Frequently Asked Questions
Does this case fit iPad 9.7” models with Apple Keyboard covers?
Yes, the case can be custom-fitted to accommodate an iPad 9.7 inch device with most keyboard covers. Leave a note at checkout specifying your keyboard brand/model for precise fitting.
Is the pencil holder compatible with the Apple Pencil Generation 1?
The integrated holder fits Apple Pencil 1st Gen (up to 9mm diameter), as well as other similar styluses.
How does full grain leather differ from synthetic or PU leather?
