for iPad Pro 13 inch Case M5/M4 (2025-2024) with Pencil Holder, Enzo Aramid Aerocore Aramid Fiber Magic Keyboard Compatible, Black

Let’s be real: I’m not great with expensive electronics. I’ve dropped phones, dinged tablets, and lived long enough to know that “just the device” always ends with a cracked corner and some regret. So when I got the new 11” iPad Pro M5 — fresh, pristine, and paired with the Apple Magic Keyboard — there was no debate: I needed protection that was functional, slim, and actually felt like it belonged with this level of tech. That’s how I ended up with the Spigen for iPad Pro 11” Case with Aerocore Aramid Fiber. ⸻ First Impressions: Not Another Flimsy Sleeve When it arrived, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Lots of “protective” cases look good in photos and feel like hollow plastic in hand. This one didn’t. The texture and finish immediately set it apart. It feels like a purposeful material — rigid, solid under pressure, and reassuring to hold. The marketing talks about aramid fiber — “military-grade strength” — and while I couldn’t independently verify the lab specs, the build doesn’t feel like something that’s going to flex and fail on impact. It feels engineered, not just molded. ⸻ Fit With the Apple Magic Keyboard: Perfect Match It’s important to understand how this case works because it’s not a traditional full-wrap shell. When paired with the Apple Magic Keyboard, the iPad’s left side is exposed, and that’s by design — and honestly, that’s true for all Magic Keyboard–compatible iPad cases. Apple’s keyboard hinge doesn’t leave room for a protective flap there without interfering. So if you’re relying on this case alone without the Magic Keyboard, you won’t get full edge protection. But here’s the thing: if you do have the Magic Keyboard — and that’s exactly why I bought this — the protection this case adds is spot-on. It protects all the corners, the back, and gives a secure fit that snaps in without fuss. It doesn’t interfere with the keyboard’s magnet alignment, and it doesn’t add enough bulk to make the keyboard feel awkward. That balance is rare. ⸻ Aesthetics: Minimalist Done Well I specifically chose this case because I wanted protection without blunting the look of the device. There are plenty of rugged cases out there that look like they belong on construction sites. That’s not what I wanted. This case feels premium. It’s clean, sleek, and visually complements the iPad Pro rather than hiding it. Black, low-profile, texture that reads as intentional. When I pull this out in a lecture hall or meeting, it looks like a thoughtfully chosen accessory — not an afterthought. Too many protective cases look like bulky armor. This one looks like architecture. ⸻ Everyday Use: Subtle But Reassuring I’m clumsy. I bump edges, set things down without thinking, and occasionally fumble transitions between bags and desks. With this case on, I immediately noticed a change in my behavior — not a cautious shift, but a confidence shift. I wasn’t babying the tablet. I wasn’t sliding it into its compartment sideways and gently. I just used it naturally, knowing any clumsy move was more likely to hit engineered material than a fragile edge. That’s the reason I buy protective gear: not because I think I’ll never make mistakes, but because I know I will — repeatedly. ⸻ Pencil Holder: A Thoughtful Addition The built-in Apple Pencil holder is not the reason you buy this case — but once you have it, you appreciate it. It doesn’t interfere with magnetic charging. It doesn’t make the case bulky. It’s just a small reassurance that your Pencil has a home when you’re switching between typing, sketching, and note-taking. Little details like that, when done right, make a product feel like someone solved a problem they actually understood. ⸻ Who This Is For Buy this if: • You are pairing your iPad with the Apple Magic Keyboard • You want a protective case that still looks aesthetic and minimal • You carry your iPad daily — commuter bag, backpack, briefcase, whatever • You want something that feels engineered and solid, not flimsy Not ideal if: • You do not use the Apple Magic Keyboard (left edge is not covered) • You want heavy-duty rugged protection for drops from significant heights • You prefer ultra-thick, armor-style cases ⸻ Pros • Clean, minimalist design that complements the iPad • Solid aramid-style construction — feels tough, not flimsy • Works seamlessly with the Apple Magic Keyboard • Adds confidence to daily use without adding bulk • Pencil holder is simple and functional Cons • Left edge is open — not a standalone full-wrap case • Not intended for hardcore drop testing or rugged environments ⸻ Final Thoughts: Protection Without Compromise I didn’t buy this case because I wanted to. I bought it because I knew I needed to. And after using it every day, that choice feels validated. It doesn’t look like a rugged tank — it just feels like a high-quality piece of gear that belongs with a premium device. It protects without shouting “I’M A CASE,” and it works with the Magic Keyboard without fight or fuss. For someone who needs protection but still cares about how the device looks and feels, this strikes the right balance. I don’t trust myself with just an iPad anymore. With this case — I finally trust the setup.

