In late 2022, Apple launched an M2-powered iPad Pro in 11-inch and 12.9-inch variants. While the 2021 iPad Pro was a significant upgrade over the 2020 model, the 2022 version only came with minor differences; this time around, the company didn’t change much, apart from bumping the chip from M1 to M2 and introducing an Apple Pencil hover feature. Other than those tweaks, this tablet retains pretty much all the technical specifications of its predecessor. This means that the dimensions are identical. Thus, cases designed for the 2021 model will work perfectly on the 2022 variant and vice versa. And considering its high price tag, you really should invest in a case. Otherwise, a single drop could cost you hundreds of dollars in repairs. To simplify the process for you, we’ve picked some of the best iPad Pro 12.9-inch cases currently available.
