What is going on, guys?
It is Mike, welcome back to Tech 24/7 TV.
It is great to have you back here.
Now today's video, we're unboxing
another new product.
This is the Pitaka MagEZ Case for the iPad Pro and
the iPad Air.
Now, everyone knows what the problem is, right?
So you have your iPad, if you put it in the magic keyboard or
any of the keyboard cases, the sides are going to be
all exposed, allowing your iPad to have a bad day and get nicks
and bruises on it.
Well, this is basically a sleeve to protect your
iPad Pro.
Now, if you remember, I reviewed the CoverBuddy from
SwitchEasy probably three or four months ago.
And it was I mean, it was a great product at the time.
And there was some trouble with that.
If you remember, it didn't close correctly.
If you're using the magic keyboard.
Well, good things.
You know, there's another company that's out there that's
making a comparable product.
I did go ahead and purchases this from Pitaka directly,
which you can go and find links to their website down in
the description below.
Now, this squarely addresses what I think
those downfalls are.
Now, the Pitaka case is all aramid fiber, just like all
the products are.
And it's a thin fit case for your iPad Pro so when you are
using it, whether it's in the Magic Keyboard, whether it's in
the Slim Folio case, any of the accessories here, the sides of
the iPad Pro are going to be protected.
That is great.
Now, this is a product like I said, here is a sleeve that
covers your iPad Pro.
It covers the entire back.
This product is made out of all aramid fiber and it's really
something that I think is kind of a no brainer for, you know,
having an accessory for your iPad.
This allows, you know, the back to be completely covered and
it's going to stop anything from hitting your iPad and kind
of causing bumps and bruises, you know, along the way.
Now, if we look here along the top, we see that you have
cutouts for the speakers.
You have cutouts for the microphone and then also for
the power key here.
This is a very tactile button.
Right, it works exactly as you expected to.
Here is that volume rocker button.
All right.
And then also you have the place for the apple pencil and
it magnetically attaches and charges as again,
as you would expect.
Here along the bottom, you got the cutouts for the speakers
again and you have a nice big cut out for the USB-C plug.
Now, the problem with one of the big problems with the
version from CoverBuddy is that this didn't allow for many
different sized USB plugs.
Unless you're really using the apple, bring the charger.
Now, I don't know about you, but I use many different
chargers in my life.
Many different USB cables made different accessories that plug
into the bottom here.
And for this one, I haven't experienced any issues
with that yet.
So this product here now, when you flip it around
the side, this is the exposed side,
obviously, the side that can be down inside of
the magic keyboard.
Now, let's go ahead and put inside the magic keyboard.
So here we have the magic keyboard case.
Can do a finagling here and see it magnetically attaches.
All right, that is in there, and like you would expect,
this does close completely.
You see here there's no gap along the sides or along the
bottom like there was with the CoverBuddy.
If you look at this here, let's find a good angle.
There is a thin lip along the three sides of this case that
where if you were to put this face down, does absorb the
type of pressure being on this.
And you should be able to go ahead and have this on there
without it being scratched.
Also, it should go ahead and be compatible with screen
protectors if you have them on your iPad.
Unfortunately, I don't use a screen protector, but if you
end up picking one up and you use a screen protector, let me
know how it fits down in the comments below.
So it is nice in that respect.
Now, if you want to take it off, what you're going to go
and do is I just cut my finger here before the video shoot.
So to just be easy on me, I'm going to go ahead and just
kind of prop the sides here.
And then you see comes up and then there is the
case itself inside.
This is all going to be plastic
and easy to put in, easy to take off, which is exactly
what you want.
Maybe you have to take it off for some reason.
Whatever the case is, you can go and use this in
any orientation, whether you're in portrait,
whether in landscape, whether you're in the
magic keyboard, whether you're on the couch,
it doesn't really matter.
It does allow you to go ahead and be used.
And it's a great addition to your iPad for 70 bucks.
It's really kind of a no brainer, in my opinion,
to protect the investment that costs, you know,
several hundred dollars on up.
Again, this is the Pitaka MagEZ case from Pitaka.
This is sixty-nine
ninety-nine ($69.99).
Works with the eleven-inch iPad Pro, the twelve-point
nine-inch iPad Pro, and now the new eleven-inch iPad Air.
I'll put links down in the description because the only
place that I've seen that you can buy it is on Pitaka's
website and as more places become available, I'll add that
there in the video description.
Otherwise this is I think again a no-brainer for seventy
dollars where you can pick this up and it's going to, I think,
just improve your experience with the iPad because you don't
worry about anything happening on there.
You know, actually one thing here: I know about ninety
percent of the people that are watching this video,
you aren't subscribed.
Now, I do this several times a week.
So if you like product review videos like this.
Pitaka MagEZ, a case that you're watching,
you like iPads, you like iPhones, you know,
whatever the case is, make sure you are subscribed.
Click notifications, cause I have a ton of other content
planned for the rest of the year.
We have new iPhones coming.
You know that there's a new Mac there.

new products are coming out.
I am Mike, this is tech 24/7 TV.
