This is my very first iPad, and I have been stuck looking to find myself a good case, all I need is a “thin and light case with good protection”.

I bought the smart folio case with the iPad Air i bought recently, it makes the iPad with the case very thin and portable but I am a really rough user so I cannot trust the magnets to hold the iPad strongly, after the iPad fell 3-4 times while using that case, I decided to change it for a folio shell case but it makes the iPad heavy and hard to grip on. I tried bunch of other cases but some of them make the iPad hefty and the other wouldn’t protect the iPad.

So I am confused as to which one would suit me, I just need it to be light and portable with good protection. I want to get your suggestions from your experience and your usages!

Thank You :)

Been using my iPad Air 11 every day lately—for work, reading, and a bit of drawing.

Still trying to find the best “setup” that feels right.

Do you guys use a case or go bare? Just wondering what most people prefer—especially for people who use it on the go.

I just bought the 2024 IPad Air 11’ M2 model to replace my 2014 model. For years, I’ve loved the Logitech keyboard case. When I look for a keyboard case for my new Ipad, I am dismayed to find Logitech models all come with the TouchPad. I detest using a TouchPad and hate the way it takes up space on the keyboard that could be used for the actual keys.
Zagg makes a couple models without the touchpad, but their reviews lead me to question if that is aa good option.

Any recommendations for a non-touchpad keyboard for the IPad Air 11” M2 model? Ideally, it would also provide decent protection for the Ipad. I use my IPad several hours a day, so battery life for the keyboard is an important consideration for me.

TIA for any suggestions!
