Case Fit and Compatibility

Pros:

  • "The magnets that hold the cover to the keyboard case are super strong and the iPad charges just fine."
  • "The Switch Easy Cover Buddy is a must-have accessory for any iPad owner."
  • "It fits securely on the iPad Pro with the Apple Magic Keyboard and securely holds the pencil."
  • "THIS DOES FIT THE IPAD PRO 12.9” 2020."
  • "The case is good-looking leather that fits the iPad Pro, 12.9 “, snugly."
  • "It works well except the pencil holder is a bit flimsy and mine has popped off multiple times."
  • "The case fits well over the apple keyboard folio case without obstructing any of the functionality."

Cons:

  • "For the money, this thing should be WAY better and more durable."
  • "The fit of case is not good either."
  • "The cover slightly opens up after closing but it is an acceptable amount."
  • "The charging cable cutout at the bottom of the case is not usb-c cable friendly."
  • "The plastic is thin so I do not think it will protect against drops."
  • "However it would be nice if they had an option to have a completely sealed bottom versus the cutout as the lip is constantly coming up when I’m holding the iPad in my hand."
  • "The cover does not protect the bottom edge of the iPad, which somewhat defeats the purpose of a protective cover."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

  • "Not perfect, but so far it does its job."
  • "Thin case that provides protection from scratches due to daily handling when not using the magic keyboard."
  • "It seems durable and should last a long time under reasonable use."
  • "Overall, a good cover! Sticks well, holds well and looks nice."
  • "Very solid case especially when connected to the Smart Folio Keyboard."
  • "The magnetic attachment is strong and reliable, keeping the case securely attached to the iPad."
  • "This case is everything that I was looking for: it protects my iPad when I’m not using my keyboard and easily connects and disconnects as needed."

Cons:

  • "For over forty dollars US, this is a flimsy piece of plastic that I don’t expect is going to do much to protect your iPad if you drop it."
  • "It’s extremely thin and flimsy and won’t protect your iPad if you drop it."
  • "This product is very low quality and feels like it was made with a 3D printer."
  • "Other than the case breaking from the top edge, it’s functionality zeroed when one of the magnetic power pass pins fell off."
  • "The CoverBuddy is a thin fragile flat piece of hard plastic that snaps on three sides of the tablet providing no protection."
  • "Broke easily, iPad cracked badly behind it. It is a cheap, light, plastic material."
  • "The connectors on the back fall out and then it doesn’t work."

Price and Value

Pros:

  • "I use this case because I love to use my 12.9 in. iPad Pro with my Magic Keyboard for nearly every application."
  • "I love that it holds the apple pencil on the keyboard and you have some protection when you pull the ipad off the magic keyboard."

  • "This really does exactly what you want if you are looking to be able to easily remove the iPad from your Magic Keyboard to use it as a tablet."
  • "I love how easy it is to fit with the iPad and then with the keyboard and I can confidently put my Apple Pencil in it and then in my bag without worrying about it falling or being pushed off."

  • "The price is way too expensive for the quality of the product."

  • "It is WAY overpriced for what you get."

Functionality and Design

Pros:

  • "Good solid case, works perfectly with the Magic Keyboard."
  • "The cover is easy to install and somewhat protect the Ipad. However, the only issue I had was the magic keyboard couldn’t close completely."
  • "It mounts effortlessly, and the magic keyboard still closes with no issue at all."
  • "Does what we needed - a little extra corner protection and keeps magnetic pencil from getting accidentally dislodged and lost!"
  • "The case’s built in pen protector keeps the pencil secure in just about all situations."
  • "Super thin, and holds my Pencil securely."
  • "The extended Pencil holder makes a convenient handhold when reading ebooks in portrait position."

Cons:

  • "The very thin plastic has cracked and fractured along the bottom vents for the speakers."
  • "The little support tab on the left side of the pencil holder makes it difficult to reach/adjust the volume buttons."
  • "One of the metal pieces used for the magnetic fell out rendering the case useless for interactions with the keyboard."
  • "The port for the charge cable does not allow for a good connection to the ipad directly so if I have to charge it I have to use the pass through on the magic keyboard."
  • "This case does not provide full protection expected of what we traditionally call a 'case'."
  • "Not very durable material and leaves bottom corners of the iPad bare, prone to scratches and other minor accidents."
  • "The case falls off very easy when attached to the Magic Keyboard and the case covers the volume buttons so good luck trying the change the volume unless you have a child’s fingers not the best."
