tomtoc Smart Folio Vertical Case for 12.9-inch iPad Pro - 4 Modes

In this review of the tomtoc Smart Folio Vertical Case for the 12.9-in iPad Pro, the bottom line is simple: this is a versatile folio for users who want a slim, magnetic case that adapts to multiple tasks while protecting the back and Apple Pencil 2. The reviewer found the strongest reason to buy is its detachable, super magnetic design that switches cleanly between four useful orientations, making it easy to read, sketch, type, or present without bulk. Build quality and the integrated Pencil flap also make it practical for daily use.

Key Features

• 4 Use Modes: The folio converts between vertical portrait, landscape, sketch and magnetic back panel modes so the iPad adapts to reading, video calls, drawing or general use.
• Magnetic Back Panel: The ultra-thin magnetic backplate can be used on its own to keep the device protected while remaining light and easy to carry.
• 69o Vertical Mode: A special vertical angle designed for comfortable document reading or face time interactions without holding the device.
• Apple Pencil 2 Support: The case supports magnetic attachment and wireless charging for Apple Pencil 2 and includes a removable magnetic flap to securely store the Pencil when not in use.
• Slim Premium Finish: Premium PU leather and a silky touch provide a comfortable grip and a minimalist look while helping to avoid back scratches and flattening the camera bump.

Who It's For

The tomtoc Smart Folio is well suited for professionals, students and creatives who use a 12.9-in iPad Pro and value a low-profile case that folds into multiple practical angles for reading, sketching and video calls. It is particularly useful for those who want convenient Apple Pencil 2 storage and wireless charging while keeping the iPad protected from scratches.

It is less appropriate for users who need heavy-duty drop protection or a rugged, shockproof shell; those buyers should look for thicker protective cases with reinforced corners and harder impact absorption.
