Kinda stupid but I’ve been asking ESR if they’d make a case with a removable folio ever since they released this for the iPad mini maybe 4 months ago. They said something like “appreciate the feedback yada yada” then they released this damn case a couple months later and I asked to do the same without the pencil holder, no response. Then they just released that case for the air so I nagged them and got that response. I probably didn’t impact anything but I’ll just tell my grand kids I did.
I recently got a hybrid folio case. The cover is attached with magnets, so you can easily take it off whenever. It is really well built too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GVTTKKH?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details&th=1
I think @undergroundgirl7 is referring to this ESR hybrid case:
The one you bought @Smiley_Critters looks like the ESR trifold. The names of the cases on Amazon are really confusing. If you go to the Esr site they’re more simply laid out.
I got Esr magnetic case but don’t like it because the edges are annoying to hold for a while. Same problem I found with the Apple Smart Folio.
I’ve thought about the Zugu because I want the variety of stand levels but man it’s ugly (and maybe will be too heavy for me too)
I’m leaning towards going with the Esr Magnetic and getting some type of separate stand for it.
Man I miss my old iPad Air 2 Apple case, that was way better than the two I’ve tried so far, it had a great run haha
