Customer Ratings & Reviews

First of all, be aware that the 1-star reviews are because previous packaging for the 2023 iPad Pro case led people to think it fit the M4 Pro but didn’t. In Oct 2024 this an updated case that *does* fit the ipad Pro M4 and the packaging properly indicates 2024 version on it. I’m a Speck fan and have used their cases exclusively for my iPhones for many years. I chose this case for my iPad over a couple of other brands for its slim form and light weight. It gives good protection all the way around, rather than leaving the metal edges of the iPad exposed. The snap tab closure works well and the magnet holds my pencil in place very well. Sleep/wake works great. A major complaint however is that with this color, the purple with light gray interior, it leaves a nasty film of dusty residue all over the iPad glass which is very difficult to remove. See picture. I hope this film is not damaging my glass. I have had to use optical lens cleaner and soft cloth rubbing quite hard multiple sprays to remove the residue. It’s very annoying. I wonder if the black version of this case which has a black interior might be a better choice or if it just leaves a black dusty residue. When you’re putting a case on an item that cost over $1000, famous for its vibrant brilliant screen, you shouldn’t have have to deal with the case dirtying and obscuring the screen. Speck, please do better. Another con is that the stand usn’t very good at staying in tented position, it flops down with any movement.

The box mentions a previous year. Sleep nd wake on opening cover does not work. Called speck who confirmed they knew of the issue but did not have ny options side from returns to store to offer when orobed about the 30 day / 1 year coverage. An absolute waste of time to now have to go to store to drop this off. Buy the apple cover from apple directly instead. Also adding pics of my last speck purchase, the mistakes in design that led to failure are repeated here.

It has a very flexible texture and provides incredibly beautiful and comfortable use.

Nice material. Fit great and protected the iPad as it should.

Great case, great protection, fits good, easy to handle.

The materials are very nice feeling very much feels worth it for the price wish it had a magnetic close rather than a clasp but you get what you payed for. Good tablet stand with multiple screen angle options for easy viewing.

Great fit for my iPad and I like the little magnetic flap over the camera.

The Speck Balance Folio Case is a straightforward yet effective solution for protecting the latest Apple iPad Pro 11”. Its design is simple but functional, offering both a secure cover and a built-in stand for convenient viewing angles. The locking mechanism, made of hard plastic, clicks into place firmly, ensuring a reliable hold. After a week of use, it performs as expected—no frills, just solid protection and practicality.

Nice folio. Nothing wrong with it other than it does not fit a new A16 iPad like the boys at Best Buy send it would. Had to return it and get the right one after I had done my own research.

As of writing this review, there's really not much else on the market in terms of cases for the new ipad. This is a decent case that will work until OtterBox releases their Defender series for the newest generation. If you don't have kids who are not so delicate, this case is fine.

It fits 2024 M4 Ipad but it doesn't auto sleep the ipad. The stand positions aren't great either. Even when I can get it at the angle I want I don't trust it to stay in that position. Waste of money unless you just want a cover. I would look closer at Apples folio, at least until other options are on the market.

The case is decent. Be careful purchasing though, I bought one and ordered it curbside and they brought me a 2023 one. They do have 2024 models, so I exchanged it and that fit perfectly, but the sleep/wale still doesn’t work as advertised so I’m returning it as soon as a new case comes in.

Make sure you buy the right case for the right iPad. I saw other reviews complaining about sleep-wake feature not working, or that it didnt fit. Well the one I bought, the sleep wake feature worked just fine. Bought for iPad Pro M4 11in.

It protect the corners of the ipad and the camara lens!!

Love my new cover for the iPad Pro I bought here. It has a flap that opens so you can easily use the camera, and a space above the hard case so your pencil is safe. It even has a catch at the side to keep the entire case enclosed. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Very good quality and excellent price and last a long time

This case is only good for the new IPad Pro M4 11” until more are released. unfortunately this is one of the only cases available upon release until mid June. Other than the Apple branded cases, which in my opinion are trash and offer little to no protection. CONS: 1. The only 3rd party option upon release For a scary thin iPad 2.FOR THE PRICE IT DOES NOT HAVE WAKE/SLEEP FUNCTIONALITY PRO: 1. Decent pencil protection, Has a clasp that secures over the pencil so it doesn’t just fall off and the cover extends just far enough to keep the pencil unexposed when the folio is closed. 2. Camera bump cover flap secured by magnets (magnets are NOT strong at all)

Fits the new IPad perfectly. Nice quality and easy to use

perfect accompaniment to iPad Pro. cheaper than Amazon
