iVAPO iPad Pro 10.5 Case with Pencil Holder (Black Denim)
A cheap folio with a useful pencil holder; expect some bulk, lint and patchy auto sleep.

- You want the slimmest possible case
- Lint or dust on the screen will bother you

What owners like

- The pencil holder keeps the pencil in place even when the case is turned upside down
- Port and camera cutouts line up properly
Common complaints

What it does
A budget tri-fold folio case for the 2017 10.5 inch iPad Pro, with a PU leather cover, a TPU back shell and a built-in Apple Pencil holder.
- Built-in holder keeps the Apple Pencil with the iPad, plus a spot to dock it during drawing breaks
- Front cover folds into a stand for video, FaceTime and reading, or a low angle for typing and drawing
- Magnetic closure puts the iPad to sleep and wakes it when the cover opens
- TPU cradle around the back and corners to absorb knocks and scratches
- Cutouts for the speakers, Lightning port and camera
A reasonable low-cost pick for 10.5 inch iPad Pro owners who want somewhere to keep the Apple Pencil and a cover that doubles as a stand. The trade-offs are bulk, a fabric-like finish that The Gadgeteer found shed dust onto the screen, and a magnetic cover that did not always trigger auto sleep in that review.
