If you’re in the market for a new tablet, the iPad Pro 2021 is a no-brainer. It has the new M1 chip, 5G connectivity, and the bigger 12.9-inch model even has a mini-LED display. Just the specs don’t tell you the entire story though, so you might want to check out our iPad Pro 2021 review before making a buying decision. This article however deals with a buying decision you have to make once you’ve already purchased the iPad Pro – a protective and functional case. Here are some of the best 11-inch iPad Pro cases that you can buy based on your needs. We also have a list of the best cases for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro in case you went with the bigger variant. Please ensure you pick the right size cases for your iPad Pro as the dimensions obviously vary.

As the name suggests, this is a clear case that doesn’t necessarily offer a ton of drop protection but is good enough to protect against scratches. Get this if you don’t want to change the look of your iPad.

The Speck Presidio case is a folio or a flip case for the iPad Pro that looks stealthy with its matte black color. Being a folio case, you can use it to prop the iPad up at different angles which can be helpful while you’re consuming content.

This is just like any other folio case but with one speciality. You can adjust the angle at which you want your iPad to rest in the horizontal position using the grooves given on the back of the case. If you watch a lot of content, you might find this useful.

This is one of the most affordable keyboard cases you can buy for the iPad Pro. It doesn’t come with a trackpad though but you can’t really expect a lot at this price point. If you want a cheap keyboard case, this is a good option.

These were some of the best iPad Pro cases in our opinion for the new 11-inch variant. Note that the dimensions of the 11-inch iPad Pro 2021 haven’t changed from previous years’ models, unlike the 12.9-inch model, so older cases will also work well with the 2021 iPad Pro. If you want to get serious work done, we would highly recommend getting Apple’s Magic Keyboard or if you think it’s too expensive, you can get the Logitech Folio which offers similar functionality. For the best protection, we would suggest going for the Spigen Tough Armor.
Most of the cases we mentioned here should work well with the Apple Pencil or have a dedicated cavity to slot it in since the iPad Pro itself charges the pencil. If you’re getting a third-party keyboard case, the chances are it may not natively support the iPad OS gestures, so that’s something to keep in mind. While a good case may protect your iPad Pro from scratches and occasional drops, you might also consider getting Apple Care+ with your iPad to make sure it’s protected from accidental damages as well.
