Review on UAG Metropolis Feather-Light Rugged Magma iPad Pro 10.5-inch/iPad Air 10.5-inch Case - Military Drop Tested [3rd Gen, 2019] by Darius Glatzel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

best durable cover for cases

I've tried these (UAG Folio iPad Pro 10.5), otter and pelican. This one was the best in actual strength (worst was the pelican). Others were lighter and thinner, but I wanted something that would add extra strength so I wouldn't step on the iPad or bend it. However, it significantly increases the volume and weight of the iPad. I don't use the screen cover, I use the Apple Smart Keyboard which works great with the back cover. The only downside is that the pencil clip doesn't do its job well because it's too narrow. The pen wants to fly away when I put it in or take it out of my backpack. Using the included lid would be ideal as a magnetic loop wraps around the stylus for a secure fit. Of course, that's not possible with Apple's Smart Keyboard, and there's no good way to glue or add such a strap to the keyboard, as when unfolded it presents a bulge on which the entire iPad rocks. I can get around this by using a felt sleeve as well. Despite this annoyance, it's still a 5-star product.

Pros
  • brilliantly made
Cons
  • no instructions
