As an Apple Family Bucket user, after updating 16.1 MBP in the first half of this year, I started to look at my old iPad 2018. With the previous student discount activities, I took the last bus and bought the 12.9-inch iPad Pro2020, which was a relief to the little knot in my heart. Apple shipped it pretty fast and soon received the brand new 2020 iPad Pro. I have to say that Apple's previous update of iPad Air4 is a big reason for me to update it. After using iPad Pro for a while, I felt that the biggest problem was that 12.9-inch was really too big. I was also an MBA user before, but I didn’t have the same sense as iPad Pro, so I was very worried about what if the 12.9-inch design was bent?
Compare my MBP and you can see that it is really not small. I haven't bought a Magic Control Keyboard yet, so I'm still very worried about its security. Although it is more used at home every day, it can be said that the iPad Pro is the best/small MBP secondary screen. Although I didn't buy the keyboard, I still couldn't avoid buying a 2nd generation pen. Compared with the Pencil, its grip experience is much better, and the magnetic charging design is so attractive to me, a wireless charging enthusiast.
Why did you buy pencil first and didn’t buy the magic control keyboard simultaneously? Actually, I want to say that I am more optimistic about the painting experience of iPad Pro. Compared to using the keyboard as a productivity tool, I hope to write and draw on electronic devices. (In fact, I still don’t want to spend 2k+)
How to solve the problem of iPad Pro productivity? How can I lack Bluetooth keyboard and mouse for digital enthusiasts like me? The MX Keys+MX Master 3 I got before is a good set of choices. If you are at home in daily life, you can use a bracket to type on the iPad Pro. But why don’t I use MBP if I want to write?
In fact, the experience of inputting through touch on iPad Pro is not that good, but it can be solved by handwriting input. It just couldn't solve the bug where I forgot the words.
Of course, with a monitor that supports Type-C, the experience of direct connection to the monitor is also made me feel that the investment of iPad Pro seems to be very valuable. Moreover, the Philips 346P1CRH I matched also has a built-in USB interface. After the expansion, even if you do not have Bluetooth-enabled keyboard and mouse, you can still display the keyboard and mouse operations through USB connection.
In terms of protecting the case, since I will consider adding the Magic Control keyboard in the future, I have been looking for the shell selection for a long time. Finally, I saw the MagEZ Case for iPad Pro recently updated by PITAKA. It is very compatible with the wonderful keyboard, and it is also the Kevlar material I like very much. Although it is a bit expensive, it is not difficult to accept buying devices like iPad Pro, and it is more than a few hundred yuan.
Simple kraft paper packaging design, two sizes available. The shell material is 1500D Kevlar, which is skin-friendly and scratch-resistant. In terms of packaging, should we increase the price at this level? I think it would seem better if it is a white packaging that is consistent with Apple products.
You can see a simple installation instructions when opening the package, compared to the general iPad anti-fall case. The installation and disassembly of this protective case of PITAKA is quite convenient. You can install it with a light button. If you really can't install it, you can also scan the QR code to view the security video.
is different from the common protective case. Three copper pin contact points can be seen at the bottom of this MagEZ Case for iPad Pro. Implement data and charging functions with iPad and Magic Keyboard. This design allows users who add Magic Control keyboards later to have more choices, and they don’t have to buy Magic Control keyboards to waste the previous protective case.
is different from the common mobile phone Kevlar material. MagEZ Case for iPad Pro is attached with a layer of PC material to increase stability and protection. You should know that if it is pure Kevlar's single material that is only 1.55mm thick, there will be a certain risk of deformation. However, there is no need to worry about the increase in weight. The 12.9-inch protective case weighs only about 115g, which is very light and thin.It is even lighter for users who buy 11 inches, only 86g.
installation effect, and it looks very harmonious with the 12.9 iPad Pro. Although it has a protective case, the overall feel is still a bare metal texture, but the touch of the Kevlar material is much better than the cold metal feel when it is bare metal. The characteristics of Kevlar material are high strength, good toughness and high temperature resistance, with a strength of 5 times that of steel. It can provide good protection for iPad Pro in daily life.
The upper and lower holes are also very accurate, and the mold seems to be fine. Although the actual test side of
is wrapped around, it does not affect the charging experience of pencil.
But I also noticed that the other side of this protective case is not made of all-inclusive material, but it will also provide some protection for iPad Pro. Of course, if your iPad Pro lands at a particularly sore angle, there may be nothing you can do.
protective shell is so thin, how to fix it? In fact, if you look closely, you will find that although the all-inclusive edge design is not designed, a design similar to a bayonet is designed in several key positions to fix the iPad Pro.
Attached with an official scene picture of PITAKA. If you buy the second control keyboard in the future, you can use it directly with this protective case. MagEZ Case for iPad Pro is designed with three contacts at the bottom to ensure data connection, and the thin and light design will not affect the magnetic experience with the keyboard.
magnetic absorption effect demonstration. You can see that after loading, iPad Pro has added protection for a week. With the Magic Control keyboard, it also increases protection while gaining a better input experience.
It has been cold recently and I often take the subway. So I bought a magnetic card package together, and the overall design is somewhat similar to MagSafe at the recent iPhone 12 launch conference. However, PITAKA's MagEZ Card Sleeve card bag was released earlier.
price is much lower than Apple's MagSafe. It also has a built-in magnet that can be attached to the protective case or if you consider buying iPhone 12 later, it can be directly attached to your iPhone 12. The familiarity of linking multiple elemental accessories such as PITAKA is undoubtedly a major selling point of PITAKA brand products.
Summary
In general, iPad Pro brings users a new user experience. The upgraded system does provide users with good convenience in terms of productivity. The larger 12.9-inch screen is a good choice for iQiyi or as a productivity tool. But 12.9 inches is indeed a behemoth. The thin and light appearance of aluminum alloy frame material makes me very worried about its durability, although there is AppleCare+ to buy. But it always requires additional protection. You can choose the Magic Keyboard, which can also provide certain protection for the iPad Pro while being a productivity tool in daily life. But in general, the keyboard still does not provide all-round protection. After all, even after being equipped with the Magic Keyboard, the iPad Pro is still empty for a week. An additional protective case is still a must, especially if you plan to choose a Magic Keyboard. MagEZ Case for iPad Pro protective cases like PITAKA is still very necessary, unlike many protective cases. It is very compatible with the smart keyboard, and the Kevlar case is thin enough and can provide enough support for the iPad Pro. From actual tests, we can also see that the iPad Pro with a protective case will not affect the charging experience of the Pencil.
Of course, one of the biggest reasons why I am willing to pay for this protective case is that I prefer the feel and appearance of the Kevlar material brought to users by PITAKA. It is precisely this design that makes me willing to pay for it. To be honest, the price of this MagEZ Case for iPad Pro 400+ is not cheap, but considering its material, appearance and thin design that can be adapted to the properties of the Magic Control Keyboard, I think this investment is still worth it. In addition, it is also very light in weight, and the bare metal experience is added a lot because of it. This is the case with
or above. I wonder if you have ever been obsessed with a certain material?
