The magnets let me down...but still a solid case.

Just arrived... time for a review I was happy to finally get my Zugu case. Especially since I had one for my 2018 11" IPP. The case has held up well and it was stupid to buy this version for my 2021 12.9" IPP. Packing: Good packing. The box had a few scuffs and dents. Nothing unusual. Everything inside was clean and undamaged. Free home delivery a full 3-4 weeks earlier. VERY PRETTY. The case itself is very similar to previous models. Continuous. Easy to hold. I feel I can drop it and it will hold up just fine. The implementation of IPP was very easy. Fits like a glove. Holes for speakers, ports and buttons are perfectly placed. The slot for my Apple Pencil is the same. It was simply fixed and charged once inserted into the slot. Small compartment on the back for storage when not in use or charging. My only concern is that I won't be able to use my case for my Apple Pencil anymore because it doesn't fit. Not in the charging slot above, not in the case on the back. The magnet test disappointed me. I understand that 12.9 is heavier than 11, but I still expected the same installability when needed. It works ... somehow. As you can see from the photos, you need to position the magnetic "back flap" up to secure it with magnets. If you just pull the cover from front to back and cover with a valve, it won't hold and will slide off the surface. I was able to slide the magnetic flap first, then put the front cover on and it's installed. You can also just open the lid, hang it down and install it as shown in the photos. In general I am very satisfied with the purchase. 5 stars, hands down. It pays to protect your new IPP.
