JETech Case for iPad Air 1st Gen, Black

Affordable and perfect for children , easy to use and install perfect size magnetic

When my original Apple Smart Cover for my iPad Air finally ripped, I began looking for an alternative case/cover combo that would protect my iPad, look just as good, but hopefully cost just a fraction of the price. I came across the JETech iPad Air Slim-Fit Case, and decided that I couldn't go wrong for the price. I ordered it, not sure what to expect. The case arrived and I pulled it out of it's nondescript packaging. I was immediately struck by how nice the case felt in my hand. I expected it to have the feel of plastic, but it actually feels more like a suede type finish, very similar to the Smart Cover that I originally had. It is smooth, but sufficiently grippy in my hand. The inside of the "cover" portion was made of a micro-fiber like material–again, just like the Smart Cover–that not only protected the display but also may have provided a similar "cleaning" effect as it moved around on the screen. I put it on my iPad and was pleasantly surprised to find that it fit perfectly and added very little bulk or weight. A simple "snap" in place, and it was securely on. The cover closed exactly as it was supposed to, and the iPad woke up and went to sleep as I opened and then closed it again. So far, I was impressed. The real test, however, was whether or not it would protect my iPad from my children, of which I have several. Would this case withstand their incessant thievery of my iPad, their greasy and grimy fingers as they unscrupulously tapped on the display to find the latest episode of "Disney Collector", or their propensity to drop the iPad every time they walked into the Kitchen? Only time would tell. I don't recall when I purchased this product for the first time. Several days ago, however, I came home to find that one of my precious offspring had dropped the iPad on the tile floor. It was laying on the counter when I came home. A loving sibling of the guilty party was quick to inform me of the infraction, menacingly–even, perhaps, enjoyable–telling me that her sister had "broken the iPad". But she was wrong. The iPad was NOT broken. The case had broken. A small, corner had chipped off, and as a result, the case no longer snapped on to the iPad. Nay, my daughter had not broken my iPad after all. In fact, what she had done was prove that this case had done precisely what this case was purchased to do: it had protected my iPad from what would no doubt have been a cracked screen, had the case not taken the blow on it's behalf. I immediately signed in to Amazon, and bought another JETech iPad Air Case. If it protected my iPad once, it could do it again. When it arrived, the old one went into the trash can. Job well done, my friend.

The case is lightweight while still offering great protection against scratches and minor impacts. It provides easy access to all buttons, ports, and features without adding unnecessary bulk.

This is a great, inexpensive case! The iPad fits securely in the back part of the case. When the front cover is closed, it puts the tablet in sleep mode. It awakens when opened up again. I like that the front cover folds into thirds to support the tablet in landscape mode. This stand will not hold the tablet in portrait mode, but I have a separate folding stand for that, so it isn't a problem. This case looks and functions just like some much more expensive cases. I am pleased with it! Update! I was pleased with this case for about 6-8 months. Then it began breaking off and cracking...first one corner, then another. I am not really sure what caused the breaks, as I am the only user and don't recall dropping my iPad or any other rough stuff. When the bottom corners chipped off, it was difficult to keep the device in the cover. Eventually all 4 corners were broken off and cracking. Time for a replacement. I just received the Zover-Ultra-Lightweight-Smart-shell iPad Air Case from Amazon today. Instead of a hard plastic (and breakable) shell, this one is more like hard rubber. I am hoping it will hold up longer. The JETech cover was very reasonably priced, so I don't feel as if I'm out a lot of money. It worked fine for several months.

I wasn't sure about the quality of this case since it was pretty cheap (it was $11.99 when I bought it) but it had good reviews and I decided to try it (and would send it back if it wasn't good). Surprisingly it is indeed a really good case for my iPad Air. I had a purple case that we bought originally with the iPad at BestBuy for $45 so I thought this one for less than $12 couldn't possibly be as good as that one, The old one was a brand name that I forget now, but this one is just as good as that one, and actually better since I like that it has little grooves that allows it to stand alone and my other case didn't have that. This case isn't as thick as the other one, padded, but I like that it's thinner actually. The other case was a bit bulky for my likes. This case will power on and off the iPad with opening and closing of the cover as my more expensive older one did and it's overall just really a good iPad cover. I gave my iPad Air to my husband and thought he may like black instead of the pretty purple one I had on it haha, and I am glad I went with this one! It was easy to slide my iPad Air into and all cutouts are just right for camera etc. I also picked this one because there's no frame around it that holds it in which I saw some others. Those with the frame seem to have issues at times as it sometimes blocks things on the screen (according to the reviews I read) such as a sensor that is able to detect when the light in a room is dimmer and therefore the iPad display will brighten or lighten accordingly. The case is easy to wipe off if needed and doesn't show oily or greasy fingerprints like my old case did so I like that about this one too. I couldn't find anything that I don't like about it so it gets 5 stars!

