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
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.

It's a TPU shell case that will only protect the back, but it covers all four corners and the edges so will protect the metal casing from falls.

Inateck Felt Sleeve
Felt sleeves are great at protecting your devices in a bag while also having a bit of style to go with. The Inateck is good for not just your iPad Pro but also carrying a MacBook, too. Right up to the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display. What's extra special about this particular sleeve is that it's built from some pretty sturdy stuff and can actually act as a laptop stand. The felt is mold and wear resistant and has a great feel to it. There are two pockets inside to carry an iPad Pro or MacBook and a smartphone, while smaller items like a mouse can be stashed away in the rear. And the velcro closing will ensure that your Apple products are safe and sound when you throw it in a bag.
