Introducing the ZUGU 360 Case: The Pinnacle of iPad Protection

What began as a simple sketch has reached its most refined form yet. Celebrating 15 years of design evolution, we’re proud to unveil the ZUGU 360 iPad Case, our most versatile, premium, and advanced case ever. 

Made exclusively for the iPad Pro 11 M4 and Pro 13 M4, it results from a decade and a half of innovation, customer feedback, and unwavering commitment to excellence.

Our Most Advanced Viewing Experience Yet

The ZUGU 360 Case redefines functionality. With seamless portrait and landscape modes, the case adapts instantly to how you work, create, or unwind. Whether you’re reading, typing, drawing, or streaming, the 360 Case guarantees rock-solid stability in both vertical and horizontal positions with no wobble and no compromise.

But we didn’t stop there. We’ve introduced a side-by-side viewing mode: use your iPad and iPhone together, securely positioned next to each other via a detachable magnetic kickstand. This mode is ideal for dual-screen multitasking, video calls, reference viewing, or keeping your messages in sight while you sketch or edit.

Mount Anywhere. Go Everywhere.

One of the most exciting new features is our enhanced magnetic mounting system. Remove the cover, and your iPad can be mounted on any magnetic surface securely and effortlessly, including kitchen cabinets, gym equipment, and whiteboards — the world becomes your workstation.

Need to snap a quick photo or travel light? The fully detachable shell lets you leave the bulk behind without compromising protection. And for the final touch of elegance, custom aluminum buttons that are designed to look premium and feel premium, every single press.

Engineered to Be Unmatched

To make all this possible, we built a new foundation — literally. The ZUGU 360 Case is constructed from an all-new proprietary fiberglass blend that delivers superior strength while keeping weight to a minimum. This material is lighter, tougher, and more refined than anything we’ve used before.

Precision is the name of the game. Every angle, cutout, and seam is the result of painstaking attention to detail and the most precise fabrication we’ve ever achieved. The case’s wraparound bumper shell adds all-angle protection, while a magnetic front cover keeps things secure without compromising ease of access.

And yes, it’s wrapped in durable, cruelty-free leatherette because premium shouldn’t come at a cost to the planet.

The ZUGU 360 Case Is in a Class of Its Own

This isn’t just an upgrade. It’s the culmination of everything we’ve learned since 2010. From hundreds of prototypes to thousands of customer reviews, every decision in the 360 Case was guided by real-life use cases and a refusal to compromise.

Key Features at a Glance:

• Portrait and landscape modes with ultra-stable kickstand

• Magnetic side-by-side viewing with iPhone

• Detachable shell for mobility and camera use

• MagSafe-ready enhanced magnetic mounting

• All-new fiberglass composite: stronger, lighter, smarter

• Aluminum buttons and precision-milled details

• Wraparound bumper and secure magnetic cover

• Premium vegan leatherette finish.

From creative professionals to students and business travelers to iPad power users, the ZUGU 360 Case is designed to elevate your experience in every way possible. This is more than a rotating iPad case; it’s the future of iPad protection.

Built from the Ground Up (Literally)

To make the ZUGU 360 Case possible, we didn’t just update a mold; we built an entirely new factory, developed proprietary fiberglass blends, and engineered tools from scratch. This relentless pursuit of perfection has been part of our DNA since day one.

“We weren’t just chasing a new feature,” says Founder Tim Angel. “We were building a new foundation for the next generation of iPad users.”

ZUGU Case for Kids: Built for Play, Engineered for Peace of Mind

When it comes to kids and tech, protection is a prerequisite. Accidental drops, juice box spills, and couch cushion hide-and-seek are just part of the daily routine. If you’re looking for a robust, thoughtfully engineered case that’s built to keep up with real life, keep your eyes peeled for the release of the ZUGU Kids Case!

The Case That Can Handle Chaos

This won’t be a scaled-down version of our classic case. The ZUGU Kids Case will be reimagined from the inside out to be kid-tough and parent-approved. Featuring shock-absorbing materials, reinforced corners, and a raised bezel to protect the screen, this case can take the bumps, drops, and “oops” moments in its stride.

Comfort, Color, and Compatibility

Beyond durability, we’re designing the Kids Case to be comfortable to hold, fun to use, and available in bold, cheerful colors that kids will love. It’s more than just protection; it’s an accessory they’ll be excited to have.

Compatible with several popular models, our Kids Case lineup will ensure a perfect fit, whether you’re handing down an older iPad or picking up a new one for learning and play.

A Smart Investment for Families

If your child is reading, drawing, coding, or video-chatting with their class, a dependable case means more uninterrupted moments of learning and growth. It also means less stress for parents — no more flinching every time the iPad gets carried into the kitchen or left on the floor.

We’re also including a built-in kickstand that’s easy for small hands to use, ideal for watching educational videos, FaceTiming family, or engaging with learning apps that allow your child a hands-free and frustration-free experience.

Designed by Parents, for Parents

Life with kids can be unpredictable, which is why we’re building the Kids Case with that in mind. From snack-time disasters to long car rides and dropped backpacks, the ZUGU Kids Case is tested in the chaos, not just the lab.

You shouldn’t have to worry if the iPad will survive the day. With ZUGU, you can hand it over with confidence!

The Evolution of a Mission-Driven Brand

Every product we’ve ever built started with the same question: how can we improve this?

From the first ZUGU case shipped out to the millions sold today, we’ve stayed true to our roots. We sweat the small stuff: fit, feel, finish, function. That’s why our customers keep coming back and why we never stop refining.

Our products are the sum of every customer review, every prototype, every hard-earned lesson from the past 15 years.

Giving Back: Your Purchase Creates Change

At ZUGU, it’s not just about making great cases; it’s about making a difference. We donate 10% of all profits to Children International, a nonprofit working to end the cycle of poverty through education, healthcare, and community support. So far, we’ve contributed over $1 million toward building brighter futures for kids around the world.

When you choose ZUGU, you’re not just protecting your iPad; you’re part of something bigger.
