With the new iPad and iPad Pro models comes a new wave of anxieties around scratching or breaking them. A case is a must-buy, and we have picked the best options to keep your new tablet protected.

But these aren't the only two tablets that Apple makes, of course! There is the iPad mini — a great small slab that packs stellar performance in a tiny package. And then, there's the M1 iPad Air. Its specs may be very similar to the new iPad, but it packs second-generation Apple Pencil support and a stellar M1 chip.

We've scoured the internet and picked cases for all of them based on three things: aesthetics, durability, and value for money. After all, we don’t want to recommend some over-the-top monstrosity that makes your iPad virtually unusable.

Picking up an iPad? Here are the best deals.

For the iPad Air, you can get a Magic Keyboard case with the trackpad, but for peak portability and value for money, we much prefer the Smart Keyboard Folio. Move around iPadOS with your fingers and type out your essays as you go.

Logitech Combo Touch

As for that full keyboard/trackpad experience, we recommend you look towards Logitech's Combo Touch, which offers all of this at a far more reasonable price than Apple's pricey option.

Spigen Rugged Armor

Another rugged case that doesn't ignore the need for a slick design. Spigen's Rugged Armor provides plenty of drop protection and keeps the iPad mini's screen scratch free when placed face down, thanks to the raised lip.
