I am actually jealous. I ordered my sleeve and folio they day that I could place the order a few weeks ago. Still waiting. The stand is interesting, but I have other ways to use my decked out iPad when I pull it out of the magic case. I ordered and am using another folio from Amazon, because I knew I'd have a wait. The folio with the sleeve seems perfectas a "writing" combo, when I want to use the pencil. And then, easily replaced into the magic keyboard when I want typing productivity. It was nice to see the products. Now I'm even more anxious for mine to be delivered. Thanks for the video.
Does the MagEZ sleeve for the M1 iPad fit with the old magic keyboard? I’m just curious if the case can still close flush since the M1 iPad is a little thicker than the old one.
@@ItsCaputo Yes, but the Mag EZ Case 2. I have the 1st gen Mag EZ Case and it does not fit with my M1 iPad Pro. So, M1 iPad Pro + Mag EZ Case 2 + 1st gen Magic Keyboard
I plan to get the folio as I have to read for school and I find it more comfortable to just read like a book than to keep in on the MK and try to read it like that on the couch.
do you know if the pitaka magEZ case for the ipad pro 2021 works with a apple official smart folio case? or would i need to get the magEZ folio as well for compatibility’s sake?
Yes, I am using the folio with the 2021 12.9 iPad Pro and I did a quick search and found that their website shows it as compatible. www.ipitaka.com/products/magez-folio?variant=39356266840134
Hi. Do you know whether the 2018/2020 MagEZ Case 2 is compatible with the 2021 IPad Pro? Or vice versa? I’ve noticed that the 2018/2020 and 2021 MagEZ Case 2 have the same dimensions.
I supposed the stand could be used with another case, but it would need to be magnetized. And thanks for the reminder, there’s a magnetic sticker included in the stand packaging so that it could be used with a different case or tablet.
@@ItsCaputo OK Thanks. There’s so many stands for the iPad at this moment that’s difficult to choose the one that best fit your needs. Maybe you could do such a test?… Cheers.
@@ItsCaputo Right, it would be good if Folio’s magnets keep the case the same way as the Stand (noticed you were shaking the stand and case was in place still. Curious if the same is between folio and case with ipad attached
what's the difference between the 1st gen and 2nd gen cases? i'm looking at one for my ipad air 4th gen and it says there is the cheaper first gen or the more expensive 2nd gen.
If you plan to use the case with the MagEZ stand or folio, you want to get the MagEZ case 2 since it includes the stronger magnet built into the case. Otherwise, the cheaper option will work for your needs. www.ipitaka.com/collections/case-for-ipad-pro
Fantastic and informative video. Thank you for taking the time for a thorough breakdown. I am thinking of getting this case and using it along side the premium Kensington dock. The Kensington dock is designed flush with no room for a case. Do you feel this case will allow the iPad to fully seat into the Kensington stand whilst remaining on? Your insight will be much appreciated before I make the purchase. Thanks in advance. Kindest regards, Minesh.
What is that color pallete thingy? I've seen it in some other videos and it looks like a cool accessory! I'm a graphic designer so its just seems like a cool thing to have
As always so Thanks for all of the reviews!, I was actually looking forward for a protective slim case that I could combine with other accessories, so this solution it’s what I was Looking for! PD: Sorry for the basic question, 4:40 What’s that widget or how did you configure one to take hand written notes on the fly right from the widget itself?
Sorry for the delay in responding to your question. This is the new, system-wide quick notes widget in iPadOS 15. You can open the widget by dragging your finger (or the pencil) up from the bottom right-hand side of the screen and it can be positioned any where on the screen.
@@ItsCaputo Hey Michael!, thanks a lot for making the time to reply nevertheless, much appreciated!. I’d research more about the new IPadOs release, but thanks again for the clarification!
How hard is the case, please? I wanted an iPad, but I'm super afraid of bending, even though I'm always really careful with my stuff. Being able to have a stand like this, and added folio, and being compatible with the magic keyboard that I could buy later on seems really good.
I would not call the case rigid since it’s a composite material of plastic frame with aramid fiber. Honestly if you are worried about bending the iPad, this probably isn’t the best case for you. Something like the combo touch from Logitech is a better option.
@@ItsCaputo Thank you for the reply Michael. I also considered that one, but it apparently covers one of the microphones, and partially some of the speakers, making the sound a little bit more muffled by what I saw on reviews.
I own both keyboards and I haven't experienced what you're describing. I'm using a 2021 12.9 with the case designed for the same model. Based on what you're saying, it sounds like you have a different model?
I have used the previous gen of MagEZ case (Ipad pro 12.9 2018 model). I can confirm it´s not that protective. Especially the plastic frame on the side. In fact, after few months the plastic on one place started to break and piece of it fell off. So it´s more about aesthetic and magnetic function, not that much about protection.
@@martinsurovy427 Thank you Martin. That's very helpful. I ended up not purchasing the iPad because I still think it's too much cash on an extremely fragile device that is supposed to be mobile. If I can't carry it around, kind of defeats the purpose. I got a Sonos Arc instead with the spare money I had haha
The use of the word “sleeve” is getting to me. I love this case though. I’ve bought all 3 products. The stand is so nice!!!!!! I haven’t received my folio yet though. Awesome video!
Hey on the Pitaka’s website it stated that Folio ships mid August, I ordered only the case and the folio, not the stand. Haven’t received anything yet, ordered since day 1 it dropped on pitaka’s website.
Bought the MagEz sleeve for $69 and wanted to really like it. However, it broke after 8 months right near the power button and speaker grill. The plastic it too thin right there. I’ve contacted support and am waiting to see if they will replace it. Pretty expensive for such a flimsy case. I’m pretty sure many users will experience this issue.
Thanks for commenting, Guy. I haven't experienced what you're describing, but it doesn't seem unreasonable that you did based on the comments I've read.
I have been contacted by customer support and they are indicating that they will replace my case. I had to send in a picture of the broken location and the serial number. The place where the plastic separates is only about 1/8 to 1/16 of an inch wide.
@@ItsCaputo Tech support came through! They sent me a new case. It looks like it could break away in the same place, since the design is the same, but they definitely have good customer support.
@@ItsCaputo Currently I gave up on a case for the 2021 12.9” and it stays on my magic keyboard (dare I say as my main computer, lol 🤣). My 2020 11” I gave my wife with the new Logitech combo touch we occasionally use if I need to use it an iPad 🤷🏾♂️
It´s really a problem to find good protective case. Same experience with the MagEZ case. I myself also use only the magic keyboard as a "case." And during a travel, where I expect harsher conditions, I move it to something like ZUGU or UAG, with external keyboard. Far from ideal.
I‘ve got the new 2021 iPad Pro 12,9 Inch and the old 2020 Magic Keyboard. Will the MagEZ Case 2 fit with it?
2021 M1 12.9 iPad Pro + MagEz case + Magic Keyboard (1st gen) = works
2021 M1 12.9 iPad Pro + MagEZ case + Magic Keyboard (2nd gen) = works
@@ItsCaputo nice thank u mate, i‘ll Order mine then
@@ItsCaputo have you tried the OP’s combination?
@@ItsCaputo does option 1 fully close unlike the coverbuddy case with magic keyboard 1
@@quit702 hi did you buy the Pitaka case? Did the magic keyboard fully close?
Just subbed as a 1st time viewer.
Welcome to the club!
Will the case also work with the Apple Magic Keyboard, just like it works with the Apple folio that you demonstrated?
I don’t have a folio case from Apple to confirm but I see no reason why it wouldn’t given it works with the Magic Keyboard.
is the tablet stand height adjustable?
No, unfortunately it’s fixed height
Does the folio “snap” to itself when the front cover is flat against the back of the iPad like the Apple Smart Folio does?
Sorry for the delay. Yes, it does.
@@ItsCaputo thank you!

