What iPad model is this case compatible with?
This case is specifically designed for the iPad mini (6th generation).
Can I charge my Apple Pencil while it's in the case?
The case features integrated storage for the Apple Pencil, but it is not designed for charging. You will need to remove the Pencil from the holder to charge it, typically via magnetic attachment to the iPad's side.
How many stand angles does the folio offer?

Is the case waterproof?
This case offers robust protection against drops and scratches but is not waterproof. It does not provide protection against submersion in water.
Does the case support wireless charging (MagSafe)?
This specific folio case model does not explicitly state MagSafe compatibility. The clear back allows for visual appreciation of the iPad's design, but wireless charging capabilities might be impacted by the case material or design.
What does 'dropproof' mean in the context of this case?
The 'dropproof' designation, meeting MIL-STD-810G 516.6 standards, means the case has undergone rigorous testing to withstand drops from a specified height without damaging the device.
Troubleshooting
Case is difficult to install or remove.
Ensure all edges of the iPad are properly seated in the case. For removal, gently pry the iPad out starting from a corner, using a plastic opening tool if necessary, and avoid excessive force.
Folio stand is unstable or won't hold position.
Check that the folio is fully opened and that the hinge is clean and free of obstructions. Ensure you are using one of the designated stand angles.
Apple Pencil is not held securely.
Verify the Apple Pencil is fully inserted into the holder. If the holder seems loose, check for any debris that might be preventing a snug fit.
Buttons or ports are obstructed.
Re-seat the iPad in the case, ensuring it is perfectly aligned. The case is designed for precise cutouts.