Good quality

First let me say I've been using an iPad Air 1st Generation since 2013 almost on a daily basis. When I bought it I also purchased a case for the iPad directly from Apple as well... which cost $80 at the time. It worked, but not worth the $80 in my opinion. Through the last 5 years of using the iPad Air the case eventually wore down to the point where I try to stand the iPad up in the case but it just slides out of the case. Obviously this was just normal wear and tear over 5 years of using my iPad, but still not worth paying $80 to get the case from Apple in my opinion. Review: This iPad case over is great! For one thing it's much cheaper than buying a case from Apple. Secondly it also locks into place on your iPad vs Apples iPad cover which also fit good on the iPad but it didn't lock into place. When I say it locks into place you can hear all four corners snap into place, so you know your getting a very secure case and tight case. This iPad case doesn't cover up the speakers or around the charging port at the bottom of the iPad Air where as Apple's iPad case does. Because of this it's also easier to listen on the iPad when not using headphones and also makes it a little bit easier to plug in when you need to charge your iPad. I should also mention that this case also has the magnetic strip for when you want to stand the case up. One thing this case does lack is that it doesn't cover over the buttons on the iPad. With that being said the buttons are still easily accessible even with the case on. Pros: 1. Cost significantly less than Apple's iPad Air cases 2. Snaps into place for a very secure fit 3. Doesn't cover the speakers on the bottom of the iPad 4. Has magnetic strip to keep the case in position when standing it up Cons: 1. Since it snaps so securely into the iPad it could make some small marks on the corners of the iPad 2. The case doesn't cover any of the buttons on the iPad (volume up, volume down, power button)

When I opened the box I thought it was nice looking cover. The finish for the most part is smooth and even. But upon closer examination it appears to be relatively cheaply made. Very cheaply made in fact. The rear of the hard shell has a nice uniform finish but appears to be cheap inexpensive plastic. The coating on the shell is actually a little slippery so don't expect to get a lot of grip out of this. The inside of the shell is hard plastic with no lining of any kind- not a shock at this price point. You get what you pay for, right? The edges along the border where the shell meets the screen are a bit rough and unfinished in some parts so it's not the cleanest look. The iPad fits perfectly as it snaps right in and the holes for everything (camera, mics, etc.) are close enough. It feels very secure. The folding cover works as it should, locking the iPad; and the fit is also good here. The outer plastic on mine looks like it separated a bit (or never molded quite right), but it's not a big deal. The inside lining seems like it will protect the screen from scratches. Overall, probably paid twice what it is worth. I'll probably go ahead and buy an Apple case. This case is not something I could recommend to anyone. Would I buy this again.........NO!

It fits and the color is like in the picture

JETech® Gold Serial iPad Air Slim Fit Smart Case Cover Custodia per Apple iPad Air iPad 5 con funzione auto sonno / sveglia Confezione e contenuto Presente lo stretto necessario, ovvero lo smart case. Materiali e design La cover posteriore che protegge il retro del iPad Air è in plastica gommata di ottima fattura, mentre la parte superiore che protegge lo schermo è in microfibra di elevata qualità ed molto bella al tatto un po’ come accadde con lo smart case marchiato Apple. Specifiche tecniche Lo smart case in question è SOLO compatibile con il modello iPad Air e non con iPad Air 2. Inserendo il mio iPad Air non ho avuto problemi, calza a pennello. User Experience Lo smart case che avevo prima dopo 2 anni si è completamente distrutto (non era della stessa marca) specialmente la parte proteggi schermo. Questo smart case è molto migliore, prima di tutto perché la parte posteriore è gommata quindi non scivola su nessuna superficie e non riga l’iPad. Inoltre il proteggi schermo sembra realizzato in ottima microfibra perciò sono molto soddisfatto. Giudizio finale Aspettavo da un po’ di tempo che il prezzo di questo smart case della JeTech scendesse, infatti appena sceso non ci ho pensato due volte a compralo. Personalmente credo che per la qualità dei materiali ed al prezzo a cui viene venduto, sia proprio un BEST BUY!

Il prodotto è come nella foto.

Very sturdy case! Seems built to last! Very pleased!😀

Bon achat pour ce prix. La couleur est vraiment très sympa. Utilisée pour un iPad Air 1ère génération.
