Looks like the Otterbox shell case coming out later this month not the clear folio) is going to have a trapdoor on the side to open for charging the pencil. Also says it will have a place in the stand itself to safely store the pencil as well. I will be getting that or the Supcase Beetle Pro for sure then.

Just need to find a sleeve big enough that can go over the IPP while it's in the case too.
 
Question for all. I’m about to drop some dough on the Apple Keyboard Folio. It’s expensive but I usually like sticking with Apple brands. Is it a pretty universal opinion that this is the Best Buy? Or are there any other keyboards that blow it away for half the cost?

Personally, I think it’s the best one available. I’ve used third party keyboards with previous iPads, and this one is superior. The only other keyboard I would consider is the Magic keyboard.

Just my opinion.

There aren’t any others out yet that use the smart connector. Eventually, Logitech will probably come up with something.
 
Just got the UAG case the new version not the Best Buy one. It’s nice and I had a coupon code, I’m happy.

It's way better than the MBP keyboard, I can tell you that!! This thing sucks! Just no backlighting, which I'm down about. But love it anyways!
 
I was actually referring to something that protects edges while I am using it with the keyboard case.
You said a sleeve that protects while you use it? Those ideals are not compatible. It all preference but I like the things offered by Pad & Quill. They offer sleeves such as https://www.padandquill.com/valet-slim-leather-sleeve-for-ipad-pro.html I ordered the Case which can be used with a keyboard with some breaking in. It is leather. https://www.padandquill.com/oxford-ipad-pro-3rd-gen.html You need to decide what you really want. I will add a
Luvvitt iPad Pro 12.9 Case CLARITY Wireless Compatible Flexible TPU Cover Clear for drop protection. Check for your type of keypad compatibility. Happy hunting.
 
Just FYI the UAG Metropolis case is not compatible with glass screen protectors because it encroaches too much on the screen - it popped all 4 corners of my screen protector when I put it on, and there is no way to get it above the glass. The other thing I didn't like about the UAG case is it has zero structure, so it offers no bend resistance. I think it would take a drop though.

Looks like the Zugu case attaches only on the edges like all the cheap amazon cases, so I am going to try that next. Not available anywhere in Canada yet though.

Are you using the CLARITY cover with the P&Q oxford iPad cover? If so, how do it fit? I like P&Q products but I’m not a fan of the 3m tape. I like to remove my iPad a lot.

I’m so glad you mentioned the P&Q sleeve; it looks great on the website, but I was hoping for a second opinion before I pulled the trigger. (I tried the Oxford case and eventually sent it back; I prefer to be able to easily go back and forth between the KSF and non-keyboard case, and the adhesive makes that difficult. I don’t want to order something again only to send it back.

Anyway, does it look as great in person as on the website? How thin is it? Ideally, I’d like a nice case that I could put inside my Cozmo bag and go on, but I’m not sure if this would work. (If I could attach a shoulder strap, I probably wouldn’t worry about it.). https://www.sfbags.com/collections/laptop-bags/products/cozmo-2-laptop-bag

I’d appreciate any help you can provide!

I've been waiting for P&Q to release a Contega Linen for the new IPP models. That's what I've got for my 9.7 IPP and I love it.
