The Muse Case - 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 inch (3rd Gen) - Very Protective But Thin + Convenient Magnetic Stand + Sleep/Wake Cover by ZUGU CASE (Black)

I bought The Muse Case for my 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 inch (3rd Gen) several years ago, and it has proven to be an excellent investment. Despite the time that has passed, the case is still in fantastic condition and continues to offer superb protection while maintaining a sleek profile.The Muse Case strikes a perfect balance between durability and slimness. It provides robust protection against drops and scratches without adding excessive bulk. The thin design ensures that the iPad remains lightweight and easy to handle, while the high-quality materials have held up exceptionally well over the years.One of the standout features is the precise fit. The case wraps around the iPad securely, allowing easy access to all buttons and ports without any interference. The cover also has a magnetic closure that keeps the iPad secure when not in use and automatically wakes or sleeps the device as needed.Additionally, the case has proven to be very resilient to everyday wear and tear. Despite regular use, it still looks great and functions perfectly, which is a testament to its quality and durability.Overall, The Muse Case has exceeded my expectations in terms of protection, style, and longevity. It’s a fantastic choice for anyone looking to safeguard their iPad Pro while keeping it sleek and portable. Highly recommended!

I'm reviewing the latest release of this case. ZUGU made a design change of some kind to fix a problem this Muse case had with the Apple Pencil 2. I'll give you the good, the bad and how this case compares to others I've tried.As my headline states, this is the best case I've purchased so far for my new iPad and the Apple Pencil 2.The Good:1. This is a very protective case. It is well designed and covers just about every square inch on my iPad. The cover actually closes inside the outside edges and magnetically locks into place. I liken it to a box lid closing. It's a very nice feature that I have not seen before. All the cutouts and buttons are in exactly the right place as well. The case is even more on the low profile side of things. While very protective, this case adds very little bulk.2. I really like the stand. Once you have opened the lid, there are 10 different slots/angle adjustments from nearly upright, to nearly flat. The support for the stand is quite sturdy and held in place by magnets. Once you adjust the stand, it stays that way until you pull it apart. The other nice thing is you can press, draw or bump on the screen as much as you like without the support collapsing or iPad falling over. I suggest looking at the video posted by the manufacturer. It may help you understand what I'm trying to say here.3. YES IT DOES support to magnetically pair and charge the pencil. It even has two secure spots to store the pencil/keep you from loosing your pencil. The first is in the molded charging/pairing port on the side of the case. Because it is held in place magnetically and this part of the case has molded sides to hold the pencil, it is much more secure than other cases. This will likely be where I choose to store my pencil. There is a second even more secure spot on the rear of the case that does not pair or charge. This is visible in the photos and works very well to prevent loosing your pencil.4. You can magnetically attach the iPad to any metal surface, like a filing cabinet, refrigerator, etc. While it IS a neat feature/trick, I'm not sure I will ever use it.The Bad:1. The part of the case that touches the screen when closed is also the part of the case that touches whatever surface the case sits on when set up. I didn't consider this when I purchased it. So... You will need to be careful where you setup the case when using your iPad. If you set it on a gritty or dirty surface/table top/etc, you will need to brush off or clean the inside cover before closing. If you don't, you could wind up with a sticky iPad screen. At worst, if you trap grit between the cover and screen, you could scratch the glass on you iPad. This is the one and only real negative I see with this case and the only reason I may purchase something else as other mainstream cases begin to support pairing and charging on the new Apple Pencil 2.Really, I consider this to be a 4.5 star case. It just has so many other things going for it and is sooo much better than many, perhaps most, of the other cases "currently" available, I did not feel right about choosing to give it four stars.My biggest challenge has been finding a case that both supports the Apple Pencil 2 and holds it securely as I carry my iPad around during the course of my day. When I first received my iPad, there were very few case choices available.The first case I purchased was intended to be a placeholder just to protect my iPad until something better came along. It is the Ztotop Case for iPad Pro 12.9 Inch 2018 purchased here on Amazon. It is the equivalent to the Apple Smart Folio, but 1/3 the price. This is a quality case, if you like this style of case. I'm not a fan for the following reasons. This "style" case, of which there are many, does nothing to secure your (expensive) pencil. There is little if any protection on the sides. When setup, this style stand is not very sturdy. It also only offers 2 positions as compared to the ZUGU Muse, which has 10. If you are a fan, I think the Ztotop is a good choice and a bargain price. I have now retired mine in favor of this new ZUGU Muse case.The other case I purchased was the TiKeDa Case for New iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2018 3rd Generation also here on Amazon. This is closer to my favorite style case made by Targus. Unfortunately, Targus (still) does not support the pencil yet. The TiKeDa seems to be one of a few, that in photos and description, all appear to be identical/made by the same manufacturer, but sold by different companies. I haven't tried the others though and can’t confirm this. With the TiKeDa, well, the quality was severely lacking. In addition... While I could pair and charge my pencil. The TiKeDa did nothing to secure my pencil. Thank goodness for Amazon's return policy. I'll wait for Targus to release something that supports the pencil down the road and see how I like it at that time.In the end, this is the 3rd case I've owned and probably the 30th case I've considered, including visits to some brick and mortar stores. So far this ZUGU Muse is the best I've have found. My only gripe it that I don't like that the surface that touches the iPad screen is the very same surface that will touch the table top, your lap, car seat, or whatever surface you choose to use your iPad on. The balance of the design and features are all extremely well done and appear as though they will last.

