Rock iPad Pro 11 Inch Case (Model Number: Rock) Review
After weeks of using the Rock iPad Pro 11-inch case (Model Number: Rock), I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This case promises a lot: protection, Apple Pencil integration, and convenient features like auto sleep/wake. But does it deliver? Let’s dive in.
The Rock case boasts several key features. The most immediately noticeable is the built-in Apple Pencil holder, which securely holds the Pencil and allows for magnetic charging. The auto sleep/wake functionality is also a welcome addition, automatically putting my iPad to sleep when closed and waking it when opened. The dual standing positions are a great touch for watching videos or working on the go. The case itself is a three-layer construction: PU leather exterior, microfiber lining, and a soft TPU back cover, all designed for maximum protection.

In terms of performance, the Rock case exceeded my expectations in some areas and fell slightly short in others. The protection offered is excellent. I accidentally dropped my iPad a few times (don’t ask!), and the case absorbed the impact perfectly, leaving my iPad unscathed. The Apple Pencil integration works flawlessly; the magnetic attachment is strong, and charging is seamless. The auto sleep/wake function is reliable and responsive. However, the case does add some bulk to the iPad, making it slightly less portable than using the iPad alone. The added weight is noticeable, especially after a long time holding it.
While the dual standing positions are helpful, I found that sometimes the angle isn’t quite perfect, and adjusting it requires a bit of fiddling. The color is vibrant and pleasing to the eye, though personal preference will vary.
Pros:
- Excellent protection against drops and scratches
- Seamless Apple Pencil integration and charging
- Reliable auto sleep/wake functionality
- Dual standing positions for comfortable viewing
- Attractive design
Cons:
- Adds noticeable bulk and weight to the iPad
- Standing positions can be slightly awkward to adjust
- May not be suitable for users who prefer a slimmer profile
Overall, the Rock iPad Pro 11-inch case (Model Number: Rock) offers a solid balance of protection, functionality, and style. While the added bulk is a minor drawback, the peace of mind knowing my iPad is well-protected outweighs this. The Apple Pencil integration alone makes it a worthwhile investment for Apple Pencil users. I would happily recommend this case to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish protective case for their iPad Pro 11-inch (2020, 2021, or 2022 model).
