In three and a half years, Apple has released five large-screen iPads. In all that time, though, the iPad Air represents only the second significant physical redesign. Finally, the most popular tablet on the planet actually looks a little different. It's not a wild design departure, mind you, but the iPad Air is noticeably thinner, lighter and streamlined when compared with its predecessor. But at its core, like any other tablet, the iPad Air is just a big, expensive sheet of glass. And as much as you might not want to detract from the Air's sleek, minimal design, you should really get a case to protect it.
Along with the iPad Air, Apple also announced new versions of its own magnetic Smart Case and Smart Cover, which are designed to offer varying degrees of protection for the tablet. They both extend the unmistakable Apple aesthetic, but they shouldn't be your default choice.
In its fourth year, the third-party iPad case and cover market just continues to grow. And a new, slimmer iPad profile means new tablet dimensions that translate to a brand new collection of cases and covers designed specifically for the Air. These cases span the design spectrum from thin skins that do nothing more than add flair all the way up to thick, beefy cases that let you abuse the hell out your tablet without fear.
