The iPad Pro 9,7 arrived, and with it the new cases. As it usually happens, the new iPads make the old cases do not match by very little. On the other hand, we find another problem even harder, we still have the iPad Air 2, a very powerful and surprisingly cheap model that is reaping good sales, however, we can not find the original case anywhere. Do not worry, In iPad News we are going to give you some tips to find good, beautiful and cheap covers for your iPad, because we must protect our tablets well, since the iPad is a product that lasts a long time.
In short, the task of finding the right case for our iPad has become difficult lately, but the first thing we must ask ourselves is What kind of cover do I need? Once we are clear about this idea, we can proceed to the purchase in our trustworthy establishment or directly on a website such as Amazon or eBay, the first being the most recommended by me. Amazon has a huge amount of covers of all types and prices, and as always with the guarantees that the Jeff Bezos store offers, so be prepared to go to Amazon in search of the lost case.
Front protectors - Smart Cover
In the Apple world they are known as Smart Cover, they are covers that take advantage of the magnet section of the iPad in order to create a front curtain, which in turn will allow us to place the iPad in different positions. These cases are very light and recommended, however, they do not offer comprehensive protection for the iPad. If you are looking for fall protection, you should forget about it. The Smart Cover only serves to protect the screen from scratches during transport and as a stand for the iPad, nothing more. The price is lower, of course, and it is less cumbersome, but it has its shortcomings. We can also find them from Apple's own brand, or with many substitutes from other brands. However, in the case of the Smart Cover if we are going to directly recommend Apple's one, it is the most durable and best designed, those of substitute brands are going to give you more headaches than anything else.
Another way to protect our iPad from the front are the famous tempered glass, if they existed for the iPhone, why wouldn't they exist for the iPad. We can find them in large stores like Primark on a regular basis, but as always, Amazon is going to be our main source. We will find them from €5 to €15. We do not recommend spending much more on this product, since the iPad is not something that falls often and the difference between glasses at other prices is not really worth it.
Full iPad Cases - Smart Case
The complete covers are like the Smart Cover, with the guarantee that they also have a back of whatever material we choose to protect our iPad. These are the most recommended, from the classic Apple, to any substitute. Brands JTech and ESR are fantastic, we have tested them and we can recommend them. Other brands, however, tend to use very weak magnets that make the iPad slip and do not fix it well. Therefore, we recommend these two brands in addition to the original Apple, although testing the quality of an ESR case for the iPad and the original Apple, Maybe they are not worth the € 60 difference.
Basic covers only rear
We also have the typical back covers like the iPhone, these are intended to protect only the back of our iPad and we find them made of hard materials or silicone. We recommend that you discard them, there is nothing like being able to place your iPad vertically on the table, and for that you will need covers with magnets. These are cheaper, but not useful enough to consider.
