Case, cover, or bare- which way for the iPad Air?

Love the iPad Air-- light, fast, elegant, and fun!
Like the look of it, though I am concerned about the smooth back and the possibility of a drop; and the exposed front and back potentially leading to scratches by setting it down!
So, tried a wonderful, light, inexpensive, well constructed case by Fintie (have one on my iPad Mini and it works great!).  The iPad Air version is only slightly over 7 ounces, but with the Air in it, the Air no longer seems so light, airy, and appealing!
I'm thinking that I need a combination of a light "smart cover" with a thin clear, see-through vinyl, scratch-protecting sheet for the back.  That way, the Air'll have some protection from scratches and screen damage, but it could also leave its "docking" station (i.e., take off the cover).
Any recommendations for such combos?  Do they even exist?

Well, I may have found one... there was a sizing problem, but it seems they've fixed that.  Anyone here tried it?

    Will the standard iPad case fit the the iPad Air or is there a specific type case for the iPad Air?

    The air is different dimensions from other iPads, so look for cases made specifically for it. I know that Targus has some, so does Zagg and i'm sure other manufacturers do as well.

  • Which dock is needed for the iPad Air?

    Hello,
    recently I purchased the iPad Air. Before I had a iPad 1. I would like to have a dock for the iPad air. However on the apple store there isn't one available. When will it be available and/or there any alternatives?

    This one should work for the Air:

  • What is the best charging cable for the iPad Air (that is not made by Apple)? I need a long cable (over 6ft or more). I also need the cable to be of high quality and the cord part of the cable to be made of strong material.

    What is the best charging cable for the iPad Air (that is not made by Apple)? I need a long cable (over 6ft or more). I also need the cable to be of high quality and the cord part of the cable to be made of strong material. Apple does not make one this long. Is there a cable out there that is sturdy like this and is safe to use?

    yes, but I'm trying to use my iPad to type notes (using pages) and I have the smart case which I use as a stand. I need a cable long enough to fit through the back of my desk and the charging brick for the iPad won't fit behind the desk. I have to put it on the floor and then the apple cables aren't long enough to reach.

  • What is the pixel or inches dimension to create a perfect sized wallpaper in Photoshop for the iPad air?

    I figured out by trying different sizes to make about a perfect sized wallpaper for the iPhone 5, but can't seem to make one for the iPad air. The dementions I used for the iPhone 5 was  1536x 894 pixels or (12.417 inches Wide x 21.333 inches Height) which fits the iphones wallpaper about perfect. Note this is with having reduce motion ON in the settings>accessibility tab. I used photoshop to create these wallpapers. Please let me know if you have figured this out        Thanks!

    I reduced the size of my photo small enough so when you go to install it you need to put two fingers on it to stretch it out to fit. Far from an exact science but doable.

  • What is the best stylus pen for the iPad Air?

    Wondering which stylus pen to get for the iPad Air that's best for writing, and that you don't have to press too hard to use. Simply a stylus that works well with the "iPad Air" specifically. So far since I have been reading I haven't heard much good reviews about a stylus pen working well with the iPad Air 

    In my experience, the same stylii work well with the Air that worked with my iPad 3 and my iPad 2. You shouldn't have to press hard with any stylus. Stylii are a matter of personal preference. You will get as many suggestions as you get people replying to this thread.
    I currently use three. An Adonit Jot Pro, a Pencil by Fifty-Three (mostly for drawing) and an Adonit Jot Script Evernote Edition. I have a collection of cheap Griffin stylii that as well. They work fine and are good to be able to lend to others.
    Best of luck.

  • Can i use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air

    Can I use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air?

    It's really not recommended. The iPhone's 5w charger does not output enough current to properly charge the battery. It -may- charge but if it did, it would charge the iPad very slowly.
    This would be like trying to fill a bucket of water (iPad) with a squirt gun (5w charger)
    Also under iOS 7, the charging requirements are much stricter than iOS 6. You'll likey get an error message if you try.

