Designed specifically for iPad Pro 12.9" (1st Gen), the Silicone Case protects the back of your device and is designed to pair seamlessly with the Smart Cover for full front-and-back coverage. The smooth silicone material feels great in your hand and protects your iPad Pro while maintaining its sleek, beautiful design. Available in two colors, charcoal gray and white.
I use this case with the Apple Keyboard. A perfect fit and the case grips my iPhone 7 Plus when I am holding both at the same time. I would highly recommend purchasing the case at the same time you buy your iPad Pro. It is stylish and resembles high-quality portfolio folders.
With its epic Retina display, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is the largest and most capable iPad ever. It has a powerful A9X chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, four speaker audio, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, ultrafast Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity,1 and up to 10 hours of battery life.2 And with powerful iOS 9 features like multitasking, built-in apps, and more in the App Store, iPad Pro elevates productivity and creativity to a whole new level. Yet iPad Pro is only 6.9mm thin and weighs just over 1.5 pounds. When you add Apple Pencil with its pixel-perfect precision, and the incredibly thin Smart Keyboard, iPad Pro becomes even more versatile.*
The iPad Pro is an excellent option to replace your laptop. It is thin, yet durable and reliable. The retina screen produces beautiful colors, and the battery life is superb. I do wish that the OS X version of the software would be available in place of the IOS app versions. However, that is the only downfall to using the iPad Pro in place of your MacBook or laptop. Excellent Value and convenient.
Smart Keyboard available at Best BuyThe new Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro has all the utility of an ordinary full-size keyboard, but its technology is far from conventional. The entire keyboard is draped with a custom-woven fabric that has been laser ablated to precisely define each key and ensure a satisfyingly fast and natural key feel. Below the surface of Smart Keyboard is a new conductive material. At just 0.1mm, it is nearly as thin as a piece of paper, yet strong enough to withstand a lifetime of folding. And it's why you won't find any batteries, cord or on/off switches with Smart Keyboard.
Many aftermarket keyboards exist for the Apple iPad Pro. Some are similar to a regular laptop keyboard. The Apple keyboard is slightly narrower than a standard laptop keyboard but is still comfortable. The quality is excellent as to be expected and the screen protection is awesome when not in use. I would buy it again.
