Performance & Usage
The case fits snugly onto my iPad Pro 11-inch, offering a reassuring sense of security. The auto sleep/wake feature works flawlessly, instantly activating and deactivating the screen upon opening and closing the case. The trifold stand is surprisingly sturdy, providing multiple viewing angles perfect for watching videos or working. The Apple Pencil holder is conveniently located and securely holds my pencil, preventing it from getting lost or damaged. The clear back doesn’t yellow easily. However, after several weeks of use, I’ve noted a slight tendency for the case to become slightly loose but this isn’t a major concern. Overall, it offers a great balance of protection and access.
I used the case extensively during a recent trip. It protected my iPad from several minor bumps and scrapes. The stand proved invaluable for watching movies on long flights. The Apple Pencil was readily accessible during note-taking sessions. While it adds some bulk, it remains relatively lightweight and easy to carry.
One minor gripe is that the cutouts for the ports and buttons could be slightly more precise to enhance accessibility. While not significantly impacting usability, it sometimes requires a bit of extra effort to connect cables and press certain buttons.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Excellent protection, functional trifold stand, reliable auto sleep/wake, convenient Apple Pencil holder, slim design, clear back showing off the iPad design.
- Cons: Cutouts could be slightly more precise, the case might become slightly loose over time.
Final Verdict
The iPad Pro 2024 (5th Generation) M4 11-Inch Case (FA ZFC660) offers a compelling blend of protection and practicality. While minor improvements could be made to the cutout precision, its overall functionality and protective capabilities make it a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking a comprehensive case for their new iPad Pro. I would wholeheartedly recommend this case to anyone seeking solid protection and thoughtful design features for their iPad Pro.
