Apple’s iPad Pro is a beautiful mammoth of a tablet but its pretty, plus-sized design won’t save the premium tablet from a horribly destructive demise. To paraphrase Beyoncé: If you like your iPad Pro, you should definitely put a case on it.
Thankfully, we’ve put together this selection of iPad Pro cases to avoid such a destructive outcome. From iPad Pro cases that offer battle-proof protection from the elements, to more minimalist designs, you can find all of our favourites here. All of the iPad Pro cases listed have both 10.5in iPad Pro and 12.9in iPad Pro sizes available.

Apple Smart Cover iPad Pro case: Best official Apple case
12.9in iPad Pro price:£49 | Buy now from Amazon
10.5in iPad Pro price:£44 | Buy now from Amazon
Official Apple covers are rather expensive, but thankfully Apple’s smart cover for the iPad Pro is relatively affordable.
Like with the rest of Apple’s smart covers, it uses the snap on, snap off mechanism and has the ability to fold into various constructions, meaning you can prop it up to watch some Netflix on the big screen. The case is both lightweight and protective, covering the front-side of the iPad Pro. It locks the iPad when you snap it closed and wakes the device automatically when you open it up.
If you’re keen on sticking with an Apple-branded case, this is our choice.
Ztotop iPad Pro Folio case: Best leather iPad Pro case under £25
12.9in iPad Pro price:£23 | Buy now from Amazon
10.5in iPad Pro price:£16 | Buy now from Amazon
Ztotop’s leather folio case is a thing of business-conscious beauty and besides looking smart, it’s remarkably functional too. It has a tidy folding stand for various typing configurations, an Apple Pencil holder, a hand strap and even an organiser pocket for your business cards.
Just like Apple’s smart cover, Ztotop’s leather folio case also has the nifty ability to put your iPad Pro to sleep by closing the cover. There’s also a magnetic clasp to keep the case in place. It comes in a range of colours such as brown and black, and there’s even a denim option if you’re so inclined.
ESR Clear Hard-backed iPad Pro case: Best clear case under £10
12.9in iPad Pro price:£9.99 | Buy now from Amazon
10.5in iPad Pro price:£7.99 | Buy now from Amazon
We get it, you just spent four-figures on a fancy new iPad Pro and you want to tell the world, but you also don’t want it smashing on impact. ESR’s clear hard-backed case provides the best of both worlds. The case is not only clear on the back, allowing you to show off that you own an iPad Pro, but also provides solid protection. It’s built in a way that lets you use your smart keyboard without annoying interference from the case.
There’s also a nice rubber strip on the left side of the ESR case, to help stop your iPad Pro from slipping slip out of your hand when you’re carrying it. ESR’s clear hard-backed case is cheap, too, costing just £10 for the 12.9in model and £8 for the 10.5in model.
Supcase Heavy Duty iPad Pro case: Best case for clumsy people
12.9in iPad Pro price:£25 | Buy now from Amazon
10.5in iPad Pro price:£22 | Buy now from Amazon
It’s not easy lugging around a heavy tablet that’s absolutely gigantic. If you’re fairly accident-prone and think that your iPad Pro is undoubtedly going to slip out of your hand at some point, we recommend picking up Supcase’s heavy duty case.
With a built-in screen protector on the 10.5in case and a shock-resistant dual-layer hardshell case, your iPad is primed to survive drop after drop. What’s better is that Supcase’s case even has a flip stand, which is an unusual but welcome addition to these kinds of heavy duty cases. Most of all, it’s much cheaper than other cases such as the OtterBox.
The only downside is that it’s extremely heavy and makes a thin but bulky iPad even heavier. It’s a necessary trade-off for ultimate protection, however.
Mofred leather iPad Pro folio case: Best all-round case
12.9in iPad Pro price:£16 | Buy now from Amazon
10.5in iPad Pro price:£15 | Buy now from Amazon
If you put everything good about an iPad Pro case into a pot and mix it all together, what do you get? Why, Mofred’s leather folio case of course.
With a classy two-tone design, Mofred’s case is one fancy-looking case, made from polyurethane leather. It features a multi-configuration flip stand, a wallet pouch for documents and paperwork, a magnetic strip to wake the iPad when it opens and an elastic loop for your Apple Pencil.
To sweeten the deal, Mofred’s case even includes an iPad Pro-compatible stylus and an included screen protector. What more could you want? The two iPad case sizes can both be bought for just under £16.
Mosiso iPad Pro sleeve: Best iPad Pro sleeve
12.9in iPad Pro price:£12 | Buy now from Amazon
10.5in iPad Pro price:£11 | Buy now from Amazon
For some of us, a no-frills sleeve is the only bit of iPad Pro protection someone needs. In that case, turn your gaze towards Mosiso’s iPad Pro cover. It’s a polyester foam-padded water-repellent sleeve that is sure to help keep your iPad safe from short drops as well as the elements.
There’s a handy pocket on the front which gives you enough space to store your Apple Pencil or power bank.
