The Best iPad Pro 12.9 Case for You?
MacCase invented the Apple-specific case market over 25 years ago. 25 years later, we are still innovating like no other. Our new model is the best iPad Pro 12.9 case we've ever made. It's a leather iPad Pro case of class and distinction.
It's offered in 2 distinct versions and fits both the 5th and 6th generations of the 12.9 Apple tablet. In essence, each version is both an iPad Pro 12.9 5th gen case and an iPad Pro 12.9 6th gen case.
One features a clean, minimalist front panel. The other features our Magnetic Accessory System (MAS), which allows for the attachment of our 4 optional accessories. Both models are made using our exclusive ethically sourced leather hides.
Visually, the MAS version has 3 circular magnets integrated into the front cover. If you want to utilize options like our Pencil case, choose this version. For more information about the 2 versions, click the "Additional Information" tab above.
Each version works perfectly with the 2022 6th gen M2 equipped and the 2021 5th gen M1 equipped tablets. Our latest case designs maximize your enjoyment by juxtaposing the latest technology with old-world craftsmanship.
With its exceptional drop protection, smart folio technology, and premium leather construction, the MacCase Premium Leather iPad Pro 12.9 Folio Case stands as a testament to MacCase's unwavering commitment to quality and innovation. This combination is what makes it the best case for iPad Pro 12.9 you will find.
Whether for professional use, creative endeavors, or leisure activities, this folio case offers both style and substance, making it an essential accessory for Apple tablet users who seek the best in protection and functionality.
Meet Our iPad Pro 12.9 6th Generation Case
The latest in a series of interviews about the story behind the design of MacCase products. For this interview, we are speaking to MacCase President Michael Santoro about the new MacCase iPad Pro 12.9 6th Generation Case.
JKD- Welcome. A lot of thought and time has gone into the design of these models. Do you consider them luxury iPad cases?
MS - I guess it depends on what your definition of luxury is. If premium materials, exquisite craftsmanship, excellent protection, and a functional design constitute a luxury iPad case, then yes, this is one of them.
Great products are more than the sum of their parts. They have to work and function. Many products do this. But great products stir the soul. They move you. I think our products do that. They have always done that. This is a part of luxury too. Maybe the best part.
I want to put products into the world that I and everyone who works here can be proud of. This is what we have been doing for over 25 years. These iPad Pro 6th cases are one of our flagship products. There is no way I would put one out there that is not the best it could be. If that makes it a luxury leather iPad case, then so be it.
Leather iPad Pro 12.9 6th Generation Case with Pencil Holder
JKD - A lot of people are interested in what they call an iPad Pro case with a Pencil holder. Is that what this case is?
MS - When someone thinks of an iPad case with a Pencil holder, I believe they are imagining a molded plastic tray with a place for the Apple Pencil to clip into. That's not what we do.
What we do is much more elegant. The Magnetic Accessory System version of our cover combined with our Pencil Case creates an iPad Pro 12.9 6th generation case with a Pencil holder in a unique way.
There is a place to hold the Pencil and it's there when you need it. The difference is it's all wrapped in our ethically sourced premium hides. Moreover, our iPad Pro 12.9 6th gen case protects the Pencil in the charging position. That's another luxury feature.
It really depends on what your needs are but if you're willing to think outside the box, our designs can be considered an iPad case with a Pencil holder.
iPad Pro 5th Gen Case Drop Protection
JKD - There is a lot of talk about "drop protection". How has MacCase addressed this aspect of case design in the iPad Pro 5th and 6th gen case?
MS - I believe our design provides exceptional drop protection while not sacrificing aesthetics. Companies that brag about the drop protection of their cases usually are selling something that looks like a bank vault. It's thick, heavy and has large corner protectors.
There is a time and a place for that kind of design. A construction site comes to mind. And like us, the companies that supply these kinds of cases, do a good job of it. But that's not the MacCase way.
One of the standout features of our iPad Pro 6th gen case is its tablet offset design, strategically placing the Apple tablet about 5-10mm back from the edge of the case.
This design provides excellent drop protection by creating a buffer zone that safeguards the tablet in the event of an accidental drop. With the tablet securely nestled within the tray, users can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their tablet is shielded from potential damage.
iPad Travel Case
JKD - Is this a good iPad travel case?
MS: Our Folios are excellent iPad travel cases, especially for professionals. They're lightweight, durable, padded, have secure closures, are a stand when you need it to be and last but not least, they look the part.
