SwitchEasy CoverBuddy iPad Pro 11'' Case 2018, Perfect for Official Smart Keyboard and Smart Cover, Ultra-Slim Protective Case with Pencil Holder for iPad Pro 2018 11" 3rd Gen(Grey)

I recently purchased an iPad Pro 11” with the Smart Keyboard. After a day with it, I realized that the edges are not protected. This was an issue for me and I sought out a solution. I quickly realized that since Apple decided to relocate the smart connector to the back of the iPad that this would be easier said than done. After searching, I came across the CoverBuddy and immediately thought that is it! After receiving it, I immediately put it on my new iPad and the fit was great. All the cutouts for speakers and the USB C port line up perfectly. The case is very thin and does not add bulk or weight to the case. The keyboard stays securely connected and works perfectly with the pass through connecters. If you have the Smart Keyboard but want to protect the edges of your iPad, this is the case for you. It also allows you to hold the Apple Pencil 2 and allow you to charge it as intended but with a more secure fit and still easily removable. This is the case to get if you want to use the Apple Smart Keyboard and Pencil but still protect your investment.

So far great! Didn’t like the feel of the apple. Folio keyboard keys always behind iPad when folded back so wanted another option and this case works good. Has magnets on back so apple keyboard folio sticks on back of this case but can easily take off apple keyboard so iPad is light but edges feel better protected. Inside has a light fabric lining.

The media could not be loaded.  I have been using this case for about two weeks. I often use my iPad without the smart keyboard, but I quickly attach it anytime I want to type an email or need a viewing stand. This case should be compatible with any screen protector because it barely overlaps any of the front of the iPad.Design: The design of this case is perfect for my uses. I have the Apple pencil and take lots of hand-written notes. When I am taking notes, I don't want a bulky keyboard attached to my iPad. Other cases that are compatible with the smart keyboard don't allow you to easily attach/remove the keyboard. However, this is possible with SwitchEasy case because of the pass through smart connector. I also really enjoy having a shell around the pencil when it is attached to the keyboard. This makes it much easier to hold the iPad without knocking the pencil off, but it does make it harder to press the volume buttons.Durability: This case is thin, which is great in my opinion. The case is about 90% of the height of the camera bump on the back of the iPad However, this fact also means that this is not the most durable case. The pencil holder portion of this case would probably break under a direct drop. Ideally, I wish that part of the case was a silicone material.Magnets: As you can see in the video, the magnets of this case are not as strong as those in the iPad. This does not make a difference for my use cases, but for some it might.Overall: This case is perfect if you already have the smart keyboard and pencil and want some extra protection when you take the keyboard off.

I was looking for an iPad Pro case that was compatible with the Smart Keyboard and could keep my Apple Pencil 2 safe and this is it. This also comes with a screen film protector, so if you’re planning on getting a screen protector just buy this ipad cover.It is thin but sturdy, snaps on secure, and the cutouts for the buttons and speakers are neat. Magnet at the back is strong and secure, my folio doesn’t fall off as much, and I have not experienced any connectivity issues.Had I known that this came with a film screen protector, I would not have bought a glass screen protector because it added bulk and closing my folio is a little tight. Overall, this product worth having it shipped all the way to the Philippines.

I love the SwithEasy Cover buddy! It protects my computer and keeps my pencil secure. I never would travel or use my pencil before because I was so afraid of losing it...and I lost it often at home. Now it has a great secure place to live and my iPad is protected on the corners.My son-in-law loved mine so much I got him one for his birthday. He was so happy and loves his too!

A corner has already broken off after only months of use, and I have never dropped it. It's just so thin that it cannot provide protection from anything other than scratches. I wouldn't bother with it. At the price, your money would be better spent towards a pen.

Product is great!! Everything I expected to be.Comes with bonus screen protector but not what I expected.I've only combined it with the smart keyboard so I have yet to see what it is also like with the smartfolio.The magnet doesnt seem to hold as strong but I myself handle my product rough.Although the material may appear cheap because of how thin they are, I believe that is the point of minimalism.My 2nd day with it and if it breaks, I will post it later.

Tried it for a while and on the second time plugging the manufacturer's charging cable, the thin plastic broke. Don't trust the sturdiness of the case. The material makes it really light weight.
