Does the case provide any protection if the iPad Air is dropped? Or would that require a different product?

I say that it would protect the screen if the lid didn't flap open. The sides are well protected without any issues accessing the ports. It's definitely no Otterbox if you think you may drop it from time to time...

Its actually a very good case for protection. The iPad sits in a hard plastic backing that pretty much encapsulates it.

All the slim cases offer less protection than full size cases. That being said, they fit the product much better.

There is no padding on this case. It will protect your Ipad from scratches & scuffs but I don't think it will be much protection if your tablet is dropped from any distance. Hope this helps.

I JUST had my iPad fall off a high table onto a cement floor, and this case saved it. It bounced from one corner to another. Both corners of the case are now cracked and bent (the first point of impact more damaged than the second) but the iPad is in perfect condition. I came here to get a new one to replace it.

I had the case on my iPad Air, my two year old drops it in the kitchen and the screen cracked.I've had the screen repaired and still use the case on it, but now usage is supervised. :)

I don't think it'll work without the screen protector. Both of the hardshell thesis snap together to hold the iPad firmly in place and the rubber bumper fits snugly over that. If you're not interested in the screen protector then I'd look for another case.

Absolutely. In fact the other day I dropped my iPad twice and it landed on the floor and nothing happened. This cover from Speck is great. Love it!! It sure protects your tablet.

Yes, it provides some protection as soon as the screen isn't hit directly while it falls. Anyway, a three feet drop is high... For that maybe another type of case, a thicker one, could be more useful. My nephew of 5 years uses the tablet with the case, and he is very careful, he sits down and is not walking around with it, that can help too.

It will protect it from cracking/ breaking if it is dropped. However, it won't from direct impact to to the screen. If something heavy is dropped on it, (nothing will protect it then).

Yes, it will keep your iPad 4 secure and protected. You absolutely do not need an additional case for protection. I've had this for about a month and been extremely happy with the keyboard and case.

I don't change cases at all with my iPad air and the edges of the Zagg are clean and secure as can be. I would think as long as you're not actively getting UNDER the edge of the cover and lifting it off the glass you should be fine. The material is super high quality and of course zagg offers a lifetime guarantee on it as well.

Generally, yes it will protect it if dropped from the normal standing height of a person. This is a pretty robust case but I'm sure there are certain situations depending on how it is dropped, how it lands, etc that the phone will not be protected.

My iPad does not have armor, so I am not speaking from experience. If it is as thin as a screen protector, it should work.

It might but to be honest I returned mine because my iPad Air was too heavy for it. The product is not worth it

This is really hard to drop lol and it does have room for adapter and if you somehow did drop it I think the protection is pretty decent. I have a MacBook Air so keep that in mind

I believe so. The ipad snaps into the case and then the case has a flap that covers the screen and the black strap is elastic and keeps the cover in place. Not sure how it might help if the ipad were dropped, but it serves our purpose.

I cannot speak to other cases, but this is leather, somewhat padded, suede inside against the iPad. The outside extends slightly beyond the pad and has leather wrapped around the pad on all sides. It reminds one of a sports case given its design. It is fully protective of the ipad as far as I am concerned. Yes, I have dropped it with no damage. I think it is a high-quality product.

There is no direct protection over the screen, but the padded case does protect from any damage due to dropping.

It seems protective enough to me. The edges don't stick out but if you were to have just the right drop you could potentially damage the ipad. Over all I find this to be very secure.

Well.. in the 1st place, i have a full size iPad Air, not a mini. But that is a very good question. I have not yet dropped my iPad Air with the case on it, so there has not been a test of that in my experience. However.. if i had the foresight to have thought of that.. i would have opted for a metal case to prevent damage as much as possible in that event.