This case is absolutely worthy of the five stars I gave it (and there are VERY few products that I will rate that high).- It is built very well. The tactile feel of the case all around is great. Smooth enough to feel very nice with just enough texture that it doesn't feel like it will slip out of my grip.- The design of the variable stand angles is great. Ten different positions to choose from and they're all useful.- The magnetic fixing of the stand at the variable angles is a great touch. The stand ALWAYS feels stable and stays in place no matter how steep or shallow the angle.- The case is even PACKAGED intelligently with a piece of foam to ensure that the case doesn't get collapsed and damaged before you get to open it. Too bad Amazon is stupid enough to sometimes just stick a shipping label directly on the shrinkwrap of the box it comes it instead of putting it into a shipping envelope or box.They advertise this as being something you can stick directly to a magnetic / steel surface and "hang" your iPad by the case. While it does work, it's something I would personally not do. The concept of doing to be able to read a recipe while cooking seems great, but who wants to keep walking back to the refrigerator to read the next steps? lolThe stand's magnetic locking system for the kickstand part is pretty unique... Each of the 'tabs' has a magnet attached to it at the end and the base of the case has a steel plate inside for them to stick to. It works great.I would love to see a couple of changes for this case to make it even better...- There is a "tab" along the edge of the case that corresponds to the edge of the iPad where the charging connector is. While this definitely makes it easier to open with your right hand, it isn't as useful for folks that are left-handed. I would love to see them change the design to include the same tab on the opposite edge to mirror this one.- Apple's design of this iPad is such that there is very little edge around the screen. It would be great if there was a case available with just a little bit more of an edge to it as my palms tend to cover part of the screen now while holding my iPad (and I have the 12.9 size). Compared to my first gen Pro 12.9, this one isn't fully visible (screen) unless I take my hands away. Again, this is Apple's stupidity in design that could be compensated for with a case that's just slightly thicker around the edges.Compared to my first gen 12.9 Pro with a Gumdrop case and Apple keyboard, this one is slightly lighter (which means it's heavier overall because I have no external keyboard with this one). Protection is expected to be excellent.

I’m in Canada so was a bit concerned ordering this from the US. But they shipped it right out and I got it fast. It’s by far the best case I ever had for my iPad. The fit is so precise. Well worth the few extra bucks over the price of the cheaper covers.

Con esta repito . La regale y ahora la tengo para mi .

Man darf sich nicht am Gewicht stören. Dafür hat man aber einen stabilen und praktischen Schutz für das Tablet. Die Einstellung des Betrachtungswinkels ist intuitiv und sehr vielfältig.Zugegeben: mit diesem Cover ist da Tablet nicht nur recht schwer, sondern verliert auch das elegante, grazile Aussehen.

