For my iPad Mini 5 I’m using the leather Vintage folio, except mine is dark blue instead of brown. Absolutely love it.

For my 12.9” iPad Pro I)m using a Brydge+ keyboard/trackpad folio. I really like this. A drawback for some would be the added weight. The keyboard section is essentially a big battery. When closed, it almost looks like 2 I.pP’s stacked up.
Around the house and office the extra weight doesn’t bother me. When taking it out and about I put it in an ALPAKA over the shoulder case.

That Vintage folio is gorgeous. ???

It’s probably still ok for media playback.

Yeah, I was thinking that. My Mini 4, which is on iOS 15, doesn’t perform the best when web-browsing due to the low spec A8. The Mini 2, which is stuck on iOS 12, must therefore be horrendous. I am glad that it can still stream videos as I plan on using Mini 4 until the end of 2025 which will make it a full decade old. I don’t expect any updates past iOS 15 but I hope it’ll still be capable of media playback.

I use the 12.9” M1 iPad Pro which is absolutely overkill for me but the screen is so nice and it’s my primary computing device so I splurged. Thankfully I got the iPad with Apple care and the magic keyboard for about $500 (Canadian) once I traded in my old 11” iPad Pro from 2018.

iPad Pro 12.9” (5th gen) - 2TB Cellular in Space Grey
It has a BodyGuardz clear skin on the rear and sides, a JETech glass screen protector and a Apple Smart Cover in Deep Navy.
I have the Apple Magic Keyboard in Black, it’s the previous model for the 3rd/4th gen as I had purchased it for my previous 3rd gen. It doesn’t close fully with the glass screen protector and rear skin, although I usually use it like a keyboard dock at home.

iPad mini 6th gen - 256GB Cellular in Pink.
BodyGuards clear skin, JETech glass screen protector and Apple Smart Folio in Dark Cherry.

Exact same here, 2018 11" IPP with smart folio kb. Still works great as well.

Ditto, but with smart folio. I have the smart folio kb, but I don't use it much as for my use case I don't have a need for a keyboard and I just love the slim profile of the smart folio.

Here's to hoping to get 3-4 years use out of the 2018 11" Pro

2021 IPad Pro with thin clear TPU case and glass protector for the cameras.

The case is awesome, doesn’t add bulk and costed $18. I can’t stand bulky cases, defeats the purpose of having such a light device.

iPad Pro 11 2021, ceaseless. I like all my devices ceaseless since going ceaseless with the iPhone a while ago.

I hadn’t had an iPad since gen 1, so the 2121 11 Pro feels incredible without a case. love the thin, premium feel of it and the way it can be held almost like a magazine. If I have to travel with it I’ll probably get a nice leather sleeve, but never a case.

I couldn’t go caseless with an iPad or an iPhone, it would cost me too much money lol.
