Apple case or cover model names for early generation iPad Pro 12.9 mod#A1584 (2016)?

My iPad Pro Apple case is finally wearing out and I'm trying to locate an exact replacement. My case covers the back and is in two pieces. The back is one. The second piece is the tri-fold cover. The cover is easily removed because it attaches and closes with magnets. All surfaces have a nice, friendly, soft surface feel although the material is actually fairly rigid.

I'm having a difficult time differentiating this case with other so called 'covers'. Does anyone know what the original Apple Branded covers/cases were called or the model number of the case I'm describing? (I wish Apple still offered this product for past gen. iPad Pros)

You'll wiil NOT be able to find the original Apple branded cover and back case for that old an iPad Pro any longer.

There are still plenty of third party case makers that still make full cover/case combinations for these 7 and 8-year old iPad Pro models.

Look to Amazon for all third party cases for your 2015-2017, 12.9 inch iPad Pro model.

Third party cover/back case cover combinations are still available for purchase.

Best of Luck to You!

The first and second generation iPad Pro 12.9" share the same physical dimensions - but are different to every other model of iPad. As such, for a replacement case, you'll need to search for cases compatible with one of these two models.

Given the age of your iPad Pro, even if you were to identify the two case components that you currently have, it is very unlikely that you will find new/unused examples. Given limited demand, the manufacturer(s) are very unlikely to have continued production for very long. Inevitably, model-specific accessories have a very short production run.

LotusPilot, I understand the age and uniqueness of the early iPad Pros.

i have located a variety of Apple brand covers in Europe but descriptions vary. One reseller suggests what I’m looking for is actually two separate pieces sold by Apple at the time. One was a “case” for the back, the other a front folding cover.

i don’t recall purchasing separate components but perhaps I did. Regardless, it would be terrific if someone on this site knew what the name(s) or model number(s) were.

This iPad Pro is still in excellent condition and handling all the tasks expected of it so we’re trying to continue to use as long as possible. Thank you for your thoughts!
