The best iPad Air cases of 2026: Expert tested

Apple's iPad Air is lightweight and powerful, but protection and functionality matter. ZDNET handpicked and tested several iPad Air cases from brands including Casetify, Apple, Burga, Moft, Logitech and OtterBox, focusing on models that add protection and extras like keyboards, trackpads, stylus storage and stands.

Our top pick is the Zugu iPad Air case. It offers an adjustable stand with eight configurations, a bumper and rugged shell for drop protection, a stylus pocket, wireless Apple Pencil charging compatibility, and a range of colors. Zugu cases also include a one-time AppleCare+ repair fee option and typically range from $60 to $70.

Other noteworthy choices include Burga’s folio case, which emphasizes printed designs, Apple Pencil storage and charging, a raised bezel and shock absorption at an approximately $70 price point, and the Moft Float Folio, an origami-inspired duo system with three stand positions including an ultra-high option for eye-level use.
