Great review. I highly recommend you look at the cases before you start the review, It’s frustrating to watch and wait for you to realize how each case works. Also hard to trust your opinion if you’re clearly only going off of first impressions. Other than that, super helpful.
Indeed. I want as solid input as possible before making a decision. I’ve had numerous occasions of having to return or being disappointed with a purchase, sometimes not being able to return it to the seller. Going with the flow is entertaining, but with lack of know-how and time with the product, it’s almost makes these videos redundant.
The iPad works amazingly the box came a little dirty, czcams.com/users/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA no plastic wrap, but the box was sealed and had everything else in the box along with the wrapping, the iPad itself is gorgeous, I got the yellow 64g game storage is good for me along with Socials and school stuff. No scratches or marks came with the charger and box fast speed, and if you are buying a pen get the 1st gen don’t make the mistake I did !!
A fair warning against Fintie's case: It is not made for the ipad pro 11". The top and bottom parts of the ipad don't align with the ipad pro speakers because it was not designed for the ipad pro; It happened to fit since its the same size as the other ipads so the sellers just marketed it as compatible with the pro. If you don't really care too much about blocking the speakers then it's really no big deal though.
i have been looking everywhere for a nice and simple iPad Pro case and just few minutes into the video I found something I really like, I'm getting the ESR one, thank you so much for the video
Thank you for making this video! These REALLY help since there aren't that many options on Amazon, and you going through each case thoroughly without any bias also helps. I decided to go with the ESR Magnetic case since its able to protect the front while also snapping to the back while flat. Would love to have just gotten a front magnetic cover that's also detachable like how Apple used to make then but unfortunately there aren't any options.
Thank you for the reviews. TBH none of them look particularly comfortable to hold onto. Presently i keep mine in a clear soft vinyl shell and I think i will just stay like that. Its simple and effective with a side groove for the pencil and no extra flaps falling all over the place. The shock shell looks interesting but reviews on amazon say the screen protector does not stay flat and collects a lot of dust 😒
I recommend three other brands. 1- Spigen : slim and good protection all the edges of the iPad but there is a problem.The Apple Pencil can’t be charged when you put on the edge.Unfortunately I had to cut the case edge to be able the pencil be charging. 2- Nillkin : Very good protection and a bit ticker than Spigen. 3- Seymac : Absolutely the best 360 degrees protection. Double layer & preowned screen protector that amazingly fits the screen. Of course I had to make & cut a hole of the case to be connected with Apple Pencil, but not the whole edge cut off like for Spigen case. The Seymac is a phenomenal case. A bit bulky but definitely worth
@@enterclassroom2661 I do have all of three brands. Nillkin is much more protective than Spigen. My recommendation is definietly to Nillkin. You won't be upset with Nillkin 👍
ESR for me as i also have magic keyboard too. Magnetic case makes it easier to remove and the flap is what i like as it can cover pencil and when not in used, it can be folded magnetically too. Lastly it is absolutely minimum and light weight.
Bought the ESR case right after I watched your review the other day and got it a few days ago, it's a great case! Thanks for the review, used your link as well🙂
This video helped me out a lot in picking my iPad Pro case…. And also not wasting my time searching for cases u helped me out a lot… Soo a big thank you for that..
Incredible review, you've helped me decide that the ESR case best fits my style of use. I'll be picking it up using the affiliate link in the description so I can help out as much as I can :)

