If you have the latest iPad Pro 3rd generation (2018), then you might know how soft and pliable it is. There are even some reports that it comes slightly bended right out of the box.

If that is the case with your purchase, Apple says this is normal. Most people will disagree with that.

This, to me is unacceptable. If this happened to you I suggest you go to your nearest Apple Store and seek to get a replacement unit.

Now if your iPad Pro is A-OK, then getting a good, solid protective case is paramount to protect your investment. You can buy the rugged ultra protective Dux Plus but at the time of this writing it is not yet available for the iPad Pro 3rd gen.

But if you're looking for a classy, leather look for your iPad, I highly recommend the case from ZtoTop.

I just got one and it is REALLY GOOD. The reviews and ratings on this one is very close to a full 5 stars.

The leather used in this product is a high quality synthetic leather. It doesn't smell like real leather but the finish is superb. The stitching on this product is also highly commendable. I didn't see any fraying or any flaws.

This case also allows the Apple Pencil version 2 to be magnetically charged on the iPad Pro without any obstruction. Not only that, it has a small and very secure loop to hold the Apple Pencil in place.

Not only that, it has a neat little compartment to store that odd business cards or paper notes that you might have or want to stow away.

This case also allows you place on the desk like a stand, providing 3 different viewing angles.

And not forgetting the wrist strap built inside the case. You can use it to support your hand while you grab a hold of your iPad.

This is a superb product at a fraction of the cost of Apple's own OVERPRICED smart folio. I highly recommend this over Apple's smart folio.
