Key Features

• Protection materials: Soft-touch PU leather exterior, scratch-free microfiber interior and a soft silicone back combine to protect against shock, abrasion and corner damage.
• Auto sleep/wake: A built-in magnet enables automatic sleep and wake when opening and closing the cover to preserve battery life.
• Slim, lightweight profile: The case keeps the iPad feeling light and portable while adding impact protection and a premium appearance.

Who It's For

This case is ideal for iPad PRO 11 owners who want a slim, stylish cover that still offers practical protection and the convenience of Pencil pairing and charging.
