iPad Cases, Covers & Keyboard Folios

iPad devotees typically have strong feelings regarding whether they should get an Apple iPad cover. One side prefers not to cover up the beauty of the iPad design, while the other side prioritizes protection of their investment with either an iPad case or an iPad sleeve, since it only takes one accidental drop to result in a cracked screen. Keep in mind that if you’re leaning toward using a case to protect against shock and dust, you can compensate for masking the good looks of your device by choosing an iPad cover with a design that highlights your personal style.

As you start browsing for the best iPad case, there are several considerations that can help you make your ideal choice. If you’re concerned that an iPad protective case adds too much bulk and weight, you’ll want to assess the materials construction of the cover you select. Is your preference for a traditional leather iPad case, or would you be better served by one made from non-slippery polyurethane, rubber, silicone, foam, or some other lighter-weight material? You’ll also want to be sure the one you choose is accessory friendly. When it’s in place, do you have the unobstructed access you’ll need to use an iPad charger? And will the design accommodate your iPad keyboard? Additionally, if it’s important to you that the Apple iPad case can double as a convenient stand, you’ll want to prioritize that as part of your search criteria.

Many iPad enthusiasts wouldn't dream of traveling without their devices. If your iPad is part of your trip gear, the best iPad cover for you is going to be one that has sufficient space for your audio cables to fit in their respective ports so you can use a headset, or perhaps a headphone splitter to share audio with a companion. And music is just the start of why the iPad is a valued travel companion. It can also provide entertainment with reading material and e-books, games, movies or TV shows, access to social media, or keeping in touch with friends and family via FaceTime. Additionally, so you always have the connectivity you want while you’re on the go, you may want to get a mobile hotspot. It acts like a small, battery-powered Wi-Fi base station that goes wherever you go, tapping into a cellular network and providing the connectivity you need without having to search for a public Wi-Fi hotspot.
