Review: Excellent Case that Looks Bigger in the Pictures Than It Really Is. - If you're going to be carrying your iPad everywhere and don't have a dedicated padded and lined carrying case, this rugged case is the solution for you. It tough but light; it completely encases the iPad's surfaces without bulk or weight; the screen is protected by a flip-on cover that also serves as the base when used in tilt-support desktop mode. COMMON QUESTIONS: No, no tools, adhesives, etc. are needed to install your iPad in this case. Yes, this is a 1-piece case (although the screen cover/base is removable if you have an Apple Keyboard). Yes, the installation is easy and takes under 1 minute. Yes, you can use your Apple Keyboard as a substitute for the case's screen cover. Yes, there is a place to store your Apple Pencil. No, there is no plastic or glass screen protector. Yes, the case's Apple Pencil holder works with some 3rd party stylus. Yes, all of the appropriate ports and buttons are accessible and easy to use with the case in place. No, the case does not have any removable rubber parts that cover the iPad's ports when not in use.
Review: Best case/cover I have come across for an IPad - I have only had this for about a month, but so far I really like it. I was searching for a cover for my IPad 2017 and came across this UAG cover. It is a little expensive, but made much better than the Apple covers that I have used in the past. The cover provides excellent protection and also makes for a very useful stand to place on a flat surface. It can be a little awkward at first to hold in the hands as other reviewers have said, but overtime I have learned how to adapt. The material has a good feel to it and has good grip. Overall, it looks nice, offers great protection, and functions very well as a self supporting stand. I have no regrets with this purchase. Time will tell how well it holds up. It is definitely the best iPad cover I have used. If for any reason you think you will be wanting to take it out of the case on a regular basis, I would look for another cover. The IPad fits rather snugly in this case and would not come out easily.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this compatible with an iPad Air 2?**
A: Hi there! No, this case is compatible with the iPad 2017 and the iPad Air (Not Air 2).

**Q: Is the back transparent?  I need to see a bar code we have on iPads through the case.**
A: No the back can’t be seen through to the iPad. It is soLid black.

**Q: Is the sleep cover removable?**
A: No, not removable.

**Q: Can i use the case uag ipad 9.7 (2018  6ta generation  the plyo feather-light rugger (ice) with the glass screen protector that myipad has on**
A: It depends on how thick your screen protector material is. Most glass screen overlays are very thin, so these typically do not interfere with the UGH. The only advice I can give you is to see other reviews, write the company directly or order the case and give it a try. One thing - K9 Rick is correct,; the case fit is, by necessity, very tight fitting. While I do not believe it will interfere with fitment, you need to be very slow and cautious when inserting your iPad into the case. You don't want to chip the edges of the screen protector or have the edge pry off against the case frame. Once safely installed, you should be OK.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect iPad case
*by A***6 on July 28, 2024*

This is a perfect iPad case. It provides great protection and the magnet strength for closure is strong. This is my 2nd one, it holds up very well. It is pricier than other brands but well worth the money.
