    I am looking for a simple THIN back case for my iPad Air 2. Everywhere I look is a smart-case type case and I simply dont want one. Anyone have any recommendations for a thin case that just wraps around the back of the iPad Air 2 for some protection? I just want something that adds to grip to the ipad!

    Check Amazon. Most likely will be a cheap third party case, which will cost next to nothing.

    You just want a shell, not a case?

    Now that you have the right term, try your Amazon search again. Lots of shells in Los of colors.

    The iPad Pro 9.7 Apple silicone case fits the iPad Air 2 perfectly. Sure there are two extra speaker holes on one side but the mics and other buttons and camera and all are in the same place, so nothing is covered up. Combined with the official iPad Air 2 Smart Cover- it works great.
