The best Apple iPad Pro cases you can buy

If you’re an Apple fan hunting for the best tablet available, the obvious choice is the iPad Pro, available in 11- and 12.9-inch versions. Being an Apple product, however, it’s pretty expensive, and being a thin slab of aluminum and glass, it’s also vulnerable to threats like cracks and bending. To keep it safe, you’ll want one of the best iPad Pro cases on the market.

The best cases for the iPad Pro

For the purposes of this list, we’re looking at purely protective cases, not anything with a keyboard or trackpad built in. For that there are relatively few high-quality options we’d recommend, the top two being the Logitech Combo Touch and of course Apple’s (very expensive) Magic Keyboard. Whatever case you pick, be sure you get one that matches your iPad’s size, whether 11 or 12.9 inches.

UAG Metropolis

Urban Armor Gear is known for its rugged, heavy-duty cases. The Metropolis features military-grade impact protection, Apple Pencil storage (including charging compatibility), oversized buttons, and easy-to-access port cutouts. While it commands a premium, the build quality and features warrant the price tag.

Spigen Tough Armor Pro

Spigen is omnipresent in the case industry, and they exhibit their expertise with the Spigen Tough Armor Pro. The case is equipped with shock-absorbent features, a kickstand, and a dedicated charging space for the Apple Pencil.

Spigen Rugged Armor Pro

The Spigen Rugged Armor Pro distinguishes itself with an unusual aesthetic, a soft texture, and the company’s Air Cushion Technology, embedded in high-risk areas such as corners. The case also has a sleek design that doesn’t add bulk.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid Pro

The Ultra Hybrid Pro offers ample protection with a sturdy folio-style cover and a robust body made from multiple materials. Spigen’s Air Cushion Technology disperses impact from drops, and all buttons and ports are easily accessible.

Spigen Urban Fit

The Urban Fit is modeled after Apple’s own Smart Folio, but provides unique features such as vegan faux leather, a Pencil holder, and soft fabric that enhances grip. It’s worth considering if you want something more understated that the rugged cases on this list.

Spigen Liquid Air Folio

Like the Urban Fit, the Liquid Air Folio is a slim and lightweight case. This one offers a clear view of the back of your iPad Pro while still providing a magnetic folio cover with auto wake/sleep functionality.

Speck Balance Folio

For those who appreciate hygiene alongside a neat, professional look, the Balance Folio boasts Microban technology to deter the spread of germs. It’s available in various colors, and offers 4 feet of drop protection, as well as a latch to ensure the case stays closed.

Poetic Revolution

The Poetic Revolution is a heavy-duty case that covers the entire tablet, including a screen protector frame to guard against scratches and scuffs. It also features port covers, preventing dust and debris from getting trapped.

Poetic TurtleSkin

Its look isn’t for everyone, but the Poetic TurtleSkin offers a good grip, and it’s particularly suitable in a home with kids thanks to silicone composition and curved edges. It’s thick, providing ample cushioning in case of drops.

Zugu Case

The Zugu Case for the iPad Pro is unusual for its 2-year “no questions asked” warranty. The company backs this with solid construction, specifically a blend of microfiber, leather, and polycarbonate materials. It’s offers drop protection up to 5 feet, as well as a magnetic stand with eight different angles.
