JETech Case for iPad Air 1st Gen, Black

When my original Apple Smart Cover for my iPad Air finally ripped, I began looking for an alternative case/cover combo that would protect my iPad, look just as good, but hopefully cost just a fraction of the price. I came across the JETech iPad Air Slim-Fit Case, and decided that I couldn't go wrong for the price. I ordered it, not sure what to expect. The case arrived and I pulled it out of it's nondescript packaging. I was immediately struck by how nice the case felt in my hand. I expected it to have the feel of plastic, but it actually feels more like a suede type finish, very similar to the Smart Cover that I originally had. It is smooth, but sufficiently grippy in my hand. The inside of the "cover" portion was made of a micro-fiber like material–again, just like the Smart Cover–that not only protected the display but also may have provided a similar "cleaning" effect as it moved around on the screen. I put it on my iPad and was pleasantly surprised to find that it fit perfectly and added very little bulk or weight. A simple "snap" in place, and it was securely on. The cover closed exactly as it was supposed to, and the iPad woke up and went to sleep as I opened and then closed it again. So far, I was impressed. The real test, however, was whether or not it would protect my iPad from my children, of which I have several. Would this case withstand their incessant thievery of my iPad, their greasy and grimy fingers as they unscrupulously tapped on the display to find the latest episode of "Disney Collector", or their propensity to drop the iPad every time they walked into the Kitchen? Only time would tell. I don't recall when I purchased this product for the first time. Several days ago, however, I came home to find that one of my precious offspring had dropped the iPad on the tile floor. It was laying on the counter when I came home. A loving sibling of the guilty party was quick to inform me of the infraction, menacingly–even, perhaps, enjoyable–telling me that her sister had "broken the iPad". But she was wrong. The iPad was NOT broken. The case had broken. A small, corner had chipped off, and as a result, the case no longer snapped on to the iPad. Nay, my daughter had not broken my iPad after all. In fact, what she had done was prove that this case had done precisely what this case was purchased to do: it had protected my iPad from what would no doubt have been a cracked screen, had the case not taken the blow on it's behalf. I immediately signed in to Amazon, and bought another JETech iPad Air Case. If it protected my iPad once, it could do it again. When it arrived, the old one went into the trash can. Job well done, my friend.

My dad passed me down his iPad Air when he got an iPad Air 2, and I first purchased a leather case for $30. The quality wasn't great, so I returned it and used the money to buy this case ($11.99) and the Fintie case ($10.99). These are the two most popular cases on Amazon, and I couldnt tell based on reviews and pictures which one is better. Now that I have them both.....I'm glad I have both! These cases are both great for being so cheap. Once one case wears out I will pop in the the other one and hardly notice a difference. Both cases are light and sleek, but I will point out the highlights of each case to help people that only want to purchase one JETech: -Smooth confortable shell back that adds Very little thickness to the iPad -Sturdy but flexible cover that holds up very well in both typing positions -a tiny bit thinner when compared to Fintie case, but barely noticeable when side to side Note: the cover sticks out a little farther than the actual iPad. Some people might get bugged by this, but I dont think it is a problem and if anything adds more cushion when dropped Fintie case: -Plastic railing over the speaker at bottom of iPad for extra protection -More of a leather look that gives the cheap case a more classy look Overall, I really like both cases. Instead of buying an Apple case for $80, I feel confident with either case that I saved a bunch of money but im still protecting my iPad well. I will update if one of the cases starts to fall apart or not perform as expected, but I'm pleased with both purchases. hopes this helps people like me that spend way too much time researching cases