Tablet lässt sich einfach in und aus der Hülle nehmen, auch die Tasten für die Lautstärke lassen sich sehr gut bedienen. Die Hülle hat aber mehrere kleine Macken Produktionsfehler; für die Beschädigungen, die schon direkt nach dem Auspacken aus der Originalverpackung zu finden sind, ist der Preis zu hoch.Ich hoffe, die Oberfläche ist nicht so kratzeranfällig wie sie scheint, jedoch verspricht schon der Anfangszustand keine lange Haltbarkeit des Obermaterials.Zudem nimmt die Klappseite der Hülle viel Staub auf, den man dann beim erneuten Aufklappen auf dem Display hat.Wie gut die Hülle bei einem tatsächlichen Sturz schützt, kann ich noch nicht sagen.Nachtrag: (nach Nutzung über mehrerer Monate) Oberflächenmaterial ok. Wie erwartet größere Kratzer, die aber die Hülle in ihrer Aufgabe nicht weiter beeinträchtigen

Alors… comment dire ?Pour commencer, je suis un adepte de l’ipad depuis sa création. J’ai testé toutes les sortes, et j’ai pu constater l’amélioration du produit au fil des années, et surtout l’augmentation du prix. Ce faisant, la bête est devenue tellement chère qu’aujourd’hui, il vaut mieux la protéger le plus efficacement possible, quitte à sacrifier à l’esthétique.Je suis traditionnellement plutôt client de la marque Otterbox, les propositions étant souvent très solides et rassurantes… mais assez grossières ! les STM sont pas mal mais les boutons sont trop rigides avec ces coques. Je pourrais multiplier les coques, aucune ne coche toutes les cases.Et puis, à farfouiller à droite et à gauche, j’ai entendu parler des coques GUZU. Inconnues au bataillon ! Et pour être honnête, près de 70 euros pour une coque au final bon marché, j’ai donné ! Quelques vidéos tests plus tard, je m’interroge : tout le monde semble encenser cette coque, certains la présentant comme LA coque qu’il faut avoir !! Mouais…Allez, je me lance, et j’achète. On verra bien. Au pire, je renverrai, Amazon est plutôt souple sur ce point en général.Qqs jours plus, colis à la maison, j’ouvre, je déballe et… surprise ! conditionnement sérieux, propre, ça s’annonce bien.Je prends la coque en mains : plus légère que j’imaginais, elle semble solide. Je manipule un peu et … allez, disons-le franchement : c’est une TRES TRES TRES bonne surprise !!!Avantages :- utilisation très simple et fonctionnel, avec une inclinaison multiple d’une stabilité et d’une variété unique. En position assis, c’est la première fois qu’une coque tient sans risquer de tomber sur le sol. Le régalge est tellement adaptable qu’une lecture en position allongée n’oblige plus à tenir la tablette. Enfin un constructeur qui pense à ça !- qualité de fabrication premium : les matériaux choisis sont très agréables au toucher, à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur.- sensation de solidité et durabilité du produit : on sent que la coque ne tombera pas en morceau avant longtemps.- la finesse du produit n’est pas sacrifié : en main, on n’a pas l’impression de tenir un tank, mais un produit solide et fin, voire élégant.- le rangement du stylet sur le côté est placé dans une niche qui évite de le faire tomber à la manipulation (j’ai dû racheter un stylet après en avoir fait tomber un, ça pique !). Et en plus, le chargement du stylet est toujours possible dans ce rangement.- les boutons restent accessibles et cliquables, ce qui n’est pas toujours le cas chez la concurrence.- l’installation de l’ipad ne necessite pas de brutaliser la tablette au risque de casser la vitre (si, ça existe !)- le tour plastique de la coque ne vient pas toucher la protection en verre de la tablette si vous en avez installée une… Rien de pire que de voir un coin de sa protection se décoller après avoir glisser son ipad dans sa protection.- vitre protégée par la couverture quand on referme- couplé à un clavier de qualité, on a un produit nomade et productifInconvénients (il y en a toujours) :- système de rangement de stylet au dos à améliorer : rangé dans la housse, le stylet vient en contact de la couverture lorsqu’on la repli vers l’arrière. C’est génant.- la béquille aimantée se replie tellement bien qu’elle claque un peu sèchement à la fermeture. Lorsque le conjoint fait son gros dodo la nuit à côté, le bruit peut surprendre. Un tampon aurait sans doute atténué l’effet.- le revêtement intérieur est très doux mais risque de salissure extrême selon les supports sur lesquels on pose la coque.- couleur limitée dans ma version (12,9 ipad pro 2018), mais depuis, les choses se sont améliorées apparemmentVoilà pour analyse.Bref, je pense que je resterai fidèle à cette marque au vu des prestations proposées et de la qualité du produit.Un très bon achat, élégant et pratique.
