But many of you said you like a little extra armor for your iPads. So, we designed a new case that keeps the Folio’s signature cotton-bound notebook feel but adds extra protection for the little “oh no” moments in life: the Paperlike Bumper Case.
Of course, there’s more that sets these two apart but let’s first talk about what they both do brilliantly.

Here’s what they share:
-
Minimalist design. Clean, sleek, and built for notetakers, creatives, and professionals who want function without the fuss.
-
Refined polyester cover. Feels just like soft cotton cloth binding but is made from refined polyester, giving you that premium notebook feel and long-lasting durability.
-
iPad protection. Both offer solid coverage, though the level of protection depends on the case (more on that in a second).
-
Stand functionality. Folds into a stand for easy viewing and writing, plus it’s compatible with the iPad’s auto wake/sleep feature to save battery.
-
Apple Pencil support. Magnetic flap keeps your Apple Pencil secure and charging, even if you’ve got our Pencil Grips attached.
-
Full functionality. All ports, speakers, and buttons stay easily accessible—no awkward fumbling required.
If you’re looking for a sleek, lightweight case that works with you (not against you), both options deliver. But when it comes to protection, versatility, and how you use your iPad day to day, that’s where the differences start to show.

In some areas, the two cases take different approaches. Here’s how they stack up:
Protection Folio: Light, everyday protection from bumps & scratches. Bumper: Extra durability (with edge bumper) from drops, bumps, & scratches.
Ease of removal Folio: Quick to snap on and off if you frequently switch to a keyboard or other accessories. Bumper: Designed for secure, long-term use, so it takes a little more effort to remove.
Weight & size Folio: Slim & lightweight. Bumper: Slightly thicker & heavier for added defense.
Materials Folio: Refined polyester cover & microfiber interior. Bumper: Refined polyester cover, microfiber interior, & shock-absorbing rubber bumper.
