The land of choice
Hello everybody,

First of all, excuse the grammar, english is not my first language.
So ...

After buying my iPad Air 2 and after searching for approximately three days online and offline stores, watching and reading every reviews I could watch and read about iPad Air 2 cases, I decided to buy this case.

Actually, I wanted to buy the Atmos Case, but fortunately, I haven't found one in stock (online or offline) in the country where I live.

Now, let's return to the case I bought.
The design seemed perfect for me. Every line, colours, materials and everything regarding this case.
I ordered the case, by paying 50$ for the product, and waited patiently for the people from the store to call me, to pick the case up.

Let's fast forward a little bit.
I'm home, with the case, and what do you know ... The case is not made for the iPad Air 2! Actually, it's made for the both versions, but, as you already know, there is a "slight" difference between the dimensions of the two iPad's!

Off course, nobody tells you that. It's not written anywhere.
If you look on Thule's website, there are two versions with two different product numbers. One for the original Air, second, for the second version.

The trick is that, the first version of the case fit's only the original Air, the second version, both of the iPad's, but, as I said before, it's not written.

I bought the correct version, as I thought, but guess what? It doesn't fit the iPad as it should, because, obviously, it's not made for the iPad Air 2!

Good job Thule!


I don't want you to get me wrong. The main issue is not the 50$, but the fact that I feel scammed.
The purpose of this topic is to watch very closely at what you buy, because you can get a very big surprise, like I did.
I would've expected this to happen from a 5$ case from e-bay, or a 10$ folio, but not from a product made by a well known company that promises quality.
