What case are you getting for 9.7" Pro?

I've been using the moko case for a week and it fits perfectly. What was wrong with yours?

The fitment was bad, the speaker cutouts were nowhere near the speakers, and there was an issue with the magnet in the cover. I got mine several days before the Pro was released. Moko acknowledged that the first batch of cases were defective, and they sent out free replacements. I received mine yesterday and it's definitely better than the first one I got.
 
why did apple have to stop making the apple smart COVER that was flush with the unit?
 
I am looking for the thinnest(0.3mm) and lightest clear plastic case that has the cut-out on the side of the smart connector to allow connection of the Smart Keyboard. Anyone using a case like this mind sharing some photos of it here?

The photo for that item is for the Air 2, as the flash is different than the Pro. Did you order yours from here? I'm just looking for a skin that will protect the back of my Pro while the Smart Keyboard is attached and this may do the trick if the holes line up correctly.

I saw that too but after seeing tons of positive feedback for that case on the sellers Ebay account i took the chance and it turned out perfect.

I really need TwelveSouth to make the BookBook for the Pro 9.7. It says "coming soon" on their website. I could use the one from my Air 1, but it covers up almost all of the speakers, completely defeating the purpose on why I bought the pro. Right now I'm just dropping it in a Fossil leather sleeve my ex-wife bought me a couple years ago.

Will do!

Meanwhile, I'm also enjoying the tstand. Not a case, but really nice with the small Pro. image.jpegimage.jpeg
 
I went with the apple silicone case and Smart Keyboard. Pricey but very happy with the fit. I like the variety of colors too. I went with lilac because it goes well with the gray keyboard.

Finally made my decision, when I bought the iPad pro 9.7 I was sure that I would be using the smart keyboard and the back silicone cover for the 9.7. but till then I needed a case to protect the ipad till the keyboard was available. I happened across the LAUT Profolio case for the Air 2 which was available in a local store and I loved the case cover of a herringbone fabric plus leather look spine. The new Pro fit in perfectly but of course it doesn't have the holes for the top speakers or correct opening for the camera but I loved the different viewing angles it has. Then this week I was able to buy the smart keyboard from Best Buy so off came the LAUT case and on with the keyboard and back case.... HATED IT. Didn't like the way the keyboard folded away and the fact that it was drawing power all the time from the iPad. I had purchased a Microsoft fold-able keyboard for use with the ipad mini 4 which I carry with me when I am out and about, so I thought hey why not try it with the pro and the LAUT case... VOILA!!!! perfect I don't use the keyboard that often so being able to just tuck it away nearby was a great solution. I emailed LAUT and asked if they were going to make the same folio I have and love for the Pro 9.7 and they said yes it should be out by the end of the month...

Here are some photos of my iPad Pro case and the microsoft keyboard

So the zagg folio for the 9.7 is out tomorrow but based on the pics on their site it doesn't look like it has the speaker cutout or the camera.. I will prob wait to read reviews first before I get it.
 
Anyone found a Smart Cover that is like the old Apple ones?
So flush with the side of the iPad and a fluffy inside (that lays on the screen)? And a magnet that works?

Does Apple have patents on this design or something? Otherwise, it's mind blowing to me that the major accessory manufacturers don't make these as standard for every iPad release! They could make so much money charging just half of what Apple does.

On the Ebay add it's called silicon skin but it's a hard plastic case. If you're in the USA look for this seller on eBay
