Review on 📱 ESR Yippee Trifold Smart Case for iPad Pro 11 2020 & 2018: Lightweight Stand Case with Clasp, Auto Sleep/Wake, Pencil 2 Charging Support, Black by Jon Lesperance

I have purchased/returned several cases/cases for my new iPad 11 including the Apple Smart Folio which is great and easy to use but lacks edge protection. The problem is that the edge protection seems to be a compromise between all the ways to keep the lid folded back while reading. I want Apple to bring back the separate back/cover they made for my old iPad. Sold separately, one protects the backing/edges and the other folds and glues to the back, but can be easily removed if required. This meets ALMOST all my requirements. It's attractive and protects the edges without intruding too far into the screen area (which doesn't damage the glass protector), but despite having a magnetic strip on the back holding the lid (over the pencil flap) it feels bulky and leaves too much empty space between the lid and the back wall when folded. ESR (same company) makes a much more expensive Smart Folio cover which is a cross between this and Apple's folio: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087CYD9T7/. This is flat, fully magnetized on both sides, and has an Apple Pencil flap. While it doesn't have as much edge protection as this one, it has little edge peeling compared to Apple's Smart Folio. In addition, the pen loop provides protection on this side. It seems to offer some edge protection against short falls (not tested on mine!). I can leave it for a time when I know I can carry it around and need extra protection. But for use in one place, for reading, I think a more expensive model will be much more convenient to use.
