This thread has been extremely useful, thanks to all who have contributed. I picked up my iPad Pro with no protection as I just could not decided on which way to go.
I am pretty certain I am not a fan of the Apple Keyboard case - I am not a fan of the way it sits / looks when closed, and see it as quite bulky, the keyboard is nice for on the go, but I will primarily be using my iPad pro for most of my typing when in the office where I have a Logitech K810 & K811 (backlit, full function keys & microUSB rechargeable).
I was put off of the Apple Case and Cover as I was a bit taken aback by the price - especially when paying so much already for the device and pencil! I didn't realise that the case came in two separate (and expensive) pieces and it is currently limited in available colours so i wanted to look at alternatives.
Some of the alternatives I have seen (and listed here) are compelling - especially price wise, but most of them I feel are not ideal for me either, slightly too bulky, or with smart cover capability but non removable. The logitech Create is impressive, I am surprised there has not been more published about this one, but it looks to me like it would be quite spongey to use and have a lot of bounce when pressing the screen (obviously that is just an assumption), but I also don't like how much the case protrudes from the front of the iPad (where the keyboard would be on a keyboard case).
So having taken the time to think about it, I'm right back to square one and I'm going to head back to Apple for the Apple Case and Cover - I'll be picking them up today! It will be nice to be able to properly stand the iPad up, and to not have to carry it in a padded envelope (which actually works incredibly well!). Yes they are more expensive, but they are really well made, nice feel, thin profile, wear quite well, and the cover is removable which will be important for me when chillaxing with pad and pencil.
