This is the first case for an iPad I've ever bought, when watching reviews on the m4 13inch iPad pro there was alot of talk about how thin it is which made me worry since it is not cheap and I'm a bit clumsy, I worried about dropping it. So reasonably I went searching for a solution and that search winded me up here with this product.
I liked that there were simple instructions included for installation, so even a silly lad like me who's never installed a case can figure it out through fiddling around. It is firm when it's all in place. If you hold it by the strap on the back (which is adjustable) it does not come apart even after a couple experimental shakes upside down. It also didn't have any issues with the screen protector I put on it beforehand.
Additionally with the strap you can pull it out and behind it there's a stand which is also quite steady on a flat surface and doesn't wobble around like crazy when I draw on it. Yay 💜
The extra weight makes me especially happy, the iPad on its own is astonishingly light like your holding a mere children's toy instead of a 2-3k device, the case adds both more bulk and weight and basically just makes it feel more secure and like your holding something of worth, as someone who used a more bulky iPad version before it is a win for me. The buttons also all work as intended.
I chose the light blue & black case, and I'm glad I did. The colour is very nice to look at, there are other colors too. I kinda wish apple pencils were sold in black as well so it could match with the case!
Lastly, since I mentioned apple pencils- the pen holder is also pretty decent. There is a hole on the back where you can push the pen out with your finger. However you may need to push the pencil in and out a couple times in different angles to get it to charge but it's not too bad.
All in all I'm quite happy with what I got, I never ended up attaching the shoulder strap but that's optional anyway. I haven't gotten a chance to test how the iPad and case will deal with a fall, but I guess I'll find that out eventually when I inevitably drop it one day(hopefully never, but with my record of dropping things I doubt it, lol!) but I'm sure she'll be right.
