What Size is My iPad Pro?
For many new Apple tablet users, (and some old ones too!), remembering what size iPad you have can be a daunting task. We know this because we sometimes talk to customers who are looking for a case and we ask them, "What size do you have?" Long pause. "I don't know", is often the reply.
If you ever find yourself not knowing or remembering what size your tablet is, we have a great solution. You can find your size by clicking the How to Measure an iPad for a Case link above under Guides. This blog post goes over the best methods to make sure you get an accurate measurement of the size of your Apple tablet. So next time you get asked, you'll know.
What Size iPad Pro Case or Bag Do I Need?
So now that you know what size your Apple tablet is, you're probably wondering what size case you need to protect and transport it. Luckily, you've come to the right place. No one knows more about protecting Apple's tablets than MacCase.
Some of the iPad case sizes are marked in the product title. If you see that the product title doesn't include the case size, there is usually a pull-down menu option to choose the size on the product page. If there's not, that case is for the 12.9-inch.
But all the other Apple tablets are smaller, 11-inch, 10.9-inch, etc. So even though the case might have been originally designed for the 12.9-inch, the smaller-sized tablet will fit in those models.
But because we are MacCase, (and a bit obsessive) we make most of our models to custom fit your specific size. That's just how we roll.
Are you are looking to use a 3rd party accessory such as a non-Apple keyboard with your iPad in one of our cases? The best thing to do is to "upsize" your case. For example, if you're looking for a sleeve to protect an 11-inch iPad Pro and an aftermarket keyboard, the best solution to guarantee fit would be to go with a 12.9 Sleeve.
The Best Bag for iPad Pro 12.9 with Magic Keyboard
For many Apple tablet owners, using the Magic Keyboard is part of their toolset. While the Magic Keyboard is easy to install and uninstall, most users leave the keyboard connected to the tablet. This presents a problem when needing to protect both the keyboard and the tablet during transport or storage.
There are a lot of cases and bags of various types that will protect the 12.9 Apple tablet. Very few bags are custom designed to protect the tablet and the Magic Keyboard. We have 2 options that do.

The iPad Pro Briefcase is designed to elegantly transport and protect your tablet/ keyboard combo with space for other items. It can be carried by its' handle or worn as a shoulder bag. Many users have called it the best bag for the iPad Pro 12.9 with the Magic Keyboard?

Two iPad Pro Messenger Bags
MacCase has built its 25+ year reputation for building the world's best Apple protection products on hard work, insane levels of quality and innovative designs. We've got the scars to prove it.
This spirit of innovation and quality is instilled in 2 of our most popular models, our nylon iPad Pro 12.9-inch Messenger Bag and our Premium Leather iPad Messenger Bag.
While they are quite different in their execution, the core principals of MacCase design can be found in each one. Both are highly protective through the inclusion of a custom 12.9-inch or 11-inch sleeve. Your tablet goes in the sleeve, the sleeve goes in the bag and you're good to go.
Moreover, the sleeve and bag can be used together or separately. This creates a wonderfully versatile bag that you can use everyday for a broad range of situations. This versatility is one reason our iPad Pro messenger bags are so popular.
Both use their materials to the highest levels creating designs that are full of character. The nylon offers ultra-lightweight and the leather version offers the natural beauty and durability of that material.
Both designs offer storage beyond just protecting the tablet. Pockets and compartments abound with places for accessories and personal items. If you're looking for an iPad messenger bag, each of these exciting models offers features, advantages and benefits that lead the field.
