You are straight to the point! Which makes you better than all those who yap at the beginning 😂. Thanks

[@JaysTech158]

Haha 😂 thanks 😊

[@alexrojas5374]

The only reason I love the Apple one is cuz I love the lightest and minimalist design. Despite the minimal protection I never drop my iPad and take care of my things. All the other cases are to bulky and adds to much weight to the iPad

[@JaysTech158]

Yep same here. I really love the Apple Smart Folio because of how minimal it is while still being great quality.

[@Georgiaboy_]

@@JaysTech158sorry to crash this conversation. But would you say you prefer the Apple folio to the ESR even though they seem quite similar ?

[@JaysTech158]

I like both cases. The Apple case is more light and slim and really good quality. The ESR case has a flap to hold the Pencil Pro securely and is more affordable.

[@Georgiaboy_]

@@JaysTech158 Apple case also has more angles 🧐

[@JaysTech158]

Yes that’s right! All really depends on what features are important to you.

[@paulhoward2391]

You didn’t mention that the Otterbox front flap is magnetically attached and can be removed. It’s nice to get it out of the way for very cramped places like an airplane or if you have it open most the time and just don’t need the front cover.

[@onzkicg]

did you get one? I like the idea but hesitate bec not sure how good is the front screen layer that it wouldn’t diminish iPad’s orig screen quality.

[@alanschofield1462]

Does the front flap fold all the way back and stay in place magnetically?

[@and16942]

I don’t like the fact that the apple folio folds up so the microfibre side makes contact with the table. It picks up so much dirt and grime and then rubs it all over your screen

[@JaysTech158]

That’s actually true. Good thought 👍🏼

[@MrMystri]

Why is it so difficult for apple to put a cradle in their folio cases for protection?

[@3X3-n3j]

Defeats the purpose of the magnets and hence the stupid price tag.

[@bavers]

Hi Jay, I have not long found your channel and love your videos. I have just purchased an iPad Pro 11 inch 2024. I can’t decide if to get the Apple Smart Folio or the OtterBox Statement studio. In your opinion which one is the best? I Like the otterbox but I am disappointed there is no microfibres that covers the back of the iPad.

[@JaysTech158]

Thanks for your appreciation 😊 Both are great cases. If you use your iPad just at home, I would recommend the Apple Smart Folio. However, if you take your iPad out and about a lot, the OtterBox would be better as you would be getting more protection. Hope this helps!

[@Getlost55]

Thanks for breaking those down. Super useful.

[@JaysTech158]

You’re welcome!

[@mustafahaddad5593]

Best description thanks bro

[@sharokeke8064]

I love the Logitech Combo Touch iPad Keyboard case

[@markieuanroberts]

Fascinating and inspiring video. Wishing you further success.

[@JaysTech158]

Thank you!

[@Cr1t1calTh1nker]

Great review mate! Just a quick question….Does the ESR slim tri-fold folio case sit magnetically, or does it rely on gravity when set up in the respective viewing angles/modes?

[@JaysTech158]

The actual iPad fits magnetically on to the case and once fitted it’s the case’s base which holds it in its respective viewing angle. Hope this helps 😊

[@LeesReviews69]

I have the classic esr since day 1. I noticed my first one was .05mm too big, so I ordered a second one, and this time in black transparent to match my iPad, and it fits even more perfect than the the they made before release. No more creaking. Best thing about this case is the Apple Pencil side is sturdy to hold

[@Nick-gi6ym]

Great review I like the clear case for the 11” thank you

[@JaysTech158]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for the appreciation!😊

[@Informative_Data]

Great video! 👍 👍 👍

[@JaysTech158]

Thank you!

[@ZLPhD]

The Otterbox cover/flap doesn’t come off the base?

[@WonkoWick]

Between Apple Smart Folio vs ESR Slim Trifold, which one has the stronger magnets to hold the case that withstand stronger shake ? Thank you.

[@JaysTech158]

I would say the Apple Smart Folio has the stronger magnets.

[@Javier03Li]

Apple Smart Folio for sure. I went with the Denim color and I don’t regret it at all.

[@Sean4reall]

I actually like the fact that the ESR has weaker magnets for a somewhat quicker snap off..because I tend to use the iPad without the case mostly..but use the case just for storage or putting in a book bag. 💼

[@Shauntipson]

I’ve gone for the ottobox

[@JaysTech158]

Good choice.

[@susanleach9106]

Me too disappointed in choice of colours though.

[@geebee3159]

Did the Apple case have room for the pencil?

[@JaysTech158]

It has room for the pencil but doesn’t have a strap to secure it in place.