First let me say I've been using an iPad Air 1st Generation since 2013 almost on a daily basis. When I bought it I also purchased a case for the iPad directly from Apple as well... which cost $80 at the time. It worked, but not worth the $80 in my opinion. Through the last 5 years of using the iPad Air the case eventually wore down to the point where I try to stand the iPad up in the case but it just slides out of the case. Obviously this was just normal wear and tear over 5 years of using my iPad, but still not worth paying $80 to get the case from Apple in my opinion. Review: This iPad case over is great! For one thing it's much cheaper than buying a case from Apple. Secondly it also locks into place on your iPad vs Apples iPad cover which also fit good on the iPad but it didn't lock into place. When I say it locks into place you can hear all four corners snap into place, so you know your getting a very secure case and tight case. This iPad case doesn't cover up the speakers or around the charging port at the bottom of the iPad Air where as Apple's iPad case does. Because of this it's also easier to listen on the iPad when not using headphones and also makes it a little bit easier to plug in when you need to charge your iPad. I should also mention that this case also has the magnetic strip for when you want to stand the case up. One thing this case does lack is that it doesn't cover over the buttons on the iPad. With that being said the buttons are still easily accessible even with the case on. Pros: 1. Cost significantly less than Apple's iPad Air cases 2. Snaps into place for a very secure fit 3. Doesn't cover the speakers on the bottom of the iPad 4. Has magnetic strip to keep the case in position when standing it up Cons: 1. Since it snaps so securely into the iPad it could make some small marks on the corners of the iPad 2. The case doesn't cover any of the buttons on the iPad (volume up, volume down, power button)

This has been a good case for the last 7 years of gentle use. The black on the back did start wearing off.

Affordable and perfect for children , easy to use and install perfect size magnetic

The case is lightweight while still offering great protection against scratches and minor impacts. It provides easy access to all buttons, ports, and features without adding unnecessary bulk.

I will start by saying I hate purses because they end up crammed full of stuff I don't often use, receipts that should have been thrown away, etc. Until this purchase I used a smaller wristlet wallet with a slot to slide a phone. It was ok but bulky with the phone inside and a bit annoying because it was either in my hand or hanging from my wrist. And I dislike every phone case I've owned because I've managed to break every phone screen ( probably because the phone has not been in a purse :) ). I spent at least an hour searching for a phone case, and although I was hopeful this would work based on reviews I was not overly optimistic it would work for me This phone wallet is PERFECT! The phone fits snugly in the case, the wallet snaps tightly ensuring the screen is protected and I can carry just what I need ( well, it's maxed out at 8 cards so maybe a little more). Still room for cash. The chain is not very strong but I've been careful and had no issues. I love that it can be worn over the shoulder or doubled up. Talking on the phone and taking pics- easy, no issues. Overall this wallet with my iPhone 6plus, 8 cards and cash is less bulky than my old wristlet with my iPhone 5. I've only had this 3 weeks but it's holding up great! For the first time ever I love a wallet/purse and phone case!

When I opened the box I thought it was nice looking cover. The finish for the most part is smooth and even. But upon closer examination it appears to be relatively cheaply made. Very cheaply made in fact. The rear of the hard shell has a nice uniform finish but appears to be cheap inexpensive plastic. The coating on the shell is actually a little slippery so don't expect to get a lot of grip out of this. The inside of the shell is hard plastic with no lining of any kind- not a shock at this price point. You get what you pay for, right? The edges along the border where the shell meets the screen are a bit rough and unfinished in some parts so it's not the cleanest look. The iPad fits perfectly as it snaps right in and the holes for everything (camera, mics, etc.) are close enough. It feels very secure. The folding cover works as it should, locking the iPad; and the fit is also good here. The outer plastic on mine looks like it separated a bit (or never molded quite right), but it's not a big deal. The inside lining seems like it will protect the screen from scratches. Overall, probably paid twice what it is worth. I'll probably go ahead and buy an Apple case. This case is not something I could recommend to anyone. Would I buy this again.........NO!

Il prodotto è come nella foto.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden! Die Hülle passt perfekt für mein iPad Air 1. Gen, alle Aussparungen für Kamera, Tasten und Anschlüsse stimmen. Material wirkt hochwertig, innen weich, außen griffig. Die automatische Wake/Sleep Funktion funktioniert einwandfrei. Schützt gut und sieht dabei schlicht und schick in Schwarz aus. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Very sturdy case! Seems built to last! Very pleased!😀

Bon achat pour ce prix. La couleur est vraiment très sympa. Utilisée pour un iPad Air 1ère génération.

Come l'originale la consiglio