Whether you're meeting a client in New York or hiking through the jungles of Borneo, our iPad Pro 12.9 6th Gen case answers the call. Ultimately, the best iPad travel case is the one that meets a customer's specific needs. I talk to a lot of customers around the world, many of whom travel for a living, and they love what what these cases can do in the field.
They protect, they're tough, they're durable and they good good. You can throw the folio in your roller bag and know it's going to be safe in there. Or put it in your carry-on bag and know it's safe there as well. These are excellent travel cases for iPads.
Designer iPad Case
JKD - You have a long resume of things that you have designed and awards that you have won. You invented the Apple-specific case market as well as the automotive Easter Egg. Do you consider this model a designer iPad case?
MS - In the purest sense, all the work I do for MacCase can be labeled "designer". I believe when someone does a search for a designer iPad Pro 12.9 case they are looking for a fashion designer, not a product or a car designer. They are looking for a name that they recognize.
Typically, they are looking for a name so they can believe they are impressing others or helping them feel better about themselves. There are all kinds of designers in our culture. When people within popular culture refer to a designer or label a product "designer", they are usually referencing a fashion designer or fashion house of some sort.
I have looked at a lot of the so-called "designer iPad cases" and they were awful. The materials were what you would expect for the $2000 they were asking but their functionality was laughable. There was none of the innovation of our Magnetic Accessory System.
MacCase products are designed by a designer to be the best at what they do. My name is on the back of each case. I'm proud of all the work I've done at MacCase over the years. We've really put out some outstanding and innovative pieces.
Our iPad Pro cases are just as "designer" as any from Louis Vuitton or Gucci. They're much better engineered, perform infinitely better and are about one-hundredth of the price.
Best Leather Case for iPad Pro 12.9 6th Generation
JKD - I've asked you this on a number of occasions, but is this the best leather case for the iPad Pro 12.9 6th generation?
MS: "Best" is a very subjective word. It's like cars. What is the best car for one person might not be the best car for another. It's really about finding a product that best meets your individual needs.
At MacCase, we try to do this with every one of our designs. There is always a core group of goals we want the product to achieve. Or to put it another way, there is always a core group of needs we want the product to meet and often exceed.
We know if we do this and do it well, we'll have a case that many people out there will think is the best. There are a lot of folks out there who have needs that are different than the needs we design our Folios to meet. They might like what we have done but it's not the best case for them.
JKD - We have some questions that have come in from potential customers that are general enough that many people may find them helpful. I'd like to ask them and you can give us your answers.
MS - Please.
Will my M1 Pad Pro 12.9 5th generation case fit the M2 6th generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro?
Yes, your old case should fit the 2022 M2 6th generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro. This is because while Apple added an upgraded chip to power their new tablet, the overall dimensions and functional details remained the same and in the same places. Your old case should fit perfectly.
Is This a Protective Case for an iPad Pro?
Yes, but in the quest for the most protective case for your iPad Pro, the key is to align your choice with your specific needs. Determine what matters most to you—whether it's drop protection, style, or functionality—and select the case that strikes the perfect balance.
Does the iPad Pro have a Pencil holder?
It does in the sense that when you place it in the charging position along the long axis of the device, the Pencil is magnetically held in place. One must note that it is not securely held in place and can be easily knocked off and lost.
What is the best iPad Pro 12.9 6th generation case?
The best 6th generation iPad Pro 12.9 case is the one that meets and exceeds your individual needs as an Apple tablet user. These needs should include a level of protection, overall quality and durability, overall aesthetic appearance, man-made or natural materials and overall functionality.
At MacCase, there is always a core group of goals we want the product to achieve. Or to put it another way, there is always a core group of needs we want the product to meet and often exceed.
We know if we do this and do it well, we'll have a case that many people out there will think is the best. People get this. And it's not only the products. I had someone call the other day and after I said hello, his first response was "Wow, you really do have a human being who answers the phone!" Customer service matters too. Especially on a $170 tablet case.
When you look at our materials, how well they are sewn, how well the product protects and functions and how well we take care of our customers before, during and after the sale, you'd be hard-pressed not to say MacCase delivers the best leather iPad Pro 12.9 6th gen case.
Does this case work with the Apple Magic Keyboard?
The Magic Keyboard is a case unto itself. Because the rear panel of the tablet is completely covered by the rear panel of the Magic Keyboard, there is no way to attach the tablet to the tray inside our Folio. So this case does not work with the Magic Keyboard.
JDK - Excellent. Thank you for your time.
MS - Thank you.
