PITAKA iPad Pro 11 in Case (2022/2021) - Slim MagEZ Case 2

In this review the PITAKA MagEZ Case 2 for the 11 in iPad Pro 2022/2021 stands out as a purpose-built companion for users who rely on the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil 2. The biggest reason to buy is its seamless magnetic integration: built-in magnets enable pass-through charging with the Magic Keyboard and allow the Apple Pencil 2 to attach and charge, making this a clean, low-bulk setup for tablet-first workflows. It is not a heavy-duty bumper, but it excels where thinness, fit and keyboard compatibility matter most.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed specifically for the 2022 and 2021 iPad Pro 11 in models, it ensures a snug, model-specific fit that aligns with accessory magnets and ports.
• Magic Keyboard and Pencil ready: Built-in magnets allow seamless magnetic attachment and pass-through charging with the Apple Magic Keyboard and let Apple Pencil 2 attach and charge on the side.
• Three-sided protection: The three-sided design protects the back and edges from daily wear while keeping the front accessible and compatible with keyboard closures.
• Premium aramid fiber texture: Composite fiberglass construction gives a soft but durable finish with a subtle carbon fiber look and a raised camera ring to protect lenses.
• Ultra-thin profile: At roughly 0.06 in (1.5 mm) thickness, it preserves the iPad Pro slim silhouette and is easy to carry when used alone or with the Magic Keyboard.
• Accessory ecosystem: Works seamlessly with PITAKA MagEZ Stand and MagEZ Folio 2 for flexible viewing and protection options.

Who It's For

This case is best for iPad Pro owners who use the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil 2 and want a low-profile, magnetically integrated solution that does not add bulk. Creatives, students and professionals who move between tablet-only and keyboard setups will appreciate the precise fit and pass-through charging.

It is not ideal for users who need rugged drop protection or full-edge coverage; if heavy impact protection or full front-edge bumpers are required, a thicker protective case or folio designed for impact resistance would be a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent magnetic compatibility with the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil 2 for seamless attachment and charging.

Cons

Our Verdict

The PITAKA MagEZ Case 2 is a smart pick for users who prioritize a slim profile and flawless magnetic compatibility with the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil 2. It is good value for those who need a clean, carrier-friendly case that integrates with PITAKA stands and folios, but anyone seeking heavy-duty drop protection should choose a different style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this case fit the newest 2024 11 in iPad Pro?
No. This case is only compatible with the 2022 and 2021 11 in iPad Pro models and is not compatible with the 2024 11 in iPad Pro (m4).

Can I use a tempered glass screen protector with the Magic Keyboard?
PITAKA notes that a tempered glass protector may prevent the Magic Keyboard from closing seamlessly, so a thinner protector or none is recommended for best closure.

Does the case protect the camera lenses?
The case includes a raised ring around the camera to protect lenses from scratches, though it is not a heavy-duty camera cover.
