Vobafe Case for iPad Pro 12.9 (6th/5th/4th/3rd gen) — TPU flexible cover with Pencil holder & Auto Wake/Sleep
Product description
The essentials
If you’ve got an iPad Pro 12.9 and you want a cover that does more than just look tidy, the Vobafe case is built around everyday protection and convenience. On paper, it combines a microfiber lining, a PU leather-style exterior, and a flexible TPU back cover to help guard against knocks, drops and everyday scratches.
What makes it more than a basic sleeve is the added Pencil holder and the claim of Apple Pencil wireless charging support (without having to remove the pencil). It also includes an Auto Wake/Sleep feature via the folio cover, plus magnetic attachment so you can fold it into a stand for reading, viewing and typing.
That said, there are a couple of points to keep in mind before you buy. “Wireless charging” depends on the pencil and charging setup, and this listing also notes that the pencil isn’t included—so you’ll want to double-check your specific iPad Pro generation and Pencil type before assuming everything lines up perfectly.
Key takeaways (worth noting)
This is aimed at people who want practical coverage for an iPad Pro 12.9, with a folio front for sleep/wake and a flexible TPU back for day-to-day handling. The Pencil holder is positioned as part of the “grab-and-go” workflow, so you can store and protect your pencil while travelling or working at your desk.
If your routine involves frequent switching between writing, reading and video calls, the foldable stand angles are the kind of detail that actually gets used. It’s the sort of case that can reduce faff—less time rummaging for your stylus, more time using the tablet.
What you’ll notice in day-to-day use
The Auto Wake/Sleep is one of the more noticeable features in daily life: opening the cover should wake the iPad instantly, and closing it should power it down to help save battery. It’s not hard to see how this helps if you’re leaving the iPad open on a desk between meetings, or if you regularly pick it up and put it down through the day.
The stand function is also central to the experience. The description says the Smart Folio attaches magnetically and can be folded into multiple positions—for reading, viewing, typing, and even FaceTime calls. In practice, that means you can set the iPad at a comfortable angle without needing an extra stand, which is handy in a kitchen, on a sofa, or at a small desk.
One more everyday consideration: the case is described as having a PU leather exterior and microfiber lining. That implies a softer touch against the tablet, but as with many folio covers, it’s still something you’ll want to handle carefully with grit and sharp objects about.
What stands out about the design
There’s a clear focus on protection that covers the basics well: shock, drop and scratch prevention are explicitly mentioned. The TPU back cover is likely to be the part that absorbs some impact and makes the case easier to live with day after day, while the microfiber lining should help protect the screen area from minor marks.
For artists, students or anyone doing notes regularly, the Pencil holder is the real “use” feature. The case is described as enabling Apple Pencil wireless charging without taking your pencil out, which (if it matches your setup) means fewer steps when you’re topping up between sessions.

Compatibility & requirements
This case is specifically described for an iPad Pro 12.9 inch across multiple generations: 6th generation (2022) with model numbers A2436/A2437/A2764/A2766, 5th generation (2021) with A2378/A2461/A2379/A2462, 4th generation (2020) with A2229/A2069/A2232/A2233, and 3rd generation (2018) with A1876/A2014/A1895/A1983.
It’s also explicitly positioned for Apple Pencil wireless charging support, but the listing doesn’t include the pencil. So it’s worth checking that your Pencil model and your iPad setup match the charging claim before committing.
Is it worth it?
A solid pick if you want an iPad Pro 12.9 case that combines basic drop/scratch protection with a folio-style cover for Auto Wake/Sleep, and you also want your Apple Pencil stored safely with the option of wireless charging without removing it.
It may not be a great match if you’re very sensitive to fit details, because compatibility is generation- and model-number-specific, and the charging behaviour depends heavily on your exact Pencil setup. Also, if you’re only after minimal protection or don’t use your iPad in stand mode, you might find the folio features more than you need.
For most people using a 12.9-inch iPad in daily study/work setups—desk, travel, couch—this kind of case makes sense because it removes friction: open to wake, fold into a usable angle, keep the Pencil to hand.
