Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2024I bought three cases to find the best one for my iPad Air 5th Generation 10.9 inch. In the end, there was no comparison. That’s probably to be expected when one product costs about 4x as much as the others. Here are the three with a few comments:
1. ZUGU CASE for iPad Air (M2) 11 inch (2024) iPad Air 4 & 5 10.9 Inch (2020/2022) - Protective, Ultra Thin, Magnetic Stand, Sleep/Wake Cover - Black $48. This is about 4x the cost of the others, but it is far and away a superior product, and for me, absolutely worth it. It feels tight and very high quality material and workmanship. The case stays open with solid, tight magnets. The pencil holder works well. Everything feels right in the hind and works very well in landscape mode on a table. It’s a high quality case for a high quality device. Everything about this is just far superior.
2. Fintie Rotating Case for iPad Air 11-inch M2 (2024), iPad Air 5th Generation (2022) / Air 4th Gen (2020) 10.9 Inch with Pencil Holder - 360 Degree Rotating Protective Stand Cover, Navy 12.79. This is the only case that allows the screen to rotate, and that’s nice if you need portrait mode while it’s sitting on a flat surface. But if you ever plan to read your iPad while holding it, this is a very disappointing choice. In the hand, the whole thing feels completely loose and floppy and thick. I knew within 20 seconds that I would return this product.
3. Supveco Case for iPad Air 11 Inch 2024,iPad Air 5th/4th Generation 10.9 Inch 2022/2020 with Pencil Holder-[Auto Wake/Sleep],Premium Folio Stand Soft TPU Back Cover for iPad Air 5/4 Gen-Navy $15. This one is OK. It feels kind of cheap, but I tried it for about two days. During that time the plastic did not smell good (maybe that goes away with time), but it was a dramatic improvement over the Fintie product. It can be held in the hand with just a bit of a loose feel. It would have been tolerable had I not tried the ZUGU case. But once I put the ZUGU on, there was no going back.
When I buy a future iPad, I will only buy a model that fits a ZUGU case. It's just that good!
