The Muse Case, 2018 iPad Pro 11 inch (Old Model), Very Protective But Thin, Convenient Magnetic Stand, Sleep/Wake Cover, ZUGU CASE

I have been using a Zugu Case for a couple of years. I absolutely love the case for the iPad Pro 10.5" and was very excited to see they made one for the new 11" iPad Pro. This one is even better! Protection is great. I have dropped my iPad more than once and it is fine. Good corner protection.The stand is great. I really like the magnets that help hold it in place. This is a key feature for me.The best part of the new case is the Apple Pencil holder. There is a mesh bag on the back, which works well. I was skeptical of the mech sack on the 10.5" version, but I am happy to say that after more than a year of using it, the sack never got a hole in it or stretched too much that it made the pencil loose. As I write this review, I just noticed that the stitching around the back Apple Pencil holder is starting to come undone. I never use it. I have not contacted the manufacturer to let them know. I will probably try that later today.However, on this new 11" case, I NEVER use the holder on the back. That is because there is an Apple Pencil holder on the side that is very sturdy and allows the pencil to charge. My Apple Pencil is now always charged! I take this case in and out of my backpack all day long and the Apple Pencil stays put.In a perfect world, the iPad could rotate so it fit on the stand in the tall position, but I have been able to live without it. Not many iPad cases either rotate or have a tall standing option.The front flap works great, but I wish the case had a version that would support an external keyboard that used the Smart Connector. I would get these for the students at the 1:1 iPad school where I am the Director of Technology.Regardless of my small nit picks, this is the iPad case I have loved the best. I didn't think I would every leave my UAG case, but Zugu won me over. Plus, UAG screwed up the case with the 10.5" model. I din't even bother looking into their 11" because Zugu is better.

I love this case because it protects my screen when I drop it, and I drop it a lot because I'm CLUMSY, and my son too, a 1.5-year-old. The screen has yet to crack. You can position the iPad in various angles due to the ridges on the back, which is great, not like most that you fold like a triangle and don't get many options. All the holes line up to the slots as well. I have no problem using the power and volume buttons with the case or charging it. The cover lines up well to the screen. I like that it has a small pocket in the back to insert the apple pencil aside from having a slot on the side, I feel like that's more secure if the iPad falls.I use it every day at home for schoolwork, sometimes for my son, for planning for work, and at work. I'm a preschool teacher, and it is a go-to for me to play music, watch videos, take pictures, etc, meaning I'm constantly opening the iPad all day long. The only thing I will say is almost after 2 years, the flap is starting to open a bit, the material is coming off, (see picture). Also, I just pull the material to open the cover, I don't use the actual flap, so it is technically my fault. The material is slightly longer than the flap by like a cm, so it's easier for me to just pull the material to open the iPad. The opening to put your finger in and open the flap is pretty thin. I am not spending another $65 just because of this, and it doesn't really bother me because I'm sure with some crazy glue it'll be good as new.I bought another one as a gift, a different model, and I like that the flap has a big space next to it to put your finger in and open the flap, (see picture) compared to the one I have, and it won't affect the actual material on the flap. I like that better. Granted, the blue case doesn't have the slot for the pencil on the side as the purple one does. The blue case has an elastic pouch on the back for the apple pencil, like the purple case, too. The blue case has no issues and looks brand new and I bought it a few months after the purple one. Both cases have lasted about 2 years so far.The outside material of the case holds up pretty well, too. I usually throw it in my bag and go, meaning it's in my bag with my keys, pens, and random jagged objects, and I only have one small scratch on it. Aside from that it still looks brand new. This cover is very durable and protective.Definitely worth the money! Would absolutely recommend it!

This case arrived speedily, thanks to Amazon Prime. The case was beautifully wrapped, securely encased in various protective materials. My iPad Pro 11 fit into the case in a perfect, yet tight and protective manner. Having just received this case, I can notspeak as to it’s longevity. However the quality of the case is high, and I inspected every area of the case before use.I am very impressed by the system offered for use in propping the case up at different angles. I have had every iPad, and of all of the top cases that I used with the older models, this appears to be the most intelligently thought-out and planned case. The case weight, or rather the lack of weight was a pleasant surprise. I find it to be quite light, and from the first moment of use, suffered no impediments to my use of the encased iPad 11”. The magnetic portions of the case were uniquely useful, both in holding the case and iPad open to the correct angle, as well as for providing the security of a tightly closed case.I do not use the pencil, so can offer no commentary upon that aspect of the case.I have now to invest some time in the use of the iPad/Case unit, before I am able to knowledgeably continue this critique. I do find the case to be a bit overpriced, however one must be prepared to pay for the use of well-planned and cleverly designed items.I would recommend this case, purely based upon the serious lack of well-designed cases for the new iPad Pro 11”. This case will be in use on a daily basis, subjected to various forms of travel. I will add additional commentary with the passing of time.
