I had both the Apple Smart Folio and ESR one but what I ultimately ended up with is the Pitaka MagEZ Folio 2 because it has a leatherish exterior while maintaining the microfiber interior. In addition, it also has a portrait orientation and the Apple Pencil Pro flap can be hidden INSIDE the case when not used giving it a very sleek and flush look. But what is actually pretty cool is you can also pair it with their own MagEZ case which not only also adds another layer of slim protection, it’s also compatible with the Magic Keyboard so I don’t have to keep popping my iPad in and out of a another case whenever I want to switch to using the Magic Keyboard. It’s an absolute game changing case IMO.
I’ve given a lot of thought into buying the Pitaka Mag Ez I have their phone case, but I’ve heard for the iPad. The case does not close properly with the Magic Keyboard. Do you know if they fixed that at all? Thanks!
I also use many ESR products and enjoy them. I have the ESR paper screen protector for my m4 pro. I chose to buy the Pitaka case to use when I’m not using the Magic Keyboard. So far I’m enjoying all the different solid angles that the Pitaka offers.
My all time favorite case is the Zugu ❤ for my 12.9 ipad pro. It protects the corners, gives 10 angles for propping, has an inset magnetic area for the pencil which has never allowed the pancil to become inadvertantly detached, multiple colors to choose from, ipad buttons fit perfectly, never binding. I would never consider another case after using this Zugu. It is so sturdy that after all these years of use, it shows absolutely no signs wear - it looks and performs as if it is brand new.
That iPad is humongous, I just ordered one and should get it in a few days, hope my hands can hold it, I definitely need a good case for it, I also ordered some accessories about a month after the new iPad launched including the esr and the Apple keyboard case, I ended up with both cause the esr is really heavy, but I see what they were trying to do, it’s neat, really like the pencil holder part, I also ordered that magnetic rotating case but returned it because of the weight 😊
Thanks for this video. And I like the Apple one so much put the another one was actually the same and not expensive I think I will buy the another one or the Apple case and thanks for this video 😁
I got the iPad Pro 13 inch fully loaded, it cost me a bundle. It's still in the box, I'm too scared to take it out, I'm still wait for the screen protector. I will also order the ESR protection cover, this one basically. I will keep it in the box until I receive it. This is my first new iPad in 6 years, I don't want things to go wrong, I have to get it right.
I ordered the product directly from their official website, its been over 3 weeks now and still I’m waiting for it, neither I’m getting any kind of proper support n even tried to contact them from different platform but they are just ignoring
Yikes! I am so sorry you’re experiencing that. Try contacting them again maybe? If that doesn’t work, cancel the order and purchase it from my amazon link! It will be at your doorsteps in just a few days!
I just ordered the ESR Rebound folio and can't wait for it to arrive. My decision was based on the affordability and the addition of the case flap for my apple pencil pro 😊
@@FaizAly The folio arrived today and it fits/feels excellent! It's perfect for holding my ipad when I'm not needing the magic keyboard. I am impressed with ESR 😁👍
I love reading the comments from all the apple fan boys/girls. They really drank the kool-aid. The apple folio is trash compared to most 3rd party ones but they don’t hold a candle to the ESR ones. The same goes for their iPhone accessories such as cases charging devices etc. it’s not even close
My experience is completely different. I have used 3 ESR folio cases over the last few years. And 2 or 3 Apple folio cases. The ESR ones feel so much thicker and heavier, although the differences are probably minimal. The ESR cases also have a much shorter lifespan. My Apple folio cases still look almost like new after years. The ESR cases look terrible after just one or two years. In the end, in my experience and in my humble opinion, the Apple cases are actually cheaper ;-)
Does yours feel a little loose? Mine just doesn’t seem as snug but I LOVE the pencil flap Looking for a work around for the Magic Keyboard bc the pencil will fall 200% of the time 🤦🏻♀️ I’d love if you looked at Mission Leather Co bc I’m nervous to bang up the Magic Keyboard in the bag 😮💨😮💨😮💨
Mine feels very well fitted! Just to confirm, did you make sure they sent you the one for the new iPad Pro not the older one? The new one is a lot slimmer so I wonder if it’s the older one you have on. I have a great product I will be reviewing soon for the Magic Keyboard that will solve the pencil issue - stay tuned for that!
I don’t agree. I have both for my iPad Pro 11” and I prefer the Apple one : I think it’s because it’s thinner and simpler and I prefer the quality of the Apple flip case too. I bought the ESR first when I bought my iPad, but then I bought the Apple Folio case cheaper than the real price and now, I don’t use the ESR anymore.
So true. I always go back the apples folio. I’m sure the guy is getting paid somehow. My last apple folio is still going strong 4 years now on my iPad Pro 2020. I use disinfectant wipes to clean it. I recently got the pitaka but I’m now regretting returning the apple folio for the m4. I got the nano screen so I think the apple folio protects it best. The pitaka one has a slight gap for their other case that’s not even available right now. That $$$ price protected my naked screen for 4 years. I once used the Zhu on my naked screen and I ended up with a 1 inch scratch on it. I think it’s the way the cover attaches to the naked screen that keeps it protected. Regardless to say, I’m returning the pitaka and getting the apple folio again. Not even considering the ear this time around.
Nah he is not necessarily getting paid. The ESR is a tough, beautiful case with the same functionality as Apple’s case, PLUS the pencil flap AND it’s 1/4 the price
I have this case!! I highly recommend it. It’s amazing especially for its price

