STM Dux Plus for iPad Pro 12.9 3rd-6th Gen: Ultra Protective, Lightweight with Clear Back, Apple Pencil Holder, Battery Saving OnOff Cover - Black

The STM Dux Plus case for the iPad Pro 12.9 (6th, 5th, 4th, and 3rd Gen) has garnered a mixed reception from users, highlighting both its protective qualities and certain weaknesses in design and durability. Many users praise its strong and durable build, emphasizing how well it shields the iPad and protects the Apple Pencil. However, the case has come under scrutiny for its back design, which several reviewers found to be flimsy and unstable, making it less than ideal for activities such as drawing or working on the device. The weak points in the design include issues with the folds, which don't provide adequate support to keep the device upright, despite being advertised as capable of doing so. Moreover, the case has been reported to show signs of wear after regular use, with the cover becoming prone to splitting, delaminating, and peeling over time—often leading users to feel that a replacement is necessary after about a year or two of usage. In terms of aesthetics, while some customers appreciate the functionality, they note that the color of the bumper could be more premium-looking, such as anthracite transparent, to avoid yellowing associated with darker hues. Overall, the STM Dux Plus is seen as a protective option with significant strengths, but it does come with caveats in terms of stability, durability, and aesthetic preferences. **
