New ESR iPad accessories
The new ESR iPad accessories cover a wide gamut of uses. Not only does the lineup include the first third-party alternative stylus to feature Apple-certified Find My integration. It also features magnetic cases, keyboard cases and screen protectors, ESR said.
Apple Pencil alternative with Find My integration
ESR says this is the first third-party stylus for iPad with Apple-certified Find My integration. The stylus pen also includes easy shortcuts and comes in three colors. Compatible with iPad 11/10/9/8th, iPad Air 13/11, iPad Pro 12.9/13/11 and iPad mini 7/6/5.
- Works with Find My
- Compatible with all recent iPads
- Affordable
- No wireless charging
A notable entrant in ESR’s new offerings: Geo Digital Pencil, first showcased at CES 2025. This stylus is the first third-party alternative designed after the Apple Pencil Pro to feature seamless Apple-certified Find My integration, ensuring users never lose track of their digital pen.
Geo Digital Pencil offers Bluetooth connectivity, customizable shortcuts and battery monitoring. And USB-C fast charging provides up to 12 hours of use from a 30-minute charge. With tilt sensitivity, palm rejection and a precise 1.5mm fine tip, it aims to deliver a natural writing and drawing experience. ESR said it’s comparable to Apple Pencil at a more accessible price point.
Magnetic cases
This magnetic case and stand offers multiple viewing angles and includes a built-in holder for Apple Pencil or another stylus. Compatible with iPad 11th/10th-gen.
- Stable
- Multiple viewing angles
- Stylus holder
- Affordable
- Not compatible with older iPads
ESR’s new collection includes the Flip Magnetic Case with Pencil Holder. It’s a streamlined version of the company’s Red Dot Award-winning Shift Magnetic Case. The Flip case offers multiple viewing angles — 45 degrees or 60 degrees for viewing and 25 degrees for writing. That makes it adaptable for various tasks. Its stable magnetic stand works on virtually any surface, from desks to laps. And a built-in pencil holder ensures Apple Pencil or other styluses remain within easy reach.
For users seeking maximum flexibility, the flagship Shift Magnetic Case supports six use modes with nine stable viewing angles. That covers portrait and landscape orientations, of course. The case offers unusual features like raised screen viewing for comfortable typing. It even lets you mount iPad on refrigerators or other magnetic surfaces. The lightweight, detachable back case makes switching between modes easy while maintaining protection.
Keyboard cases
This iPad Air keyboard and case fits 13-inch iPad Air (M3/M2, 2025/2024). It's an easy-set magnetic stand for portrait/landscape mode viewing. Includes multi-touch trackpad.
- Multi-touch trackpad
- Portrait or landscape viewing
- Lists for over $100 (not the cheapest)
ESR also introduced two keyboard cases that transform iPads into workstations. The premium Rebound Magnetic Keyboard Case 360 combines a secure magnetic stand with a detachable back case. It supports multiple viewing angles in both vertical and horizontal orientations. The case features a multifunctional trackpad with full gesture support. It also has responsive scissor-switch keys with three-level adjustable backlighting in 12 color options, ESR said.
For users seeking a more affordable option, the standard Rebound Magnetic Keyboard Case provides a fixed-angle magnetic stand for productivity tasks.
Screen protectors
Write and draw like on paper with this detachable and reusable anti-glare screen. Compatible with tempered glass protectors. Fits iPad 11th/10th generation A16 (11/10.9 Inch, 2025/2022).
- Like writing or drawing on real paper
- Easy to apply and remove
- Anti-glare
- None to speak of
ESR also expanded its UltraFit Screen Protector series to iPads. These protectors feature an advanced two-step installation method. It’s designed to eliminate bubbles and dust, ensuring good alignment.
The UltraFit Classic Screen Protector offers twice the strength of standard screen protectors while maintaining clear visibility. For artists and note-takers, the Paper-Feel Magnetic Screen Protector provides a textured surface that mimics the sensation of writing on paper. Magnetic attachment allows for more than 10,000 reapplications.