I really enjoy the quality (audio and video) and the fact that you're not a content-farm trying to sell affiliate links without actually having gotten your hands on the product. That said, I would suggest in the future that you go through a dry run of all the products PRIOR to recording -- or at least re-record segments where there are issue. I say this because it's obvious that you haven't actually used these products before. With the first case you didn't even realize that the flap (over the pencil) was magnetic in the back so that it wouldn't "flap" and with the second case you didn't realize that you were supposed to use the provided hole in the back to push the pencil out from the case, etc., etc. While some people may argue that it's good to see these slip-ups as a "true first-time reaction," I would argue that the benefit of that is extremely minor and short-lived -- but what remains is a less-than-confident feeling about these cases. I, like many, are looking for a strong opinion, rather than a "unboxing" or "first thoughts" type video. I'm not trying to knock you too hard on this, as I really think you have a good mix of information vs. time spent on-screen and the production quality is good... so take my comments as one person's suggestions. :)
I already own the Apple Smart Keyboard and Folio cases, and a UAG case for my M1 11inch, but man those ZtoTop cases are extremely tempting! May have to check them out! Thanks for the review!
Setting your standards to “realistic expectations” can help when you chose a case. If it’s not the protection is the pencil attachment or the flappy cover or the fake leather feeling or the magnet on the back or the handle jeezzz better keep it I the box it came in. Btw now we know where all the “as is” Amazon items come from
Warning: The ESR really looks great and magnetic is really strong but it really reduce your connection speed. My wifi is pretty average and I can watch the CZcams Video without problem without the case, but it keeps lagging when I put on the case. I tried testing the speed and it was 10+ mbps without the case, but it dropped to 2-3 mbps when I put on the case. Just a reminder for those of us who already has slow connection.
Thank you for the video. I purchased ZtoTop Shock Case on Nov 4. Hope Amazon credited your affiliate bonus :-) Reason for choosing it was that it is most protective, very reasonably priced and has a pink version appealing to a little girl who is not very careful with devices so extra protection that this case provides is very important.
I have the Logitech Combo Touch for my 11" Pro, and im at the same intersection. I'm looking for a light slim case for casual usage and just note taking etc....
Thanks I've chosen as well the 11" just as an intermediate device as suggested brillantely by you. I've seen a couple of shot from you on the glacier are you here in switzerland? Thanks, Max
Thanks for sharing this. However, I have trouble believing these are truly your “top 5” since it’s pretty clear this is your first time interacting with these cases.
I bought this case for my iPad Pro 11 and I was very disappointed. I guess the company has issues with quality control, the Case I bought has no magnetic hold whatsoever. The iPad just slides right off with no magnetic hold
not sure why i was recommended this video, i have no interest in cases. i go raw, no case or protector. but if im packing the ipad with a bunch of stuff in a bag, then i use a cheap case just for the front cover to avoid scratches. i dont even use cases or screen protector on my phone. proving how much i dont like cases, simply they add extra bulk, mostly arent seamless with the device and take away from the feel of the device. anyway cool video, i watched through if any of what was showcased could convince me, none of them did.
@@sebastianvico9507 yes, its a really good case but so are most of these cases in this video are good and would fit specific people. i like the zugu and the ztoTop case for their kickstand and i could use that occasionally, but ive come to realize generally cases are just not for me. ive got at least 5 cases for my iphone and i felt one wasnt good and kept buying another and another, but now not using any. ive got two cases for my ipad pro but not using any. the pleasure i get holding the devices itself is lost when i use a case and the cases add bulk. so i use cases for transportation. i recently bought a new smaller phone because i considered my phone too bulky little did i know it was the screen protector that i subconsciously didnt like, after i took it off now i like it more and use the old phone more than the new one. in summary, try everything and find what works for you. i might get the ztop or zugu case just for that occasional times where i need a kick stand tho.
hello there, is the material of ESR which is in contact with the screen as good as apple? Hope it doesn't scratches the screen. It looks really well. kind greetings ruud
You are trying to present us something you do not know as with the esr magnetic case . The title of the video is top 5 iPad Pro 11 cases . So this is your top 5?apple Magic Keyboard case and apple folio in not included in your top 5 ?otter box cases are not included ? You could easily name the video top 5 worst cases .very low level thinking presentation and case selection.
Just use a sleeve. I never understand why Apple makes great looking iPad backsides and people covering them up. It just does not hold well. Since my magnetic Torro case was ruined in 7 months time because it just was not made to it off continously I went for a nice leather sleeve. And it may not be ideal, but it suits my needs pretty well. Downsides are nog being able to charge when in a sleeve and the occasional need for a separate stand.

ya i was gonna say it also would have been good to see how that affects the accuracy and overall function of the pencil too
have u looked into zugu cases? i have one and can't recommend it enough

i recommend another brand, Zugu case

I chose the Logitech Combo Touch keyboard case. It offers full protection and a detachable keyboard providing the best of both worlds.
Do you have it? If yes, how's it holding up?

I chose the ESR Magnetic Case! Thank you for the reviews!!
Lovely Introduction
They need to make more cases that ARENT folds / folios
The new Origrid iPad Pro case looks nice
Id like to see more protective cases ipad type. Protective but able to use paper like a screen covers for 11”. Thanks.

Bought the Fintie case in his Composition book version and looks very cool
What you didn't show in your test is that the ESR is SOO flimsy, that the tri-fold does NOT stay in place when you lift the iPad up.
And it weighs about twice the weight of the ipad
I have the iPad Air you have helped tremendous thank you
Great review thank you 👍☘️ liked the 2 nd one the best for me 👍
I enjoyed this video
Nice review, thank you so much
Beautiful
Nice video!

what wifi spec is that? I'm using Wifi 6 and get the full speed off my router with the ESR case, 31 Mbps.
Why is your internet so slow lol
abs perfectttt video thx god I found u
This is nice. Thanks!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Where did u get that wallpaper from? Looks stunning!
Hansdome EDC you got there :)
I love the Otterbox cases check them out. They are expensive but great
Which one? The lastest version of the Otterbox 360 symmetry got a lot of negative reviews because the pencil holder was not well designed.

Nice ZT 0562 you got there 👍
I like tech and knives!
So what’s the best?
Btw you asked me to rate your video I gave you 5 stars good effort
I actually almost brake the magic keyboard
cause I thought I could fold it all the way
Just bought a 11” Pro. Researching for a case and found this. Very helpful information .
That’s a dope shirt tho lol 😂💪🏽
Ye I just returned the apple one and order ztotop one by your link

I’ve been in the shower and your still going 😂
My issue with the Fintie case is that aggressive bezel wanted to peel my screen protector off.
Hello, big thanks for you video. I need a information, what is for you the best cover with vertical view ?
Thanks for the review, was it hard to get the iPad out of the ZtoTop Shock Case?
One question. What pocket knife is that kershaw or possibly a hinderer?
It’s a Zero Tolerance knife. 🤘
I’m looking for a single clip on back case, and can’t find any.I don’t want the sleep cover.
Thanks for sharing this. However, I have trouble believing these are truly your “top 5” since it’s pretty clear this is your first time interacting with these cases.
They are not my top 5, they are the top 5 rates cases on Amazon at the time that I purchased to review.
I’m still curious about the last case that has the cover over the display - does that clear cover change the display in any way?
Does the first one you showed have the alcantara suede in the interior to protect the glass? The ESR model.
I love your reviews but damn you’re handsome 😍
