Light as a feather and slender as a glass pane, the iPad Air’s slim design gives you the freedom to take it anywhere. Slip it in a briefcase, backpack, or handbag, or simply hold it in your hand. The iPad Air will not weigh you down. However, don’t let the lightest device on the market deceive you. The iPad Air has Apple’s powerful M1 processing chip and large display screen, allowing you to use it whenever you want. Whether you want to work while commuting, watch YouTube at the coffee shop or run through your meal plan at the office, the iPad Air has got you covered.
The next thing you should invest in after your iPad Air is a protective case. Stuff happens – things fall, slip, or get scratched, and a good case will guard your device against unwanted damage. Or, possibly, repair costs. And, if you want to take it a step further, choose a magnetic case to take advantage of a multitude of features.
Why Should I Choose a Magnetic Case?
Magnets had a bad rap when it came to electronics. For many years, manufacturers warned us to keep our devices away from magnets so as not to ruin them. Putting a magnet close to a hard drive, USB storage pen, or a floppy disc (many years ago) would damage the stored data. However, technology evolved and magnets are no longer vital components of data storage, which now takes place with electrical signals. However, Apple started embedding more magnets in the latest versions of its products. The iPhone 12 has a circle of magnets inside. Even iPads have magnets. Apple’s Magic Keyboard connects and aligns seamlessly with the iPad Pro 2020, thanks to the 90 magnets set in the device.
A magnetic iPad cover gives you several advantages. The magnets in the front flap activate the iPad’s sleep and wake function, saving you battery life. You can also charge the Apple Pencil through the case or attach a keyboard. Either way, buying a magnetic iPad Air case is a win. Here are the best 2022 iPad Air magnetic cases.
1. Zugu iPad Air 10.9 Case
Gone are the days when the iPad slips out of place during an important meeting or while watching a movie. This is one of our favorite magnetic iPad Air cases. Sturdy and solid but still light, the Zugu iPad Air 10.9 case gives you military-grade protection and functionality. The cover is made out of TPU plastic, one of the most robust industrial materials, and reinforced edges. The front flap flips back into a magnetic stand with eight angles. A magnet sits inside each angled slot, securing the flap. Each time you open or close the flap, the iPad wakes or sleeps.
The interior has a soft microfibre lining that is dust and lint-resistant, keeping your iPad Air clean. Charge your Apple Pencil wirelessly before slipping it into a pocket on the back. And the piece de resistance – you can magnetically mount the iPad upright on any front surface, such as a refrigerator.
2. TiMovo Case for iPad Air
Solid and classic, the TiMovo case doesn’t take up much space. The front flap is made out of PU leather and lined with microfibre. The magnetic front flap folds back into a trifold, giving you a typing and viewing angle when using your iPad Air. The cut-out for the camera has a raised bezel for additional protection. In addition, the case has a set of inbuilt solid magnets that hold your iPad Air in place. The TiMovo iPad Air case also activates your device’s sleep/wake function.
3. ESR Rebound Magnetic iPad Air Case
Similar to the TiMovo case, the ESR Rebound magnetic iPad Air case has magnets set in the back that attach to the back of your iPad. You can choose from many colors, including black, forest green, silvery gray, sky blue, purple, and rose gold. The tri-fold magnet flap gives you the option to use the sleep/wake function. And you can bend it back to form two angles to watch a movie or write an email. The ESR Rebound case also wirelessly charges your Apple Pencil, which is secured with a strong side magnet. The case also has a fold-over clasp for additional protection.
4. Oyeeice Case for iPad Air
Oyeeice incorporated technology with magnets to give you a rotating 360-degree protective case for your iPad Air. The device sits inside an inner silicone case. Although no magnets hold the iPad to the inner lining, the outside of the case has several strong magnets. You can then attach it to a foldable cover, which is also magnetic, that converts into a high-angled stand or trifold. The stand’s back flap connects with the magnets on the outside of the inner shell, allowing you to attach the iPad horizontally or vertically. Powerful magnets hold the outer flap in place when closed over the iPad. The Oyeeice case even has a little fold-over flap for additional protection. The cover activates the iPad’s sleep and wake function. And you can also magnetically pop the Apple Pencil on the side to charge.
The case is waterproof, scratchproof, resistant to stains, and made out of environmentally friendly materials.
