Slim and lightweight case covers for iPad Air

Everyone would agree that the lighter the tablet the bigger the challenge to find the case that won’t dramatically change its perception of weight.

With the wrong case, iPad Air may suddenly make you notice the presence of gravity – the device will become unbearably heavy, and somehow down-to-earth.

In this selection, you’ll find the cases in different styles and from different case producers. We have focused on picking up the designs that look slim and will not disappoint you with their weight.

No matter where you’ll buy the case, it’s good to know the exact dimensions of your iPad model.

You’ll need them when shopping on Etsy, the largest online marketplace with handmade goods. Almost all cases offered on Etsy are made to order, so just in case give a shop owner the name of your device, together with the dimensions.

iPad Air case – recommended sites

And the last thing before the list. Check out our recommendations of online stores where you’ll find more iPad cases to consider.

Amazon – the best site to find the alternatives for the original iPad case. There are currently almost 9 million results to a search phrase “iPad case”. It’s a good destination if you are looking for a more affordable smart cover – in a lot more color and design variations.
