. Highly recommend it!

    Color, Folding Positions, and Apple Pencil Slot

    This case is very cute and I love the color. If you looking for a larger variety in colors, this may not be the case for you as it only has 3 or 4 color options. I love how I can stand up the iPad tall if I want to watch movies or tv shows on the iPad. It can fold open 360 degrees to write notes for class lectures or work conferences, but if you want to fold it open and be elevated a few degrees, there is not really a sturdy option for that as it may flop over. It is not really a problem for me though. I am very satisfied with this product. I am very careful not to drop the device, so I do not know about the durability of the case. There is a space for the 2nd generation apple pencil, and the case allows for charging. The clip for the case to close is very convenient if you hold your iPad in many different ways.

    Very nice case so far. The camera cover works well. Dont have an Apple Pencil so cant comment on that. Fit of pad in case is good. Only issue so far is a small piece of plastic has come off next to the USB-C. port. Dont believe this was from misuse. Doesnt affect anything so far. Picture attached.

    I really like this. It works how it says. I think my favorite feature is the snap on the side that allows you to lock it in place closed or open. When you snap it while using, it keeps it straight and doesn’t put stress on the the side. And it also has a nice flip down over the camera. So the camera stays protected when not in use. My only suggestion would be more color options.

    I have a 2021 iPad Pro 11 with 5G and this thing is NOT light as a feather. I did not want to get a cover with a keyboard so I went with this SPECK Folio Case. I had this for a month now and I do not regret my purchase since I got this for half price during the Black Friday Deal. Regardless of the price, I would highly recommend this product to anybody who wants to protect their iPad while commuting.

    This is my second Speck case. I like the shade of blue, the material, the easy clasp and the best feature of all is the magnetic flap to open/close for the camera! This feature was a surprise find after purchase and I just think it’s the coolest thing! Wish I’d of invented it!

    I like that this case makes accessing my ipad easy, make my ipad feel safe and secure, and also allows for easy transition to a variety of angled positions for using the ipad. It is also nice that the latch on the side helps to secure the apple pencil as well. The camera area is nice that is well protected and yet easily accessible, however one thing I'm still getting used to is the fact that holding the ipad while taking a photo is a little awkward. Unfortunately, I think that would be the case with any "folio" shaped case though. Overall, I like the case!

    I like this iPad folio it looks like it will provide good protection for the iPad, it is light weight, has a camera cover ( I just need to remember to open it up too take pictures.) It also has multiple levels to position it open, however the ridges to put the bottom in are not deep enough as it slides at times while I’m on the iPad.

    I have been using this on my iPad for about 9 months and it has protected my iPad, it looks nice, and it hasn't worn at all. There is room for your Apple Pencil, a flap that can protect your camera or fold down, and it has a nice material.
