Expect less, get more. Good value for money. Better than most.

***** The June 8, 2021 update works very well and I am happy with it. I have attached photos to show the product. It has many viewing angles, which is useful when reading in bed. You can also fold inward to hide the flap that lifts your iPad. Can be useful if you have used a wireless keyboard. Overall a great case. ****** Just got it for my 2021 iPad. It fits the new 11 inch iPad M1. At first I didn't attach much importance to it? However, after a few days of use, I liked it better. Less than Apple standard. Case for the iPad. The only other case I looked at was the Otterbox Symmetry but it had a flap I didn't like and at the Apple Store they wanted double the price compared to this product. I originally wanted blue but got black and bought it from B-Buy (bIg Box). Black is good. The new 11-inch iPad is physically larger than my previous iPad Pro 9.7, so it's bigger and heavier to hold and type with two hands. /Google News. Incidentally, Apple gave me $190 in exchange for my 2016 iPad Pro, which had a worn screen, 94% battery life, took forever to charge, and was a bit laggy. I think the lack of chips and recycling opportunities made these machines more valuable for parts. in today's standard. When typing, I hold with my left hand, otherwise I swing back and forth with my right hand. I haven't case tested it so I can't speak for protection? I received Apple Care as a monthly subscription. Replacing the screen with a Liquid Retina display costs $500 without help from Apple, and $700 for a 12.9-inch xdr. If you don't get AppleCare, you can skip this product and get an otter symmetry. I have no personal experience with this product but it seems more reliable to withstand a fall, fall or disaster. Would I include a splash screen if you plan on not getting AppleCare? These are expensive devices and they have glass screens so do yourself a favor and get AppleCare, accidents happen eventually, the iPad needs to be ultraportable. BTW I have 5G so I can track the device if it leaves my property (theft) and I found the T-Mobile hotspot was weak. I ran the speedtest from ookla (AppStore) and T-Mobile downgraded it to 3G. What's the point of doing anything other than pulling your hair out? 5G offers reasonable speeds. In addition, Apple is offering a $200 rebate for T-Mobile and a $150 rebate for AT&T when activating a 5G data plan. Tmobile is offering a $20 surcharge for an unlimited 5G data plan for an iPad or other wireless device. So, with the arrival of the M1 chip on the iPad and 5G, you have a versatile, future-proof rag without a keyboard! Ideal for online consumption
