But isn't it like really heavy and bulky? I don't know so I'm asking.Young Turk-
Here's an alternative to what Apple is offering.
Premium Leather iPad Pro 9.7 Folio
By the time you get done paying for both the Apple smart cover and the back cover, the cost is similar to the case above yet the case above is far superior in almost every way:
Integrated pencil pocket that provides real protection? Check!
Padded and provides real protection for the iPad? Check!
Auto on/off with magnetic closure? Check!
Still super thin at under 20mm? Check!
Folds into movie and typing modes? Check!
Soundboard 4X sound enhancement feature? Check!
The longer you own it the better looking it gets? Check!
If you're looking for an alternative, it's worth a look.

I picked up the smart cover/smart case combo at the Apple store earlier and price aside, its definitely the best case solution for me. Fit is perfect and the magnets are strong as hell. The leather case for the Air 2 was on it for a year and a half and I loved it but the fit for the Pro is even better. UAG case is gonna be going back in a few days.
I returned the Modal yesterday, since my $6 Moko case arrived. Fits fine and smart function works. Unlike the Modal and Targus cases that do not have smart function. The Modal is worse, since the cover flops around unsecured. I hope Best Buy gets a lot of returns so vendors are pushed to stop selling repurposed Air inventory.Using a Modal reversible case from best buy until my Dodocase arrives..4 weeks
Why would you get a tablet with one of the most durable screens, and the best stylus and from a company who have made it a point to remove as many layers as possible and then slap a glass screen protector on creating ten times the reflection - I don't get it. I understood before when there was limited optical - hell I had them on my iPads up to and including the first air. But as of the air 2 and particularly with the pro - and given how absolutely amazingly strong the glass is resisting scratches on the iPad - and given you can buy an eight dollar sleeve... I just don't get why you would, along with many others - pay a ton of money to effectively remove one of the biggest advantages of the pro 9.7 which is anti reflective.I got the UAG smart cover case, here is my unboxing
Smart Cover works fantastically with a rear skin, without the rear case.. I have the Smart Keyboard and the rear case and at least for sure the rear case is going back.. Too thick, and RIDICULOUSLY priced,I ignored the price label of the Apple case and smart cover (much to my girlfriend's dismay...) and went for both. Together they are great, although do add a fair bit to the weight. I think I'd get a bit annoyed if I had gone for just one as they have been very clearly designed to work together and so look a bit odd without the other part. I did an unboxing of both in midnight blue for my gold iPad if anyone wants to see the combo.
see $20 more you can use it naked for two years and have it replaced at the end./I see. I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and just keep the case and cover. That red looks awesome, but again....$130.00. Holy crap. Treated myself.
Hi, I am totally fine with your criticism. In fact, I welcome any constructive criticism.Why would you get a tablet with one of the most durable screens, and the best stylus and from a company who have made it a point to remove as many layers as possible and then slap a glass screen protector on creating ten times the reflection - I don't get it. I understood before when there was limited optical - hell I had them on my iPads up to and including the first air.

The screens, I mean just around your house - you're not going to scratch them.. If you want to put it in a drawer - just keep a microfiber in that drawer.. If you travel - why not just use a sleeve?
I'm not trying to single you out but watching the video and seeing how absolutely awful that reflection was - it just baffles me that people continue to use these things past the original air// if you really want protection, you'd degrade the image less with one of the older style crystal clear protectors that wet installs..
ANyway- like I said I'm not trying to single you out - but doesn't the reflectiveness just drive you mental? My glass protector lasted on the air 2 about five minutes before I ripped it off.. It was awful - and it was one of the better brands.

Looks like a beautifully crafted case that would have a great feel in the hands. However, for me the deal breaker is the bevels around the screen. That would be a deal breaker for me. I much prefer the clip on edges or corners to hold the iPad.Young Turk-

Honestly the prices of apples cases are more than AppleCare plus and an incident fee - what's the point.. Heavier - and more expensive.
I like to use devices caseless, but I was thinking about a sleeve for transporting or storing.
Anyone else go that route?
This looks appealing to me:

Or I guess one with a pocket for the pencil or earbuds:

I agree with ya. I've been looking for a sleeve that can hold my soon to be delivered iPad with the keyboard cover. Found this one: https://www.sfbags.com/collections/ipad-cases/products/ipad-sleevecase but Im not a fan of the velcro closure. Might just bite the bullet though and get anyway. Unless I find something else!
Just got the SF Bags iPad SleeveCase yesterday. $59 dollars. It's nice and I think I'm going to keep it. I really like the look of it. Although, I do have a Pack & Smooch sleeve that just shipped to me in dark grey and that one looks a little nicer in my opinion. Here's some pics of the SF Bags sleeve if anyone is interested. My only complaint on this sleeve is the velcro...wish it had been a magnet closure instead.
Nice! I see there is a pencil in there in one shot. Does it seem secure? I do like the dedicated holder in the Pack & Smooch one though.
For some dumb reason Im hunting for a portrait orientation sleeve. I don't even know why I want it that way!
I got the apple pink silicone case(Back) plus the apple keyboard case, the only issue I see is that with the keyboard case, sometimes it gets stuck to the ipad, and its hard to open, and I notice with the volume control on the site sometimes its difficult to press the button to make it higher or lower you have to press really hard on the case
Are you happy with it overall? I was tempted to get one with my keyboard cover but thought it might add too much bulk.
Please share some photos.I got the MoKo frosted transparent back cover for my iPad Pro which I use along with the Apple Smart Keyboard. The combination works well and the charcoal grey Smart Cover goes well with my Rose Gold iPad. I'm now looking for a sleeve and have seen a few interesting ones on Etsy as well as the ones on SF Bags. I recently got the Rickshaw Bags iPad Messenger bag in custom colours and might get a matching iPad sleeve from them. I need to measure the dimensions of my iPad with the back case and Smart Keyboard and see if they can make one that fits.
