Reddit reviews iPad Pro 10.5'' 2017 Screen Protector, Anker Tempered Glass Screen Protector - Retina Display/Apple Pencil Compatible/Scratch Resistant (not Compatible for iPad Pro 10.5'' 2018)

I have the Anker tempered glass screen protector from Amazon on my 10.5 pro. Works great, went on easy with no bubbles or marks. I also have the Apple Smart Keyboard and a compatible iBlason case from Amazon on it. The case is thin and has a clear back so it looks minimal. Finally, I carry it around in the Apple iPad Pro leather sleeve. It looks and feels great. It’s expensive but I found one brand new on eBay for half the price of retail stores. Links to everything below.

I am currently attending uni and from my experience this past year with the 10.5. I highly recommend it. Simply because you might not always have the luxury in terms of desk space of having a 12.5 with you and also because of weight. My mom bought the 12.5 and regretted it within a few days because of the weight and sheer size.

If you are saving money or you would rather use that money for something else, I recommend using your petrol points to purchase it and spend a little to get the accessories you would want to have. In contrast if you want to be future proof, don’t mind waiting a bit, and don’t mind spending a fair penny; purchase the new one. Roughly with the items listed below and getting an 10.5 with 256GB and with AppleCare set me back roughly $1250 USD so you have a rough idea of how much you might be spending.

Accessories that I bought that I also highly recommend and use on a daily basis are listed:

• Belkin Apple Pencil Case
  
• Anker iPad 10.5 Tempered Glass
  
• Clear Smart Cover and Keyboard Compatible Case
  
• Apple Pencil
  
• Apple Smart Cover
  
• Apple Magic Wireless Keyboard

1. Plenty to choose from, this is my current favorite, I like the split design and it folds up compact. Anker makes several, such as this one. Microsoft also makes a good (but pricey) keyboard. Keyboards are always going on sale, so keep an eye out or use Camel.
   
2. I recently picked up this TurtleSkin case. It's basically a big silicone bumper. I have a glass screen protector on as well. The bumper gives me some decent grip and keeps the front and back from touching when it's lying flat on a surface. I got black but might order another one in green or blue.
   
   You can import brushes, there are some bugs/quirks with some right now, but Affinity is working on them.
   
   Lastly, I can recommend this Pencil sleeve. I got the glow-in-the-dark version. Gives the Pencil a good grip, keeps it from rolling around, I can find it easily in the dark and it keeps the cap on! Note it will no longer fit in most "Pencil loops" on cases and such. Doesn't bother me, as I carry everything in this felt laptop sleeve.

I've noticed adding a glass screen protector greatly reduces smudging and is easier to clean as well. I have this one:
