When it comes to protecting your iPad Air, finding the right case can be challenging. The ESR iPad Air/Pro Case (compatible with iPad Air 11 Inch M2 (2024) and iPad Air 6/5/4) is a reliable option that blends durability, functionality, and value.

Compatibility and Design

This case is designed specifically for iPad Air models, including Air 11” (2024) and Air 10.9” (2024/2022/2020). While it fits snugly, it does borrow some design elements from the iPad Pro 11-inch model, resulting in a slightly larger camera cutout. To address this, ESR includes a camera cover to close the gap—though it feels like an afterthought and could be more secure.

Versatile Use Modes

One of the standout features is the detachable magnetic folio cover. With strong magnets, the folio attaches securely and can be folded into multiple stand modes, both portrait and landscape. When you don’t need the folio, the back bumper case works independently, providing solid edge protection while keeping the iPad lightweight and portable.

Apple Pencil Support

The case fully supports Apple Pencil Pro and Pencil (USB-C) charging and storage. A dedicated notch on the side allows magnetic charging, while the flap ensures the Pencil stays secure during travel.

Durability and Protection

After nearly a year of daily use, the ESR case has proven its durability. The bumper case offers excellent edge protection, whether used alone or with the folio attached. The material feels sturdy and resistant to daily wear and tear, making it a dependable companion for your iPad.

Value for Money

At a retail price of around $27, frequently discounted, the ESR iPad Air Case offers exceptional value. Its dual-functionality design—usable as both a full folio case and a standalone bumper—makes it versatile and practical for various use cases.

Final Thoughts

Despite the minor gripe with the oversized camera cutout and the added cover piece, the ESR iPad Air Case delivers on durability, flexibility, and functionality. If you’re looking for an affordable, multi-purpose case that protects your device and enhances usability, this one is a solid choice. Highly recommended after almost a year of consistent use.
