The iPad 10th generation is a sleek and powerful device, but like any gadget, it needs protection. Enter the Rock case (Model Number: Rock), a shockproof cover promising style and functionality for the new 10.9-inch iPad. After weeks of using this case daily, I’m ready to share my thoughts – the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The Rock case boasts several key features: a premium PU leather exterior, a soft microfiber interior, a clear transparent back, a built-in pencil holder, and auto sleep/wake functionality. The tri-fold design allows for multiple viewing angles, perfect for watching videos or typing. On paper, it ticks all the boxes. But how does it perform in reality?

The build quality is surprisingly good for the price. The PU leather feels durable and resists scratches well. The clear back showcases the iPad’s elegant design without compromising protection. The pencil holder is snug and readily accessible, preventing accidental loss. The auto sleep/wake feature works flawlessly, consistently putting the iPad to sleep when closed and waking it when opened. The multiple viewing angles are also a huge plus – I found them incredibly useful for both typing and video calls. I have accidentally dropped my iPad a couple of times, and the case has protected it from any damage. Overall, the performance of the Rock Case surpassed my expectations for a case in this price bracket.

However, there were minor gripes. The case adds some bulk to the iPad, making it a tad heavier and thicker than I would prefer. The case isn’t compatible with the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio, so that’s a drawback if you use that keyboard. The magnetic closure, while strong, can be slightly stiff at times.

Pros:

• Durable PU leather exterior
• Soft microfiber interior
• Clear transparent back
• Reliable auto sleep/wake functionality
• Convenient pencil holder
• Multiple viewing angles
• Good shock absorption

Cons:

• Adds noticeable bulk to the iPad
• Not compatible with the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio
• Slightly stiff magnetic closure

Overall, the Rock case (Model Number: Rock) for the 10th generation iPad is a solid choice. While it’s not perfect, the pros far outweigh the cons. The protection it offers, coupled with its convenient features and stylish design, makes it a worthwhile purchase for anyone looking for a dependable and reasonably priced case for their new iPad. I would wholeheartedly recommend it.
