Zugu Case iPad Pro 12.9 (2021/2022) vs ProCase Slim Case for iPad Pro 12.9

Buy the ZUGU if you want maximum protection and a stand you can actually use on a lap or a kitchen counter. Its 10-angle magnetic stand, 5 ft drop rating and free iPad screen repair coverage are things the ProCase does not attempt. The ProCase is the lighter, slimmer pick for older 3rd and 4th gen Pros and for people who carry the tablet in a bag all day. Owners rate both highly, but the ZUGU's 4.8 from 792 ratings and its 2-year warranty carry more weight than the ProCase's 4.7 from 251.

  • Choose the ZUGU if you have a 2021 or 2022 12.9-inch iPad Pro and want a sturdy multi-angle stand plus real drop protection.
  • Choose the ProCase if you own a 2018 or 2020 12.9-inch iPad Pro, or you want the thinnest, lightest shell that still holds the Pencil.

What reviewers say

Questions and answers

Which is better for watching video or typing on a desk?
The ZUGU. Its magnetic stand locks at 10 angles, so you can set a steep angle for typing or a shallow one for video. The ProCase cover folds back but does not hold a set angle.
Will the ProCase fit my 2020 iPad Pro 12.9?
Yes. The ProCase covers the 3rd and 4th gen (2018 and 2020) as well as the 5th and 6th gen. The ZUGU fits only the 2021 and 2022 models, so a 2020 owner has to pick the ProCase.
Which one protects better if I drop it?
The ZUGU. It is rated for 5 ft drops and wraps the corners in thicker material. The ProCase is a slim hard shell meant for bumps and scratches, not drops onto hard floors.
Is the ZUGU worth stepping up to over the ProCase?
If you use the iPad as a laptop stand-in or hand it to kids, yes. The stand, the drop rating and the free screen repair coverage are real advantages. If the iPad mostly rides in a bag, the lighter ProCase is enough.
Does either case block Apple Pencil charging?
No. Both support Apple Pencil 2 wireless charging on the side of the iPad. Neither includes a Pencil.
Which is easier to carry around all day?
The ProCase. It weighs about 5 oz less and is roughly half as thick, so it slips into a bag more easily. The ZUGU is the better choice when you plan to prop the iPad up rather than carry it.
