Buying Guide for iPad Air 4 Cases

Why buy an iPad Air 4 case?
Regardless of the meticulous care you show your technology, iPad 4 included, there’s always a risk that you may drop it or spill something on it. And unless you’re the sole user and live alone and never use it anywhere else, your iPad may suffer damage from others while you’re out and about.
What should you look for in an iPad Air 4 case?
- Full-Body Protection: Cases can offer more than protection, but it should still be priority number one when looking for the proper case. Cases made from TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) provide extreme flexibility and durability. This will help you save your tablet from shocks, drops, and scratches in the long haul.
- Key Features: When searching for a case with the right features, keep in mind what you’re using your iPad for and what necessary features will accommodate that. For instance, if you’re only going to use your tablet at home, it would be ideal to find something simple and affordable. If you plan to constantly take your iPad on the go, look for cases with detachable carrying straps or a Velcro hand strap. Many great cases come with an Apple Pencil holder/charger and the convenient automatic sleep/wake feature.
- Look: Any protective case, whether a guitar case or iPad Air 4 case, is a fashion or style opportunity. Check out the color and patterns available when selecting an iPad Air 4 Case. Color and design are opportunities to express yourself. Go glitter or classic black.
What should you avoid while looking for an iPad Air 4 case?
Avoid iPad Air cases designed for generations 2 and 3. The iPad Air 2 is a square 9.7 inches, and the iPad Air 3 is 10.5 inches. Most protective cases marketed as appropriate for iPad Air 5 will suit iPad Air 4 as well. They share the same 10.9-inch dimensions. Many products list numerous generation numbers, making it a bit more challenging to find the one you need.