To confirm, you’re asking if it fits with the following: M1 iPad Pro + MagEZ Sleeve + 1st gen Magic Keyboard, correct?
@@ItsCaputo Yes, but the Mag EZ Case 2. I have the 1st gen Mag EZ Case and it does not fit with my M1 iPad Pro. So, M1 iPad Pro + Mag EZ Case 2 + 1st gen Magic Keyboard
I was able to test the 2021 iPad Pro + MagEZ case (from the video) + 1st gen Magic Keyboard = works as expected.

Appreciate the support Dan! 🍻
I plan to get the folio as I have to read for school and I find it more comfortable to just read like a book than to keep in on the MK and try to read it like that on the couch.
I seem to go through this phase where I like folios and then I don't. Right now, I am in the latter camp.
How about this to work on bridge max+ keyboard.?
No, it will not fit on the Brydge 12.9 Max+

No, the height of the stand is fixed.

Pitaka have stated that the folio is not compatible with the 2021 M1 12.9 inch iPad Pro. Were you using a 12.9 inch iPad?

Can you use the stand without the case? Or can it be used with any other case?….

@@ItsCaputo OK Thanks. There’s so many stands for the iPad at this moment that’s difficult to choose the one that best fit your needs. Maybe you could do such a test?… Cheers.

How does MagEZ Folio keep MagEZ Case with iPad? Looks MagEZ Stand does very well.
The folio and the sleeve are magnetic.
@@ItsCaputo Right, it would be good if Folio’s magnets keep the case the same way as the Stand (noticed you were shaking the stand and case was in place still. Curious if the same is between folio and case with ipad attached
I will test that in a few hours. Thanks for the suggestion!
Sorry for the delay. The magnet on the folio is strong and it held up to the same type of shaking that I did with the stand from the video.