I typically use my iPad with the Magic Keyboard. I got this item to have a bit more peace of mind and some light scratch protection for the back/edges, for those times when I do want to take the keyboard off and use it as a proper “tablet” with the pencil. However, I didn’t want a case that needed to be applied/removed to accommodate the keyboard, though. This was my second attempt at purchasing a minimal keyboard-compatible case for this purpose, and I’m thrilled with it. The connection with my keyboard is very consistent and reliable (last product I tried had defective contacts). It offers protection from minimal-mild scratches on the back/edges of the iPad, the magnets are shockingly powerful (will snatch out of your hand to attach, if your grip is loose), and it was very easy to apply (snaps on in less than a minute). Overall, it’s very lightweight and looks great, and will prevent incidental scratches, like from putting the iPad down and picking it up off the table frequently, or similar daily-use wear. My experience has been great, and I don’t think I could be happier with the product. Great job, Spigen.

Works as expected and thicker than other cases comparable (mag easy cover buddy ) while being light . What I mean by thicker is that the coverbudy is a thin plastic cover that I imagine would crack when hit with force from a drop while the Spigen is their special aramid material (feels much more rubbery and hence I interpret it to be more impact resistant mgr Fully compatible with Magic Keyboard and Smart Folio except it won’t stay magnetised shut (could flap open if you shake the I pad hard enough while without the spigen on nether the keyboard nor folio would open). Value for money when compared to other cases is absolutely there (cheaper than their competitors while being higher quality ).

Personally, I don’t see much reason for anyone to buy this case unless they are paring it with the Magic Keyboard (there are obviously others that are cheaper and provide better all around coverage. Therefore, my review will be based partially on its use with the Magic Keyboard. Pros: - Fits in Magic Keyboard and closes easily with no gap (also have a glass screen protector and sheet for paper texture which adds to the thickness by a tiny amount) - Pencil Slot is nice to have as it keeps the pencil in place and protects it well - Pass through charging so the iPad gets charged when the Magic Keyboard is plugged in. Cons: - Doesn’t protect all edges. Also purchased an ESR Keyboard which comes with the internal case that protects all the way around. - Magnets aren’t arranged in a way to allow for vertical positioning. Horizontal/Landscape only. The only reason I bought this case was to work with the Magic Keyboard so the iPad could be charged through the USB-C on the keyboard leaving the iPad’s USB-C free for other uses but it’s a steep price to pay for the convenience. $55 for this cover, ~$300 for the keyboard vs. ~$92 for the ESR keyboard/cover that charges separately (which doesn’t need to be done all that often - I haven’t needed to charge the ESR keyboard in the month that I’ve had it). I got the Magic Keyboard because it would be included in the AppleCare coverage but realistically the ESR case could be replace 3x for the price of the Magic Keyboard+Spigen case. If i had to do it all over again, I’d just stick with the ESR. *If considering the Magic Keyboard (i cant imagine anyone wanting this case otherwise), it should be noted that the Magic Keyboard has no battery. It runs off the iPad’s battery.

Compré este case para mi iPad Pro M4 11”, confiando en la reputación de la marca y los materiales de alta calidad. Sin embargo, me llevé una gran decepción con el diseño. A pesar de que el fabricante asegura que es compatible con el Magic Keyboard, la realidad es que no lo es al 100%. Como mencionan otras reseñas, el case impide que el Magic Keyboard se cierre completamente. Cuando la iPad está sobre un escritorio, el peso de la tablet permite que el teclado se cierre, pero si intento ponerlo de lado para guardarlo en una mochila, se abre. Esto es un gran inconveniente para cuando se quiere guardar verticalmente, dependes de tener peso o algo que lo presione. Considerando el precio tan elevado del producto, no lo vale. Es una pena porque tenía grandes expectativas por la reputación de la marca y porque no he encontrado otro case que funcione correctamente con el magic keyboard, pero definitivamente no lo recomiendo si planeas usarlo así. Fuera de eso, los imanes, los materiales y las funciones con el magic keyboard cuando está abierto, si funciona correctamente.

