Although for some time now we have left you a selection with best accessories for iPad 2018Now that it has been on sale for a few months and we have more to choose from, we are going to expand a bit our recommendations regarding covers, the most important complement of all to keep our new tablet in good condition for as long as possible.
The iPad Air and iPad 2017 cases are valid for the iPad 2018
Let's start with a clarification for those who are not clear yet and that is that although, logically, many manufacturers advertise their covers referring to the iPad 2018, which is the latest model, in fact its measurements are the same as those of the iPad Air and iPad 2017. In fact, the measurements of the iPad Air 2 yes they are a little different, for Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), It also considers its covers compatible with this model.
The Apple Smart Cover
It is not that you need us to recommend it, surely, but we can not stop including it in this list: if we do not have a budget problem and we want a simple but quality cover, bet the Apple Smart Cover It is the safest bet, without a doubt, that is what the official one is for. It has a sleep function, can be folded and used as a support, is thin, has great finishes and is available in various colors (although it is true that the selection is not very exciting, except perhaps for the (Product) RED). The only thing to keep in mind is that it will cost us $45 and there are good options for half or even a third of the price.
Simple covers at the best price
Indeed, if we want to spend the bare minimum, on Amazon we can easily find a few interesting options for between 10 and 15 euros: our favorite is that of ESR, available in many colors, with automatic unlock, semi-transparent back (to make the iPad case look a little bit) and stand, but it's also worth taking a look at the MoKo, One iPad 2018 Cases Featured by Apple 5 × 1, very similar in its characteristics. In a similar vein, we can also consider that of JETech.
Sleeves with support for Apple Pencil
One of the great novelties of the iPad 2018 is that we can use the Apple Pencil with it too, and some of the latest models of covers have been adapted to accommodate it, in case you have bought it, with a very small price difference (they range between 15 and 20 euros): infiland y ztotop They place it inside and the gap is under the screen when we use the support cover, which is perhaps the preferable solution, while the vanctec has the grip on the outside.
Leather covers
The official leather case of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), not available for him iPad 2018, only for the iPad Pro 10.5, something that perhaps makes sense considering that one of the attractions of this tablet is the price and perhaps there are not many willing to invest too much in the case. In any case, if you are, it is possible to find some, such as that of stylish goods for 70 euros, although we recommend that you take advantage of the offer (while it lasts) to get the one of ztotop for only 37 euro, or even that of KAVAJ If you also want to take your Apple Pencil with you.
Keyboard cases
With or without Apple Pencil, thanks to iOS 11, the iPad 2018 can be a much more useful tablet to work with than we can think with the help of a keyboard and if we dare to give it a try, we can try cases like the one on OMOTON for only 30 euros (important, in any case, always pay attention to which includes the ñ, that many of the models on Amazon are imported). If we are clear that this accessory is important to us, in any case, it is worth considering spending the 90 euros it costs for Logitech.
Ultra-resistant covers
If we are going to subject our tablet to many dangers, it may be convenient for us to consider the option of getting an ultra-resistant tablet and here our first recommendation is always the covers of UAG, although it must be taken into account that it is relatively expensive (50 euros) and it is true that many will not really need this level of protection. If it is simply a matter of giving it extra shock resistance even at the cost of a somewhat less aesthetic design, to stay a little calmer, that of supcase It will cost us only 20 euros, and at ULAK, 15 euros.
Children's covers
If what worries us is more than anything that children do not load the iPad Before we have almost had time to use it, a resistant cover can be a good idea, since it can be useful on more occasions. However, if we are talking about younger children, it is important that the cover is also designed so that it is more comfortable for them to use. In this case, we refer you directly to take a look at our selection with best iPad cases for kids, where we leave you several recommendations, thinking about different ages and prices.
Reminder before finishing: beware of leaving it on perpetually
Although we are the first to recommend that you assess your needs and make a small extra investment so as not to leave your iPad unprotected, we remind you that it is not convenient to have it constantly on, in order to keep it in good health, since it makes the tablet gets hotter and that's not too good for the components. At least when we are loading Yes, it is advisable to remove it, if we can, and it is also advisable to do it if at any time we notice that it is slowing down.
