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?
Full grain leather is the most durable and develops a unique patina over time, unlike synthetic/PU leather which may look uniform but can crack, peel, or degrade with use.

The handmade leather absorbs minor bumps and scratches but does not provide drop-rated or shock-absorbing protection found in some synthetic or rugged cases.
