12-inch iPad Pro case compatible with Apple smart keyboard

May 31, 2016 3:41 PM

We just got a 12-inch iPad pro. I want a case that will be compatible with the Apple smart keyboard -- but I'm not crazy about spending $80 for the Apple-branded silicone case on top of the cost of the keyboard and the iPad. Can anybody recommend a third-party case that will protect my iPad, work with the smart keyboard, and not bankrupt me?

Best answer: Just wrestled with this very question! Ended up choosing URBAN ARMOR GEAR UAG-IPDPRO-BLK-VP Military Drop Tested Feather-Light Composite Case. Includes stand and stylus holder.

Smart keyboard compatible, nice grippy texture, and rugged without being huge.

At $73, it isn't much cheaper than the case you priced, but there it is. Hope this helps.

Best answer: Check out Moko on Amazon. I just ordered one for my iPad and it's like only $8. I had the Smart Cover from Moko previously and I was very satisfied given the price.
