Home/Products/Solid bumper for iPad Pro M4(11-inch model)
- When you drop your iPad Pro M4(11-inch model), it usually falls tilted and lands on one of its four corners.
The usual "aluminum casing with the same thickness on the 4 corners" are
susceptible to deformation due to the impact when it hits the ground.
We focused on real drop tests and performed countless tests to design
a case that prevents deformation and is highly durable.
Following this design principle for an "easy to use, protective case",
we arrived at this solid bumper with 4 protruding corners.

- We focused on durability and operability
Some customers comment "GILD design cases all have 4 corners protruding,
and they make every phone look the same."
GILD design cases do not look especially stylish,
and it takes some effort to install and remove as it uses bolts.
Still, we prioritized "stress-free operability"
and "a structure that can even hold up to buckling loads when dropped".
We wanted to make a GILD design case that is guaranteed to protect your iPad for at least 2 years,
even if the case itself breaks apart.
Smooth Our pursuit of usability
Through repeated prototyping, the bumper is designed so that
it fits snugly around the parts of the iPad which users frequently touch.
The inner dimensions of the bumper are 174×246mm,
and it can be used with commercially available protective glass films. *1
An original Apple Smart Folio (protective case) can be used together with the bumper.
The bumper protects the side of the iPad,
while the Smart Folio protects the back and the display of the iPad. *2
An Apple Pencil Pro can be attached and removed
from the bumper while the bumper is installed.
The pencil is completely covered by the bumper while it is attached,
preventing it from being damaged by accidental falls. 		The opening of the charging port is 12 mm wide and 5.5 mm high,
The thickness of the connection is designed to be as thin as 1mm.
Therefore, commercially available wide USB-C standard
compatible cables can also be used.
The bumper comes with shock–absorbent material
attached to its corners,
which mitigates impacts
together with the bumper itself. 		It is designed to be easy to open even
when the Apple SmartFolio cover is attached.
Rubber o rings are attached to prevent the screws from losing. The screws included with the iPad Pro (M4) Bumper
are special 4mm length screws.
The Color Bolt Set (Model No. GI-305)
sold separately cannot be used because of its 6mm length.
