iPad Cases

[Cram]

Why is it so hard to find something decent without spending a fortune?

I bought Mrs Cram an iPad Air 5 and she bought a case from vAmazon. It has the look of a leather portfolio case but for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, the volume control buttons didn't work so she sent it back and got a different one (not quite as nice but hey ho). It didn't fit though (one side wasn't quite flush) so back that went. She then decided to order the 1st one again, hoping it was a one off issue. Of course, it wasn't a one off and the same issue arose. She contacted the seller who said that they would investigate but, in the meantime, they'd refund her and there was no need to return the case. It's still useable as she can control the volume with control centre, so she can use it until she fins something better but it shouldn't be this hard.

This is the case in question: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08M3P71DH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Well, this is why I generally stick with either Apple or well-known third-party accessories. The prices may be higher but the quality tends to be much better, not only compatibility with the iPad but also durability.

Otterbox has a case for the Air 5, it is quite a bit more expensive than the one you purchased on Amazon, but you'll most likely be much more satisfied. I would also suggest keeping an eye on the posts in the similar thread below here on MacRumors:

That's just the point. She's seen nothing as nice as the one she got, even at a higher price point. Those Otterbox ones are horrid and nothing like the type she's looking for.

I'm sure they're great but definitely not the case we're looking for.

I have this case which looks similar to yours. Looks very professional to take to meetings with clients, and yes...the volume works no problem. Also looks to be about the same price. I liked it so much that I ordered a second one.

Thanks, I'll pass those on to her. ?

You are quite welcome. I was just reading the description and questions for the iPP 11 case and the manufacture said it will work perfectly with the iPad Air 4 and 5. I think you may like the iPP 11 version better. More protection, and just classy looking.

Thanks. I know the 11" Magic Keyboard fits the Air so that would make sense.
