I've had the opportunity to test this out for awhile now, and overall quality and price are just right in my opinion. I've owned other UAG cases in the past especially for my iPhones and they've always been quality. What I noticed with this case as well as my iPhone cases of UAG is that they have this futuristic tech-like aesthetic to them, I don't know if that makes sense. It has a very gadget-y, Iron Man like vibe to them in the best way possible.
I upgraded from an iPad Pro 11 inch with M2 which I gave to my sister, but before doing so I wanted to test out the case on it since it's the same size just with the M2 instead of the M4, and I understand now why it's M4 model only. It's not like with iPhones being the exact dimensions for a lot of their models, and that's okay. Just be sure to read before purchasing.
Overall, end of the day it's a case, but a very good one. It's super secure, easy to put on, the build quality feels like it will last a very long time. It feels really great and grippy.

Nice Rugged Thin Case for M4 iPad Pro 11

The UAG stuff is always a little "rugged" looking - Its part of their brand. I was pleasantly surprised to see just how svelte and form fitting this case was when receiving it.
It features a hard rubber body with shock absorbing hexagon liner inside to protect your iPad from bumps, and then features a wraparound "faux-leather-and-felt screen cover that doubles as a flexible multi-angle stand, and screen protector/pen holder flap.
If this is the style of case you're into, this one seems to do a pretty good job. I wish the screen cover/stand attachment was removable, as I really liked the base case for what it does - The iPad Pro M4 fits VERY snugly inside, and is well protected from all angles, including a sizable screen bumper edge that doesn't make the iPad feel super bulky.
I wish the same could be said for the "screen cover/stand/closing flap, which cheapens the overall look of the kit. First of all the edges of the "faux-leather-felt" cover are "faux stitched" to give the appearance of leather - Why on something meant to look rugged, not luxurious? It seems a mixed message. Second, the flap that holds this thing closed seems superfluous and always seemed to be in the way of my using the tablet when opened- And the hard case potion offers a bit of a "pencil saddle" for the pen to fit into when magnetically charging on the iPad, so putting a "strap/flap" over it seems silly. Also with all the extra space around the screen, put some little magnets in there and spare us the big flap that seems to have nowhere to go when it's closed. This harkens me to online offshore knock-offs of official Apple cases that couldn't do the magnets right.
In the end its highly functional, but I'm going to have the soft parts worn and creased all over where I'm constantly fiddling with them when I am USING the iPad, and I wish they were removable. If you are looking for a VERY protective case that you dont mind looking like it was military issued (but stitched and refined, you know, for the officers) then this one is a good fit. If you want simplicity and elegant protection for your iPad that doesn't feel all floppy and awkward, look elsewhere.

Too Thin with a Weak Magnet

If I was rating just the packaging, there would be another star or two. I like the design of the box and how a piece of it slides out at an angle to allow for the case to come out.
Unfortunately, the iPad case isn’t as good as I was hoping. It is a bit flimsy to the touch and feels too thin overall. Once installed onto the iPad Pro it is a snug fit and will not come off without some effort. In that regard, it is protective as the corners are reinforced and thick enough to make a difference if dropped. The case covers the back well but the front flap is where I feel it is too thin.
The automatic on and shut off feature was sporadically working for me. I attribute this to the magnet in the closure flap not being strong enough. It opens too easily and with little effort. This is a problem if you are carrying it and it was to slightly slip in your hand, it could accidentally open too easily leaving the front exposed to damage.
When opened up for use, you can fold the cover all the way around and use it in portrait mode nicely. However, if you want to rotate and use it sideways to watch a movie or an application, the grooves on the front flap are not raised enough to hold the device in place very well and it can fall too easily. The case is made to hold the pencil in place but because the magnet is not very strong, it can come out of place and you risk losing it.
For the price, I would look for other alternatives. If they come out with another version, I would consider it because they’re on the right track and with minor changes, they could make significant improvements.

Auto sleep/wake not as advertised; UAG lies
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Writing review here because UAG won’t publish it. I received an email apology and discount code after preorder stating the auto sleep function might be delayed by 5 seconds and the wake function was working appropriately.
Upon receiving my case, I quickly realized that neither the auto wake nor auto sleep function work at all. I contacted customer service and they now claim the case doesn’t have that feature at all and have scrubbed any mention from their website.
Rolling things out without proper testing is bad enough, but lying after receiving an apology email is ridiculous. They will accept the return, but it’s poor form on their part.
