Precision-Molded TPU Tray
A flexible, impact-absorbing tray fitted to your specific iPad model holds your Apple tablet securely in the case. Unlike adhesive or elastic retention systems, the molded tray is designed to maintain its fit without wearing out or losing adhesion. A low-profile tray creates the appearance that your iPad floats within the leather enclosure. Protection stays present without visually overwhelming the device.
Offset Cover Design
With our innovative Offset Cover Design, your iPad sits inboard of the case's outer edges, creating a protective buffer around the device. This added space allows the case's structural edges to help absorb and disperse impact energy like the bumpers on a car, before it reaches your iPad. Our impact-absorbing tray adds protection around the corners and edges creating a second layer of protection. In 17 years of production, not a single iPad has been reported damaged inside one of our folios.
Protects the Apple Pencil While Charging
Unlike many cases that leave your expensive Apple Pencil dangling in space at the whim of a piece of elastic, our offset cover extends beyond the iPad’s edge, creating a protective border around your Apple Pencil while it’s magnetically attached in the charging position. It’s a deliberate use of space: room for the Pencil, with the cover extending beyond it rather than leaving it exposed at the case’s edge.
Handcrafted. Down to the Stitch.
Handcrafted from ethically sourced full-grain or top-grain leather, each folio combines a refined exterior with carefully finished details, including contrasting white stitching. You can't put white thread against black or brown leather unless every stitch is perfect. The contrast leaves nowhere to hide and that's exactly the point. Choose vintage brown for a natural patina or pebble black for a more uniform appearance.
70 Degrees of Adjustable Viewing Angles
Unlike many iPad cases that provide a fixed set of viewing angles, our Folios allow for 70 degrees of viewing angle adjustment so you're sure to find a comfortable angle for reading, viewing, or working. The folio cover also folds back to support hands-free use while keeping the iPad protected within its case
Magnetic Accessory System
Our Folios are offered in two versions. One with the "clean" front cover and one with circular magnets along the left side. These exterior magnets are attachment points for our exclusive Magnetic Accessory System. Choose the MAS version to attach optional accessories including an Apple Pencil holder, cable pouch, paper holder, and business card holder, to the outside of the folio. Add the functionality you need with accessories mounted outside the case, preventing potential damage to your iPad’s screen.

What iPad Pro models does this case fit?
The MacCase Premium Leather 12.9 Case fits the 2021 M1 5th generation and 2022 M2 6th generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro only. It does not fit the M4 or M5 13-inch iPad Pro—Apple changed the dimensions with the 2024 redesign. If you have a 2024 or 2026 13-inch iPad Pro, see the MacCase leather 13 iPad Pro case instead.
Is the iPad Pro 12.9 5th or 6th generation case compatible with the new 13-inch iPad Pro?
No. Apple redesigned the iPad Pro in 2024, changing the dimensions and renaming it the 13-inch iPad Pro. The 12.9-inch 5th and 6th generation cases are not compatible with the 2024 M4 or 2026 M5 13-inch iPad Pro. The MacCase 12.9 case fits only the 2021 M1 and 2022 M2 12.9-inch models.
Why is this case priced at $99.95?
The MacCase Premium Leather 12.9 iPad Pro Case is a legacy model offered at $99.95—marked down from $169.95—while supplies last. Black is sold out. Vintage brown full-grain leather remains available. Same handcrafted construction, same limited lifetime warranty, same worldwide shipping with duties and taxes included. If you have a Gen 5 or Gen 6 12.9-inch iPad Pro, this is the last case you'll need to buy for it—guaranteed.
