what's up everybody this is the mag easy case 2 for the ipad pro
12.9 inch by pataka let's check it out
all right everybody so you might have seen my previous review where i unboxed the case
for your case by all case basically what it allows you to do is uh have a second case inside of the
folio and the smart keyboards i wanted to protect my case a little bit more but i think i found
something different i'm going to try out this is by pitaka i've done a review on their iphone cases
and i'm very happy with that case i use it all the time for what i want to have something like nimble
they're a trusted brand they make good stuff and i like the way the aramid fiber stuff looks
my goal with this case is to have something on the ipad that will protect it for when i'm
taking the ipad out of the smart keyboard i use a smart keyboard pretty much
all day long but occasionally when i'm sitting on the couch or just want to consume some media i'll
pop it off and i don't like having the naked ipad i'm just one of those people that worries about it
now going back to the other case that i have on here right i like it for what it is it's
great it's cheap it's very affordable and it kind of checks all the boxes
it has the pencil holder it offers some base protection it has the pass-through
so the keyboards will work but some gripes i have are the volume rockers are really hard to get to
um the power is okay okay to get to the speaker grills don't all line up exactly as they should
and one super annoying thing and i kind of try to rectify this you can see it's a little chewed up
the power port is was off-centered it was more like that accessible i had to take a
drill bit and kind of make it bigger and still doesn't allow the plug to go in there correctly
and you kind of get what you pay for this is a very inexpensive case and for what i paid for
it it's not bad but there was definitely some room for improvement so i'm hoping that the
pataka case will kind of make up where that lacked so let's get back to the product first
let's take a look at the actual packaging
i'm gonna take the screen off of it the film off of it because it's kind of hard to film
gives a better look
at the packaging contents here
so pretty straightforward mag is a case too for the ipad pro by pataka a magnetically
attaching ipad pro case compatible with apple magic keyboard and magic easy accessories
we'll talk about some of the accessories in a little bit so i got the black and gray twill
one it's compatible with the fifth gen so it should fit mine magnetic attachment now
pitaka has like their own brand of like stands and car phone holders that they have their own little
magnetic square in the middle of them so i'm not sure if that's part of the magnetic capability of
the ipad itself or something built into the case but we'll play with that in a little bit so it
has a magnetic attachment so it should go right into the keyboard that i have the magic keyboard
super lightweight it's made of aramid and it's very thin i'm excited about that
um easy access to features that's gonna be an important one now they kind of show the cutout
down here a little bit more prominently than the other case i have so hopefully
i don't have as many problems attaching the power adapter here um it's made again it's made of the
aramid fiber and it will work with that easy stand which i might try at some point onto the
back okay so that already looks way better the cutout for the power um it kind of just goes over
in more detail the things we found in the front so let's break into it i paid about 60 bucks for
this on amazon i will throw a link in the video description i have nothing else to open here
something's holding on to it
okay
okay so the packaging is what you'd expect from patak at this point if you've ever
opened one of their phone cases the phone the boxing is very nice this cardboard feels good
a little thank you in here let's check that out
okay cool so that goes over some of their accessories a giant stand wallets phone
chargers power banks and other products as well nothing as far as directions as of yet
and that's to scan for more things to buy
pretty neat nothing else in there pop this out see what we have so far
okay
okay cool so instructions here installing your magazine case okay so they want you to
lay it down with the camera bump on this side the camera cut out on this side so it'll go like this
right so lay like that and you slide the ipad into it pretty straight forward i do like that they
include video instructions that's pretty neat qr code video instructions so if you're not sure how
to process this all you can go there check that out and it's multiple languages as well pretty
awesome so again lay it down slide it in click it down and it shows the pencil works on top as well
let's take a look at the product so it feels very nice already
um i like the way the iron made fibers feel on the back it's definitely got a more premium
feel than the previous case it had on there a little bit of protection around the camera bump
the buttons have not cut outs but it's actually little pieces of plastic should make pressing
those down a little better there's a groove here for the apple pencil i like that so it'll probably
stain a little bit better have your cutouts we'll see how well those align and i already like this
power port cut out a lot better it looks like they left a lot more room there i can already
tell just from the way that's shaped that there's definitely a lot more room and the same with the
last case the bottom is left open um not much more to really see there you got the power cut out
i like that they have that piece of plastic there so that you're not
reaching into a hole you're just pressing something that reaches down into the hole
all right let's try it out so as per the
instructions make sure i'm doing this right lay it down
okay let's try that again here slide it down
press
that's definitely tight
okay getting that on is definitely not for the faint of heart it's a little bit tight
and i can see where the problem lies as far as why it's so tight there is a
little piece of plastic there to hold the front on
which i guess is all right i do like this case definitely has some pluses
already it grabs onto the front in many more spots over the previous case i had on here
it feels great has a solid reliable
tight tolerance feel to it let's get the keyboard case out and try that real quick
this thing working is critical to my workflow i use this thing pretty much every single day
okay no problem i can get down into the buttons perfectly power button works good
apply them up and down perfect
volume up and down good
tolerances feel nice it closes well inside of the keyboard case
and it does exactly what i want adds that protection around here i don't have the
pencil i really have no need for it i'm not an artist but hey maybe one day i'll get it
so the cutouts definitely seem more designed for this case um more accurately designed the mics are
perfect the tolerances are tight but they're all the speaker holes are available on the speakers
again the cutout for the power is very prominent
it's perfect it's even got like a beveled edge so you should be able to get your
plug in there no problem and the other speakers are clearly available as well
i'm already feeling this i'm already liking it a lot better than the previous case
comes off it magnetically attaches really well
not flimsy doesn't feel like it's going to disconnect
but it comes off good enough so perfect yeah i think that'll about do it i'll um definitely
review that a little bit more or use a little bit more after i daily drive it for a few days
and give you my second thoughts but as of right now it definitely seems like a much more high
quality complete case again you're paying two or three times the amount for this case over the
all case i'll put a card to that video somewhere over here
um for you to check out but if you're looking for a case that goes that's light will protect
your your ipad a little bit and works with the folio case or the smart keyboard
this is going to be it if you like the video hit the thumbs up if you don't that thumbs down is
gone so you can't hit that but leave a comment if you don't let me know what you want me to change
in the video so i'll try and do better next time and as always i appreciate the subscription peace
you
