Hey everyone, I have a iPad Air 2, had it for nearly 4 years now and very recently, I just bought a brand new case for it which is this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/JETech-304...+2+case+smart&qid=1559510126&s=gateway&sr=8-8

I have putted the iPad in my new case today and putting it in was very simple and little bit easy even though it was hard to push my iPad in to the surprisingly strong grips this time around but unfortunately I am unable to get my iPad Air 2 out of my brand new case, the grips are ridiculously too too strong for some reason and with me being relatively strong, I have tried my absolute hardest to get it out without breaking/damaging my iPad couple of times now and my iPad is still in the case at this moment of time. :(:confused:

And the funny thing is that my last 3 or 4 iPad Air 2 cases are from the same exact case company(JETech) and the old ones before the brand new one that I just got very recently, they was easier and aleast the grips was less less strong, so I was able to get my iPad out of the case despite being from the same exact case company(JETech).

This is the 1st ever time that this has happened to me, This is a big problem, I really really need some help please!!

So can someone tell me on how to get my iPad Air 2 out of this brand new case please??!! What should I do??!! If no luck.... Should I take it to PC World(Currys) the place that I bought the iPad to see if they can able to take out my iPad of the brand new case?? o_Oo_O

I only put my iPad Air 2 in a case just for when I eat food at the dining table like lunch, dinner to make my iPad stand to watch YouTube videos since the iPad does not have a kickstand unfortunately and the only other time is to protect the iPad from getting damaged is when going on holiday while traveling in a car for example but other then that, most of the time I really really prefer to use my iPad naked without a case, I don't really like using my iPad Air 2 in a case. :(

Just to let you guys know I had to buy a new case for my iPad Air 2 because my old cases was breaking like the grips(was not able to hold my iPad anymore) at the end.

This question was asked on the link you posted. The replies were as follows -
It's not easy. The easiest way is to go for the button on the top right and ease it out from there. Hold the case and push the iPad forward from behind the button - once you've freed the corner, you're home and dry.

The case is a very precise, therefore tight fit - as it should be. However the case can easily be removed by prising it off with thumbs at the corners.

Ease each corner off one at a time, start with the more ‘open’ side and it should slide out easily.

Unnfortunately I have tried all of that but I still can't get my iPad Air 2 out of the brand new case. :(

With the previous old iPad Air 2 JETech cases, tried these methods that you have mentioned, had no problems whatsoever getting my iPad out of the previous old cases.

I had the same problem with my 2018 IPP and a similar case i bought from Amazon. I took it i to a jeweler's amd asked them to carefully slice the case off. They did. Be prepared to kiss the case goodbye. In this case, the person who worked on my iPad/case works on mechanical watches.

Once you get it out head over to eBay and buy yourself a leather smart case.

Always do your research when buying a case. ;)
