2022 iPad Air 5th Generation Case with Pencil Holder

I purchased a new M2 iPad Air for a couple of overseas trips that I was planning on taking. I had gotten another case but it had the front cover becomes a triangle for a stand thing and it just didn't quite work well enough as the iPad kept tipping over. Annoying. So I returned it and after looking around Amazon for a bit ran into this one. It's relatively inexpensive and had a few good reviews so what the heck lemme try it out.Turns out it's way more solid than I was expecting. It has great protection for the iPad itself, fits perfectly. It has a great cut out for the power button that doubles as the fingerprint reader, the other one didn't really so it was a pain to use the fingerprint function. The front cover has indentations so you can angle the screen appropriately. On the back you have an elastic strap that you can use for your hand to grip so its' attached to your hand. The cover itself is perfect, and has its' own elastic band to help keep it closed when not in use.Internally it has a space for the Apple pencil if you use it (I personally don't), and I believe it'll let you charge it while inside. The rubber buttons on the outside to control the volume also work perfectly, and you have more than enough space for the speaker grills and the charging port.The quality itself is pretty dang good. While I don't think it's actual leather it's close enough that I actually started to question if it was or not. It seems sturdy enough and overall really happy with this case/cover. I'll be going to England later this year from Orlando, so we'll see how it fares. Otherwise, very recommended!

Loved the IPad case. Very stylish and durable. Best value as I have owned several kinds that always break or wear out, and were much higher priced. Worth the purchase to keep screen protected. If storing with lid closed, be sure that screen side is facing up because the strap in the inside will transfer its imprint to your screen due to the weight/pressure and you will have to clean it more often.

I bought this case for my buddy, as we bought new IPad Airs together. He likes nicer things and willing to spend more, so I got him this one. Pricier than the ones I get myself but worth it. Not inexpensive, but not cheap, either.It’s very attractive, durable and fits perfectly. He is happy, so I’m happy.5 Stars.

I like many aspects of this HP COUPE iPad Air Generation case. It fully covers the iPad and is designed to offer Drop Protection and I’m sure it does that job very well once the elastic strap goes over the cover. Having used the iPad with its cover on, it is the weight of the cover flap that is responsible for it closing. Which is why the black elastic band is required to hold the cover securely and I wonder how long the elastic will last without stretching. I wish it was designed with a magnetic catch which would secure it much better than always having to put the elastic band over the closure. It looks smart and I like it a lot. However, I find it very heavy, it weighs 14.9 oz so with the iPad weighing 16.9 oz one is carrying 31.3 oz, nearly 2 lbs. The 2014 iPad it replace had an Apple case which only weighed 5.4 oz. So one only had to carry 22.2 oz. Nearly 10 oz less and in a carry-on case to the plane, it surely makes a noticeable difference. I wish this case had a magnetic closure which is mentioned in the Auto Sleep/ Wake mentioned in the synopsis.” The new 2022 cover for IPad Air 5th Generation has a built -in magnet. It doesn’t !!! It is a recommendation I hope will be noted for future cases. Already the HP COUPE Case looks top of the range so why not reduce the weight and use built-in magnets to give the user 100% satisfaction. My Apple case is still functioning very well. I just wish the new iPad fits in that case.

Works well for propping up the tablet, or using it flat.Protective and sturdy

Generally very good. Well made. I wish it had a slightly bigger opening at the top for fingerprint ID use to open.

No complaints. It looks nice, feels nice, works nice, all as expected.

Used for my new 2023 iPad Air 11” M2. Fits perfectly.
