SWITCHEASY CoverBuddy Case for iPad Pro 11” (M5 2025/M4 2024, 6th/5th Gen), Magic Keyboard Compatible, Built-in Pencil Holder, Protective Cover, Leather Black 5.05

The SwitchEasy CoverBuddy for iPad is a very well-designed case that provides solid protection while maintaining a slim profile. It fits securely and works well with accessories, making it very practical for everyday use. Overall, it’s a premium-feeling and reliable iPad accessory that performs very well.

2022 REVIEW: Overall the product does what it says it does. Unfortunately, the only USB-C cable that will fit and charge the iPad while this product is attached is the Apple OEM cable. Most other brand USB-Cables will not fit in the hole for the charging port and will be blocked from being fully inserted, thereby preventing charging or data transfer. I used a drill to widen the hole because I don't like to use my Apple OEM cables while I travel. If you've ever used an Apple OEM cable in your car or loaned it to a "friend" for five minutes, you now how the cables have a tendency of wandering off. I continue to use mine, but I figured I should mention this slight flaw so that others don't get caught off guard. Otherwise, it's very easy to use. It keeps the pen more secure than the magnet alone and works well with the keyboard and other magsafe covers. 2024 UPDATE: I fixed the cable issue by cutting out a bit around the USB-C port. Now all cables work fine. However I'm on my second one because they are flimsy and break easily. I won't be buying a third one because I'm lost my pencil twice. Thankfully, I found it each time, but I'm done. I changed my rating from 3 stars to 1 star. Save your money. PHOTOS: 1 & 2 w/ Apple Magic Keyboard and Cover. 3 & 4 w/ magsafe mount. Not the pencil bay is broken.

Good protection for this large Tablet. But I had to use a Dremer tool to enlarge the hole for the Thunderbolt USB-C plug as all USB-C plugs are not equally small in width!

I feel like sometimes people see products and expect manufacturers to be able to deny the laws of physics. The truth is if you are looking for something that is compatible with the Magic Keyboard you have to understand you’re going to be getting something pretty thin. It has to be able to fit in clothes while using this keyboard and this product does exactly that. Yes, at one end the cover does not extend all the way, but that is simply because once again due to the laws of physics, two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time lol. There would be no possible way to close this due to the fact of how the Magic Keyboard is set up. You were wanting to buy this if you want a cover that you could put on your iPad and pop it in and out of the Magic Keyboard case. You want something thin that will protect it from scratches. If you are looking for something super durable that could fall from 68 feet and still protected this isn’t for you. This isn’t some sort of OtterBox defender. For me, it did exactly what I wanted it to.

I have used this rather gently for the last 3 years and it’s a nice extra bit of securing my pencil and popping on and off the keyboard. That is until one of the 3 contact pins fell out and prevents the connection from completing now. Great idea but the engineering needed more I guess. Funny thing was it fell out while setting it down onto the folio and the pin stuck to the magnets for the keyboard but would not fit back in the case without popping back out immediately

Other than being ridiculously expensive for what is essentially a razor thin plastic case, this really does exactly what you want if you are looking to be able to easily remove the iPad from your Magic Keyboard to use it as a tablet. However, it only gets four stars since it is not easy to get the pencil out of the holder. There is a cut out on the bottom, which is intended to allow you to pop it up and out, but that is in the middle of the pencil so it isn’t very quick or easy to grab it with one hand. The design could be greatly improved if they moved that cut out to one end of the pencil holder. That way you could pop out a part of the pencil that would stick up and make it easier to grab.

As a music teacher, I usually use my IPad Pro (12.9) for classroom teaching, music composition, or other music-related task. This case is really a great helper for me. It not only protects your iPad but also provides a convenient place to store your Apple Pencil. Especially when you often switch between the Magic Keyboard and handheld mode, having a suitable protective case is essential. Although it’s a bit pricey, it’s a worthwhile investment if it fits perfectly and prevents scratches!

I might be okay with the quality had it cost a fraction of the price, even then I’d be displeased. Came in the package with a pretty serious warp to the plastic, does not fit tightly and will “pop” off the edges way too easily by just holding the iPad like normal to draw or browse, volume buttons are way too hard to depress, magic keyboard does not close all the way while attached. Ultimately this product causes more issues than the one issue it was trying to fix which is basically to shield your pencil from getting knocked off the charging spot. May be fine for casual users, but if you’re a heavy user that uses your iPad for serious and art related uses, stay far away. It’s cheaply made, expensively sold.

Solo case senza custiodia

El material es de buena calidad. Los acabados son buenos. Se siente resistente y facilita la manipulación. El precio es un poco alto pero vale la pena.

Je le trouve bien, il protège bien le pencil et l ipad. Un peu plus dur d acces pour les boutons volumes et n est pas protégé sur le dessous de la tablette. Par contre, il est très magnétique et se detache rarement

There are quite as few mixed reviews for this case. I wanted something to protect my IPad when connected to the magic keyboard and also to keep the Apple Pencil secure. This case appears to be the only case on the market at the moment that does what I want it to do. I was dubious about ordering one as some say the magic keyboard doesn’t close properly. Well I am happy to confirm it does close with this case on. It fits perfectly and is very secure with the magnets. The Apple Pencil also fits securely as well, which is exactly what I wanted. I think this must be the upgraded version. All cut outs are in the right place, any yes, my Apple charger fits securely with the case on. The only very minor gripe is accessing the volume buttons, although they are accessible, you have to use the tip of your finger / finger nail to increase and decrease the volume due to the start of the compartment for the Apple Pencil. Is it worth £39.99? Well it does seem rather expensive for what it is, however I am keeping it as it does exactly what I wanted it to do. Would I recommend it, ‘yes’ is the answer.

As described Nice piece of kit
