The iPad Pro is here, and if you’ve been lucky enough to pick one up (with both hands no doubt), you’ll want to get that beast some protection. Over the past few iPad releases, smart cases and covers have grown in popularity. These are cases which are compatible with the iPad Pro’s sleep/wake function, allowing you to turn on the screen by simply opening the front cover. There are already a wide range of iPad Pro smart cases to choose from, so here are our top picks.
VRS Dandy
A stylish, versatile smart case. With extra storage slots, a magnetic fastening and smart sleep/wake functionality this is a premium case for your premium device.
It’s available in Dark Brown, Black and Wine Red and has a soft microfiber lining on the inside.

Official Apple iPad Pro Smart Cover
A good place to start is with the familiar official Smart Cover from Apple. It clips seamlessly to your iPad Pro using the built-in magnets, protecting the screen when idle and doubling up as a stand when your tablet is in use. It’s worth bearing in mind that the Smart Cover is only for the front of your device, leaving the back, corners and sides exposed so if you’re after some protection for your iPad Pro, you’d be well advised to consider some third party options.
Olixar Folding Stand iPad Pro Smart Case
This iPad Pro smart case from Olixar is a great alternative to Apple’s offerings. Unlike the official cover, it features both front and back protection with a durable polycarbonate shell to clip your tablet into while maintaining the viewing stand functionality. The back is transparent too, so you don’t have to hide away the colour you agonised over choosing when you purchased your new iPad Pro.

Macally BookStand iPad Pro Smart Case
Another good option is the Macally BookStand case. Just like the Olixar Folding Stand case, you get front and back protection with a premium Polyurethane finish (no I’m not sure what that is either, but it certainly feels nice). The front cover folds over to act as a stand, so you can watch your movies or use an external keyboard in comfort. It’s available in black or a striking red, which should compliment your iPad Pro nicely.
Light Grace Leather iPad Pro Smart Case
If leather is more your thing or if you have an executive image to maintain, then look no further than this smart case from Light Grace. It’s quite rare to find a leather iPad Pro smart case but Light Grace have pulled it off well with a transparent polycarbonate back providing anti-crash and anti-shock protection for good measure. There’s a nice selection of colours with the case available in black, red or gold.
Logitech Create Any Angle iPad Pro Stand Case
Most iPad Pro cases with stand functionality only let you view at certain angles, depending either on the number of grooves in the cover or how many different ways the cover can be folded. The Create Any Angle case from Logitech however, has a 60 degree adjustable stand on a smooth gliding hinge so you can set your iPad Pro quickly and firmly into place for any activity. There is a nice distinctive finish to the case too with Logitech opting for a water repellent and “tightly woven premium fabric” on the outside.
