Review on Poetic Lumos X Series Apple iPad Pro 12.9 2020 & 2018 Case - Rose Gold, Smart Cover with Pencil Holder, Slim Fit Stand Folio Design by Juan Crane

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nearly perfect! in bags, cases & cases

Almost perfect! I made this purchase based on my long experience with a previous iPad Pro 12.9 case from 2017 which has served me well for the last 2+ years. Poetic really does its homework when it comes to making sure you're getting the most out of your device and keeping it secure. There's enough room for the charging cable (which I've seen in other cases), the speakers don't jam, the button covers work well, the magnetic flap, the transparent TPU back has a nice edge that when laid flat reveals the camera off/washes away to keep the camera from hitting the surface (not sure if that made sense) and the real reason that makes this case a winner is the stand for the Apple Pencil 2. When I Traded in my old iPad Pro for this newer version, I wasn't sure how I felt about magnetic charging (especially when traveling), but I wasn't worried about finding the right case for it because I knew Poetic would cover me. You're probably wondering, well you've listed all the great things about it - so why did you give it 4 stars instead of 5? I'd rather give it a 4.5 as I have some minor complaints, but at $19 this case is still a winner. What I would like to see in the case is a more durable TPU back, similar to the previous iPad Pro 12.9 case. The pen holder is a little softer than I'd like, which gives that area a little more slack when you hold on to the center section. The magnetic flap could also be a little stronger, I found if I held the iPad flap down the flap would detach, but that's not a problem if it's on a flat surface. One suggestion is that the flap expands to cover the pencil as well and has a magnetic stick on the back to hold it in place. I would also like to see a microfiber lining on the inside of the magnetic flap to protect the screen. I know these offers will likely increase the cost of production and the selling price of the product, but. It was worth it. In any case, despite my mini-babble about what Poetic can improve on this case, for $19 this is a gem and if this case is like my previous one it will last me over 2 years.
