There are quite a few styles to choose from, and each offers varying degrees of utility. From sturday keyboard cases to svelte, barely-there skins, there’s something for everybody, and space for the vaunted Apple Pencil, too.

Keep the 13-inch iPad Pro (2024) safe
The 2024 iPad Pro 13 is an exciting piece of tech, but accidents happen. Before your new iPad takes a tumble, choose a high-quality case to keep it safe. Our top pick, the ESR Shift, wasn’t immediately available upon the iPad Pro’s release, but practically everybody was waiting for it. It’s not just protective and reliable, its magnetic attachment makes it easy to spin your tablet to either orientation and maximize its utility. It’s not even terribly expensive, either.
Zugu makes an especially popular and well-know line of cases, and this iteration is about as durable as it gets. Even in the rare event you drop your tablet, Zugu’s rugged case will keep it safe, and the rock-solid stand and airflow vents ensure your iPad’s easy to use for hours.
We tapped another ESR for our value pick, in this case the Rebound. It’s the popular company’s simplest iPad cover, but that doesn’t mean it has any drawbacks. Quite the opposite, in fact — minimalists who don’t want to settle for no-name accessories would do well to consider the Rebound and its premium materials. For relatively affordable rugged protection, you can go with the Poetic and Supcase offerings.
And as far as keyboard cases go, Logitech’s Combo Touch is a top-notch choice that delivers solid protection, costs less than the OEM Magic Keyboard Case, and actually feels and types better than Apple’s according to many. You can also detach the keyboard part of the case when you don’t need it.
