This week’s iPad-case roundup features some great keyboard cases, alongside a number of protective accessories designed for use in the boardroom, and a few that go just about anywhere.
The FreeStyle (iPad Air; $60) is a folio-style case that features a special design capable of propping up your iPad for viewing or typing in both landscape and portrait orientations.
The case is available in black, slate, or red.
The designer’s collaboration with DodoCase (iPad 2, 3, and 4) has produced a special edition of the company’s trademark bookbound iPad case.
The case features a lightweight, solid-core bamboo tray and a special interior pattern, combined with a black or blue canvas exterior.
The Vintage (iPad Air; $60) features a leather-like aesthetic with a classic black-and-tan palette, a magnetic closure, and an inner card pocket.
The front cover flips around to double as a viewing or typing stand in landscape orientation.
The Paperback (all iPad models; $165) is made from high-quality imported leather for a unique look, with the designer’s logo embossed in gold leaf.
The sleeve-style case is perfect for carrying your tablet in a business setting, and it features a discreet snap closure to keep your electronics safe during transport.
The CEO Folio (iPad Air; $65) is made from top-quality materials designed to fit well in the boardroom, with a beautiful stitched exterior and a generous amount of storage space for paper, cards, and even a stylus.
The case’s front cover doubles as a viewing or typing stand in landscape orientation, with a special viewing angle designed to provide maximum stability in your lap.
The FabricSkin (iPad Air; $150) combines a folio-style case with a thin, Bluetooth keyboard that features large, full-size keys and weighs less than one pound.
The FabricSkin comes in black, red, and grey.
The company’s Aluminum Finish Keyboard Stand (iPad Air; $80) combines a wireless Bluetooth keyboard with a stand that props your tablet at a comfortable viewing angle for typing.
When not in use, the stand doubles as a cover that’s compatible with the iPad Air’s magnetic sleep/wake function.
The NuGuard KX (iPad mini; $40) brings the company’s popular gel-based protection technology to Apple’s smallest tablets, with a one-piece construction that keeps your iPad safe while minimizing the bulk it adds to it.
The case, which meets military toughness standards for shock and dust protection, also features a raised front lip to help keep your screen away from surfaces when you rest your device face-down.
The Triad (iPad Air; $40) combines a polycarbonate shell with a pearlized polyurethane material to provide excellent padding and shock protection with minimal bulk.
Available in black, blue, red, or purple, the case also features a screen cover that flips around to double as a viewing or typing stand in landscape orientation.
