Apple's newest iPad Pro models are an iteration of the 2018 design — thin, modern-looking, and stylish. They are pretty easy to carry around in your daily life, but they do really benefit a lot from slapping a case on them. For one, it makes them grippier and protects their expensive bodies against random bumps. But tablets also need to be propped up quite often if for both media consumption and different types of work. So, a case is sort of a must.

And all that said — here are some of the best cases and folio covers you can get for your iPad Pro 11 (2020) and iPad Pro 12.9 (2020).


Apple's Smart Folios may be a bit... expensive, but they certainly are nice. Employing a number of magnets, both inside the iPad Pro and the folio, it snaps on and off the tablet with ease and it just so satisfying to use. Very few 3rd party vendors offer the same experience, which is why the Smart Folio is still among the best cases for your iPad — working as intended with the device. A tri-fold flap on the front will let you prop the iPad up in two different angles — standing or slightly shifted off a flat surface.


If you find Apple's Smart Folio to be on the expensive side, the Surphy case is basically a copy of that — magnets and tri-fold flap included — for about the third the price. So you save some cash if you are willing to forego the quality guarantee.


A fantastic no-frills case, the Spigen Smart Fold looks a lot like Apple's own Smart Folio, but is... much cheaper. It has a 3-fold flap on the front, just like the original, allowing you to prop the iPad up in two different angles. It doesn't attach to the iPad magnetically, though — this one is a case that you must wrap around the iPad, just like in the old cavemen days of pre-2018. But hey, it's cheaper and it's Spigen quality. Also, don't worry about the wrap-around frame, there's a huge cutout that will still allow you to attach and charge your Apple Pen to the iPad Pro.


The Zugu Alpha case is a stylish, folder-like design with a leather finish. It can be propped up in a total of 8 angles and is filled with magnets, which secure the iPad in a standing position. Scratch that, it can even stick to your fridge. A pretty good all-around case, which lends itself for multiple use scenarios and adds a good amount of protection at the cost of some noticeable bulk.
