Welcome everyone to Ricky's tech talk in In today's video I'll be taking a look at
the brand's new apple smart folio cover and this is for the brand's new iPad 12.9 inch
iPad Pro 2021 model so let's take a look at this together today so on the front here we've got iPad
you've got smart folio and it comes in a range of different colours and I'll go through them in a
second but just to let you know I've got the deep navy blue version turn around to the back we can
just get a bit more information here so again you've got the name you can see how it closes
and this will wake and put your iPad to sleep it can be then put in two different positions for
reading viewing or for facetime or for watching content here in the UK it is 99 pounds and i
will put the link in the description it just reminds you down here at the bottom it's gonna work for
the third fourth and fifth-generation models so this should work with the new one the only
the difference is if you go for the smart keyboard you might need the new one just because they slightly
changed the depth of this iPad so no need to get any tape or scissors all you do is pull
it should just slide out I think there's some magnets here there we go so it just slides out
and we've got our new cover here so I'm just going to take the top corner here of the cover
to lift out so lift out and then what we can do is put this back away so it's like a book
cover it opens up so inside is a very soft textured design to protect the back of your
iPad and also your display is made from a single sheet of polyurethane to protect the front and
the back of your iPad as it is a large iPad with a big screen, i did want to make sure it
was well protected so on the back here we've got a square designed for the camera cutouts
and these can be wiped down as well there's an apple logo I've just noticed down the back
and as I said you've got a soft textured design inside here to protect the back and the front of
your iPad so bringing in my iPad here just gonna fit in and it should automatically just click
straight in and it does which is really nice there and that will be well protected now if
you cover over your iPad you hear a click and it's going to sleep and as soon as I lift up it's
awake and ready to use and we'll go back to sleep again so it's really helpful with the battery I'm
just going to quickly glance at my iPad to open up swipe up we're back in and then it's time to
show you the way you can move this around and the different positions it has
so you've got your sleep-wake option there then if you start to fold around in different ways you can
then either stand up your iPad like this and I'll take a different shot as well where you can see it
but you can have it standing up and this will be great for face time essentially
with that new centre stage option, you can be in the shot always or when other people can come
in the camera wide ends up and everyone can get in shots it's great for watching content it's
great for looking through websites and sharing information with people as well like this option
and the other option is for typing or again for viewing content depending what the way you want
to do it and that is simply just lay it down like this so this comes in really handy when you
want to create a note or when you want to maybe do some typing we've got a big keyboard here we
don't even need to load anything up and with a big keyboard full-size keyboard you can just type away
and do whatever you want to so it caught up with me there because I thought I was going to zoom in
but that's the way you could do it and again you could view content as well this way
and I think that's really nice options so they do have some colour options to choose from so it's up
to you which one you choose but I want to know what's your favourite colour and why you've gone
for that colour so they have electric orange which is a really bright and vibrant orange
they have a deep navy which we have here which is a navy blue they have a mallard green which
is a subtle dark green colour they have white or black five different options to choose from there
and you can make your iPad your own I've gone for the silver and silver and blue is really
nice both I and my partner really like the colour blue and we have multiple different blue
things throughout our home it is available here in the UK and us and other apple stores but
here in the UK it's going to cost you 99 pounds which is quite a lot but it's a lot less than the
329 pounds for the apple smart keyboard which i didn't really use that much on my iPad pro
11-inch version so I've gone for just a cover and i'll type like this easily on the train or i
could even get a keyboard if i wanted to or maybe upgrade to that smart keyboard in the near future
but it's ready to use it will protect my iPad now i've been a little bit worried not
having any protection on it i have opted for apple care plus as well just to make sure that there's
no damage and i can get anything fixed easily being visually impaired i knock things overall
