15 most interesting iPad Pro 11 (2018) covers that are available so far
A round-up of the best case covers and sleeves for the newest iPad Pro 11-inch tablet released in 2018
The 3rd-generation iPad Pro tablets are Apple’s most advanced mobile devices ever.
Both the 11-inch iPad Pro and the larger 12.9-inch version sport Liquid Retina all-screen display, Face ID, A12X Bionic Chip with Neural Engine, and USB-C connector replacing Lightning port.
The newest tablets come in two colors (Space Gray and Silver), and you can choose from four storage options: 64 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB.
As usual, the new iPads are released together with original Apple accessories. This time it’s the 2nd-generation Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard Folio.
If you prefer getting third-party cases, you’ll need to wait for some time. The new iPads have different dimensions than their predecessors. Plus there is edge-to-edge display, and different locations of the rear camera and ports.
iPad Pro dimensions ( height × width × depth )
| Model | Inches | Millimeters |
|---|---|---|
| iPad Pro 11 (2018) | 9.74 × 7.02 × 0.23 | 247.6 × 178.5 × 5.9 |
| iPad Pro 10.5 (2017) | 9.80 × 6.8 × 0.24 | 250.6 × 174.1 × 6.1 |
What you have to keep in mind is that the Apple Pencil 2 can be attached to the side of the iPad using built-in magnets. Once it’s done, the iPad automatically starts charging the pen.
A case cover designed to work specifically with the 2018 iPad Pro should support this function.
We will update the list when a bunch of new and interesting cases are revealed. If you have a question or comment, make sure to reach us in social media or via the contact form.

iPad Pro 11 (2018)
Like a computer. Unlike any computer
With the new iPad Pro, you get what you need from a computer, along with many incredible things you’d never expect from one. Here are a few reasons why your next computer just might be iPad Pro.
More powerful than most computers
iPad Pro features the A12X Bionic chip with a Neural Engine. Which transforms how you experience photos, gaming, and augmented reality. A12X Bionic also makes iPad Pro faster than most PC laptops and powerful enough to handle the apps you use every day. And even pro apps like Adobe Photoshop CC.
Thinner than the thinnest laptop
It weighs barely a pound and has up to 10 hours of battery life to keep you going all day.1 Stay connected on the go with fast Wi‑Fi and Gigabit‑class LTE.2 You can even print, project, and send files wirelessly.
Does what a computer does
Use multiple apps at the same time with a few taps. Move objects between apps simply by dragging and dropping, or switch apps with a single swipe.
Works with a keyboard when you need one
The full‑size onscreen keyboard lets you respond to an email or write a paper, and it even acts as a trackpad. And if you want a full‑size physical keyboard, just attach the Smart Keyboard Folio for a great typing experience and front and back protection.
Made to protect your privacy
Your stuff is safe. That’s because iPad Pro comes with features like Face ID, the most secure facial authentication system in a tablet or a computer. And it has features like Intelligent Tracking Prevention in Safari, which helps protect against websites collecting your personal data.
