Great, please post some pics when it arrives
Came in today. Worth the few bucks it cost. I was going to put a band on it anyway to hold my Apple Pencil, but now I'll also use it to keep the case closed.
Got a tip for us?

Thanks! Looks pretty solid for what you get at this price Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, although it is supposed to have transparent back. Will post some pics when I get it.
Am I correct in thinking this picture they posted on the amazon page is quite misleading with regards to the thickness of the case: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/714LFtb-WYL._SL1500_.jpg
It makes the case look thiner than the camera bump, but from your picture it looks significantly thicker?
It is definitely more than flush with the camera bump.

I didn't see one with a transparent back or that's definitely what I would have gotten. After all, what's the point of getting a rose gold iPad if nobody ever sees it?!
I didn't want to bulk mine up so am trying a soft silicone skin on the back and a glass screen protector on the front.. I'll be slipping it into this thing.. Which I've customised, haha. I might buy another case when I don't want to wrap my iPad in my "Cthulhu's handkerchief" design.
Business up front...
Party in the back!
Pro arrives tomorrow, can't wait.
Seriously though this is pretty lovely as a sleeve before I started doodling on it, you can fold it, move the magnetic strap and use it as an iPad stand:

I got this nice sleeve for my 9.7 ipp and I am loving it so far. The main thing I wanted in a sleeve was a space specific for holding the apple pencil and this one looks/feels great! Very professional looking as well.

I just found this and I think it's gorgeous but I'm not seeing anything about it being a smart cover (auto on/off), which has me hesitating. I also wanted something that has a loop or something for the pencil... Hmmmm......

I ended up ordering this one:

It's supposed to be flexible, should match my Space Gray iPad Pro well, and will allow for the Smart Keyboard. Shipping may take a while, but I'll post when I've received it.

Decided that the origami style is the best.

OK I've come to the conclusion that I should've bought the smart keyboard.. It seems that Zagg didn't make theirs with the proper speaker cutouts.. go figure. and Logitech doesn't seem to be announcing the new keyboard anytime soon. Grrr.
Using the Zagg Folio right now for the Pro. There are no speaker cutouts at all. They said that they designed it so the sound funnels out front. It actually doesn't sound bad. I'm likely returning it since I want something that I can remove the keyboard from (they are releasing their Slim Book one that you can remove the iPad from the keyboard by the end of the month), though. Figure a 30-day trial would be fine since I can return it within 30 days to Best Buy.
Still thinking I am going to try to rig either the Belkin QODA to work with the Pro and an Apple silicone case (with some magnets under the case) or try a Brydge with an Apple case and the Air 1 shims.
Thanks for the confirmation. Heard lots of good things about the apple Smart Keyboard so I might make the jump..
Yes! The ASK is probably the main reason I went with the iPad Pro over the Air. Having a keyboard has made the iPad significantly more usable for me. And the keyboard is amazingly light and thin. Expensive, yes. But well engineered. I got it on sale with the ATT 20% off accessory deal (there's a thread about it).
I saw that!! I'm tempted to get both the pencil (even though I'd prob use it for some light notes and adult coloring books) and the keyboard since you can't get it cheaper anywhere else with that deal..
Yes. I was dubious at first until I tried it in the Apple Store. Whilst it's not the same as a regular and full size keyboard it works well for what it is and the fact that it doesn't rely on a Bluetooth connection or it's own power source ( which inevitable has to be charged all be it probably not that often ) and draws power directly from the iPad is great. That and it's lighter and less bulky then other normal keyboards or keyboard cases.
I don't really need back lighting so that's not an issue. Also as I found out recently there are a number of keyboard short cuts which help a great deal. It is expensive but then most first party official accessories especially Apple ones are pretty pricey usually. I have a Logitech keyboard cover for my iPad Air 2 and it's far heavier and bulkier not to mention relies on Bluetooth plus it's own power source.
Hi, is that the Stone color back? Do you mind posting some more pictures of it while attached to the keyboard?
Just received the Sena and I am returning it. The camera is covered by the rotating portion of the case and you will have to rotate it an inch in order to have the camera unobstructed.

It's not Stone (which I also considered) - it's Lilac:
I'm really pleased with all of the color options Apple provides for the cases.
I got the mint case and I thought the color looked exactly like it did online. I have no complaints.

The royal blue case on the Apple website viewed on my Mac doesn't look at all like the royal blue in your photo. I wonder if it has to do with the monitor or computer you are using?

That looks like a nice stand - does it have a floor length version? Could you please provide a link? I'm looking for something like that to use while working on knitting patterns.
