ipad case for 2017 ipad

My Logitech Anyangle case for my IPad Air 2 Is the best IPad case I have ever owned. When I decided to buy a new 2017 IPad I first looked for a case. Logitech does not make an anyangle for the IPad 2017.

SO unless I can find a case first for an IPad 2017 I am moving to a Microsoft Surface that has a built in back support.

I found one a few weeks ago on Amazon. I had a Surface and would never touch another one. The back and the keyboard dovetail so no probem any more.

None are yet available. The device was just recently released and manufacturers are probably scrambling to make adjustments in their manufacturing process to provide cases to fit the new iPad. Currently Apply only has the smart cover which is basically worthless for protecting the device.

Hi

I am also hoping to get the 'new' 2017 9.7" iPad.

If you are looking for a better than good 'padded carry case' that closes with a zip or other closure you could try the excellent 'Thule' brand, as my Thule zipped case (used for iPad Mini 4, but 'designed' for earlier models of iPad Mini) is just about big enough even with Apple brand gel case & smart cover fitted (separate items unlike previous iPad Minis that use 'smart case').

Without the 'smart cover & gel back case' fitted it would fit even more easily.

It has VERY generous interior padding, and very soft lining material. It took me 8 months to find it though. It was also the only one I could find 'designed for' an iPad Mini 4 that was more than big enough for iPad Mini 1, 2, & 3.

Every single other one I found was far smaller (too small for my iPad Mini, even without the smart cover & back gel case fitted).

I suspect 'slip cases', 'smart covers' (front of iPad only) & (rear of ipad only) gel cases, are NOT going to fit models they are NOT designed to fit.

Though saying that, a 'poster' earlier today (or yesterday) claims his 'iPad Air' (NOT iPad Air 2) case DOES fit HIS 'new for 2017 iPad. Don't know any other details. A case of 'try before you buy', if you can.

I made the mistake of buying an iPad Mini 4, before I had found out it was 0.17" 'wider' (while looking at it in landscape view'), so iPad Mini 1,2, 3 screen protectors and model specific 'cases' do NOT fit, despite what ANYONE says about them being the 'same'. They are NOT.

I still do not have a screen protector a year later. My zipped case has a LOT of padding AND a 'special liner' that 'prevents scratches' for users without any other protection of 'smart covers', screen protector films, etc. I am also VERY careful with it. I ALWAYS use a 'soft tip stylus'.

The Apple branded items were expensive but far better quality & fit than other 'cheaper alternatives', but they ought to be for the price. I bought those the same day as the iPad Mini 4.

I am positive they (Thule) would or DO still have (zipped case) items for all 9.7" iPads including the 'new for 2017 iPad'.

Screen protectors from 'whoever', should also fit all RECENT (i.e. iPads AFTER iPad 4) 9.7" models -unless bezels ARE different sizes - unlike iPad Mini 4.

There are many brands of 'tempered glass' screen protectors, for 'regular' size '9.7 iPads'., so I don't imagine difficulty finding one for the 'new' 9.7" iPad.

I was checking the dimensions 2day for iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro (both '9.7' inch models) and they are supposedly EXACTLY the same (as your 'New for 2017 iPad') for external metal casing dimensions for width & length, & 'visible screen display' (of 9.7") - 240mm long x 170mm wide, and 285mm (diagonal at case edges). The bezels of their last iPad Air 2 & 9.7" iPad Pro look the same to me, so the 'new' one should be the same - according to 'sales staff' - but they could not prove it, as they had none in stock.

The only tiny differences I could see are 'thickness' of the different models (from front to back), which would not affect choice of 'zipped' or padded cases.

When I get my new iPad I will get a Thule zipped case, as well as either a 'Tech 21' brand screen protector, (and a Tech 21 gel back case as both are fitted to my iPhone 6Plus), or I will get an APPLE smart cover and APPLE gel back case, along with Tech 21 screen protector, if I can find them.

All these brands are VERY GOOD quality, but not cheap.

Hope that helps

HI, I had this problem also. It seems that just about all case manufactures got caught short when apple reverted to the earlier IPad Air thickness. Finite make one that fits but the cut outs for the volume up, down buttons are out of alignment and needed to be "adjusted".

cases on eBay. Any case that fits iPad air1. Found a Logitech Hinge case for $8.95(includes shipping). Fits PERFECTLY-I love it!! Case originally $59.99! Seller has more. Case has any angle viewing & supports cover sleep.

I ran into the same thing! I have only been able to find them on Amazon. They are labeled latest iPad version 2017, and there are only a few to choose from. I just ordered mine, but haven't received it yet to see if it fits. But I'm hopeful!

Amazon has cases and covers exclusively for the 2017 iPad 5 model and yes, most iPad Air 1 cases should work with a slight modification of where the volume side switches are.

The other issue is that one of the microphones on the new 2017 iPad 5 has moved from the camera top right to the top middle of the iPad 5, now.

So, THAT could be another issue with iPad Air 1 cases being used with the new 2017 iPad.

Hye, I am the new Ipad 2017 user myself. The best solution I can find is to buy an Ipad Air 1 case which has exact the same size but in order to fit the volume button and silent selective button, you must find the one without fix volume and silent selective button or else the gap between those will push down the increase volume button all the way. Plus I am using ipad air 1's tampered glass as well. It works!

I should also note, I've tried 2 cases to see if they'll work, but neither did. The latest iPad is thicker than the iPad Air 1 & 2, so it did not fit into those cases.
