Review: Good quality case - Good quality, super easy to attach, props up for easy viewing. Looks classy! Review: Very expensive but nice, - I have had other iPads and for those I have bought off brands with protection but that usually means adding bulk. When I got my new iPad pro 12.9 I was anxious to try an official apple case. It was hard because it is expensive but I really do like it. It is true that there is no protection around the edges but that's the very thing I enjoy about it. It gives you the feeling of not having a case. I like the way your iPad just magnetically attaches to the back of the case and can easily be removed. It feels like a nice heavy duty material (compared to some off-brands). I think it stands up well when folded the correct way. If your looking for something with drop protection then you may want to check out some other cases but if you're looking for something to protect the front and back but want the 'no case' experience. This is a great choice. As a side note, when you fold the cover back it covers the camera but the part of the cover that covers the camera can easily be folded back (and magnetically holds there) to uncover it and take your picture. Though it's expensive, it feels like quality and I am really enjoying the experience. ## Features - The Smart Folio for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro offers protection for both the front and back.
