Mine has turned up but the smart lock/unlock doesn't seem to be working.

There is an option in the settings to allow the case to lock/unlock your ipad.

Afaik the 9.7" pro has the magnets in different position as old ipad air's -> old covers won't work very well with it.

Third party cases are hit and miss.

The options are set to on and I've sort of made it work if I shuffle the cover about when I close it but it's really not very reliable.

Well our company on advice from employees chose the surface which business appear to be doing in general. Not a lot more I can add.

Unfortunately for MS businesses just aren't buying it in any real volume.

So one model for one quarter in one country - amazing success for MS.

Well it's a start, and as usual it doesn't take much effort to prove your BS statements wrong

Yeah reminds me of MS bragging about outselling the PS4. For one quarter. Once.

Bit of a weird question, looking to buy an iPad Pro 9.7 tomorrow, looking to use it at the gym as well on the treadmill to watch videos. The treadmills have a little ledge that looks plenty wide enough for the iPad to fit on.

Question is, does anyone have any suggestions for a good grippy back cover that also fully protects the rear camera bump? I'm trying to decide between the official Apple silicone cover which seems very steep at £55 or a cheap and cheerful gel case.

Anyone using a a keyboard for the iPad Pro 9.7" ? Which one is recommended ?

I've a 10.5, not the smaller one, and went for the Apple keyboard... looked at the Logitech backlit smart keyboard, and tried one in the Metrocentre Apple Store and it's canny heavy. I think the 9.7 keyboard's obviously a little smaller/cramped than the 10.5/12.9 versions, but it's still a damn decent keyboard (for me).

On another note, and probably a longshot, but has anyone else tried a Swiftpoint GT wireless mouse with the iPad Pro for use in VDI/RDP applications? Very keen on it, but the price is a bit of a factor!

Very are doing the 64GB 10" iPad Pros for £619 with £100 off.

I'd rather pay the extra £100 not to use Very

How is the keyboard on the 10.5? I have to go to some training soon and my laptops GPU died a few weeks ago so figured I may just buy a keyboard for my iPad pro and type it up on that.

I've the Apple Keyboard and one of the Brydge ones - much prefer the brydge unit, even though it's heavier.

New iPad looks good https://www.macrumors.com

Let's see if the MacBook range also gets a refresh. Live updates now.

Those do look really nice... But a bit pricey! I wont be using it too often so the weight isn't a major factor for me

great price, shame it's not got the thin display....but I'd rather have the a10 and cheap price. We'll, I'd like the A10, cheap price AND the thin display but hey ho. Tempted as the kids broke the mrs ipads screen at the weekend.

I don’t have the Brydge like @MacRS4, just the ASK... I use it for VDI and remote desktop work, with a fair bit of typing as a result, and it does fine for me personally. Pretty much replaced my shonky Dell Latitude that work force on us.

Saying that though, @MacRS4 what is the Brydge like with the backlit keyboard? I do miss that from the Macbook Air I had and the Latitude.
