What to look for in an iPad Pro case
The exact size and model of your iPad Pro should be your first consideration when picking a case. Our case picks are meant for the 6th-generation, 12.9-inch iPad Pro from 2022, but each case here will also fit the 5th-generation, 12.9-inch iPad Pro, as it has the same dimensions.
Aside from size, you'll want to consider the basic protection level of the case, its design and style, and any other features that might make usage of your iPad Pro more seamless.
For example, if protection is your priority, you should lean toward Spigen's Rugged Armor Pro case for its sturdy TPU cover with a built-in screen protector, and for its air-cushioned frame that provides reliable drop protection.
To maximize your tablet's compatibility with Apple products like the 2nd-generation Apple Pencil or the Magic Keyboard, consider Moft's Snap case for its holder that accommodates the Pencil's wireless charging, and for its smooth integration with Apple's tablet keyboard.
