This is the ONLY case worth owning if you own an iPad
I’ve tried at least a dozen other brands/types. This ZUGU case is heads above the rest. It’s heavy duty, offers substantial yet light weight plastic/molded rubber protection, has a built-in stand that can be configured any number of ways you could possible desire, has a built-in Apple Pencil holder, and is magnetized should you ever want to have it hang from a metal source. Its exterior has held up without issue for three years now, on two iPad Pros. It’s also smart looking so no embarrassment taking it to important meetings where “professionals” might cast judging eyes. The cost is fair for the peace of mind I get to avoid damage to a device that costs over 10 times more.

Good case, outstanding customer service
2nd Update:I loved this case when I first got it, but it started to come apart at the tab within about a month. I updated the original review noting this. The seller saw this and asked me to send photos of the damage. I did, and within days, I had a new case.It is not possible to avoid all problems, so any seller should be judged more on the way they respond when problems occur. In this case, it was stellar. I did cover the tab on the new one with heavy-duty shipping tape trimmed to fit. It is not unsightly, and it makes it much less likely to split.1rst Update:I was so pleased with this in December that I gave it five stars. January is not yet over, and the plastics as completely separated at the tab, continuing to split apart along the seam. In retrospect, I should have expected that. Unlike other types of cases, you have to open it by the tab, not a corner, as the back cover forms a frame around the iPad, and the front cover is smaller and fits inside that frame. The center tab is is the only way to open it.The design is still good, but for $70, it should last longer than five weeks.Original review:This is a great case! It has most of what I wanted, and does it well. The kickstand in the back is held in place magnetically, and does not collapse. There is a wraparound frame that adds considerable safety. Furthermore, it is not slippery. The only thing I would change would be to add a pocket to hold receipts until I enter them. This very nicely made for the money.

Excellent case! I’ll try to be thorough in this review for anyone on the fence…
I got this for my girlfriend’s 12.9″ Ipad. She had a fancy designer case which looked great, it had the little felt grooves to rest the Ipad in at different angles. Only problem… with the slightest movement or bump it would fall down flat.Well consider THAT problem solved. These magnets are solid. Like really really solid. The 10 different angles are awesome, and even on the lowest setting where the case is close to horizontal (the indents furthest back) it doesn’t move. Wherever you put it, it stays.Will the case stick to a fridge and stay with the Ipad in it? Yep. It does ours, though I can’t really see why you’d want to do this. I had to move 42 billion magnets to make the room to try it, but it definitely worked. So if you’re the type of person that wants to stick your Ipad up on something metal, you’re set. I opened and closed the door several times and it didn’t move or try to fall down.Quality of materials is excellent. I kinda rolled my eyes reading the description about the “Mercedes Benz like materials” being used, but I stand corrected. The “leather” looks and feels excellent. Really nicely wrapped, too. No loose ends or stitching. But it’s the feel that really impressed me. So I guess I shouldn’t have rolled my eyes. hahaFit is excellent, my girlfriend’s Ipad is the first generation 12.9 so the camera and microphone are a little differently placed than the 2nd generation, and this new case has the holes cut out to fit both. You can clearly see the camera cutout has a little notch to accomodate either generation, so no worries there about will it fit mine, or which generation do I have? And, naturally, if you have a 1st gen and someday move to the 2nd gen or later your case is still good to go.It’s also very thin. Putting this case on her Ipad barely feels like it makes it thicker, whereas her (admittedly) prettier designer case was noticeably more bulky and thick than this. She loves that part. It’s seriously thin, yet the corner and eges have a nice bumper so it feels like this case will actually have as much protection in a drop as the previous one. Nicely done, there.She doesn’t have an Ipencil or whatever those things are called, but she does use a stylus with a fat rubber tip and it fits great in the little pouch on the back. She also really likes that part, her other case had a little stretchy fabric loop you slid it into and this design is much more secure and just looks better.So yeah… simply put, she LOVES this case. I’m very happy with it, too. So much so that I have ordered another one for my mom and her 9.7″ Ipad. They’re not cheap, but after seeing it, feeling it, and more importantly using it I will gladly say they are worth the money. This is a case where you WILL get what you pay for.Now… negatives? Really only one I can think of, and this is not a knock on the product itself per se, just more a caution. Because this case rests your screen backwards towards the magnets unlike most cases where you lean the bottom of your screen forward (towards you) and rest it in grooves, the part of the case that touches your screen when closed is what rests on your surface.So if you were using this outside at a picnic table or something, you’d want to make sure you wiped it off of any small pebbles or dirt before you closed it back onto your screen. Or better yet, just lay a small towel or whatever down first. My girlfriend really likes that the case leans backwards and does not have anything protruding forwards, makes it easier to use and position on her lap. But with that design comes this one rather small issue to make sure you’re aware of on the few and far between occasions where you’re setting this down on something dirty.But that’s about it for negatives, and this is such a minor issue as even with a traditional case most people wouldn’t just set it down on pebbles or dirt. So 5 stars for sure, I’m always cautious of products that are hyped up a lot but in this case, the hype was justified. Since I’ve now ordered one for my mom’s Ipad, I can’t think of a better recommendation than buying 2.

