Thanks for highlighting an important reality with regard to the likelihood of the Pencil 2 falling off during transit. Sorry for a late response and the confusion, I am unsure of the device you are using but mean what you refer to as the Inverted Position with the keyboard hidden and the Screen at a low angle. I used to use protective cases with ipads, but with the latest one I stopped: I either have it in the keyboard folio, or carry it around without a case, possibly sliding into a pouch for transport. The pencil will fall off, especially if you are right-handed and grab the ipad from the right. One thing to note is that the magnetic pencil attachment is cool for charging, but useless for carrying the ipad around. I’d say I put it in and take it out at least several times a day, and it isn’t a problem at all. I very often remove the ipad from the case, because of its weight, but that’s very easy, because they got the magnets right. I do use the ipad sometimes in the low-angle “inverted” position and it works great that way, except you can’t use the keyboard and some apps expect you to be able to if it’s connected. I can really find very few flaws with it, apart from the fact that it’s heavy. I’m not sure if I fully understand what you mean by the low level fold (I’m guessing it’s the positioning where the keyboard is vertical and the device is at a low angle?), but in general the new keyboard folio is much better than the old one. I would not get the smaller ipad pro, because screen size is a nice thing to have and this one has thin borders, so it is not as big as the previous model (which was a monster).Ĭontext: I’ve been an iPad user since the original iPad and this is (I think) my fourth iPad to date. 64GB is too small, as I like to have my document collection on the ipad, as well as a bunch of movies sometimes. That said, it’s quite heavy at 400g and I found it makes a big difference when holding the ipad: I can easily hold the 600g ipad, but holding the whole package at 1kg is nowhere near as nice.įor storage, I went with 256GB, because Apple annoyingly does not provide a 128GB option. But if you do plan to do some typing, it’s the best keyboard out there, and the case works surprisingly well. If you mostly need the ipad for graphical/3D work, I wouldn’t get the keyboard. I use it with the Apple keyboard folio thing, which is a mixed bag, depending on your needs.

It is a spectacular machine, packing a serious computer (more powerful than most laptops) in a 6mm thick enclosure. I would highly recommend the 12.9' iPad Pro.
