iPads have quietly become laptops, sketchbooks, second monitors, and TV screens, while most cases still only prop them up at two angles or turn them into heavy keyboard bricks. The pile of stands and folios people accumulate, one for drawing, one for watching, one for travel, never solves the “I just want one thing that works everywhere” problem. You end up carrying multiple accessories or compromising on whatever you need to do next.
MOFT’s Dynamic Folio Case is a folio, case, and stand in one, pitched as “one carry for productivity anywhere.” It is a single sheet weighing just over 10 ounces that stays on the iPad and folds into a surprising number of shapes, trying to be a desk stand, lap desk, dual-screen dock, and protective shell, without adding a keyboard or bulky frame around the tablet.
Designer: MOFT
Picture dropping the iPad next to a laptop and folding the folio into its taller stand mode, lifting the screen level with the laptop display. The Dynamic Folio even supports a phone on a ridge above the iPad, so you end up with a stacked, three-screen tower that reduces neck strain and makes it easier to keep notes, reference, and chat visible without craning down at a flat tablet.
On a sofa or train seat, the folio folds into a wedge that rests comfortably on your legs or arm, giving you a stable angle for sketching or handwriting without hunting for a table. The case is light enough that the whole setup still feels portable, and the low drawing angles make it easier to treat the iPad like a sketchbook instead of a slippery glass slab balanced on your knees.
The back of the folio has subtle printed icons, circles, and lines that you align to quickly find specific angle presets. MOFT calls out examples, 60 degrees for watching movies on a plane, 30 degrees for note-taking in a meeting, 18 degrees for drawing in a cafe, and steeper angles for reading or gaming. It is less trial-and-error origami and more a guided folding system you can remember after using it a few times.
Of course, reinforced corners wrap the iPad’s most vulnerable edges, ready for bags and bumps, while MOVAS-P vegan leather gives the outside a refined texture and the inside a smooth finish that resists scratches. A magnetic pencil holder snaps on the side to keep an Apple Pencil secure on the go, solving the familiar problem of the stylus detaching from the iPad’s edge the moment you slide everything into a backpack.
The Dynamic Folio behaves less like a case and more like soft origami furniture for your iPad, trying to keep up with every role the tablet plays without asking you to carry extra hardware. It will not replace a full keyboard for heavy typing, but for people who draw, read, watch, and occasionally work across two screens, one well-designed sheet that can do twenty things is a tempting trade.
