ZUGU CASE iPad Air Protective Magnetic Stand Case

This case exceeded our expectations! It is a very solid case without being overly bulky. doing a great job as a protective case. We are especially pleased with the stand – the magnetic back panel seriously can fully attach this case to a refrigerator front door (don’t know why you’d do that, but it will hold it solidly) and the stand easily adjusts to different slants, again, holding solidly and not collapsing. Fantastic! I highly recommend this case!

I love these iPad cases most of all. They’re so sturdy and well built, attractive, functional, and so simple to use.

The 1st case I ever bought is still strong today, 5+ years later.

The only thing missing here is a good screen protector. I had to find and buy one separately, as I want to take care of this costly iPad investment. (Right?! Sheesh!)

Perhaps the ZUGU iPad cases don’t come with screen protectors to keep their cost lower; it’s anyone’s guess.
Or someone’s, anyway….

If you’re looking for a case that will keep your iPad protected, and make it easy for you to keep it standing—whether horizontally or vertically—this case will be worth the extra cost.

Highly recommended.

I first found this case with my ginormous iPad several years ago. It served me faithfully and was the best cover, sturdy yet sleek, solid and functional. That iPad went belly up and was now “vintage” or whatever Apple calls unsupported stuff these days, so I switched to my iPad Air for my everyday. The old cover for it was fine, but not this fine. Worth every penny. Love the pen locks in for charging and I have the same stable support as my old one.

When I got my new iPad Air, there were so many case options to choose from that it was daunting. I wasn’t impressed by Apple’s offerings, and some of the other options I found were either too bulky or looked flimsy. I’d never heard of Zugu cases before, but based on their features, detailed product descriptions and consistently strong customer reviews, I decided to give one a try.

When I received the case, I was impressed with the quality and care put into the packaging. It sounds trivial, but from the enclosed thank you note and instruction card printed on thick, textured stock, to the molded foam insert and printed tissue wrapping, the unboxing experience was premium. Someone had thought out every detail and cared about first impressions.

The case fit my iPad Air perfectly and has stayed on it since I got it over a year ago, with little signs of wear. There’s a well-molded, magnetic receptacle at the side for the Apple Pencil, which not only holds it securely, but also charges it consistently and with ease. But the most impressive feature of the case is its magnetic, multi-position kick-stand. Not only does the stand provide a wide range of angles (eight of them), but the magnetic support also holds the case rock-solid—whether it’s balanced on lap, sofa or table. And if I want to attach my iPad to a metal surface, like a fridge or workstation wall, the case can do that, too, since the magnets are that strong.

If I were to mention one small, negative detail about the case, it would be the stretchy, fabric Apple Pencil holder stitched into the back cover. Having used it a few times, I didn’t get the impression it was too durable. It’s the one feature that just doesn’t feel as well-engineered as the rest of the case.

Overall, the Zugu iPad Air case is excellent. Although it’s priced higher than some competing options, you really do get what you pay for with this. Highly recommended!

 I have always been extremely happy with Zugu’s cases for my phones and tablets. They are of reliably high quality and show thoughtful design and excellent attention to detail. The fridge-mountability of this one was an appealing perk that I didn’t know I wanted until I saw it. The various angles for propping the iPad are well-thought-out and securely held in place. I love that this case didn’t have an extra 1cm pencil slot all up the side, like many cheap cases do, making those cases unnecessarily wide. Two things didn’t work for me: 1) the case opens like a book, except that you have to grab it by the top or botton edge to open the cover–not by the right-hand long edge, which is slightly inset and can’t be grasped. That’s a little unintuitive and non-book-like, but not a big deal and I would probably have adapted to it fairly quickly. 2) The soft grippers on the edge for a pencil, while great because they don’t widen the case if you don’t use a pencil, make the edge non-smooth, which wouldn’t feel comfortable for extended reading. For other people this concern might be entirely irrelevant. At this price, the case needed to be perfect for me, so I returned it, but I would not hesitate to try other products by this company.

This case is worth every cent. It was pricey but more practical than any other case I have had. I love that I can have my iPad at an angle on my lap and due to the magnets it stays perfectly in position. My hands are now free. It is very well made and fits my iPad perfectly and the pink goes very well with my rose gold iPad. I am very satisfied.

This is my 3rd Zugu case. I buy one each time I get a new iPad. They are worth every penny I paid for them. They have perfectly fit each iPad I had, the cover never tore and the edges of my iPad have been protected when I dropped it. The ease of using my iPad in any position and being able to have it stably propped up is nice. I also like the color choices. Not flashy, but a variety to meet most people’s esthetics.