[@geebee3159]

@@JaysTech158 Thanks for your response. I've seen the ProCase on google (Amazon), however, they have not manufactured a case for the IPAD 13 inch, 2024 model. I like that one I think, and might wait for a while as hopefully they might make one. Thanks again.

[@filipanese_gui]

i have the esr trifold and no the sleep/wake does not work on the 11 inch pro

[@raghavsahni3572]

It works for me

[@PariVerma-de9yv]

Well done 👍🏻 👏🏻👏🏻

[@JaysTech158]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@xdgs567z]

Have you tried Zugu case?

[@awl168]

If you have the ESR Classic Clear Case on the iPad Pro, will it fit/work in the Apple Smart Folio?

[@shoaibja]

Is the clear case slippery or does it have grip?

[@JaysTech158]

It’s not the grippiest case as is normally the case with clear cases but I don’t find it too bad in terms of grip.

[@Amanda-po9xe]

Is the esr case heavier and thicker than the Apple folio? :) I have always bought the one from Apple but the pencil protection on the esr is compelling…

[@JaysTech158]

The ESR case and the Apple Smart Folio are really similar in terms of thickness. The Smart Folio is slightly thinner and lighter but it’s not a huge difference.

[@BiteyThing]

I've never had the Apple version but I can't imagine not having the pencil flap. The additional adjustment on Apple's would be nice though... Hard to imagine Apple's being thinner than ESR :)

[@SueFerreira75]

Check out the Pitaka MagEZ Folio 2 too

[@joomilim8938]

Does the ESR classic clear case work with an Apple smart folio?

[@JaysTech158]

I haven’t tried it but I don’t believe it does.

[@RockYourBusiness]

What about a keyboard and case

[@Mikmokwakawaka]

Hello hope I am not too late and can get my question answered~ I was wondering if the clear case ESR would fit with the ESR slim trifold stand? if its compatible because I saw one on amazon where it had a case that came with the slim trifold stand but I did not really like the case it came with… Cheers!

[@JaysTech158]

I don’t believe it is compatible as there’s no magnets on the ESR Clear Case so that it would fit to the ESR Slim Trifold Stand Case.

[@Mikmokwakawaka]

@@JaysTech158 Thanks for the speedy reply! You have a point there aren’t any magnets I am just smooth brained and did not think of that anyways cheers! I Appreciate the time and effort put into your videos!

[@JaysTech158]

Thanks for the appreciation! 😊

[@MrRelevance02]

Already brought it

[@Marcellgdd]

I get one Smart Folio with my iPad m4 and it doesn’t stick at my iPad and I don’t know if it’s damaged or it’s a wrong Smart Folio. Anyway, what should I do?

[@doody2272]

Hello, can you make a video about best screen protection for the ipad pro M4, thank you

[@JaysTech158]

Hi, yes I’ll try and make that video soon.

[@TheRastler]

Like most Apple products the Apple case is way overpriced when you consider manufacturing costs.

[@sharonrosewerbel500]

I purchased the ztotop case for the correct model (as indicated on Amazon). The on/off and volume buttons do not work. I’m very disappointed because this is a great case.

[@JaysTech158]

I had a similar experience but I noticed that you really have to make sure the iPad is fitted in there correctly and only then the buttons will work. Let me know if this helps 😊

[@sharonrosewerbel500]

@@JaysTech158I tried 3 times. On the final try the screen went black and I got a message about recovery. Luckily the iPad came back, but I decided not to mess around with it any more.

[@JaysTech158]

Oh sorry to hear that 😔

[@AlanHayabusaTMH]

Wish I could buy the OtterBox statement blue case from Mexico. But it’s not available anywhere but Apple USA’s website 😢 The only one I was able to get ordered was the clear one at the end of the video through AliExpress 😅

[@JaysTech158]

Ahh hope you’re able to pick up a good case soon.

[@TokyoNeko8]

Need weight info

[@JaysTech158]

Thanks. Will keep that in mind for next time.

[@Velin4eto]

No cases for if you want to use the Magic Keyboard though.. It should either be with the keyboard with at all times or every time you want to use it without you have to remove your case… it’s beyond disappointing

[@likeitis5662]

Only the last one gives any kind of drop protection. The rest nope 😂

[@JaysTech158]

😂 I would say the OtterBox is quite protective as well.

[@chistisadaf]

The ESR folio, does it have micro fiber on the inside ?

[@Evil.Totoro]

It does, I have the 11 inch one, and can confirm the sleep wake function doesn’t work.

[@pinkvixen686]

The first Apple Case is a joke.No protection
