Amazon most-wished-for: Zugu Case for 10.2-inch iPad and 12.9-inch iPad Pro
Zugu’s iPad cases have spent plenty of time in recent years at the very top of Amazon’s most-wished-for list for tablet cases. At the time of this writing, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro case was the first most-wished for at that size and No. 5 overall.
And the 10.2-inch case stood in third place for its size and No. 4 overall.
Amazon’s Most Wished for in Tablet Cases list most wished-for page indicates which tablet cases are in most wishlists and registries on the site. The list changes continuously, but what matters is that Zugu appears at or near the top consistently. And if that’s not impressive enough for you, Zugu’s iPad cases also get 5-star ratings nearly across the board — another rare feat.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes these cases so sought after and highly rated.

This is Zugu’s slim-yet-protective case designed for the 2021 and 2022 12.9-inch iPad Pro (5th/6th Gen). As such, it’s compatible with Apple Pencil 2. And yes, you heard that right. It’s great for the latest 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
The case is nice and slim, but quite tough. It offers 5-foot drop protection. That’s more than enough for most drops, which fall into the lower end of the 3-foot to 5-foot range (typically from your hand or a table to the floor).
Zugu cases are also magnetic. So you can flip the cover around and stick your iPad on a metal surface, like a refrigerator door. Then you can use it hands-free as you glance at a recipe, for example.
Great service to back great iPad cases
Some of the other reasons people want Zugu cases have to do with service. The company offers free, 30-day returns and a two-year, no-questions-asked warranty.
And that’s not all. With Zugu, you can even get free iPad repairs if needed. That’s because Zugu Case covers all AppleCare+ repair costs if an iPad is damaged in one of its cases.
Finally, another cool thing about Zugu is its charitable donations, amounting to 10% of all profits. One example is Children International, a nonprofit that helps youth break the cycle of poverty.
Colors and pricing
The Zugu case comes in berry purple, cognac brown, stealth black, cherry red, slate blue and a new pine-green color. You can pick it up on sale now for $69.99 (regular price $89.99).
