First 10.5 Post,..where are the rear Apple Cases?

[MikeElmendorf]

Update: I got my 10.5" Pro and this case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUimUvbUpU2958956

Fits perfectly, and very pleased to be able to put the pencil in there, too. I have one coming without the pencil compartment as well for when I don't need it.

Works so well that I'm not sure I'd bother to buy the Apple silicone back cover when/if it comes out. Much cheaper, too.

I just ordered the Poetic back cover. It’s kind of ugly, IMO, with the pencil holder attached to the side, but it will have to do for now.

It looks like there's finally a good back cover option. Tech 21 impact clear back cover w/ pencil holder and Smart Keyboard/Cover compatibility.

Went with the UAG Metropolis case. Excellent case that fits the Smart Keyboard.

You might try Pad & Quill. They have leather ones that are beautiful, but they are backordered. I'm still waiting for mine.

To follow up on that, I received my Chestnut Oxford yesterday. Very nice! Only drawbacks so far:

1. Difficult to fold all the way back. Possibly will loosen up over time?
2. The first time you fold it back, it discolors the leather. P&Q seem to think it's part of the charm. I'm not sold on that yet.
3. The Pencil holder is unbelievable tight. So tight, I was worried the Pencil would break when I was inserting.

Those are nitpicks. Very nice case. Smells amazing!

Lucky you that it already arrived! Yes, the video addresses these issues. It's supposed to get better and better over time. I laugh, however, at the 25-yr guarantee--hopefully it will work for some future models of iPad.

Does Tech 21 clear back cover work well with the Smart Cover?

I have the Zugu case. Really nice. The stand has magnets to keep in place and has pencil holder on back.

Agreed. I just picked up the 10.5 pro and originally tried the UAG case and didn't like it because it only work propped up in one position(even though it had other grooves).

Got the ZUGU case and love it. The magnets allow it to be stood up and many different angles and it's not too bulky at all.
