After returning an other iPad Pro M4 launch case (which I won’t name) I ordered this one off of ESR in hopes it wouldn’t be trash.Let’s see about that! :pI chose blue but it also comes in boring black too. The core case is made of a softer plastic (maybe TPU?). It has a raised lip that protects the screen a bit, which is nice. The inside has a soft feel. It’s not fabric but somehow feels like softer texture than the rest of the case. Much nicer than rigid plastic on other cases that won’t be named.Putting the iPad Pro 11” inside the core case, I immediately noticed a very snug fit.All holes and cutouts are aligned perfectly.The core case does add some weight but not enough to complain about. Now the core or main case magnetically attaches to the the folio. The magnets are strong! Once attached, weight becomes MUCH more noticeable. Similar to my Zugu case with 2018 12.9” iPad Pro. That’s definitely something to complain about for some of you. The saving grace about this beefcake folio is two fold (no pun intended).1) The Folio can be left behind and your iPad would still be protected by the main case. You can use the folio as a home base of sorts and dock it at your desk / bedside when needed. Put a screen protector on that sucker and you’re still better off than Apples own folio (protection wise).2) The Folio part is fricken great.Yup, fricken great.You see those six grooves? The bottom flap uses magnets that fit inside and don’t budge unless you force it to. Once you get to the 4th 5th and 6th groove, the case becomes a bit wobbly which would be an other unfortunate CON if the second flap on top didn’t exist! Second flap? Brilliant bit of engineering. Once you deploy that, it’s back to being completely sturdy. No wobbles!Tested the case in bed and unsurprisingly it worked perfectly.I was at the Apple Store testing out their folio on my lap and even now that it’s redesigned to be more stable, it still isn’t sturdy enough to inspire confidence on my lap (in the upright position) let alone laying down. I digress but the ESR case is ideal in this regard.One last thing on viewing options.Detach the main case from the folio and move it up a few inches until it magnetically snaps back in again. That’s right, your ipad pro’s case lifts, bro!Looking at ESR’s info, (or reading that silly comment I just typed) I wouldn’t blame you for passing this feature off as gimmicky. It’s totally not though and actually really useful. Raising the iPad those few inches gives a better viewing angle on a desk, counter etc.. The best part is it’s still sturdy to the point that I’m comfortable using it this way in bed.And it’s way more comfortable this way because my head doesn’t have to be propped up with my neck bent as much!Now that I’m done gushing about the folio, there are a couple more things worth mentioning.The sides of the folio can feel a bit sharp while handling. Not sure if it’s a good idea to file them down myself but it would be great if these edges were rounded off. The sides of the main case also have a bit of flex to them when holding the iPad. When you fold the flap from the folio closed to protect your iPad’s screen, a magnet tells the ipad to go to sleep. Unfortunately, this magnet does not keep the flap closed for some reason. If you let gravity have its way and flip the case over, the cover will fling open. I think this is an oversight and something ESR should definitely fix.So yea, I think that’s all I have to say for now. Honestly, this launch has been a bit of a 💩 show with cases. Among the ones available, this ESR Shift series is the star of the show by a wide margin. Is it perfect? No. The folio part is really heavy, the sides are sharp to the touch and the flap cover won’t stay closed. But I’ll take these tradeoffs for the sturdiness and features it has (for now). Additionally this is hands down better than my old Zugu case which surprised me.Thanks for watching, don’t forget to like, sub… oh wait, that’s not what we do here… 🤣

It’s a great case. The back folding mechanism is very convenient especially if you like to draw and have it at a low degree but still propped up, not to mention the pen sleeve while the case still allowing the pen to magnetize to charge is also a nice design for conveniency.

Having read many reviews for cases, I opted for this as my first and go-to case. Ergonomics are important for me, and the closer I can get a screen to natural eye level, the better. The ESR Shift does this better than any other. I will still probably want to add something under the setup every now and then, for extended use, but my breakfast reading is going to be awesome starting today!

Works faultlessly with my 11 inch M4 I Pad and charges my 2nd gen I pencil pro perfectly.100% recommended! Best IPad case I have ever purchased!

I purchased this for my new iPad Pro M4 bed on a YouTube reviewer recommendation. I was also attracted to being able to drop the device into a pre-made "tray" and being able to attach the protector into a template which seemed, and was, simple to use.So the first time I used it I used both the protectors and while the installation was a breeze and the protector delightful to use with a pencil and my fingers there were bubbles on each attempt. Not any impediment in use and only visible in sleep or power off but it sorta spoiled my lovely new iPad.So I contacted customer service who were very responsive, very helpful, and sent me a new package at my request. They surely went above and beyond.So now on my second round the experience was first rate and just a few tinny bubbles which I was able to "finger" off.Recommended.

The quality is very good, and it is quite reliable for the price. However, when I attach my iPad to it, it’s not very stable. But I do like the overall design. I would consider buying products from this company again.

Well made product. Happy with my purchase

I love the fact that it is magnetic. I write a lot of notes on my iPad and it is holding up nicely. I previously had a Paperlike and this works just as well at a fraction of the price! It also came with a nice plastic holder to keep it clean when not in use. Covers edge to edge and never has any bubbles.

L’écran s’installe très bien et la sensation est une des meilleure que j’ai eu jusqu’à présent, mais, l’encoche pour la caméra n’est pas au bon endroit. Donc , il est impossible d’utiliser Face ID avec ce protecteur. il faut sans cesse l’enlever ou bien y aller avec le code.La "nutch" aurait dû être placé à l’endroit de la caméra du iPad et non comme une Webcam d’un ordinateur (sur le côté long)
