Best iPad Pro cases

With every new product that Apple announces, the third-party accessory makers are always right on the ball and get a whole host of cases out there for launch. The iPad Pro is Apple's biggest iPad yet, but that doesn't make it any less portable. Folks are going to toss it in a bag and take it on the road with them. And this little lot will help you take good care of it.

Note: iPad Pro cases are just now coming on the market so we'll be watching carefully and updating this article as new and potentially better options hit!

Apple Smart Keyboard

Apple Smart Keyboard

The smart Keyboard is Apple's own first party case for the iPad Pro, though calling it just a case falls way short. It's like, case plus, since it also includes a full QWERTY keyboard to use with the tablet. It's a little like the Smart Cover that Apple has sold previously for the other iPads in that it covers the back of the tablet, the front when closed and can be used to prop it up as well. Only with this one you can get some work done, too. Pricey, but it covers the bases you'll want with an iPad Pro.

MoKo Apple iPad Pro Case

MoKo is one of those third-party case makers that you can usually find something from for any device. And that includes the iPad Pro. It's been designed to allow easy access to all the controls on the tablet while allowing you to prop it up at a variety of angles for working or when you want to kick back and watch some video. The front cover is padded to protect that all important display, the back is reinforced plastic for durability and protection. And that includes at all four corners. Oh, and there's a neat handstrap attached to help you easier wield your iPad Pro.

At the time of writing Amazon has a steal on this case which is due to ship on November 25.
