The Best iPad Pro Cases, Keyboards & Stands

November 13, 2015/ The Gadgetmac Team

The iPad Pro is one of the best content creation and content consumption devices on the market, for both creatives and novice users alike. And now that Apple introduced such a huge, and some might even say unwieldy tablet, it's even more important that you have some kind of stand feature for a comfortable hands-free user experience when you need it. And of course you probably want to add some protection to your $800+ slab of metal and glass. But Apple's decision to sell separate front and back protective accessories for the iPad Pro instead of an all-encompassing Smart Case option will undoubtedly leave users upset and left looking for third party alternatives.

In case you haven't noticed yet, even Apple's Smart Keyboard accessory for the iPad Pro is really a Smart Cover that doesn't offer any back or side protection. One way to avoid paying so much for a mere Smart Cover and still get the same hands-free functionality is to get a protective case with a built-in stand feature. Which is exactly the reason we've put together a an easy way for you to pick out a great case for your iPad Pro whether it's full on protection you're looking for, a standalone stand, a tempered glass screen protector, or a keyboard case that will actually offer folio-like 360-degree protection. Be sure to catch the full roundup of some of the best iPad Pro accessories you can get right now down below!

The Best Ultra-Thin iPhone 6 / 6 Plus Cases Guide

October 27, 2014/ The Gadgetmac Team

For this edition of the Gadgetmac Guide we've rounded up a very particular set of minimalist cases for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Cases that that are so thin and slim you won't even noticed you're using protection. We're talking about the elusive ultra-thin class of impossibly slim cases that aren't made to offer drop protection, but are designed to make it feel like you're holding onto the bare naked body of your seamlessly rounded iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. At only under 0.4mm, all these cases have got left to offer is light protection against scratches, nicks and small dents that can be caused from normal everyday use. The goal in using such a thin case is to add a nearly indiscernible layer of lightweight protection that will not interfere with the original design of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Because no one really wants to make a big iPhone, especially the iPhone 6 Plus, even bigger. While there are plenty of slim cases on offer, we are only going to be featuring the slimmest there are at 0.4mm, all the way down to just 0.35mm thick. How slim is that exactly? To put things into prospective – as thin as an eggshell. These cases are so slim that even the back-facing camera on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will still protrude above the flat surface of the case.

The tradeoff of course is that these ultra-thin and slim cases aren't going to provide any screen protection like an ordinary case with a lip surrounding the glass, which fortunately means that you'll be able to slide your finger off that perfectly rounded glass edge. And what iPhone 6 and 6 Plus user is going to argue with that. It's also worth mentioning that every single one of these cases is compatible with tempered glass screen protectors in case you'd like to protect the front side of your device and not only the back, sides and edges. So if you're someone that's looking for a case to keep all of that super slim all-aluminum unibody construction in mint, out-of-the-box condition without adding a single ounce of bulk, this guide is for you. These are some of the best thinnest, skin-tight cases for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and the full list is right down below!
