For weeks, the Smart Folio Stand Leather Case Cover for my iPad Pro 11 inch (2020) 2nd Generation (Model Number: MGFOLIO11C04) has been my constant companion. This review details my experiences, both positive and negative, after putting it through the paces of daily use.

The MGFOLIO11C04 boasts a sleek, black artificial leather exterior. The magnetic closure is strong enough to keep the case securely shut, yet easy enough to open with one hand. The stand function, crucial for media consumption, works surprisingly well, offering several stable viewing angles. The cutouts for ports and buttons are precise, allowing for easy access. The advertised sleep/wake functionality is reliable and a significant plus.

In terms of protection, the case delivers. It’s effectively shielded my iPad from minor scratches and bumps. The raised bezel around the screen and camera provides extra protection against accidental damage. However, while it offers decent protection against daily wear and tear, I wouldn’t rely on it for serious drops or impacts. The magnetic closure, while generally effective, sometimes slightly weakens if it gets dirty. Regular cleaning helps maintain its functionality.

The artificial leather feels good to the touch, and the case adds minimal bulk to the iPad. I’ve found it comfortable to hold and use in various positions. However, long-term durability remains to be seen. After a few months, there are some minor signs of wear, so the longevity needs to be further evaluated.

Pros:

• Excellent protection against minor scratches and bumps.
• Reliable sleep/wake functionality.
• Stable stand function with multiple viewing angles.
• Precise cutouts for easy access to ports and buttons.
• Sleek and stylish design.

Cons:

• Not suitable for serious drops or impacts.
• Long-term durability is yet to be fully tested.
• Magnetic closure can weaken slightly with dirt accumulation.

Overall, the Smart Folio Stand Leather Case Cover (MGFOLIO11C04) is a solid choice for those seeking decent protection and added functionality for their iPad Pro 11 inch (2020) 2nd Generation. The sleep/wake feature and sturdy stand are valuable additions. While it might not be the most robust case on the market, its balance of protection, functionality, and style makes it a worthy contender for its price point. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good everyday case.
