Does iPad air smart case fit iPad Air 2?

I bought the iPad Air smartcase for my new iPad Air 2. It fits fine, but since the Air 2 no longer has a mute switch on the side and the volume buttons are a different size now, one of the volume buttons is exposed via the mute switch hole. Not really a big deal.

The bigger problem is the rear camera is slightly offset from the first iPad Air, so the new lens is now slightly obscured.

I only bought this case to offer some slight protection until the case I really want (Belkin Ultimate Keyboard Pro) becomes available which won't be until the day AFTER Christmas. (?!?)

The iPad Air Smartcase will most likely not work with the iPad Air 2 as the Air 2 is thinner than the original iPad Air. So, if you placed the iPad Air 2 in the original iPad Air Smartcase it would not fit snugly and could fallout of the case. Also, even if the iPad Air 2 fit in the Smartcase the front flap that serves as a magnetic sleep/wake function would not touch the screen of the iPad Air 2 as it is thinner than the original iPad Air. I would not recommend trying. I hope this helps:)

It looks like the case for the iPad Air doesn't put the iPad Air 2 to sleep when the cover is closed. This is presumably because the Air 2 is thinner. Also the hole for the charger is not quite in the right position so it's difficult to plug in.

Mine goes to sleep just fine.

No it doesn't fit correctly. The IPad Air 2 case by Apple was and is designed for the original IPad Air. The IPad Air 2 is thinner so the case sticks up all around the sides. I don't know why Apple didn't make a case specifically for Ipad Air 2.
