UPDATED: now fits iPad Pro 10.5 " with Smart Keyboard perfectly!

UPDATE 2017.07.04 --- The seller/ mfr (Tomtoc) reached out to me, concerned about the sleeve's (case's) tight fit, and offered to replace it at no cost to me. I requested a replacement, since after a week of regular use I noticed that the tight fit caused some wearing of the inside material in the corners due the zipper rubbing on it when opening/ closing. I am very pleased to report that the replacement, a grey color with orange trim, is much improved, in fact I would call it a perfect fit. There is now an additional 1/4" (8mm) of space around the sides and top of the iPad Pro 10.5" (with Smart Keyboard attached); the iPad now smoothly slides in and out of the sleeve, there is no resistance to zipping it closed, and there is a bit more "breathing room" in the outside zippered pocket for my Apple Pencil, cables, and lighting adapters.ORIGINAL REVIEW:This is a very nicely made case, and it seems to be of very high quality materials. It is very well padded so a bit thicker package than similar sleeves which are made with the more typical Neoprene material, but I'd expect a bit better protection in cases of dropping or bumping hard with this thicker case. I am not familiar with this brand, but based on the reviews of this and other products I have high hopes that it will hold up well for a long time.This sleeve does in fact fit the iPad Pro 10.5" with the Apple Smart Keyboard attached, but be aware that it is a snug fit, and the soft material on the inside of the case seems to drag a bit on the "grippy" silicone material of the folded up Smart Keyboard front surface, so you have to develop some technique to insert and remove the iPad from the sleeve (though with time the case may very slightly stretch and limber up, making insertion/ removal a bit easier).There is a zippered front compartment from the outside, in which I am able to store my Apple Pen (with snuggy), Apple standard lightning/ USB cable (also with snuggy to keep the lightning/ Pencil connector gender adapter together), and my Apple card reader, but not much else due to the tight fit with the iPad and keyboard.Do note that if Apple ever makes a backside case (cover) for this 10.5" iPad Pro model, that will probably make the kit too tight to fit into this sleeve; on the other hand, I'm thinking that I will probably ever buy a back cover for this iPad anyway, so that will not affect me.The iPad Pro 9.7" with Smart Keyboard plus the Apple silicone back cover (which I still have) fits perfectly in this sleeve with just enough comfortable space around the perimeter of the device, but insertion and removal of the 9.7" device is nearly the same snug feeling as with the 10.5" device, given the increased thickness with the additional back cover installed, and now the same Apple grippy silicone material finish on both front and back of the device to drag on the nice soft lining of the sleeve.
