Hello all.
I've just gotten my first iPad, the iPad Pro 12.9 6th Gen. I got the Magic Keyboard to go along with it.
I have been looking at the Magic Keyboard compatible cases, as I would like something to give me a bit more grip, and some protection for when I don't want to use the Keyboard.
So far I have run across two cases, but have not seen many others. The two I've seen are the Pitaka MagEZ cases, and the Moft Snapcase. I love the look of the Pitaka, especially since I have a carbon fiber theme going with my Apple stuff, but it lacks the pencil retention of the Moft case.
Are there any others out there that are recommended, or is it basically limited at these two?
I'm also looking at getting a Paperlike screen protector. Is it ACTUALLY better than the cheaper alternatives?
Thanks!
Hey there everyone. I just got the iPad Pro 12.9 inch with Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard as a birthday present. I love them. However, I want to still feel like my iPad is protected if I take it off of the magic keyboard. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a protective case that can hold the pencil and iPad that is compatible with the Magic Keyboard? Ideally, I would love a case that could go around the iPad and keyboard. However, I am fine with one I can use when my iPad is detached from the keyboard.

I love the magic keyboard but it is extremely limited and only made for desktop style typing. And once you take the iPad off, it's just a slab of glass that's extremely awkward to handle for drawing or writing with apple pencil.
The ideal would be a case like the smart folio or the Logitech combo case that's compatible with the magic keyboard, so that I can get a little bit of lift when using it and be able to grip it more easily. But I haven't been able to find anything like that. I'm hoping maybe there IS something out there that's flown under the radar.
Why don't I just use the Logitech case? I HATE the amount of space it takes up when typing and it really sucks for holding in your lap. I just like the case with the stand, but not the keyboard form factor at all.
I really love the magic keyboard but it leaves my shiny new iPad a bit unprotected, I have skimmed amazon for a while and haven't found a case that can stay on the iPad and fit in the magic keyboard (allowing it to be open and closed without removing it) does anyone have any?
Clarification: I mean something like this but for the 2024 M4 13 inch iPad Pro
I know this is early. But please keep updating here when someone finds any case which is compaitible with the new IPad pro M4 and the magic keyboard.
Hi everyone. My girlfriend recently got a 12.9” iPad Pro along with the magic keyboard, but she is looking for a case that she can use without the magic keyboard that can also stay on the ipad while it is in the magic keyboard. I have found one such case made by spigen, but I am looking for any other reccomendations.
Thanks
I’m already aware of the pitaka case and the switcheasy cover buddy, but I have yet to find any other case options that work with the magic keyboard. It’s just super convenient to have slim and lightweight protection from scratches when I detach the iPad from the keyboard case. Possibly just considering a skin too. Thanks for the suggestions!
Recently bought and 13” m4 iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard and I was looking into I could use whenever I’m not using the keyboard (I don’t like using the iPad bare when it’s off the keyboard) so I was looking into cases that aren’t much of a hassle to transfer. I usually use my iPad w/ MKB on the desk when I’m typing/studying but I want to have a case I can use when I am not doing those.
Looked into ESR Shift, Spigen, Zugu, etc but while they are good cases, I wanted one that I can transfer my iPad to my keyboard back with ease.
I’m looking at cases with a balance of protection and functionality.
Btw, I’m not looking into buying Apple Care for those will suggest it 😄
I have an M4 11 inch Pro and I have an ESR Shift Case. The Case is awesome but I recently got a Magic Keyboard and propping the iPad in an out of the case wasn’t ideal, so I got a Smart Folio instead because it’s easier to switch between the two. I’m thinking about getting a Zugu case because they finally released them but would it be worth it if I’m going to be switching back and forth between the keyboard? I still want to be able to use the iPad as a tablet. Or should I just return the keyboard, keep it in a safe case and use my MacBook to type everything? What accessories are y’all rocking with your iPads?
Does anyone here use the 4th Gen 12.9” iPad? I’m having a heck of a time finding a magic keyboard-compatible case for my 2020 iPad. I worry I might have an in-between odd duck of an iPad size and am a bit SOL with regard to case sizings… :,(
The 12.9” 4th and 5th Gen iPads are obviously the same screen size but have slightly different thicknesses, yet most iPad cases skip right from 11” (4th gen) to 12.9” (5th gen).
In the MOFT FAQ they note that the 12.9 Snap Case “can also work with the earlier iPad Pro 12.9" 2020 (Gen 4) which are thinner, but there will be slight extra space left, so we recommend only using it with the iPad Pro 12.9" 2021 (Gen 5).” I’m curious how much of a difference the size discrepancy will actually make.
Has anyone used a MOFT (or any other brand) 12.9 (5th Gen) Case with a 12.9 (4th Gen) iPad? How did it work out?
Idk whether this will be a discussion or a question lol, so bear with me.
I have been looking for a case to provide protection for the back of my iPad since i got this iPad for school, since i care lots about scratches and cannot bear to have my iPad barebones against a table. I have a tea towel permanently on my desk when I’m writing on it to prevent this lol. The big 4 cases to be compatible with Magic Keyboard are: 1) Spigen slim Fit case: this currently doesn’t have an m4 variant as far as i am concerned. 2) Coverbuddy case: this seems to have really mixed reviews on amazon, ranging from meh to falls apart in months. That’s a big no. 3) Pitaka magEZ case: seems to be really good, but seems out of stock permanently. 4) Spigen Enzo Aramid Fibre case: this had no release date in site, but I happened to find it buried in amazon just 10minutes ago. £50 and i have snatched it up, since Spigen has always done me well. I’ll let you know how this goes when it arrives tomorrow.
How have all you guys who got any of these (or others!) found them?
If anyone wants the hidden link for the Spigen case —> https://amzn.eu/d/g3cITjY
For anyone asking, i got the Magic Keyboard over Logitech combo touch (or similar) because keyboard flex drives me insane, and i work on my lap quite a lot!
As the title states, is there a case that will be compatible with the Magic Keyboard? I like to pull my iPad off and walk around at times or to sit without the keyboard but no case makes me nervous. Sure I could have a non compatible case to slap on, but that’s more to carry. This is my first Magic Keyboard and experience without a case.
There are 1-5 posts per day about this exact subject. Earlier today, I created a thread to try and help answer it. Pitaka cases are compatible with the magic keyboard, and they're often recommended, so I reached out to their customer service, and they said the new MagEZ Case 2 is due to arrive in June. Here's a link to the older model. Please help spread the word if you see anyone else asking this. Answers are sparse. Also, I'm in no way, shape, or form affiliated with Pitaka. I just had the same question as you and wanted an answer.

