Review on SUPCASE UB Pro Series Case for iPad Pro 11 2018 Release – Pencil Charging Support, Built-in Screen Protector, Full-Body Rugged Design, Kickstand & Protective Cover (Black) by Justin Buck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality but needs to be changed quickly

Had this on my new iPad Pro 11 for a few days. Overall it was much more durable and well made than I expected for the price. Hard plastic seems to be of good quality and the softer bumper material is on par with the otterbox as expected although it could be a bit stiffer I agree with some of the other reviews here about having to remove the screen protector on all my iphones and ipads as they are now , that's not a problem, and even cheap ones work just as well as some of the more expensive Zagg glass screen protectors I've bought. On top of this I put one of the Omoton screen protectors and immediately took off the plastic screen protector. Especially when you're spending that much on a device that you use on a daily basis. But the glass screen protector I installed is great with this case and doesn't affect its fit as far as I can tell. In fact, the glass protector I put goes under the frame so you can't even see the edge, which is perfect. The buttons seem to work and feel good, and the charging lid works well. The apple pencil slot seems hard enough and doesn't get brittle with nothing in it (I don't have a new pencil yet). The kickstand on the back seems to work well, but you have to be careful when using it. It's fairly flimsy plastic, so don't handle it roughly. But it looks like it will hold up well if you take care of it. When closed, it doesn't rattle at all and doesn't move. There are speaker holes at the top and bottom so I don't feel like the audio is affecting the audio when the case is on. I'm really a keyboard case lover, but while waiting for the new Zagg Rugged Book to come out, it will work perfectly. I've used Otterbox Defender and Zagg Rugged Book on previous iPads and this case seems to be on par with both. The only thing is that there's no solid cover for your screen when not in use, so that's one thing to consider. Dear SUPCASE, if you throw a folding keyboard over this case and make a clamshell version. Count me in. I definitely recommend this case. I've never seen anything like this in this price range. +++ UPDATE +++ I got the Apple Pencil and have been using it with this case for a while now and it works great. I was a bit skeptical but the magnet on the pen is quite strong and the pen fits perfectly in the slot. No rattling or anything like that. In fact, I gave it a good shake the other day to see if it would fall out and it didn't. I've carried it in and out of my backpack a few times and haven't had any issues with it falling out. It takes a little getting used to getting the pencil out of the slot and pushing it out from the back, but it seems to work well. I wish there was some sort of valve to close or seal it, but it seems to work fine. I was also good at drawing in Procreate and taking notes on my iPad, and the case's bezel doesn't seem to get in the way. Overall the pencil seems to work great and the case is still good for everyday use.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not bad
