Why we cut this one
Apple iPad Air M3 2025 — that is the machine this one was measured against. the folio and the stylus go in with the slate, and the outside stays flat enough to slide into a locker or an overhead bin.
A case is worth its room in the bag for what it stops, and on the Apple iPad Air M3 the part that pays for a knock is the lid. A slate bends before it breaks, so the shell is rigid across the whole face rather than only at the rim. The shell takes the hit instead, so we would rather it be stiff and slightly dull than soft and pretty.
There is a flat pocket for an adapter, a dongle and a folded cloth. It sits against the outer wall, so adding a charger does not press anything into the lid of the Apple iPad Air M3.
The plain finish is what this listing is in 13 inch — it was measured against 13 inch Apple iPad Air M3 2025/M2 2024, for 13 inch iPadPro M4 2024, Case (X8245).
