When Apple unveiled the latest iPad Pro M4 lineup, it cemented the iPad as more than just a tablet — it’s a laptop replacement, creative studio, and productivity powerhouse. With premium devices now starting at four-figure price tags, the stakes for protecting them have never been higher. Yet, most cases on the market still force a tradeoff: bulk for durability, or slimness for style.
Enter the ZUGU 360 Case — a category-defining leap forward in iPad protection and usability. Celebrating 15 years of innovation, ZUGU has taken everything users loved about its earlier designs and re-engineered them into its most advanced case yet. The result is a premium accessory that elevates form and function, engineered to match the iPad Pro M4’s sophistication.
15 Years in the Making
ZUGU is no newcomer to the world of iPad accessories. Since 2009, the company has built a reputation for cases that blend rugged protection with thoughtful usability — earning a loyal following among creatives, professionals, educators, and everyday users alike.
The 360 Case isn’t just another iteration — it’s a culmination. Marking ZUGU’s 15th anniversary, the new case represents a milestone in precision engineering and material innovation. Every design choice — from the wrap-around bumper shell to the detachable magnetic kickstand — is the answer to years of customer feedback and real-world testing.
Where other brands chase trends, ZUGU has doubled down on longevity, durability, and user-centric design. The 360 is less an accessory and more an ecosystem, reshaping what an iPad case can be.
Fiberglass, Aluminum, and the Science of Strength Without Bulk
Most iPad cases rely on common plastics or rubber blends, which offer protection but at the cost of weight and durability. ZUGU chose a different path, introducing fiberglass composite construction, a material typically reserved for aerospace and automotive applications.
Fiberglass provides an extraordinary strength-to-weight ratio, giving the 360 Case its rigid structure without adding unnecessary bulk. In fact, at just 13mm thick and weighing between 360 and 500 grams (depending on iPad size), the case remains slim and portable enough for daily carry while offering military-grade protection.
Add to this the tactile refinement of aluminum buttons — a rarity in the accessory world — and you have a case that shields your device and enhances it. Presses feel crisp and responsive, a reminder that ZUGU has considered how the case looks and how it feels in everyday use.
Protection for the Devices That Need It Most
The iPad Pro M4 isn’t just another tablet; it’s Apple’s most advanced and expensive iPad yet. With a new Tandem OLED display, M4 silicon, and a thinner form factor, it’s more powerful and more delicate than its predecessors.
This is where the ZUGU 360 Case sets itself apart. Its wrap-around bumper shell provides 360° coverage, safeguarding against drops, bumps, and scrapes from every angle. The magnetic cover ensures the case won’t pop open accidentally, reducing the risk of screen damage in transit.
That peace of mind is invaluable for users carrying their iPad to classrooms, client meetings, construction sites, or coffee shops. When a device costs as much as a laptop, cutting corners on protection simply isn’t an option.
Stability in Both Portrait and Landscape
For years, iPad cases have favored landscape mode stands — great for movies and typing, but awkward for reading, FaceTiming, or working on vertical content. The ZUGU 360 changes that.
Its detachable magnetic kickstand guarantees stability in both portrait and landscape orientations. Whether you’re sketching in Procreate, attending a video call, or scrolling through code, the case adapts seamlessly.
This flexibility is more than a convenience; it unlocks new workflows. Designers can sketch vertically, writers can draft in portrait mode, and professionals can present content exactly as intended.
A Case That Works Wherever You Do
The “360” in its name isn’t just about coverage, it’s about versatility. The case is designed to keep up with every environment and every use case.
- At home: Use the adjustable stand for hands-free streaming, or mount your iPad to the fridge while following recipes.
- At work: Secure the iPad in either orientation during meetings or presentations.
- On the go: Detach the shell for photography, scanning documents, or travel.
- Side-by-side productivity: The magnetic kickstand even allows iPad + iPhone pairing, creating a compact dual-screen setup perfect for multitasking.
With enhanced magnetic mounting, the case doubles as a tool for unconventional setups — fridge, filing cabinet — where traditional stands fall short.
Precision Engineering That Matches Apple’s Aesthetic
Apple’s ethos has always been about blending technology with artistry. A protective case that detracts from that experience feels out of place. That’s why ZUGU focused as much on fit and finish as it did on durability.
The 360’s magnetic cover aligns perfectly every time. The cutouts for ports and speakers are sharp and exact. The surface finish — a premium leatherette wrapping — adds elegance without sacrificing grip.
This attention to detail makes the case feel like a natural extension of the iPad itself — not just something you put on your device but something designed with it in mind.
Beyond Hardware: ZUGU’s Customer Promise
One of the most overlooked aspects of tech accessories is what happens when things go wrong. Here too, ZUGU goes further than most. The company backs its products with a warranty and, uniquely, even offers to cover AppleCare+ repair costs for iPads damaged while inside a ZUGU case.
It’s a bold move that underscores the brand’s confidence in its design. More importantly, it shifts the relationship between case and user: this isn’t just protection; it’s peace of mind.
The New Benchmark for iPad Cases
In 2025, the iPad is no longer a “nice-to-have” gadget; it’s a central tool for professionals, students, and creatives. Protecting that investment requires a case that goes beyond the basics.
The ZUGU 360 Case does just that. It embodies 15 years of innovation, marrying advanced materials with practical usability. It delivers drop protection and stability without adding unnecessary weight. It elevates the iPad experience with unmatched versatility and precision engineering.
For anyone upgrading to the iPad Pro 11-inch M4 or Pro 13-inch M4, the ZUGU 360 Case isn’t just an accessory; it’s the standard-setter for what premium protection should look like in 2025.
