Review: Excellent Protection and Design - The SwitchEasy CoverBuddy for iPad is a very well-designed case that provides solid protection while maintaining a slim profile. It fits securely and works well with accessories, making it very practical for everyday use. Overall, it’s a premium-feeling and reliable iPad accessory that performs very well. Review: Most aftermarket USB-C cables will not fit - 2022 REVIEW: Overall the product does what it says it does. Unfortunately, the only USB-C cable that will fit and charge the iPad while this product is attached is the Apple OEM cable. Most other brand USB-Cables will not fit in the hole for the charging port and will be blocked from being fully inserted, thereby preventing charging or data transfer. I used a drill to widen the hole because I don't like to use my Apple OEM cables while I travel. If you've ever used an Apple OEM cable in your car or loaned it to a "friend" for five minutes, you now how the cables have a tendency of wandering off. I continue to use mine, but I figured I should mention this slight flaw so that others don't get caught off guard. Otherwise, it's very easy to use. It keeps the pen more secure than the magnet alone and works well with the keyboard and other magsafe covers. 2024 UPDATE: I fixed the cable issue by cutting out a bit around the USB-C port. Now all cables work fine. However I'm on my second one because they are flimsy and break easily. I won't be buying a third one because I'm lost my pencil twice. Thankfully, I found it each time, but I'm done. I changed my rating from 3 stars to 1 star. Save your money. PHOTOS: 1 & 2 w/ Apple Magic Keyboard and Cover. 3 & 4 w/ magsafe mount. Not the pencil bay is broken. ## Features - COMPATIBILITY: Only compatible with 2025 iPad Pro 11" (M5) and 2024 iPad Pro 11" (M4) — iPad Pro 11-inch (M5/M4, 6th/5th generation) models.
