Would an ipad 2 case fit an ipad 3rd gen?

I Have an ipad 3rd gen and I am having trouble finding a case for it. Would an ipad 2 case fit it, I found an expensive case which said it would fit an ipad 3rd gen, ipad 2 2nd gen and iPads with retina display. I'm a bit confused.
thanks Susie

Yes
There's really no such thing as iPad 1 third gen
I'ts iPad (what became iPad 1 once the 2 came out)
iPad 2
iPad 3 (which was only sold less than a year)
iPad 4
iPad Air (5th gen)
iPad Air 2 (6th gen, although it's rarely referred to as such)
iPad 1, 2 and 3 are pretty much the same. (except for the thickness which I think was to accommodate a different battery) iPad 4 is where the lightning connector came into play. iPad Air and Air 2 had some major size changes.
Your case might fit, it all depends on what kind of case it is. If it's a close fitting silicone or hard case, then likely not. if it's a portfolio kind where you slide your iPad into a sleeve or space in a case then it might. Those are the most forgiving of cases and the extra couple of millimeters in thickness are usually able to slide by.
Depending on where you found the case, if the place has a good return policy you can always give it a try and return it if it doesn't work well.

  • Will Ipad 2 fit in the 3rd gen cases

    I bought a 3rd generation case (targus slim case) and can't find anywhere on the web if it will fit my ipad 2. Everything I search for is whether or not the ipad 2 case will fit the 3/4 gen.
    my question is... Will the ipad 2 fit in the new cases?
    I know the sizes are slightly different, but can anyone help me on this.
    Thanks

    I should add this: 0.03 inches of depth was added after the iPad 2.  But Apple's cases fit all three.  I think other cases will also.

  • Does the original iPad case fit the new iPad (2012)

    Hello Folks..Does the original iPad case fit the new iPad? I am looking for a case but haven't been happy with the choices so far...Has anyone tried the original iPad case on the new iPad? if so, how is it?
    Thanks!!

    Here's the thicknesses: iPad 1 - 0.5", iPad 2 - 0.34", iPad 3 - 0.37"
    So an iPad 3 would fit loosley in an iPad 1 case. However, the iPad 1 doesn't have a camera, so no camera hole in the case. The iPad 3 camera opening in the case may need to be somewhat larger than the iPad 2 camera hole. Unless it's form fitting, I think most iPad 2 cases may fit the iPad 3, but it may be tight.
    For my iPad 2, I bought an Adesso case/keyboard model WKB-2000CD http://www.adesso.com/en/component/content/article/49-coming-soon/455-wkb-2000cd .html Works great & looks good. The keyboard is easier to use than Apple's on-screen keyboard. Do a Google search using the model number to get the best price. About the same price as Apple's covers & it covers the whole iPad. Although the new iPad  is slightly thicker, it should fit this case.

  • Will the new iPad cases fit on an IPad 2

    Will the new iPad cases fit on an IPad 2?

    It appears that it only fits the new iPad. Here is the description page. Go down to the lower left corner where it talks about compatibility.

  • Will iPad 3 case fit an iPad 4

    I am giving an ipad 4 for Christmas. Will an ipad 3 case fit an ipad 4?

    Yes!  I use one.
    Note the dock connectors are different sizes, with the iPad 4 being smaller than the iPad 3.  So if your case has some special provision for the dock connector, that may be a factor.
    But the devices are the same size.

  • Will an iPad case fit the new iPad Air 2

    Will an iPad case fit the new iPad Air 2? I found a charging case for an iPad but it doesn't specifically say for iPad Air 2.

    No, it will be too large.

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

    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.

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

    Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception.  If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
    I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
    Many Thanks

  • Will iPad 2 silicone cases fit new iPad (3rd gen)?

    I have preordered the new iPad and would like to have a case ready for it when it arrives next week.  I was looking on eBay and they have soft silicone cases for iPad 2 and I was wondering if they would fit the new iPad.  They have some stretch so I don't think it would be a problem, but I would like to hear some opinions.  Thanks.

