Apple KB Folio for now. Gonna have to wait and see what others come out with.
Please be sure to report back with how well that Ztotop fits. I got the Smart Folio since I
thought it'd be a month or two before any decent cases showed up.

I bought a leather sleeve for my IPP 10.5 like a month ago (I knew new ipads were coming but I always loved the look of the sleeve). Now I want to buy an 11 inch IPP but I really hope it can still fit in the sleeve, as I plan on buying the new ipad on december I was wondering if someone here would be so kind to try it out for me and tell if it fits.
If youre looking for a keyboard case, I wouldn’t be so hasty. Give it a few minths to see if any new ones pop up
Anyone find something similar to Apple’s silicon case that also allows for the pencil to charge? I love having something grippy to hold on to and corner protection that’s also pretty slim.
In my opinion this is a very close clone. Works very well. Magnetic connection is just as strong as the OEM case.
I recommend it.

No corner protection
Correct. Just like Apple’s. Currently it appears that you can EITHER have edge/corner protection OR charge the pencil. Not both. Yet.
I wanted to ask the same question. I really like the look of the sleeves.
Wondering if my 11" and pencil 2 will fit with the 10.5" sleeve.
Yes, they will. The pencil holder doesn’t seem to be as good a fit anymore but it still works.
I have the smart folio. Since the back and front cover are attached, the hinge is stronger. Though, I don’t think the magnets are strong enough when I fold it into a triangle. A slight tug and it collapses too easily for my liking. It needs a fourth panel or something to overlap one of the sides of the triangle to strengthen the bond. Or maybe the cover is so thin that when one end meets the other there’s not enough surface area for the magnet to make contact and bond.

I bough two of them! Really tired of the gray color from Apple, which I also bought to compare. Works just as well as OEM. Magnetism is just as good.

I got the Smart Folio. Really like it, attachment via magnets is great, easy to take off which I will do ussually when just sitting on the coach or in bed. And when sitting at the table or desk you have the two positions in which it can stand. That and the protection when transporting. Too expensive for what it is, but works perfectly for me.
Smart Keyboard when it finally arrives
I’ve seen no covers either available to keep me going in the meantime.

How large/heavy is the smart folio? I had the cover only on my last iPad Pro because I didn’t want the additional size and weight. Thanks!
Smart folio in white, will likely pick up the keyboard folio at a later date. Also want to get a sleeve that will accommodate the 11” while it’s in the folio to protect the sides whentavelling (I want a snug fit with no zip if anyone spots something that would suit)
It fits perfectly around the iPad, quitte thin, but it does add weight enough for me to take it off when browsing, reading or watching something on the couch. I think I read somewhere it weighs something like 200 grams, which does add about 40% weight to the ipad.
I have the iPad Pro 12.9 inch with the Smart Keyboard Folio. I love it. However, I wish there is a way to get better corner protection. I imagine there will be some sort of DBrand Skin or something that can go around the device. Anyone know of anything?
I also have the 12.9 and ASK. Looking for a sleeve throw it in also to protect the edges when it’s in my backpack.
Let me know if you find a good (minimalist) one.
