I have been using a Zugu Case for a couple of years. I absolutely love the case for the iPad Pro 10.5" and was very excited to see they made one for the new 11" iPad Pro. This one is even better! Protection is great. I have dropped my iPad more than once and it is fine. Good corner protection.
The stand is great. I really like the magnets that help hold it in place. This is a key feature for me.
The best part of the new case is the Apple Pencil holder. There is a mesh bag on the back, which works well. I was skeptical of the mech sack on the 10.5" version, but I am happy to say that after more than a year of using it, the sack never got a hole in it or stretched too much that it made the pencil loose. As I write this review, I just noticed that the stitching around the back Apple Pencil holder is starting to come undone. I never use it. I have not contacted the manufacturer to let them know. I will probably try that later today.
However, on this new 11" case, I NEVER use the holder on the back. That is because there is an Apple Pencil holder on the side that is very sturdy and allows the pencil to charge. My Apple Pencil is now always charged! I take this case in and out of my backpack all day long and the Apple Pencil stays put.
In a perfect world, the iPad could rotate so it fit on the stand in the tall position, but I have been able to live without it. Not many iPad cases either rotate or have a tall standing option.
The front flap works great, but I wish the case had a version that would support an external keyboard that used the Smart Connector. I would get these for the students at the 1:1 iPad school where I am the Director of Technology.
Regardless of my small nit picks, this is the iPad case I have loved the best. I didn't think I would every leave my UAG case, but Zugu won me over. Plus, UAG screwed up the case with the 10.5" model. I din't even bother looking into their 11" because Zugu is better.
