I’m very picky about what I put on my iOS devices. I like thin, clear, “crystal” cases so that I can still see and enjoy the original design of the devices while protecting them from scratches and minor bumps. As it stands, there aren’t many accessories out for the 10.5. Even less of them meet my requirements. Ended up with a $10 TPU soft case and a $13 screen protector. Both from Amazon. Zagg isn’t shipping the glass+ for another week+ and Power Support doesn’t even have a listing for a 10.5 air jacket.

I said all of that to say I’m VERY pleased with these purchases. For $23 worth of unknown manufacturer products, my iPad looks exactly how I wanted it to. For the minimalist people out there, we have hope lol

TPU has a cut out to access the smart port, but doesn’t have a cut out for the actual ASK to attach. Thinking of returning the ASK anyway and keep the sleeve.

It does not. Which is why I was slightly confused as to why they made a cut out for the smart connector. It’s basically useless.

Yeah i noticed you mentioned that in your post and my thought was "why did they bother?"

The case situation for the iPad 10.5 really sucks. From Apple not having the standard silicone case to seemingly no 3rd party getting the dimensions to make cases in advance.

When I got my 10.5 Pro I told myself I was gonna just get a Smart Cover and leave the back nude...but doing it just scares the hell out of me. I don't want it to get messed up.
