Why is this case so much less expensive than the other apple smart cases for iPad air 2? Thank you.

Well because the iPad air 2 is new, everything for it will be more expensive. This case however is the same as you would find in any store. Why it is cheaper, who knows. But it is the same product and a must buy for an iPad air!

Hi, this is for the iPad air. even though it's cheaper, it is leather and works great. It's also an apple product.

I don't really know, I refused to pay $79 for the apple case and the cheaper one offer no coverage for the back side of the ipad. As I said in my review this is a really snug fitting case that protects all sides and corners. I like the color, and the fact that it is very lightweight also.

Typically each model of ipad needs specific case due to dimension changes .. in this case the only minor change to depth dimension -ipad air 2 is thinner by .05 inches. (.24 inch for ipad air 2 vs. .29 inches for ipad air ... The lenght and width dimensions are same.https://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/#comparison-chart

I actually do. I had the targus for a week before returning it. Its an "OK" case, but the detour case is better. The targus fell a lot so I returned it and looked for something better better (Though the new taller dimensions of the ipad air makes all these cases less sturdy than the previous versions). The detour has the same quality material as the targus, a window for the apple logo, a better rotating mechanism and its also much cheaper. Hope that helps.

I have an iPad 2 and of course the case fits well. According to Apple's website the ipad 2 is 7.3" x 9.5". The ipad air is 6.6" x 9.4". That's more than a half inch difference in width. That could be significant. Also, because the iPad Air is much thinner and this case relies on elastic bands to hold the ipad, I would be careful about using it. Its possible the size difference is not significant enough to matter, but I would probably look elsewhere...or wait for them to produce a case specifically made for the ipad Air.

Hi dwd! Thanks for your inquiry! The iPad Air is a bit smaller than the iPad 2, 3 and 4 that this case is described for, so it might fit a tad bit loose. iPad Air: 9.4 x 6.6 x 0.29in (240 x 169.5 x 7.5mm) iPad 2,3,4: 9.50 x 7.31 x 0.34in (241.2 x 185.7 x 8.8mm) We have considered offering other colors, though we just wanted to be sure we had the design of this just right and see that it was selling well before we dove in too deep. If you feel that this case might work out for you, let me know what colors you would be interested in and I will of course pass that request along to our Product Development team. I can be contacted directly via this link:

I haven't tried any other case for ipad air .i am very happy with this compared previous experience of other cases for android tablets ..

The case is articulated into two connected parts like a clam shell. One part, or side, contains the keyboard, while the second side holds your iPad Air. You get a protective case when folded, or open it to use the keyboard. Also, when open , you can extend the iPad side (pulls out on slider rails), and prop it up for typing. Really a great case IMHO.

This is the 2nd case that I have ordered like this and I love it!!! I used the first one for over 3 years for the iPad 2 and it was a complete match... Not sure why others would mention it doesn't fit...maybe they had it in upside down. Since the new iPad air was smaller it wasn't as good a fit...but I still love !!!!

I've come to the conclusion that ALL "cases" for Apple products are not particularly useful. Who has the ability to compete with APPLE what it comes to design & functionality?!

I think this supplier just got in trouble with the Apple iPad air 2.. It appears that this is not the only supplier that advertise for Apple iPad air 2 and Apple changed the design therefore that box doesn't work. Can't comment on the color. we just opened the box, tested for size fail that, sent it back...

Hi. The version I bought is for the iPad 2 and it fits pretty snugly. I would think that although the iPad Air (1-2) might fit in regards to most aspects but the width would be an issue as it's meant for a thicker device. If there's a new version for the iPad Air, I would definitely recommend it. I gave it tony nephew and he has definitely used and abused it and the iPad remains in working order.

the one I bought was for my iPad air 2 which fits it perfectly. read carefully because i bought another thatwas for the iPad air - but not the iPad air 2. my other iPad would be too big for this case.
