Fintie Magnetic Stand Case for iPad Air 10.5" (3rd Generation) 2019 / iPad Pro 10.5" 2017, Multi-Angle Viewing Rugged Soft TPU Back Cover with Pencil Holder, Auto Wake/Sleep, Black

I like this case for it's durability, its numerous positions you can adjust it with. The pen / pencil holder holds my pencil snuggly and is designed to allow me to take the pencil out without any struggles. The fitment of my iPad is excellent, well designed, well made with quality materials. I like it for the value as well, it protects my iPad nicely and securely.

Love it! Much sturdier than either of the two that previously I had and it definitely stays put! No more slipping and sliding when having it perched with the stand extended. The grooves on this unit definitely have staying power with the stand. So glad I purchased this. I love how STURDY this thing is. It has depth (iPad is kind of nestled in it) and substance. It can definitely take significant impact if it ever came to that.

If you’ve shopped for an iPad case on Amazon, odds are you’ve run into the Zugu case. It’s one of the best rated cases on Amazon and seemingly has it all... at a cost. That case is super popular and well rated, but also is a bit pricey. This Fintie case has a lot of the same features, but at a fraction of the cost. It mimics the main design of the Zugu. It’s $21, which is much more reasonable, but does it hold up? The answer is a resounding “kind of.”First, the good:* Offers excellent protection. It covers all edges and is reinforced with thick rubber all around the case. I definitely feel comfortable trusting this case to protect my iPad.* The adjustable magnetic stand is great. The angles are good and I found myself using many of them for different purposes. They proved to be very versatile and very helpful depending on how I use my iPad. For example, I would use the more laid back angle for gaming, the more upright angles for watching movies, and the middle angles for typing with my connected Bluetooth keyboard. I was pleasantly surprised at how much use I had for the different angles.* The pencil holder, in my opinion, works better than the Zugu case. It’s held on the interior and the whole case can be folded flat. The Zugu case has a holder on the back, which means it’ll always be propped up if you have your pencil stuck in. Also, the Zugu design has the pencil exposed, so this case offers more protection. This case can also hold the charging adapter for the pencil as well.* The price. Again, this case at the time of writing is $21, which is much lower than the Zugu’s $50-$60.* It’s compatible with both the 2017 10.5” iPad Pro and 2019 10.5” iPad Air. There’s another brand on Amazon with good reviews that has this style case, but the cutout on the back doesn’t allow compatibility with the 2017 version (the 2017 version has a flash, the new 2019 version does not).Now, the bad:* The magnets are weak. The Zugu case uses much, much stronger magnets that are more reliable. The ones they used on this case are just OK and work most of the time, but they do give away every once in a while, and it can be very frustrating.* This thing is heavy. It more than doubles the weight of the iPad and makes it uncomfortable to use after even just a ten minutes. Half the allure of the iPad is its thin, light frame, and using this case makes me think I should be using a laptop or something instead. This is actually the biggest issue I have with this case. When I let people use my iPad with this case attached, they all point out how bulky and heavy it is.* The materials are definitely cheap feeling. Some of the materials feel really cheap, unlike the Zugu, where the whole thing feels top of the line.Lastly, the meh:* The flap doesn’t stick to the back when you fold it around. It’s minor, but it’s annoying.* When you flip the stand back, sometimes the part that folds down (the part with the Fintie logo on the back) can get caught and stuck. It’s another extremely minor issue, but it’s also another good example of the tiny oversights in engineering this case.* No support for the Apple Smart Keyboard, but odds are you aren’t even looking at this product page if you owned one. The case covers all edges, so you can’t access the smart connector at all.* The buttons that cover the power and volume buttons are mushy and not tactile.Overall - I think it’s a good case, but it wasn’t for me. I ended up returning it for a different option. The heft it added to the iPad was a dealbreaker. If you really like this form factor (like I did), it’s not a bad option. Although the Zugu case is nicer and more thoughtfully designed, I actually prefer this version to that one because of the price and better Apple Pencil storage.

Excellent product..It matches specifications of retailer

I liked the color rose gold it matched my keyboard perfectly, and the magnet stand it stays in place. Oh and the pencil holder... you don't have to struggle with it, the one I had previously was so hard to handle it would break my nails and last but not the lease its sleek design it made my old ipad look like new. I LOVE IT!!!

This is just what I needed to be able to use my iPad in a chair, lying in bed or sitting on the counter. I like the magnetic close that shuts off the iPad and the varying degrees of the stand. The stand works well in any position and stays. It also protects my iPad, is lightweight, and easy to clean. It’s been a great purchase !

Nice feeling material and right fit. The stand though bent in half right away and would no longer hold my iPad upright any longer, also the design is weird with how you adjust the stand.

Had this cover for a year and a half still looks new and stand very sturdy and love the wake on opening feature. Would buy again.
