The integrated polycarbonate shell protects your iPad Air and iPad mini against bumps and drops while the protective fiber material covering the screen offers an extra layer of protection. SmartShell's slim profile adds minimal width, keeping your iPad thin and portable. The Smart Sleep Function wakes and sleeps your iPad when the cover is opened or closed, while the quad fold cover transforms into a build-in stand, allowing for multiple viewing and typing angles. Accent colors contrast inside from the outer fabric for a sleek and stylized look.
