Moft has announced a new folio-style cover case for iPads that could improve the tablet’s ergonomics for anyone working with the Apple Pencil or simply watching videos. The Moft Dynamic Folio uses an origami approach to transform into a stand that can elevate the tablet by up to three inches, while other configurations let you support a smartphone at the same time. The flexibility lets Moft’s case go above and beyond the limited folding functionality of Apple’s own Smart Folio iPad cases.
The company is making its new Dynamic Folio available to consumers through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign that has already surpassed its $10,000 funding goal. The case will be available in three sizes and support the iPad Mini as well as 11 and 13-inch versions of the iPad, Pro, and Air. Early backers can preorder the Mini case for $34, the 11-inch version for $45, or the 13-inch for $55, while full pricing is expected to be closer to $39, $49, and $69, respectively. Shipping is expected to start as early as May 2025.
Made from fiberglass covered in Moft’s own scratch-resistant vegan leather alternative called MOVAS, the largest version of the Dynamic Folio adds 292 grams of weight to an iPad, so it’s also lighter than Apple’s iPad cases. It attaches magnetically so you can easily pop it off when you want to use your iPad without a case, but its design doesn’t completely protect the tablet on all sides like many silicone cases do. When attached, the Dynamic Folio will help protect the screen and back of the iPad from scratches, but it leaves several sides exposed. If you happen to drop it, there’s a chance the iPad could still get dinged and dented depending how it lands.

The primary use cases include two floating modes. One elevates the iPad two-inches at a lower 30-degree angle that’s useful for working, playing games, or browsing the web, while the other positions the iPad at a 60-degree angle three-inches above a desk or table for reading or watching videos.

Moft’s case can be folded in several other ways to support the tablet in portrait and landscape modes, to add an additional support for a smartphone, or to make it easier to balance the tablet on your knee when you don’t have access to a work surface. Moft also offers an optional Apple Pencil holder that magnetically attaches to the case and adds a bit more protection for the pricy stylus.
