The iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) is a powerhouse, and protecting such a valuable investment is crucial. Enter the TIGO 400101 case, a transparent folio case promising protection and style. I’ve been using this case for the past few weeks, putting it through the paces of daily use, and this review reflects my honest experience.

The TIGO 400101 boasts a number of features aimed at protecting your iPad Pro while maintaining its sleek aesthetic. The transparent back allows the beautiful design of the iPad to shine through, which is a nice touch. The soft TPU bumper provides a good level of shock absorption, and the included pencil holder is a welcome addition, keeping my Apple Pencil (both Pro and USB-C models worked fine) neatly tucked away. The tri-fold front cover provides multiple viewing angles, ideal for watching videos or typing. It also includes a magnetic closure and supports the auto sleep/wake functionality, which is very convenient.

In terms of real-world performance, the TIGO 400101 delivers. The case fits snugly, preventing any unwanted movement. The TPU bumper has absorbed minor bumps and drops without issue. The built-in pencil holder has held my pencil securely, even during commutes. The auto sleep/wake function works flawlessly, instantly activating and deactivating the screen as I open and close the case. The viewing angles provided by the tri-fold cover are sufficient for most tasks. Overall, the case provides excellent protection without compromising functionality.

However, while the material feels good to the touch, the long-term durability remains to be seen. Only time will tell if the TPU bumper remains as resilient over an extended period.

Pros:

• Clear back shows off the iPad Pro’s design.
• Soft TPU bumper provides decent drop protection.
• Built-in Apple Pencil holder.
• Multiple viewing angles.
• Supports auto sleep/wake.
• Easy access to all ports and buttons.

Cons:

• Long-term durability of the TPU bumper needs further testing.
• Some users may find the tri-fold cover slightly bulky.

The TIGO 400101 iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) case (model number 400101) offers a solid blend of protection and style. It’s well-designed, functional, and reasonably priced. While long-term durability is something that needs more time to assess, based on my experience so far, I would comfortably recommend this case to anyone looking for a protective yet aesthetically pleasing option for their new iPad Pro. It excels in providing daily protection and the inclusion of the pencil holder is a significant plus.