There’s a few that work as pass through. I have a friend who swears by the Spigen case. I might also try the MOFT.
I use my IPad both with and without magic keyboard a lot, but when I take it out of MK, I am always worried about damaging it. What are some good cases for this, which are compatible with MK?
Pitaka is the one I keep seeing recommendations for. Had I not already purchased an Apple SmartFolio before I got my magic keyboard on a $100 off sale, I'd have picked up a Pitaka. It's $69-$79 though, so it's a little pricey, but it looks to be the best quality one I've seen so far.

I bought an m4 ipad pro 13" and the Magic Keyboard recently and the combo is an absolute beauty. Now I'm on the hunt for an ipad case that is compatible with the MKB, but I can't seem to find one that definitively allows the keyboard to close fully/"flush" with the case still on the ipad. I've read through several threads, amazon reviews, and youtube videos/comments sections, and there always seems to be a split between people who say that certain cases do allow the magic keyboard to close completely and some who say it doesn't.
Here are some of the cases I've looked at:
Pitaka MagEz Case 2 - bunch of people showing pictures of the MKB not closing fully
Spigen enzo aramid - seems to be better than the Pitaka one but still some people saying it doesn't close flush while others say it does
Switcheasy coverbuddy lite (on amazon) - seems to be the best in terms of allowing the MKB to close fully, but some are still saying it doesn't; also a lot of comments about it being flimsy and the pins falling off
I alternate between using my ipad with the MKB and taking notes with the Apple Pencil with the ipad on my ESR case (which I love). I'm also planning on using the Moft Snap Tablet Stand to help when using the ipad with the Apple Pencil in landscape mode.
I've seen a few threads on this but they're all months old with no definitive answers. Is there anyone who can give me recommendations for to do/buy in this situation?
Update: The Switcheasy coverbuddy does not allow the MKB to close fully. I'll be trying the spigen one next.