Dropped my esr case and completed dented the unlock button. It doesnt click now. I will get the magnetic one with more protection.
I also use many ESR products and enjoy them. I have the ESR paper screen protector for my m4 pro. I chose to buy the Pitaka case to use when I’m not using the Magic Keyboard. So far I’m enjoying all the different solid angles that the Pitaka offers.
Will be reviewing that case next!
@@FaizAly awesome. Like you mentioned in this review, I know it’s not leather but it has a great feeling to it. Looking forward to your review
Great case! Just bought one using your link. Excited for it to arrive!
Damn. The flap really sells it for me. Also, complete side note, but: where do you get your shirts? Looks great.
Haha thanks! I shop at Banana Republic and Ralph Lauren

Too tight. Can’t get it off. Causes screen protector to buckle in corners.
I own it too and LOVE LOVE LOVE it, after ordering and returning a zillion cases I stick with this winner 🥇
It’s a winner indeed!
Me too
ESR is paying a bunch of youtubers for positive reviews. Just remember that.
I get offers all the time, but I only review products I genuinely use on a daily basis and are of high quality. Just remember that.
i have it by my self and the qualityis amazing
I have the ESR Shift on my iPad Pro 13 M4, it works fantastically well for all of my needs.
@@RedCan_Rick Hey looks guys, there’s one.
@@MultiPcExpertGhost what, a real life end-user/customer?? ESR offers great products. Would you like a full product review and testimonial?
Excellent suggestion of ESR- thank you
Your welcome!

Glad it was helpful!
@@FaizAly 😁
are there any ipad air 11 inch cases without stands if there are can you let me know?
I absolutely love the ESR folio case even more than Apple just cuz of the flap protecting the pencil 😅
I got the iPad Pro 13 inch fully loaded, it cost me a bundle. It's still in the box, I'm too scared to take it out, I'm still wait for the screen protector.

Be sure to use my link in the description when you get the ESR case!
I’m an ESR fanboy as well
Their products are top notch
Do you think that the white or black cover is better for the space black version of the ipad pro m4?
Space black obviously
13inch 🎉 is amazing
This is very good case but how is the protection on the bezel when using the case?
It does a great job protecting the display and bezel with the cover on! It also doesn’t open up like Apple one because of it’s flap
@@FaizAly wow, that's very interesting, so which do you think is better between the ESR rebound magnetic case and the ESR rebound hybrid case 360?
I ordered the product directly from their official website, its been over 3 weeks now and still I’m waiting for it, neither I’m getting any kind of proper support n even tried to contact them from different platform but they are just ignoring
Yikes! I am so sorry you’re experiencing that. Try contacting them again maybe? If that doesn’t work, cancel the order and purchase it from my amazon link! It will be at your doorsteps in just a few days!
Is there one for the iPad Air m2 13 inch?
Yes! Here’s the link: amzn.to/4dXVIC7
does ESR case front cover magnetize fully with back cover like the smart folio?
Yes and you have a magnetic flap to hold it in place
@@FaizAly but does the flap stick well to the front if the stylus isn't attached?
@@Lena-fw9zd it does indeed!
@@FaizAly that's good to know, thank you!
I just ordered the ESR Rebound folio and can't wait for it to arrive. My decision was based on the affordability and the addition of the case flap for my apple pencil pro 😊
You will absolutely love it!
@@FaizAly The folio arrived today and it fits/feels excellent! It's perfect for holding my ipad when I'm not needing the magic keyboard. I am impressed with ESR 😁👍
Have the Apple one for my 11” M2 Pro, but just used your link to order the ESR one because of the pencil flap.
You’ll love it!
works for the m4 models?
Yes!
Very nice case
I wish I saw your review sooner... before I bought the Apple Folio.

I disagree, the wear on the esr stuff, is bad especially for the phones MagSafe, doesn’t even magnetize anymore
100 dollers thats fucking too much
Agreed. That’s why the ESR one is way better
