The perfect case designed specifically for the iPad Air 4

Absolutely love this case! It's important to buy a case that's specifically designed for the iPad Air 4 and not the iPad Pro 11. The Air 4 will technically fit the Pro 11 case, but if you buy a case originally designed for the Pro 11, it will NOT work. the way you want. Fingerprint ID doesn't work because the fingerprint scanner moved slightly to the center on the Air 4, switching from sleep to wake doesn't work because the magnet moved, and wireless charging for the 2nd gen Apple Pencil works not case. But this case is perfect for Air 4! I have 6 requirements when it comes to an iPad case: 1) sleep to wake up 2) fingerprint identification feature 3) good button fit so you don't have to press hard 4) Apple Pencil 2nd Gen wireless charging 5) triple kickstand 6) There are no fingerprints on the back, so there is usually a cloth backing. This case scores 5.5 of those requirements, and for the price, it's not a problem. There are small fingerprints on the back of the case, but the material is textured rather than smooth plastic, so the fingerprints are almost invisible! The fit is perfect. My iPad is available. The buttons are so easy to press as if the case were not on. And in my video you can see that sleeping and waking, Apple Pencil 2nd Gen wireless charging and fingerprint recognition work great! The case is very light, which I really like, but it doesn't offer enough protection if you drop it. The corners are just plastic, no rubber. But unless you're a toddler and just care about your expensive tech, that's no problem lol. In the reviews, some people complained about the "metallic" look of the finish? I think "structured" is the best word for it. As said, this helps prevent fingerprints and feels less like cheap plastic and is more durable. But that's just my opinion! Overall I LOVE this case and would definitely recommend and buy it again!

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A dubious purchase for seniors
