Product Information
Full details
The STM DUX PLUS is a rugged folio case designed for Apple iPad Air (5th/4th gen) users who need superior protection in demanding environments like classrooms or workplaces. Its key benefit is exceeding military-grade drop test standards while offering practical features like a magnetic closure, integrated Apple Pencil storage, and a transparent back for customization. A potential caveat is its bulkier profile compared to slimmer cases, which may appeal more to those prioritizing durability over extreme portability.

Can I customize the back of the case?
Yes, the back panel is made of transparent material, allowing you to add personal graphics, artwork, or easily scan asset tagging barcodes.
Does the case support wireless charging for the iPad?
The product description does not specify support for wireless charging through the case. It's recommended to test or consult STM's official documentation for confirmation.
What materials is the case made from?
The case is constructed from a combination of Polycarbonate (PC) and Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) for durable protection.

Troubleshooting
iPad does not wake/sleep when opening/closing the cover
Ensure the magnets are properly aligned and that there are no other magnetic objects interfering. Try removing the iPad from the case and reinserting it to ensure proper contact.
Apple Pencil is difficult to insert or remove
Ensure the Apple Pencil is inserted straight into the slot. If it feels stiff, gently wiggle it while applying even pressure. Check for any debris in the storage slot.
Case feels too bulky
This case prioritizes protection. For a slimmer profile, consider other STM models if ruggedness is not the primary requirement. The bulk is a direct result of the protective features.
Stand mode is unstable
Ensure the iPad is placed on a flat, stable surface. Verify that the hinge of the stand is fully engaged in the desired position.
