Best 2020 iPad Case - Worst 2021 iPad Case

I have a 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 with a 2020 Metropolis case and this is my favorite case for it. Among many. I bought a 2021 iPad Pro and a new 2021 Metropolis case and it's not the best experience. I don't know why they decided to change the case in any way other than increasing the thickness, but they did it to the detriment of the 2021 case. The upper left corner (landscape) / upper right corner (portrait) keeps coming off. They enlarged the power button opening to a ridiculously large gap (for no apparent reason) and also completely changed the feel of the area around the volume buttons. Those three things make this case way more expensive than it's worth. I don't understand why the extra 0.5mm thickness required these changes and at this point I would recommend any other case for your M1. Before the 2021 case got here, I put the 2020 UAG on my 2021 iPad. It still fits better than a new case and doesn't have a corner that keeps popping out. That's hard to convey...
