I’ll be honest with you. I like this case. I also dislike it.
WUT?
Because in the last few weeks, I broke the tip of my Apple Pencil so I don’t really use it. Now before I broke it, the Spigen Tough Armor Pro was a useful, great handling case with an amazing texture.
But now that I don’t use an Apple Pencil, the case isn’t as useful. Still feels good BUT what am I suppose to put in place of the Apple Pencil? A pepperoni stick?
Get the Spigen Tough Armor Pro on Amazon!

At MREH, Monty and I are working on becoming the Wagyu beef of accessory reviews. We’re the only dog and human team that’s willing to go beyond the unboxing of a product before reviewing it.
The Spigen Tough Armor Pro fits the iPad better than the last case I reviewed, the UAG Metropolis. Installation of the product is a little finicky as you can’t just mash it into the case, you need to insert if from one side for snapping the case on.
The corners on the back of the case are raised so it keeps the back of the case off a flat surface and also stops the case from sliding around. The case sits flat on a surface so you don’t have to deal with trying do draw on your iPad with the camera hump out.
The case will also prevent the iPad from sliding around when place face down. As a side question, how many of you actually place your iPad’s face down?
The Tough Armor Pro is a slimmer case when compared to tougher ones like the UAG Metropolis and Otterbox Defender. BUT there’s no cover for the screen so it better be thinner.
The standout feature for me on this Tough Armor Pro is the texture on the polycarbonate portion of the case. I’m generally a big fan of soft rubber coatings and finishes on my cases. Spigen’s soft rubber finishes are still a bit tacky when compared to other companies but that tackiness makes the case handle a bit better than the other companies.
The finish on this Tough Armor Pro is the perfect amount of texture and tackiness. Now the recessed areas of the PC shell are a little smoother but still have a similar finish. Overall, having the rougher finish on the PC shell with the soft rubber coating makes this iPad case handle way better than the iPhone version. I’m really hoping to see the Tough Armors for the iPhone 12 get the same treatment.
The TPU that the iPad sits in also has a bit more texture than the iPhone versions. The one thing I did notice is that fingerprints seemed to be a bit more apparent on the case which is annoying.
The Apple Pencil fits snugly between the case and the iPad and Spigen has included a cutout on the back so that you can pop it out easily.
BUT if you don’t use an Apple Pencil, that empty space is going to be visually annoying to look at. Maybe you use a neck strap for the Apple Pencil cutout…
When it comes to using the iPad in the case, the power button is easy to press. The volume buttons are not. If this case had an Apple Penciless version the buttons would be pretty good but pressing the volume buttons through this case is sub-par.
The edges of the case are quite high for an iPad case but given the nature of the device, they do not get in the way of screen access. The kickstand allows for two different viewing angles, both in landscape mode. The kickstand doesn’t do much for portrait model which is unfortunate.
I will note that the cutouts do not expose the back of the ipad which reduces the chance of your iPad getting scratched by debris.
The port cutout is large enough to use whatever USB-C cable you want and the camera is unimpeded.
Overall, the texture and finish of the case, coupled with the thinness makes for a comfortable iPad using experience.
When it comes to protection, this case is apparently rated to MilStd 810G which means dropping your iPad from 4 ft is still going to make you wish you wore brown pants.
Overall, the Tough Armor Pro isn’t going to be as protective as cases like the Metropolis or the Symmetry 360. The lack of a screen cover hurts the Tough Armor Pro in that regard. So get a screen protector to go with the Tough Armor Pro. I’ve got a Spigen GlasTr on this iPad and it fits quite well.
