Moft's new snap float case for the iPad Pro and iPad Mini is a great example of why you should be asking more from your case than just passive protection.
It is made from vegan leather, so you don't have to worry about an animal giving its life to protect the device you mostly use to play Wordle. You can find cheap cases on Amazon.
Moft has taken that idea to the next level. The ability to support an iPad in four different positions is thanks to the magnets built into the back of the iPad. Two floating modes elevate the iPad off a desk several inches to position it closer to eye level, and two floating modes position the iPad at different angles to interact with it.
