I am not exactly comfortable creating such a thread but I am running out of ideas here!

I am currently using a simple brandless third party folio cover that does the magnetic cover thingy and acts as a stand too just to tide over until I can find a good cover, but am unsure what I should go for. Here's my requirements:

1. Covers my screen: This should mean need to replace my screen protector less I hope!

2. Front part of the cover should be removable: What I am using right now does not allow removing it, which makes it tough to use on my lap or on table. This also dirties the underside of the front part, which will then transfer the dirt onto the screen, making it redundant

3. Allows my screen protector: I prefer matte screen protector, hence the need for this

4. Stores and protects Apple Pencil well: Currently it is in another part of my bag, I strongly prefer the Pencil to be together with the iPad at all times and well protected too. I noticed how some covers seem to not protect the nib of the Pencil well

5. Magnetic Cover friendly / Covers the side with magnetic port: I noticed that some covers do not protect this side well, which I do not like as it becomes a weak spot

The closest I have seen so far is the Otterbox Defender but I will need to use its reflective screen protector, which is a big minus point for me. Sure, there are ways to remove that I heard but I am quite uncomfortable with this as the rationale of the screen protector is that it acts as part of the advertised protection too

Anyone here else have any recommendation for me? Thanks!
