For weeks, I’ve been putting the Ultra Hybrid Pro case (model number ACS07006) for the 13-inch iPad Pro M4 (2024) through its paces. This review details my experience, covering everything from its initial impression to its long-term performance. I wanted a case that offered robust protection without sacrificing access to the iPad’s features, and the marketing claims for this case were certainly promising. Let’s see if it lived up to the hype.

The Ultra Hybrid Pro boasts a compelling list of features. The dual-layer construction (TPU and polycarbonate) promises military-grade drop protection, and the air cushion technology is designed to absorb shock. The trifold front cover acts as a convenient stand for both typing and media consumption. And finally, there’s a dedicated Apple Pencil holder—a must-have for anyone using Apple’s stylus.

The case’s build quality is immediately apparent. It feels substantial without being overly bulky. The combination of materials provides a good grip, preventing accidental slips. The case fits my iPad perfectly, with all ports and buttons remaining easily accessible. The Apple Pencil holder is secure and readily available. The kickstand is a really useful addition; it’s sturdy enough for comfortable viewing and typing. I’ve dropped my iPad a couple of times (accidentally, of course!), and the case has kept it perfectly safe. No scratches or dents. The transparency of the back allows the beautiful iPad design to shine through.

However, the case isn’t without its minor drawbacks. While the kickstand is functional, it’s not the most elegant design. The angles aren’t perfectly optimized for every viewing scenario. Also, the case adds a noticeable amount of bulk, which is something to consider if you prefer a slimmer profile. Over prolonged use, the edges near the ports are showing very minor signs of wear and tear.

Pros:

• Excellent drop protection
• Secure Apple Pencil holder
• Functional trifold kickstand
• Good grip and comfortable to hold
• Preserves access to all ports and buttons

Cons:

• Adds noticeable bulk
• Kickstand angles could be improved
• Slight wear and tear near ports after prolonged use

Overall, the Ultra Hybrid Pro case for the 13-inch iPad Pro M4 (ACS07006) is a solid choice. The robust protection, convenient features, and decent design make it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to safeguard their expensive tablet. While it’s not perfect, the minor shortcomings are overshadowed by its positive attributes. I would recommend this case to anyone seeking reliable protection and added functionality for their iPad Pro.
