The only case designed by the same people who designed the iPad. The Apple Smart Folio for iPad Pro 11-inch M5 is Apple's own cover for its most powerful iPad — engineered to the same tolerances as the device itself, with the precise cutouts, magnetic alignment, and material quality that third-party cases approximate but cannot replicate.
The Smart Folio provides front and back protection in a single slim profile — the front cover protects the Ultra Retina XDR display, and the back cover shields the aluminium chassis without adding the bulk of a separate back case. The magnetic attachment connects securely and instantly without clips, straps, or alignment effort — the cover finds its position automatically and holds it throughout use.
The new sliding stand design is the standout upgrade for the M5 generation. Unlike the fixed-angle or single-position stands of previous generations, the sliding mechanism provides continuous angular adjustment — dial in the precise tilt for reading, a lower angle for writing with Apple Pencil Pro, a steeper angle for video calls, or any position between. The continuous adjustment makes the Smart Folio genuinely useful as a working stand in a way that fixed positions cannot match.
Auto wake and sleep is seamlessly integrated — open the cover and the iPad Pro wakes instantly; close it and the display sleeps, preserving battery without any manual interaction. It is a small behaviour that becomes deeply embedded in how you use the iPad across a day, and its absence from non-Apple cases is immediately noticeable once you're accustomed to it.
Compatible with both iPad Pro 11-inch M5 and iPad Pro 11-inch M4 — the same Smart Folio fits both generations, making it a future-proof purchase if you're upgrading between models. Available in Black, White, and Denim.
The Apple Smart Folio is the case for iPad Pro owners who want the official Apple experience — not a compromise, not an approximation, but the cover that Apple itself recommends for the device it made.
