They do have smart covers for the 6th gen

I could be wrong with the magnet placement, although when I look at the compatibility for the 6th gen it doesn’t like the pro.


If you have an apple store nearby you could always take your device in and give it a try.

Smart cover, no. Those attach with special magnets the 6th gen does not have.

One advantage of amazon, they hold their retailers to good return policies. So if it doesn’t work they can likely return it. (just make sure the listing doens’t note that it’s as is or anything like that)


I’ve only had to return stuff on amazon a couple of times but have had no issue either time.

I do really well on Amazon. I finally received a Hard Shell Backlit Keyboard Case for my iPad Pro 11, which I've waited a long time for. The thing is simply awesome and it's all aluminum and really well made. And you're right, if something doesn't work for you, just open a return with Amazon and boom, no issue returning something and getting your money back.


A lot of people don't know this, but in December, Amazon and Apple came to a deal and Apple has opened an Apple Store on Amazon.