  • Exchanging 3 week old iPad for the iPad Air..?

    My iPad 1 finally died about three weeks ago and I use it for work daily so I had to pick up a new iPad at that time.
    Three weeks later and it's already a generation behind.   lol
    Does anyone know if Apple would let me return or exchange it for the iPad Air when it comes out next week?
    Thanks

    The exchange period has been extended in the past. IIRC, there were instances of 'return this for a credit that can be used towards the purchase of....', but only apple knows if they will do that with this release.

  • Will there be a leather smart cover for the iPad air?

    Right now Apple only offers polyurethane smart covers. I really liked the 'look&feel' of the former iPad's leather smart covers. Are there any plans of releasing those for the new air?

    You will know as soon as anybody else. Apple do not announce their product intentions.

  • Survivor case for the Ipad air 2 ??

    Has anyone tried the ipad air survivor case on their Air 2?       Did it still fit it ok?
    Cheers

    I have used the case and ended up sending it back. The buttons are almost unusable and air bubbles would form under the "screen protector". I ended up buying the Newtrent Gladius Case and I have been very happy ever since!

  • Is iPad 3 another name for the iPad Air?

    Trying to buy a case for my new iPad air, but all descriptions say "for iPad 2 & 3" and I am not sure if iPad 3 is another name for iPad Air, or something else... Thanks for your help!

    This is the only case I could find at Apple that specifically says it fits the iPad Air http://store.apple.com/us/product/HD529ZM/A/michael-michael-kors-sleeve-for-ipad -with-smart-cover?fnode=3b&fs=s%3DalphaAZ%26f%3Dexclusive-ipad5gen%26fh%3D35cb%2 52B3b25%252B3fc3

  • Hi, I recently purchased an IPad Air.  I have a Dell PC that has the Verizon.  Security Suite.  Do I need to have virus/malware protection for the IPad Air?  Thanks.

    Hi, I recently purchased an IPad air.  Do I need to place virus protection software for it?  I also have a Dell PC that has the Verizon Security Suite.  Thanks for your info.  Jim

    You do not need anti virus for the iPad. The ipad only installs things from the App Store and those apps are vetted. In addition, the operating system of the ipad isn't the same as PC's or Macs so common viruses don't run on them.
    The only thing you need to be aware of is protecting your info....Go to a bad site and enter your info and you're just as vulnerable as you would be on a computer. So the device isn't vulnerable to anything but user actions.

  • Why is online support unavailable for the iPad Air?

    I tried to contact support today because of a probem I experienced with iTunes U after updating to IOS 7.0.4 but, on entering my serial number I get a message saying that online support is not available for this product.
    The iPad air has been out for two weeks now, is it normal for support to be unavailable this late after release?
    Surely there must be another option other than driving to an apple store to ask the question in person???

    I also have this problem.  Fortunately there was still some Apple Care available on our iPad 3, so I used that serial number to get through.  Once connected I told them what appeared when I tried to use the iPad Air serial number ( same message you got).  They checked to see if my iPad Air's serial number was registered and it was and showing that I have Apple care on it.  I really thought this would be resolved by now....it is 2 weeks.  We have paid lots of money for this service!

  • Apple, please fix your connectivity problem for the iPad Air 2! Your OS 8.2 did nothing to fix this!! Very frustrating to not be able to connect to wifi some days!

    can someone from apple please address the wifi connectivity problems with the iPad Air 2??

    thank you for responding. My specific wifi issue is that my connection will disconnect then reconnect in a matter of minutes of each other. After an hour of this back and forth dance of connections it finally stays disconnected. I can go two weeks without  this issue then it will start up again for a day or 2. I have done all the basic troubleshooting.. Including checking and restarting my modem and router. Our iPad mini does not have these issues. None of our laptops/iPhones or xbox have connectivity issues. I have found many other iPad Air 2 users complaining of the same iconnection problems on various blogs. One blog had even discussed the ios update and how they were surprised it did not include a bug fix for this connectivity problem.
