The iPad Pro range is beyond powerful. The tablets provide users with lightning fast performance and deliver stunning visuals with the help of the liquid retina display. The display is significant on both Pro options - the 11-inch Pro is huge but the 12.9-inch screen is, frankly, on another level. Apple prides itself on the device being “all screen”, and that it certainly is. The only snag that comes with such a large, smooth and flawless screen is that it can quickly become unsmooth and flawed thanks to the existence of scratchy and pointed surfaces. Inadvertently ruining an iPad’s display with an unfortunate bash is a tragic thing – but a thing that can be avoided.
While you can’t live in a bubble, your iPad can with the help of an awesome and rugged case.
We’ve put an array of cases to the test, subjecting them to some rough and ready treatment, to make sure that they’re up to the job of protecting your device. Below you’ll find a list of the cases that we know are up to the task.
The best iPad Pro 12.9 cases:
1.
JETech Case
Description
The JETech case offers up all-round protection in the form of a bulk-free PC shell which clips the iPad into position, while the synthetic outer encases the front and back of the device. The tri-fold cover will wake and sleep the device as needed, and folds to offer a two-position viewing stand.
Description
The ZUGU Muse case is ideal for the busy professional on the go. The solid, case offers great protection from all sorts of nasty knocks, while the magnetic stand provides ten stand positions allowing the user to be as comfortable as possible. There is also an area to store an Apple Pencil.
Description
The protection that the Defender offers an iPad is incredible. The case is made up of three layers, each with a specific purpose – drop-proofing, crush resistance, and knock and scratch defence. The rear of the case folds out to provide a stand, and the screen is protected by the in-built cover, and there is even a stash holster for the Apple Pencil. The case does add a considerable bulk to the device, but there's no greater protection than the OtterBox Defender.
4.
Ztotop Case
Description
The Ztotop Case takes the principle of JETech's case and takes it up a level. The case is constructed of a more rugged, rubberised plastic, giving greater protection, and offers up a jutting edge for the storage of an Apple Pencil. The tri-fold case will auto sleep and wake the device and provide two viewing stand positions.

Description
This tri-fold case from Apple magnetically attaches to an iPad and provides two stand angles. The cover wraps the front and rear of the device and will auto wake and sleep the device. This is the perfect low-profile case, as it is the exact size of the iPad Pro 12.9-inch – however this sleek design does inhibit corner and border protection.
