The iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2nd generation corresponds to the 2017 model year. On this page, you’ll see cases labeled for “1st/2nd Generation (2015/2017),” which match that device. That’s a helpful shorthand when you’re picking a compatible iPad Pro 12.9 case.

• Look for product titles or descriptions that state “2015/2017” or “1st/2nd Gen.”
• Avoid listings that only mention “2018/2020/2021/2022” or “3rd–6th Gen,” as those are for newer models.
• Screen size is still 12.9 inches across generations, but overall fit and cutouts can differ by year.

Matching the generation in the listing is a simple way to narrow to the right fit.

Choose cases that explicitly list compatibility with “iPad Pro 12.9 (2015/2017)” or “1st/2nd Generation.” Those are designed for the 2nd gen’s dimensions and cutouts. Many 12.9-inch cases on this page also support later models (2018–2022, 3rd–6th gen), which are built differently.

• Check the compatibility line in the product title or bullets for “2015/2017” or “1st/2nd Gen.”
• Review photos for camera and button openings that match your tablet.
• If a listing only lists 2018/2020/2021/2022 (3rd–6th gen), it’s likely not intended for the 2nd gen.

Fit can vary by design, so reviewing the listing details can help set expectations.

Focus on listings that call out “iPad Pro 12.9 (2015/2017)” or “1st/2nd Generation.” This page includes a mix of options for those model years, alongside cases for newer generations.

• Pick the style you prefer—slim folio, clear back with pencil holder, rugged with kickstand/strap, or 360-rotating stand—based on how you use your tablet.

These steps can simplify the search and help you land on a compatible, useful case.
