5 Best iPad Air Cases with Pencil Holder

Apple iPad Air is the perfect combination of power, size, and affordability. It’s not small as an iPad Mini and carries the same CPU as the iPad Pro models. Apple recently packed the iPad Air 5th generation with the M1 CPU. No matter which iPad Air model you choose, your iPadOS experience is incomplete without Apple Pencil and a dedicated case to easily carry around your iPad everywhere you go. Here are the best iPad Air cases with a pencil holder.

Although your Apple Pencil magnetically attaches to the iPad, it’s not an ideal position to store the accessory. The pencil detaches itself from the iPad when you put the device in a backpack. Instead, you should purchase an iPad Air case with dedicated storage space for Apple Pencil. While Amazon offers hundreds of iPad Air cases, we have curated the five best options for your iPad.

1. iMieet

iMieet iPad Air case is available in 34 color options (yes, you read that right). It’s a standard iPad Air case with separate space to keep your Apple Pencil secure from accidental falls.

iMieet case is compatible with both the 4^th and 5^th generation iPad Air. Although the case is quite thick to give much-needed protection from hard falls, it doesn’t compromise magnetic capabilities. You can easily attach your Apple Pencil to the iPad and charge it. Also, you can store the Apple Pencil in the case after charging it.

iMieet carries precise cutouts for speakers, microphones, Touch ID, and the camera. Get a case cover that complements your iPad Air color, and start binge-watching your favorite TV shows and movies on it.

2. Fintie Hybrid Case for iPad Air

Unlike iPad Pro, iPad Air comes in fun colors to choose from. While the iMieet case will completely hide your iPad Air, Fintie’s transparent case style leaves room for some showoff.

What do you expect from a high-quality well-made iPad Air case? Lightweight, durable, different colors, dedicated pencil slot, and a stand mode to watch your favorite TV shows. Finties checks everything on the list without breaking your wallet. The company doesn’t limit you to dull colors either. You get your case in a different style. There is something for everyone. The only shortcoming is that the case may get the infamous yellow effect after extensive use.

3. SUPFIVES Case for iPad Air

The case also comes with a kickstand at the back to deliver much-needed comfort while streaming videos. SUPFIVES isn’t a looker, though. The case looks chunky and not something you should pull out in business meetings.

The case doesn’t offer any protection at the front as well. Make sure to invest in a high-quality tempered glass for your iPad Air.
