The new iPad Air was released with minimal fanfare in March of this year. The iPad Air 3 is far from groundbreaking, but an all-new A12 Bionic processor and support for the first-gen Apple Pencil will make it a viable option for budget-conscious iPad users everywhere.
If you’ve already bought the tablet, you’re going to want a case to go with it, whether your priority is style or protection. Below, you’ll find six of the very best, complete with price and buying details for each.

The best iPad Air 3 cases you can buy
1. Torro Premium Leather Case: Best leather case for iPad Air 3
Price: £45 | Buy now from Amazon
Some might scoff at the idea of spending nearly £50 on an iPad case, and with good reason. However, if you have a bit of spare change to spend, consider this case from Torro. Formed from genuine premium Italian cowhide leather, it’ll look as good on the backseat of your Beamer as it will in a big business board meeting. It comes in three colours, too – the tan option is very fetching.
Key specs – Materials: Genuine leather, suede (interior); Colours available: Black, dark brown, tan
2. ESR Urban Premium Folio: Best folio case for iPad Air 3
Price: £14.50 | Buy now from Amazon
ESR’s Urban Premium Folio for iPad Air 3 is perfect for creative types, in terms of both its look and features. The wood-grain texture on the exterior is more suited to Hoxton than High Street Kensington, and it comes in imaginatively named colours such as “Twilight”, “Sky” and “Charcoal”. As you’d expect, it’ll hold an Apple Pencil, and will even fold into a kickstand so you can practice those sketches on the go.
Key specs – Materials: Polycarbonate, PU leather, microfibre lining; Colours available: Charcoal, Knight, Sky, Twilight
3. Tomtoc: Best sleeve for iPad Air 3
Price: £23 | Buy now from Amazon
Although originally designed for the 2018 11in iPad Pro, your 10.5in iPad Air 3 will still sit snugly within this sleeve case from Tomtoc. A handy detachable strap means you can either wear it as a shoulder bag or carry it normally, and a separate pocket at the front gives you ample space to store your Apple Pencil, phone or whatever other accessory you might have with you.
Key specs – Materials: Nylon; Colours available: Black, grey
