Trying the 12.9 1st gen it is a little heavy compared to current iPad air 2, obviously because of size of the beast!

On my iPad air 2 I have a shield/skin on back and sides and an Apple smart cover on front. Seems best solution for me and for sofa surfing as well which is main use.

So what do others use for the iPad pro 12.9 for sofa surfing? Wouldn't get the smart keyboard as won't use and can imagine it'll greatly increase the weight.

Didn't realise the 12.9 1st vs 2nd is nearly 40g difference, is it a telling difference for anyone that's got/tries/tested both together?

Should I go again with a shield/skin for back and smart cover on front?

If I was to take out and about think I would get a sleeve/pouch to protect, but what do people do for sofa surfing.

Thanks
