ProCase Smart Case for iPad 10.2 (9th Gen 2021/ 8th Gen 2020 / 7th Gen 2019) with Pencil Holder and Soft TPU Back Cover, Slim Steady Stand Protective Case for 10.2" iPad -Black

Some people may think that $15 is a sign of a cheaper case, but this one is great. I recently bought an iPad 7th generation, and I was so paranoid that it would fall and break, this is very durable. The pencil slot is very secure and there are little slits on the side of the pencil slot so that you can pop the pencil out quickly and easily. When I saw the pictures I thought that the slots were exposed on the outer part of the case, but when the case is closed your pencil is very well protected. The one thing that I will note is that if you are using a pencil grip on the apple pencil, it won't fit inside the pencil slot. But if it is just in a slim protective case it will fit just fine. I also really like the stand for the pencil because it is very stable, and nice if you want to pause drawing.Also, please note that this is a case for the iPad 7th generation 10.2". Not the iPad Air 3rd generation. The camera hole is very accurate, but if you use the case for an iPad Air 3rd generation, the camera will be misaligned. The case will end up covering part of it.If you are looking for a case for the iPad 7th generation, then this is a great case for you. If you are looking for something without space for a pencil, ProCase had a very similar case, with a frosted back(you can partially see the back of the iPad. That case is also a bit slimmer and isn't as rubbery.Overall, this case is very durable, protective, and price-effective.

Good quality item. I was worried because even if there’s a lot of good reviews, there always a chance that I could get a defective item. It’s seems very sturdy. I have a 2 year old so If he happens to get ahold of it, I would worry about him dropping it. But it seems it would be able to withstand small drops. It has a nice space that’s accessible for apple pen, that is also snug. I have no fears of it slipping out and can just pop it out when I need to use it using the holes behind it. The cover is great but can collect dust, though it doesn’t bother me. Closes right over the iPad perfectly. The only issue I can see is that after long use the cover might become stretched and floppy but I could honestly just cut it off and still use the actual bottom. It wouldn’t really affect it at all I think. Overall I’m happy with the case. It’s has a nice look, good quality, good protection and very handy for keeping my pen with my iPad.

overall i'm very satisfied with the product but i do have some pros and cons...Pros: nice case, has a the pencil holder, fits extremely well, i love the feeling of the outer case but..(Cons)Cons: if the outer case gets a little wet and you wipe it it will leave a small smudge but the Apple Magic Keyboard does the same, the back is a tad bit flimsy but i don't mind, the apple pencil holder makes it hard to get the pencil out but i can work with that.i hope my review helped potential buyers and the seller of this product, have a blessed day and spread positivity!EDIT (PLEASE READ): so the apple pencil is actually easy to get out i just noticed this..there at these cut outs beside the apple pencil that makes you able to get the pencil out!! :)

Two weeks ago I received this case as a warranty replacement for the ProCase ultra-slim iPad 9th generation case. I loved my previous case but the corners that snugly held my iPad were made of plastic...eventually cracking and breaking over a span of 10 months. I contacted ProCase and they suggested this model due to TPU being used to encase the iPad. So far, it is fantastic and seems durable. I really wanted to keep the "origami" style/lightweight cover and this one does the trick. The only reason that I knocked a star off is the lack of color choices.

I got this for my daughter and I really like that the pencil is protected in the case. It's too expensive to stick it in a case where it's unprotected when not in use. It looks really nice and professional too. Overall great buy. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars for durability and sturdiness was I don't know first hand since I'm not using it but my daughter loves it. It was even delivered earlier than expected, even during the pandemic!

I boought this case to use for school, I do my notes on goodnotes and it is pretty good. I like how slim and light weight is. I did get mine wet by mistake and the soft touch remained the same which sometimes doesn't happen with cheaper products. But this case is worth the price and gets the job done. I would recommend it for anyone that just needs something efficient and simple, on a budget.

Works well with new 10.2” iPad. Apple Pencil fits in groove. There are two basic positions for the iPad to rest on the case. I only use the one where it stands upright to view screen on kitchen counter while cooking. I was concerned that I may need more viewing angles but I do not. I read with iPad in hand or set it on counter. Love having a spot for the Apple Pencil that I had to have and RARELY use;)

just like the description! it has the sleep and wake function that I like and the texture is great too!the only thing I don't like is that the pencil slot won't fit an apple pencil with a grip so I have to store that separately, but other than that it got delivered quickly and is a great item! It's sturdy and can survive quite the drop.
