The ESR Shift Magnetic Case sets itself apart from the competition with a removable cover/stand that allows the tablet to be used in landscape or portrait mode. Even better, the tablet can slide up in the stand to be closer to eye level.
It’s available now for the 11-inch iPad Pro.

ESR Shift Magnetic Case offers innovation
There are many well-designed iPad cases on the market. So many that can can start to blur together. But ESR came up with a design that offers features that let it stand out from the pack.
The Shift Magnetic Case wraps around the sides and back of the iPad Pro. This is made of scratch-resistant TPU. The product also includes a removable flip cover made of artificial leather that also acts as a stand.
The two components are held together with magnets, allowing a variety of configurations. Naturally, the stand can prop the tablet in landscape mode at a variety of angles. That’s the extent of the capabilities of the typical iPad case/stand, but ESR’s new model also allows the iPad to be rotated into portrait mode.
“The ultra-stable stand functionality that the case provides is ideal for use while writing, reading, drawing, and video-calling, and provides superior stability even when used on users’ laps,” said the accessory-maker.
And the ESR Shift Magnetic Case has another trick. The tablet in landscape mode can slide up on the stand so it’s close to the users eye level.
If that wasn’t enough, the magnets in the case are strong enough that to hold the iPad on the side of most refrigerators for use when cooking.
