I purchased it for the iPad Pro 9.7 and it fits, but there are speakers at both sides with the pro version, and this one does not have the cut outs. I don't know if i got a defective product, but the hinge would not stay up if I went past the 90 degree mark and it would just flop. I am not sure if there was a weight difference. I gave my 9.7 to my wife, and I got the 12.9 and I have the product designed for it and it works great.
