The Coverbuddy is a necessity for me as an MBA student that writes my lecture notes I pop it off and use my pencil. When I need to start typing an essay for example it pops back on. No weight complaints from me and I know my pencil is safe and not at the bottom of my bag 🤗 I wish I had this in nursing school. 🙄
The big point of this for me is the Apple Pencil. Period. I like having the Apple Pencil always available and charged because I tend to use it more. But I also like the Smart Keyboard/Magic Keyboard and was not comfortable with just sticking the pencil on top of the iPad, unprotected. Also - I read a lot of magazines on the iPad so take it out of the case, but didn’t like doing so unprotected. The CoverBuddy solves this problem. Thanks for the review.
The bottom of the iPad is exposed because the cover buddy can also be used for the Smart Keyboard folio so the magnetics on the bottom of the iPad match up with the folio
I have had to return 2 of these covers for my iPad Pro 11” as the pass through pins failed (different pins on each cover). Such a shame as the idea is great, I just think they need to re-engineer the pins design to avoid the failures. Update: Since they’ve supposedly released new versions of the CoverBuddy I’ve decided to give it one more go, so ordered a new one from Amazon, and after giving it a thorough inspection, I reckon this one might be OK. I’ll let you know if I get the same problem again!
I switch between keyboard and pencil use often so I was basically forced to purchase this case, as there isn’t an alternative case that works with Magic Keyboard. It’s like a $60 plastic cover. Dbrand skin probably would do the same thing, just protect the back from scratches but I didn’t think of it.
Just came across this video after using the cover buddy for sometime. Pros: Protect the Apple Pencil; Cons: make it harder to charge my iPad through the main port! I also happen to have the Apple Watch Charger from Satechi in which Coverbuddy prevents the charger from working even with the slim design...
Another case to be excited for is the Pitaka MK compatible case getting released on the 24th. Pitaka makes well-built slim cases that have the durability and protection comparable to Mous and otter box. Will def protect the iPad better than the coverbuddy from a fall
Feels like half the product I need. When the ipad is in the magic keyboard it is pretty well protected by the keyboard itself - this doesn’t provide a great deal more. What I want is to be able to grab the pad off the keyboard and have some protection while using it ‘naked’, but this is just doesn’t do it because a whole quarter of the edges are completely bare! This is just a glorified pencil holder with added volume button obstacle.
It’s not an iPhone it’s an iPad, this is just to insure that it doesn’t break. The possibility of it breaking are much lower because it’s a much bigger device, so you don’t really need an otter box type case.
@@GUY-on-Earth not for me - I carry mine around a lot and don’t want the edges getting scratched in my bag or knocked etc. I’m not looking for a super rugged drop-proof, zombie proof case, just full wrap around coverage of some kind.
Hi Jerry! Great video! I had bought one of these a few months back and returned it. I had trouble with external components like my usb hub connecting due to the cover buddy’s usb opening is too small. Lastly I felt the same with regard to value. Too expensive for what it is.

Love your videos! Was on the fence on purchasing the Magic Keyboard and after watching your video I decided to get it. Searched what case to use along with the magic keyboard and you mentioned the CoverBuddy. 😬
I tried iBlason’s (sp??) similar product because the price was better. Unfortunately, it interfered with fit on my Smart Keyboard Folio and was returned. I think that I’ll try this despite the 200% price bump over my previous case cover.
The pitaka magnetic aramid fiber case is so much better than the switcheasy case. My switcheasy didn’t line up great and the corner broke within a couple days. The pitaka feels superior in every way, except it doesn’t have the pencil holder. The pencil still sticks but it’s not secure like the switcheasy. But I’m ok with that to have a far better build quality.
Coverbuddy owner here. Def worth for me. As a student, who takes it off the MK a lot to write notes or do math equations, its def a must. the left side of the iPad is still not protected by the case. Will def recommend getting a Dbrand skin or Sopiguard for the iPad itself if you’re worried about damaging that exposed area. Coverbuddy regarding Amazon, has been getting the “PS4 controller” treatment. Would def recommend that you order from the original site. Not saying everyone who orders it from amazon has this problem, but some of the items at times are faulty and there have been a lot of complaints about how the three magnets on the case will fall out and get lost. This will cause your iPad to not detect the MK and will display the “accessory is not supported” message. It’s always safer to order from the original seller, as its freshly made and checked by them and just overall less risky. However, Amazon’s return policy compared to theirs is def better and more forgiving.
