## Description

desertcart.com: JETech Case for iPad Air 1st Edition (NOT for iPad Air 2/3/4/5), 9.7 Inch, Smart Cover with Auto Wake/Sleep (Black) : Electronics

Review: Great protection for rough use !! - Great quality and fits my old iPad perfectly. Passing the pad on to my grand children and this cover is solid and will wear well. Easy to install and absolutely functions as advertised.
Review: Just as good (actually better) as my expensive brand name iPad cover! - I wasn't sure about the quality of this case since it was pretty cheap (it was $11.99 when I bought it) but it had good reviews and I decided to try it (and would send it back if it wasn't good). Surprisingly it is indeed a really good case for my iPad Air. I had a purple case that we bought originally with the iPad at BestBuy for $45 so I thought this one for less than $12 couldn't possibly be as good as that one, The old one was a brand name that I forget now, but this one is just as good as that one, and actually better since I like that it has little grooves that allows it to stand alone and my other case didn't have that. This case isn't as thick as the other one, padded, but I like that it's thinner actually. The other case was a bit bulky for my likes. This case will power on and off the iPad with opening and closing of the cover as my more expensive older one did and it's overall just really a good iPad cover. I gave my iPad Air to my husband and thought he may like black instead of the pretty purple one I had on it haha, and I am glad I went with this one! It was easy to slide my iPad Air into and all cutouts are just right for camera etc. I also picked this one because there's no frame around it that holds it in which I saw some others. Those with the frame seem to have issues at times as it sometimes blocks things on the screen (according to the reviews I read) such as a sensor that is able to detect when the light in a room is dimmer and therefore the iPad display will brighten or lighten accordingly. The case is easy to wipe off if needed and doesn't show oily or greasy fingerprints like my old case did so I like that about this one too. I couldn't find anything that I don't like about it so it gets 5 stars!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Case for the price and functions
*by D***V on May 21, 2020*

The case was a replacement for my IPad Air1. (Your probably wondering what I’m doing with such a legacy device in 2020 but I’ll get to that) The case which holds the iPad is a hard plastic. It snaps into place when applied. *It does not have much flex and if you need to remove and reapply the case, you might end up breaking the case. The body of the case is plastic and it doesn’t look like it will take much bounce from falls. The cover flap is magnetic and folds easy, the sleep function works as expected. The iPad with the case sits well in my Logitech Bluetooth keyboard. Speakers and thunderbolt access is exposed so if you were to drop this on the table and it happens to hit the unexposed part, its going to get damaged. Great quality feel, easy to hold. You’re probably not gonna find any newer cases for your iPad Air 1 Back to the iPad. I recently got it for FREE. The most I spent on the iPad was this case. I prefer responding my emails using the ipad than my phone. I sent the device to dfu mode and dropped the latest iOS itunes could give it. Yea its stuck on12.9 iOS because its legacy, but its not like I’m doing AAA titles like modern warfare or fortnite on it. That’s what my gaming pc is for. Games like Epic 7 work flawlessly on the device. The iPad still works for Netflix/web browsing/zoom/skype/outlook ect. Battery life is fantastic.
