Just bought a new one because my current one is not getting anymore updates and getting very slow.

What brands would you all recommend case wise and where to buy one mostly? (Guessing Amazon)
 
My problem is too I am not sure if I want one with a cover or not or just one for the body of the iPad (back)
 
I guess I should of said lightweight but I am trying too and it seems difficult to find a good quality case at $30 or less. :(

All I see is $8.99 to $14.99 mostly.

I am not complaining just scared to get a case that cheap.
 
How heavy should a iPad case be maximum in ounces before it is noticeable ?

I don't really want a cheap version of a case if that means anything. At least a decent one.

Sorry.
 
I use this one for my 7th gen:


Doesn't add much weight compared to other cases. I find similar cases with hard shell backs tend to crack. Plus, the rubbery cases are just easier to install and remove when needed.

Thank you.

I was scared to buy that one sense it was so cheap. Though it seems to be at least decent it seems!

Wish there was a little more higher quality one for $10 or $20 more.

I've used Targus and Otterbox before. Not a fan since they add too much weight.

One last question of the case you linked.



Does it stand well ?

Reasonably well. Probably just like any other SmartCase clone.

I know this case is kinda expensive but how is it if anyone has tried it?

I have the Zugu case for iPad Pro. Really good quality, can’t go wrong with this brand.
