iPad iPad Air Sleeve/Jacket

DODOcase Durable for iPad Air

DODOCase has nice products, and specific to the air, and you can even custom build one. But they're expensive. $60-70 depending. http://www.dodocase.com/products/durables-sleeve-for-ipad-air

Thanks for bringing the DODOcase Durables sleeve into the discussion. For the Air we've added a neat closure snap (see photo). As with all our products it is hand built in San Francisco using traditional techniques.

I bought it and returned it. Tool much loose space inside.

Ah OK, I guess we sit tight and wait for a new version.

Please can someone with the INCASE sleeve post a photo of it with the iPad Air to show the fit.

I purchased my Incase sleeve for $18 at Best Buy.
It is a little bigger, but it doesn't bother me. It protects and does the job.

Thanks for taking the time to do the pics. It doesn't look to badly oversized at all.

The Apple Store sells the "Pro" version. I am not sure what the difference is other than the logo is positioned at the bottom of the case.

rooCASE Apple iPad Air (5th generation iPad) / iPad 4 3 2

Hey Guys,
So I was able to purchase an iPad Air on Launch Day but did not get a case or cover for it, I just love the feel and aesthetic of a naked iPad. I don't know, it's just something I like, I had a Screen Protector and Smart Cover for my iPad Mini 1st Generation and although I did like the Smart Cover, the stand wasn't that great and I love the Screen Protector but I also love the feel of the glass. So, my question is basically, I know Apple Stores and other Tech Stores sell sleeves and Jackets for the iPad, most of which right now are for the iPad 4th Generation but I was wondering if the Sleeves/Jackets are compatible with the iPad Air, I know the bezel is different and the Air is thinner than the older models but will it for the most part fit? How much room will be left over in the Sleeve/Jacket?

~Thanks

I really like the look of that rooCASE. I've had Incases before but I like that the roo has the pocket for storing cables, etc. The bubble padding looks like better insulation too.

This is awesome. Thanks for the link. Never heard of Etsy before, but I msged this seller and she's gonna do a custom for me with thinner foam (I hate bulk), and a bright yellow interior lining rather than white. As a bonus, she says it goes well with the brown folio which I ordered

Psyched!

Never heard of Etsy before...

Etsy rocks. If you're looking for something original and not run of the mill, this is the place to go. Plus it's a great way to support independent artists. I've been ordering from Etsy for years and have yet to be disappointed with a purchase. Enjoy your new sleeve!

I managed to pick up a "Pro" on eBay for a good price. It is essentially the same as the one pictured above with just a few changes in finishes. The zipper is a different design, the edging material is slightly different and the inside fur is grey in colour.

It is slightly oversized in width and depth but not so much that it is a problem. The sleeve should over good protection whilst travelling which is the only time when I will put it to use.

After much looking.. I have found some others.... I have the smart cover.. but still want to protect the back (since I'm planning on selling in 11 months and putting that money towards a new one)

Going for this one from Etsy (TopHome) + smartcover + BSE matte back skin for maximum thinness......

RossMC... did you wind up buying it? It's one of the ones I"m looking at... how's the fit? Do you have a smart cover and does it fit nicely with it?

I did, it will be here in a few days so I'll let you know, I do have a Smart Cover and there is an option when you buy to get the sleeve made to just fit the Air or to fit it with the Smart Cover on.

Thanks.. .and if you can take pictures it will be great!

I just sent an email with questions about this one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/166639871/ipad-air-leather-sleeve-the-hand (leather sleeve... with felt interior)(questions about whether it will fit with the smart cover... and what color options for the felt are available)

Just received it today, Love it! It fits with the Smart Cover well it's a snug fit but not hard to put in or pull out of the sleeve. The quality is great and there is a good amount of padding for protection.

Just ordered this iPad Air Sleeve from Etsy in Taupe color.

I'm a huge fan of the Waterfield Suede Jacket. I have them for my iPads, MacBook Air and had one for my iPhone. I LOVE how they don't add ANY bulk, but protect it in my bag.
