Review on SwitchEasy CoverBuddy 2020 Case for iPad Pro 12.9 Inch, Compatible with Magic Keyboard and Smart Folio, with Pencil Holder and Apple Pencil Charging Support - Grey (Keyboard Not Included) by Adam Stone

Is it against the Pitaka magnetic case?

I tried the white model as it was the only color option available that was compatible with the current 2021 model. Attaches to the four corners of the iPad, but no side tabs and has a slightly sharp bottom edge (Pitaka has side tabs and a soft bottom edge). The hole for the microphone or speakers is closed (similar to a power adapter), but the charging port is open in an oval shape. This can lead to limitations when using the charging cable (this is not a problem in Pitaka). The material feels like a matte plastic with a soft, velvety material inside (a nice touch not found on the Pitaka). My main issue with this is that the volume buttons are difficult to access and the body of the pen feels fragile. There is room in the body of the pencil for a pencil with a protective cover. The Pitaka lid looks premium on the back, but the sides are just as thin. The Pitaka doesn't have a pencil case and actually covers the side of the pencil which I think makes the pencil's magnetic attachment a bit weaker and you can't use it with a pencil case. I really want the case to combine the good qualities of both. Choose what you like the most!
