Best Cases for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro!

[phreddyl]

I knew it! I ordered the Apple Smart Keyboard last night via the Apple Store app with a shipping date of 1- 2 weeks. Less than 24 hours later, I searched the nearest Apple Store for it like I've done each day, and lo and behold, it had some available for purchase in-store. I quickly made the purchase via the app and then cancelled my previous order. I'm very happy with my purchase and now I'm all set. I have the 9.7" iPad Pro Cellular + Wi-Fi (Rose Gold), the Pencil as well as the Apple Smart Keyboard. I'm a happy camper now...

Nice! Good for you

Hey wait... I thought you weren't getting the pencil

I wasn't, but I went ahead and purchased it anyway. It's not worth the price for my usage, to be honest, but I'll keep it. I mean, I do actually use it to scroll, select, sign, etcetera, but I could have done that with my Adonit Jot Pro, but since I have it, I might as well use it, right?

I hear ya. I was messing with ya. I love my pencil. It's so pretty.

Yeah, I know. I was at a doctor's office getting a physical earlier, and now I'm stuffing my face with food. I'm starving...(laughing)

This is the one I ordered.

I purchased the smart keyboard and rear silicone case. I prefer official Apple products.

Very cool. Looks sharp.

I have the Smart Keyboard for the 12.9, but don't like it well enough to get one for the 9.7. Too floppy. Too origami.
Anyone know of a great keyboard case WITH BACKLIT KEYS that's come out? Don't want cheap. Want rigid, well-balanced, function keys, and backlighting.

I'm personally so glad that I took the plunge and got the Smart Keyboard Cover, it is a cracker.

Right now my iPad Pro 9.7" is still only protected by that, and I'm actually thinking about keeping it that way, especially as I got Apple Care+ for the first time.

Am I crazy?

I don't think you are, and like you, I only have the Smart Keyboard cover for my 9.7" iPad Pro, and I know I'm not getting anything else for it........Its not a secret that I don't like putting cases on my devices. I don't have one of my iPhone and I don't have one on my Watch.

Some other 9.7-inch iPad Pro case w keyboard options I've found... can't vouch for quality here, but worth a look if you're not satisfied with the Apple case!

• Morjava Bluetooth Keyboard Case
• SHINYMOD Folio Case
• ZAGG Folio Case

FWIW - met with the folks at ZAGG at CES. Good people.

Hobdell, nice setup!

Do you mind posting a picture of the front of your device with the keyboard open?

Thanks

Pad & Quill has a very nice leather case that I've preordered that is compatible with Apple's Smart Keyboard. It should arrive in June.

Do you know if the new Zagg keyboards have the proper cutouts?

Anyone have the Griffin Survivor Slim yet?

 

[Anthony Colletti]

I went with the apple silicone front and rear cover as well. They are on the expensive side, however, the silicone is not cheap or flimsy by any standard and they are well crafted.

For those looking at options from Griffin, plenty of options:
