Our take on the Apple Smart Folio for iPad Pro 12.9 (5th Generation)

The Apple Smart Folio is a slim front-and-back cover for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (5th generation). It folds into a stand for typing or watching and attaches magnetically, so there is no frame or strap. It protects the screen and back but adds little bulk. It sits at the top of its usual range and rarely drops far, so it is a premium pick next to third-party folios that add edge protection or a Pencil holder.

Questions and answers

Does it fit older 12.9-inch iPad Pro models?
No. It is made for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 5th generation, and the magnet layout and camera cutout differ on earlier models.
Does it protect the sides and corners?
No. It covers the front and back only, so the aluminum edges stay exposed.
Can I charge the Apple Pencil with it on?
Yes. The folio leaves the magnetic charging edge open, but it has no loop or holder for the Pencil.
Does it have a keyboard?
No. It is a cover and stand only; typing uses the on-screen keyboard or a separate keyboard case.
What is in the box?
Just the Smart Folio. The iPad is sold separately.
Is it worth it over a third-party folio?
It fits precisely and the magnets are strong, but third-party folios often add edge protection or a Pencil holder for less.