I’m just sad because the case looks and feels high quality. However this is only meant for those who want to use it with the original apple magic keyboard. The keyboard doesn’t fully close with case on. And the gap is really huge and can’t be accepted. It doesn’t seem to be screen protector issue. The rear side of the case lifts the keyboard and keeps it opened. And this gap is enough to wake the screen and reduces the battery life. It can’t be fixed until spigen offers a reviewed design. This is a lost chance for a great quality case. Not sure if it was tested before launch or was just accepted to the designers. But to users it’s not really accepted at all for such a price

A good case and compatible with the keyboard. Seems sturdy and well made, with space for an apple pencil (or third party accessory). The whole lot still fits nicely in the sleeve.

Me animé a pedir esta funda, si bien los ipad, y más los últimos m4 que son extremadamente finos, la sensación en mano en su manejo, es genial. No quería una funda que hiciera perder esa sensación. La sopresa fué encontrarme esta, de la marca Spigen (marca muy reconocida en fundas y accesorios de apple, no se si de otras marcas), y encima con parte trasera de aramida (kevlar), lo cual es ideal por su resistencia, ligereza, y que respecto a radiofrecuencia, es transparente (no opaca como puede ser la fibra de carbono. Como muestro en el video (el cual estoy grabando a una mano. La funda es muy ligera, hecha en su mayor parte de un plastico duro, de tacto gomoso, y que su aplicación al ipad M4 se puede realizar con una sola mano. El espesor de la funda es muy pequeño (según el calibre 1,6mm, lo cual no le da sensación de grosor. En las esquinas este grosor es un poco mayor, para protección, lo cual me parece bien pensado. Es una funda ideal, si no se quiere alterar mucho el tacto del ipad, darle protección, y además (y particularmente en este modelo), es el que uno haga un uso frecuente del pencil (para el cual tiene una protuberancia que hace de hueco, y lo sostiene totalmente mientras permite su carga). No recomendaría esta funda, si no tienes pencil, o no lo usas con frecuencia, y para ello te recomendaría otro modelo que es más case, y no tiene el acople del pencil. La funda permite su uso sin problema con el magic keyboard de apple -para el ipad M4 (de hecho trae por detrás los 3 pines de carga-comunicación que usa), e incluso con el uso de fundas de transporte como la de pitaka MagEZ Folio 2, que si bien no es perfecto el acople, permite su uso sin problemas, para poder meterlo en un maletin y tener.la pantalla protegida. Me gusta especialmetne que esta funda no altera las posibilidades que tiene Si reseñaria algunos puntos que podrían mejorar. La lamina de aramida tiene un función estética, pero no estructural. Hay fundas en el mercado que son completas de aramida (kevlar), y si eres un amante de los composites, lo puedes pensar, si bien el precio no es el de esta funda, sino mucho mayor (por lo que aqui hay un balance bueno entre utilidad-estetica-precio). Los botones, traen un "sobre-botón" del mismo material que la funda, que los protege, pero en el caso del botón de "subir volumen", quizá es algo duro Por otro lado, la funda permite la entrada de todo tipo de usb-c (he probado más anchos, más cortos, o como pongo en una foto, uno angulado 90ª, y sin problema. En resumen; -buena funda, que ojala fuera entera de aramida, pero cumple su función de proteger sin agregar grosor o mal tacto (el tacto gomoso, es muy muy agradable). SOLO la recomendaria, si usas con frecuencia el apple pencil, o te gusta tenerlo junto al ipad sin posibilidad de perderlo. SI NO es tu caso, el uso de apple pencil, spigen tiene otros modelos sin el apple pencil, que están muy bien, y te recomendaria antes que esta funda. Tiene 5 estrellas porque es un producto que volvería a comprar, y recomendaría a un amigo que lo comprara

This cover provides good protection for the iPad Pro M4. However, it should be noted that when used in combination with the Magic Keyboard, the cover does not close completely, which prevents the iPad’s sleep function from working. I personally use an elastic band to keep the cover and keyboard together, which works well. Due to the high quality and attractive design, I award four stars, but I cannot give five stars because the cover does not close properly when used with the Magic Keyboard.
