Product fit great, doesn't affect the view because of the new bezels. It holds it great for landscape view. Protects the iPad well all the outer corners (see the pictures). The only thing is that the case won't let you charge the Apple Pencil because it prevents it to attach the side and charge (check the last picture). Other than that the case it's really great.

This case works great to protect my son’s school ipad. Ipad fits very well inside without slipping out. It can also be used as a stand which is very helpful for online classes and meetings.

I bought a SaharaCase for my brand new iPad and it fits well and offers good protection from damage. It also has a new kind of fold-back support for standing the pad at a comfortable angle for viewing. It seems durable. I like it.

I love using my iPad to watch my favorite shows but I am also quite clumsy and have ended up cracking a few screens. This time around I decided to order a protective case for my latest iPad and I am glad I did. This case is very high quality and it looks really expensive. I like that it has a special pocket for the apple pen as well. I have dropped my ipad a couple of times already and not a crack in sight!

I had been looking for a nice case for my iPad Air. After considering other cases, I decided to get this one, and let me tell you; it fit my iPad Air perfectly. It is lightweight, easy to carry, my iPad felt very secure, and it has an expensive look to it. I am so pleased with this case.

This ipad cover is pretty good. It has the feel of the hard case but lighter. It also is an improvement from my last case. My old one was leather but the ipad kept slipping out. This one has a velcro strap to hold it in place. The case also has a built in stand and a strap to carry it one handed. It doesn’t have a screen protector. That would make it perfect!

Pros: Bought this folio, in grey, for my iPad Air to make travel easier; my usual cover has a keyboard attached and is much heavier.
I’m sure most users of this type of cover know how to install it, but I was stumped upon “unboxing” it until I noticed the entire bottom of the mounting bracket is open - just slip the iPad in and bend the velcro flap under to hold the tech in place. There is a nice pen loop at the top/side of the cover and a place on the back for an Apple Pencil (my pencil doesn’t recharge on the magnet), which is very secure. The hinged cover which has a kickstand is at a good angle.
The “cons” I are that the iPad is not held as securely as it might be and the openings for charging and sliding up from the bottom to close an app may be obscured by the case which requires constant adjustment - I couldn’t figure out why the charge cable wasn’t working until I saw that the opening in the case was slightly out of line with the port. I don’t know how long the hinged case will last as I’ve only had it a short period of time and it appears as though it might crack at the hinge after some use. I also would’ve appreciated some sort of magnetic closure rather than the attached elastic band that holds the case shut.

This new case was a much better fit than my previous case. My only complaint is that when I’m playing one of my games & the forward or exit symbols are in the top left or top right corner-the case covers up the symbols slightly & I have to push the symbols several times before they deploy.

For an iPad Air 4 (2020), this is probably a good case but to market this as a case for an iPad Air 5 (2022) is just a little bit dubious, mainly in regards to the Apple Pencil 2. The iPad Air 4 was only compatible with an Apple Pencil 1 and it had to be charged via the iPad’s Lightning port. The iPad Air 5 is compatible with an Apple Pencil 2. The Apple Pencil 2 charges wirelessly by placing it on the right side of the device. This case does not allow the Apple Pencil 2 to charge while in the case as it can’t get close enough to the device to charge, meaning, you have to remove the iPad from the case to charge an Apple Pencil 2.
So, if you don’t use an Apple Pencil 2, then this case is great. It feels premium enough, it closes well and is nice to hold. For that reason, I’d recommend this case if you do not have a need to use a Pencil.
I have dinged this item an star because no where does Best Buy/SaharaCase make it clear that this case is not compatible with an Apple Pencil 2 & pretty much any person buying an iPad Air 5 and a Pencil will be buying an Apple Pencil 2 to use with it so it would have been nice to make that abundantly clear in the product description.

This case fits well. It’s a very pretty color. So far very sturdy.

Not the most durable product and also makes use of my apple pencil gen 2 more difficult because the case does not support the magnetic attachment, and I have to take it out of the case to charge my pencil. Aside from that though, it is very adjustable and protects my Ipad well enough.

I love this case! I feel like it keeps my iPad safe. I only transport it from work to home, if you’re looking for a more “rugged” case, this is not that! It is sleek and I love the color! It’s easy to use and I have no trouble using my device in this case!

Fantastic case for my new rose gold iPad Air! It fits snugly and is easy to put in or take out if I don’t want to use it. I love playing my games with ease as it sits on my lap. It’s well-protected by a flap with a stretch band. Mine is pink, which happens to be a fave color of mine.

Great protective cover. Touch control easy to access. A bit more difficult for volume control but easy to adjust

This folio case is perfect! It's lighweight (important for my carry-on), attractive, versatile, and matches my rose gold iPad perfectly - well done, SaharaCase. I am a very happy customer.

This is a great ipad case. It does the job and seems very sturdy. Easy to use. There is a velcro tab that folds under making it easy to slide the ipad in and keeps it secured when the velcro tab is tucked in and closed. There are 2 spots to hold your apple pen. Elastic strap makes it easy to keep your ipad covered and closed when not in use.
