It is a sensible pick for users who prioritize fit, a working auto sleep/wake function and a simple tri-fold stand.

Key Features

• Perfect Compatibility: Designed exclusively for iPad Air 1 9.7 in models A1474, A1475 and A1476, the case provides full access to buttons and ports without removal.
• Auto Sleep/Wake Function: The built-in magnetic lid supports automatic sleep and wake when opened and closed, conserving battery life with no extra steps.

Who It's For
