- Your iPad deserves protection from daily life, so you need the best iPad case for your needs.
- Our favorite case makers include Moko, Urban Armour Gear, Moshi, New Trent, JETech, and Apple.
Your trusty iPad is the supplement to your laptop that you never knew you needed, but it's not quite as hardy as your computer. While I've found that I can get by almost exclusively on my Apple tablet rather than my MacBook, I also once lived in fear of dropping it, spilling on it, or otherwise causing it great harm and distress. Luckily, there are a plethora of iPad cases to assuage my (and now your) fears.
When it comes to choosing an iPad case, you'll want to keep in mind which model you have. Apple currently sells four iPads, which means that there are four sizes on the market. Don't make the rookie mistake of buying a great case for a smaller model, or for an older iPad that has been discontinued.
You'll also want to find a case that actually does its job, which is to say, stays put on top of your iPad, preventing it from getting nicked and scratched.
Seeing as you probably paid quite a pretty penny for your iPad, you probably don't want to spend an arm and a leg on its case. Luckily, there are plenty of budget options that get the job done - not everything has to be Apple-priced.
And you might also consider if you want your iPad case to double as a stand, and if so, how versatile this stand ought to be. If you only ever use your iPad for one purpose or in one position, this may not be as important. But if you're alternating between reading, typing, and watching movies, you may want to give this a bit more thought.
No matter which of these cases you select, we're confident you'll have an iPad that looks great and is well-protected.