    I'm a case ho. I try them all. We're talking a 0.6 mm difference in depth. I just looked at a ruler to see how small 0.6 mm really is. Not much.
    I'm sure some cases will fit without a hitch. Any case with really tight tolerances will probably have problems. Only time will tell. When My iPad 3 arrives, I've got several cases from the iPad 2 to try out.

  • Would iPad Mini cases fit the iPad mini 2?

    Probably sounds silly as they are virtually the same and no difference in size or dimensions were mentioned but I compared iPad models and the iPad Mini 2 is thicker by 0.3mm. Now this might sound miniscule but cases are made to fit perfectly and I'm afraid even 0.3mm would make a difference in using a case? Am I paying too much attention or should I get cases specifically said to be compatible with iPad Mini 2?

    I think it depends. If you're looking for a tight fitting snap case then you may want to look for Mini 2 cases specific, or get it from a place with a good return policy. If it's a portfolio case or a silicone case you should be fine because they  have more wiggle room.
    i've found that some retailers don't care if you 'try it on' in the store, you just have to ask for their help or be very careful when you open the packaging so that it is still resellable.
    I have a Touch 5 and have found that iPhone 5 cases fit it, the bits of millimeters in difference doesn't pose a problem (Biggest issue I have is buttons being in different places, not case size)

  • Will this iPad 3 case fit my ipad 2?

    Hello!
    I've been looking at iPad 2 cases and this one seems to be perfect for my uses. However, it is labeled as an iPad *3* case (or well, The New iPad), and I was wondering if it would still fit my 2. I understand the iPad 3 is deeper than the iPad 2, but I've had trouble finding all the specifications on this issue.
    The diminsions of the case are:
    0.6 x 9.5 x 7.4 inches
    The Amazon link is:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FTEHF8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3L4 U04EN6IJXX
    Any help would be spectacular, thank you, Internet.

    It will but its gonna be lose....right now i have a ipad 2 case on my ipad 3 and it fits but a little tight...but it still fits...:D......but yea it should fit

  • Will an iPad 2 case fit the iPad Air?

    I want that case for the iPad Air, but it just dawned on me it might not fit. Will it, or do I need to find another case?

    iPad 2 is wider and thicker. A case for it will not fit properly with the iPad Air.

  • Will the ipad 3 case fit the ipad 4

    I am trying to find a folio/hard case for my new ipad 4 and can only find ipad 3 cases.  Will these work.

    Thank you,

  • I have an iPad 3 and Apple TV 3rd gen - all software up to date.  I can use airplay but there is no mirroring option available from the iPad 3.  Why?

    I have been able to get Airplay to work with my iPad 3 and 3rd Generation iPad TV, however there is no mirroring option when I hit the airplay icon - hence I can get audio, but no video.
    iPad software:  iOS 5.1.1
    Apple TV software:  5.0.2 (4250)
    Any thoughts as to what's going wrong?

    Are you enabling Airplay mirroring properly?
    Double click the Home button, scroll to the leftmost screen and under Airplay look to turn mirroring On.

  • What is best iPad case for new iPad?

    I have a cover that works the on/off but have tried a cygnet cover that doesn't activate the on/off.  I need more protection for travel and wanted a case instead. 

    A case is a very personal choice, and there are many to choose from.
    I have the Executive Leather case from Yoobao.  You can get them here:
    http://kevikev.com/Yoobao-Executive-Leather-Smart-Cover-Case-for-New-Apple-iPad- 3-YBNEWIPADEX.htm
    It's made of leather and comes in 6 colors.  The cover works the sleep/wake function, and the case provides substantial protection to all sides of the iPad.  The cover portion can also function as a stand.  It's also thin, so it does not add any additional bulk to the iPad itself.  Highly recommended.
