Apple’s new iPad Pro (M4, 2024) is a powerhouse of creativity and productivity, and it easily stands as one of the best tablets out there for professionals. From the new M4 chip to a new Tandem OLED display, the new iPad Pro is packed with some of the most powerful internals we’ve seen inside an iPad. It is a bit on the expensive side, though, and it’s also quite fragile now with its thin form-factor.
I highly recommend protecting it with a case because, well, the last thing you want to do is break your expensive investment with an accidental drop or a scuff. Apple’s new M4-powered iPad is relatively new to the market, but I’ve still managed to put together a good list of options that are worth considering. If you are in the market to buy a new case for your iPad Pro, then read on to find some good options for both the 11-inch and the 13-inch models.
