The hold of the magnet in the standing position is substantially lower than the hold in a previous design that I have on an older iPad Pro. I am hoping that with time the cover will break in sufficiently to moderate this issue. For now, I do not leave the iPad standing unattended. Otterbox replaced the first purchase since the iPad was falling over for no reason. The second one is somewhat better, but not as good as the old one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) Symmetry Series Folio Case. We have taken your feedback to the company for future consideration.
High-quality case but very poor for upright viewing. It won’t stay upright without falling down. The rear of the case is too slick and doesn’t provide any friction against the cover when it’s folded into an upright position.

The fit is good, but the material is too slick to keep the unit vertical when the front cover is folded back. Returned both covers.
