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 protection and functionality for the 2020, 2021, and 2022 models of the iPad Pro 11-inch, and I put it to the test to see if it lives up to the hype. From its lavender hue to its purported ability to seamlessly integrate with the Apple Pencil, I’ve explored every facet of this case.

The Rock case boasts a number of key features designed to enhance both the protection and usability of your iPad Pro. The built-in Apple Pencil holder is a standout, securely holding the pencil via magnetic attachment while simultaneously supporting charging. This eliminates the need for a separate pencil case, a welcome convenience. The auto sleep/wake function, activated by the magnetic closure, is another highlight, effectively conserving battery life. The case also features a soft microfiber lining and a soft TPU back cover, providing excellent protection against accidental drops and scratches. The dual standing positions offer flexibility, allowing for comfortable viewing angles whether you’re watching videos or working on a project.

In terms of performance, the Rock case delivers on its promises. The magnetic closure is strong enough to keep the case firmly shut, yet easy enough to open with one hand. The Apple Pencil integration is flawless; I experienced no issues with charging or magnetic attachment. The auto sleep/wake functionality worked perfectly, consistently activating and deactivating the screen as the case opened and closed. The material feels durable and protective. I dropped my iPad (accidentally, of course!) a few times from a moderate height, and the case absorbed the impact without any damage to the device. However, the case doesn’t offer drop protection from extreme heights. The dual viewing angles are practical and stable, making it easy to use the iPad on a desk or lap.

Pros:

• Excellent Apple Pencil integration (magnetic attachment and charging).
• Reliable auto sleep/wake functionality.
• Durable construction offering good protection against drops and scratches.
• Convenient dual standing positions.
• Attractive lavender color.

Cons:

• The case might add a bit of bulk to the iPad.
• Limited color options (currently only available in Lavender).
• No screen protector included.

Overall, the Rock iPad Pro 11-inch case is a solid choice for anyone looking for a protective and functional case for their iPad. The seamless Apple Pencil integration, reliable auto sleep/wake, and good drop protection make it a worthwhile investment. While the added bulk and limited color options are minor drawbacks, they don’t outweigh the benefits. I would confidently recommend this case to friends and family.
