They do NOT endorse their products.

After using this product for a few months, I noticed a mura corresponding to where the lid was attached. I contacted their support team and they said "Shifa Ahmed (UAG) Feb 1st 3:33pm PSTH Hello, thanks for contacting Urban Armor Gear support! Certified to withstand vibration, shock and drops up to 48 inches. While one of our cases increases the likelihood that your device will not be damaged in the event of a fall, there is no guarantee that a case will provide protection in all circumstances.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Fantastic case that gives me peace of mind

When a friend recommended this case for my new iPad I was amazed at the price. There are so many cases that are less expensive. But, trusting my friend's opinion, I continued reading the product description. I've learned that this case meets the strict requirements of the military, who obviously need to protect their mobile devices in more difficult situations than mine. That convinced me that this was my case. I just invested a lot of money in this iPad that I take to work. There is a high…

best durable cover for cases

I've tried these (UAG Folio iPad Pro 10.5), otter and pelican. This one was the best in actual strength (worst was the pelican). Others were lighter and thinner, but I wanted something that would add extra strength so I wouldn't step on the iPad or bend it. However, it significantly increases the volume and weight of the iPad. I don't use the screen cover, I use the Apple Smart Keyboard which works great with the back cover. The only downside is that the pencil clip doesn't do its job well…

Pros
  • brilliantly made
Cons
  • no instructions

Bought for my girlfriend for iPad with 10.5" screen. According to what the seller wrote in the product description, it fits her iPad perfectly. Unfortunately she dropped her iPad and didn't notify me (I think she thought I was upset) and when I kept asking her why she didn't put a case on her iPad or if she needed it I would get one for her invest. She refused any help. So it was over 30 days after purchase before I knew what had happened to their iPad. Told her everything is fine, I have Apple

Pros
  • Suitable for many
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Versatile, easy to use in different situations.

I first ordered another highly praised case without a cover, as I assumed that the Apple Smart Keyboard would be used as the front cover. But even before it came out, I was doubting my decision because I don't use the keyboard much. That's what I have on hand, but it doesn't need to be connected to the iPad 24/7. Also, I needed an integrated face cover, so I chose UAG. The keyboard and UAG cover work very well together even without removing the front cover. Well, I wouldn't transport it like…

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Minor flaws

Design flaws but easy to change and fix

I use my iPad in the harshest environments so I need a good case. This case is pretty good but there is a bug for me and here is how I fixed mine. I was watching a tutorial video as I was moving outside of my shop as I waved my hand over the iPad to view the video the case was unrolled and I held the flexible packaging sleeve while the real iPad was in the heavy Outer shell from the detached packaging. The iPad then fell face down on a rocky gravel path, smashing my screen protector. It also…

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • Security

Great protection for iPad Pro 10.5

I purchased this iPad theme specifically for use with the Apple Smart Keyboard. In this configuration it works very well. Please note that you must remove (and not use) the included front cover with this accessory - you only use this cover when you are not using the Smart Keyboard. The cobalt blue version of this accessory looks very professional with the Smart Keyboard. , and the Smart Keyboard serves as the face of the iPad when worn or carried. I use my iPad Pro 10.5 quite extensively…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Legacy

Bad for artist use

Update 02/20/18: I don't like this case now. Very dissatisfied with the smear line the front cover always leaves on my screen, which never stays in place while I'm trying to draw. Unfortunately I cannot return the product but I will definitely buy a new one from another company. I use my iPad to draw and paint almost every day and this case really isn't made for artist use. There are only two viewing angles, neither of which are suitable for prolonged drawing, and it never holds properly…

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • So far so good