Jerry Schulze haha seems like it! I know a lot of people are against the idea of spending more money and adding weight to the iPad for protection, but it is quite expensive, so def worth for me. I dont want anything bad to happen to mine 😱 Haha
I disagree.... i own that case, iblason halo... it offers more protection but the power button, volume button, and microphones are covered. It did cost more than $22 when I bought it.... regret buying iblason 😓😓
Mmm protects really no I don’t agree it just holds the pencil. That’s it, as a designer I don’t believe it offers much in the way of very very basic protection.
Jerry, do you have the STM Dux shell for the magic/ folio? It’s a bumper case that is compatible with the Smart Keyboard but I’m skeptical of the magic keyboard. You think you can review it?
Quality on this sucked. I tried 2 of them. Both had quality control issues. Them being too small to seat was the issue. Couldn’t fully attach to the iPad. They honored the warranty and accepted both back. After that I gave up, got the iPad Magic Keyboard, and an attachment from ETSY that I epoxied on . It guard the pen well and doesn’t budge. It’s pretty much the way Apple should have made it. Currently testing the BRYDGE 12.9 MAX+.
Omg this is the solution I’ve been looking for. Thank you. I dislike how the folio exposes the iPad edges. Do you know if cover buddy or alternative companies make cases without the pencil holder?
Pitaka MagEZ is one that doesn’t have the big pencil holder on top. I’ve got no experience of it and they don’t seem to have a 2021 compatible model yet but looks good enough
Great video! Thanks for creating and sharing. When not attached to the Magic Keyboard does the Cover Buddy protect the lenses from touching surfaces? I can't help but think that I'm damaging them as I'm drawing and they're rubbing against the table (and what not); but I also can't imagine adding and removing a case when I want to switch from typing to drawing.

Jerry Schulze I just got one about two days ago and I was playing GTA SA on the iPad and I was holding the back and it broke the bottom left corner what should I do.
is there any case that completely surrounds all 4 edges and has a pencil cubby but does not have a screen cover. Essentially a cover buddy but with 4 sides , not 3, and i don’t have a magic keyboard
No it's not. IPad pro is just a multimedia machine. Very difficult to work with when it comes to actual stuff. For that I have to use my wife's windows laptop. My IPad pro 12.9 is collecting dust. It looks pretty... But not productive. File manager is claustrophobic
Pri Pri I love both my iPad pros I haven’t bothered with using it as a computer but it does great with everything else, I love my iPad Pro although I reach for the 10.5 inch more than my 11 inch pro but they’re both beautiful 😍❤️
Honestly with a quarter of the iPad left unprotected you'd be better off getting a skin. I like the idea, I like how thin and lightweight it is, but it still leaves your iPad unprotected for a good chunk of space. I know they left that unprotected because for it to work with the Smart Keyboard, but that means your iPad is only 70% protected, they need to make one that's fully protected to work with the magic keyboard. They need to make a new version that you know... protects the iPad.
I think someone needs to decide if they want to wrap it in a big cushioned case or use it with a keyboard case. If you want more protection probably need to look at logitech if you have the 11”.
@@JerrySchulze yea, however the coverbuddy has good things, it's lightweight, wont protect much on falls but will definitely save you if it lands on the plastic somewhat but for scratches it'll definitely do its job. The problem is that it's not protecting a whole side of the iPad, from scratches OR falls. You buy that product so you can use your iPad without the keyboard when needed so you can use it more confidently, with a whole side unprotected this makes this product horrible and a fail.
@@JerrySchulze i think i will be just for the extra coverage. i recently got the ipad 12.9 a couple months back because i am a college student and the other day i found a hairline crack on my device. i never hit it or anything but thankfully apples warranty was able to replace it. but now i’m trying to make sure that my device is protected as i can get it with the my folio case.
@@JerrySchulze Was looking at something like this but went with a Skin for the iPad and Magic Keyboard from Xtremeskins which basically offers the same scratch resistance and for less money. Also looks 10x better.
