I won't sit here and name all the reasons you should consider the 11-inch iPad Pro over the larger 12.9-inch version, but Apple's smaller Pro tablet has plenty of advantages that make it a great tablet, not least of which is its smaller form factor. The more compact design makes it easier to carry around wherever you roam, but with that increased portability, getting a case is the best way to ensure your 11-inch iPad Pro is always protected.
I've used many cases over the years with many different iPads, including the iPad Pro, and much like the best 12.9-inch iPad Pro cases, it's not just the protection you consider but also style and functionality. Here are the best 11-inch iPad Pro cases available today.