Good Quality and Versatility
Zugu makes great cases for iPads. It’s a pretty durable case that can take a minor drop and fits the iPad very well. I have dropped mine from about three feet on to a hardwood floor and the iPad was not damaged. This case is also innovative with its ten different angle settings when you flip the cover over to stand it up. Whether you want to watch a movie or type with an external keyboard, this case has an angle to do it. I have also really liked the magnetized cover when I am cooking and using a recipe on the internet because I can just stick it on the fridge and read the recipe instead of the iPad taking up precious kitchen counter space for prepping food for the recipe. Over all this case is well made and I find that it works very well for watching movies and using it to help me see recipes while I am cooking and just browsing the internet or playing games. A little on the pricey side but I find it worth the price.

I was really reluctant to spend the money as it was a little more pricey than some of the other iPad cases for sale. I have an 2nd generation iPad Pro 12.9″ screen that has all the bells and whistles and it works for what I need. My last iPad cover denigrated so I was in need of a replacement.Pros,It is very well made, sleek yet has much better protection than the last two sleek cases I had previously. You can place the iPad in whatever angle is comfortable- there are 10 options that I have used thus far. Magnetic close when transporting – nothing is flopping around. Plus you have the option of hanging on any magnetic surface if you want. Cool feature I never had before. There is also a apple pen holder on the back. Very happy with the product.I would considering buying another ZUGUCASE for another device based on how much I like this case.Con:- pricey another Pro: BUT offers more protection than a $20 case and considering how much a new iPad costs…

Ich habe schon lange eine geeignete Hülle für mein iPad älteren Baujahrs gesucht. Die bisherige Hülle war eine Katastrophe, weil das iPad immer wieder wegrutschte. Umso begeisterter war ich von der hier angebotenen Schutzhülle für mein iPad. Das Teil ist einfach genial, weil Ich nun in verschiedenen Winkeln mein iPad aufstellen kann und durch den Magnet eine absolute Stabilität gewährleistet ist. Die Hülle ist zwar etwas schwerer, aber damit kann ich gut leben. An den Hersteller ein riesen Kompliment und auch wenn der Preis etwas höher ist, zahle ich diesen gerne, wenn ich eine entsprechende Qualität bekomme. Das ist hier der Fall. Daher kann ich Das Produkt nur empfehlen und würde auch doppelt so viel Sterne vergeben.

l prodotto rispecchia quanto atteso e di buona fattura. Consegna nei tempi ma scarsa attenzione del corriere nella consegna.

Jâai dâabord aimé lâhistoire de cette entreprise. Mais lorsque jâai reçu le produit je peux vous assurer que je fais des envieux chaque fois que je sors ma tablette devant des amis. Tout dâabord lâemballage parfait très elegant et très soignée tél un produit de luxe ( boîte et papier de soie) la coque dâexcellente qualité : robuste vous pouvez faire tomber 100 fois votre tablette elle est parfaitement protégée. Les différents et nombreuses encoches permettent de trouver la position idéale que vous souhaitez pour visionner votre écran. Jâutilise mon iPad dans mon lit cents la première fois que jâai enfin une coque qui est stable et qui ne se referme pas à tt bout de champ : du bonheur. En revanche la coque est assez lourde mais si ce nâétait pas le cas envolée la protection et stabilité de votre tablette : donc nécessaire !!!!Produit de très grande qualité ce qui est très rare de nos jours. A acheter les yeux fermés
