Case for New iPad Pro 12.9 in Leather Folio - Pencil Holder & Stand

In this review of the Case for New iPad Pro 12.9 in Leather Folio, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, protective folio for owners of the 3rd through 6th generation 12.9 in iPad Pro who want a neat combination of everyday protection and a built-in Apple Pencil holder. The reviewer found the fit precise for the listed models, the folio construction reassuringly solid, and the three-angle stand and magnetic sleep/wake reliable for daily use, making it a strong choice for someone who values function and a conservative, professional look.

Key Features

• Exact compatibility: Designed specifically for iPad Pro 12.9 in models from 2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022 which ensures precise cutouts and a snug fit for those models.
• Adjustable angle stand: The folio has three angled slots with upgraded anti-slip material so users can set stable viewing or typing positions.
• Built-in Apple Pencil holder: A dedicated holder secures the 2nd generation Apple Pencil and supports wireless charging while keeping the pen with the tablet.
• Auto wake/sleep: The cover supports smart auto wake and sleep to quickly resume or conserve battery without extra steps.
• Secure closure and pocket: An external elastic band adds magnetic closure and the interior pocket stores cards or notes for everyday convenience.

Who It's For

This case is best for professionals, students, and creatives who own a 12.9 in iPad Pro from 3rd to 6th generation and want a neat folio that protects the screen, holds an Apple Pencil, and doubles as a multi-angle stand. It suits people who prefer a leather folio look with practical storage for a couple of cards or notes.

Those who should look elsewhere include users with other iPad models (this case is not compatible), or anyone seeking heavy-duty rugged protection for fieldwork; this folio favors everyday protection and convenience over military-grade shock resistance.
