Hi Brent! Thanks for taking the time to comment, but this is news to me. I’m wondering what the issue is? The only thing that I noticed is that the magnets on the folio cover aren’t strong enough, or perhaps not aligned quite right, to keep the cover closed. Auto sleep wake still works, though. But in terms of weight and bulk, this is exactly the same as the Shift case for the 2022 iPad Pro, so no surprises there…
@@TheTechReviewer probably the magnets at the front not strong enough to the flap close or the last (furthest) magnetic groove where the stand goes for the 13 inch case now has the ESR logo, but if you were to put the bottom flap at the last groove, it’s not stable at all.
bought one and solved the problem on the cover and having the pencil at the top. i used the flap on my old esr folio case and slap it to this one. lol ruclips.net/user/shortss5b9UwJ5or4?si=I-whqqIyjdVXJ2Pi
You mean the iPad Pro M4 13 inch? I don’t know. I only have experience with the 11 inch. But with the 11 inch, it closes only so so. There is no strap to keep things securely closed, and the magnetic attraction is not that strong…
I just got one in black for my iPad Air 13. I used to have the Zugu case but seems they stopped making it for newer iPads, this ESR case is so much better in terms of being able to put it vertical and removing it
Great to hear! Thanks for sharing! I don't have any experience with Zugu yet, but will hopefully be able to check them out when they release the iPad Pro M4 11 inch version later this summer...
Hi Adam! It is very versatile…I love the option to use the inner case by itself. And the stand functionality is great…extremely stable in all the various angles
I think the SHIFT is a great case for the 2024 iPad Pro 11 inch. You have a lot of options for your iPad Pro positioning and 9 angles to put your iPad Pro into. Lots to love with the SHIFT!
Nope! Sadly, the ESR case parts are not interchangeable...at least none of the ones I have, anyway. The magnets are positioned differently...very frustrating! The Shift won't play nice with the Rebound 360 keyboard case, the Rebound Hybrid case, etc... So sorry!!
@@TheTechReviewerok, thank you for the answer. So I might be better off with the shift case and a seperate bluetooth keyboard and mouse/trackpad. Only thing I don't like about the shift case is that it doesn't have the pencil flap 😆 why is it so hard to find an all in one solution 😅
@artofhansjacob That’s a good idea…that really might work well. And the Shift is a great iPad Pro case…my favorite of all the iPad Pro cases I’ve reviewed so far. I also wish it had a closure flap which protected the Apple Pencil Pro when charging and also kept the folio cover closed. It’s an odd omission…I’m thinking that ESR didn’t want to add any more appearance of thickness to the Shift and that’s why they left it off. So I’m guessing from your screen name that you are an artist?
@@TheTechReviewer yes, I try to use the iPad Pro for illustration and character design work in procreate, and recently took it on myself to do book setups in Affinity Publisher, hence the need for typing as well 🙂 touchscreen navigation in text on the ipad has been a challenge 😅 still rocking a 2017 ipad pro model. Need an upgrade 😁 I do have a computer and cintiq just in case.
Don’t buy this. It has an issue and ESR is releasing a newer version in June. This case is way too busy as well adding weight.
What’s the issue?

Awesome!! That's a great idea...appreciated your Short. So, how is it attached on the back side of the Shift...glue?
@@TheTechReviewer between the plastic case and back case of the shift. you can glue it or just let the back magnet hold it.
Does this case keep closed properly for the 2024 iPad 13 pro? Thanks.

I wish ESR redesign their Rebound Hybrid 360 case with the level of magnets of this or even stronger magnet. The Rebound Hybrid 360 magnets is mehhh.
Yep...kinda underwhelmed by the Rebound Hybrid 360 magnets...

Thanks for the review, I am definitely ordering this case. It reminds me of an improved and less bulky Zugu case
Hi Eric! I’ve heard that comparison with Zugu from a lot of people. I don’t have any experience with the Zugu case, though…
Wow, looks heavy
Well, it’s not light.🤣 But I wouldn’t say it is very heavy either. I think it is more bulky than heavy, and you get a lot of functionality!
I think this definitely one of the better case options. Very versatile.

Which one to buy for ipad 11 2024

Nice review as always 😊
Thanks, Mary! Appreciate the support, and I hope you have a great weekend!!
Do you know if this shift case and the esr keyboard case would be interchangeable ? They look similar but the magnets could be differently ligned up.

Cool! If you upgrade, I think you'll find the new iPad Pro to be big improvement over the 2017 model!!
Nice video
Thanks, Ari! I really like this Shift case. It has super strong magnets and is very versatile 😊
Great review, thank you😊
Thanks!! Did you buy the new iPad Pro?
@@TheTechReviewer I did the 13”
Nice!! Space Black or Silver? Have you received it yet? The 13 inch is so beautiful!!
