iPad Cases and Covers

iPad cases and covers take the impact that a bare glass tablet cannot. Buyers here are replacing a cover that has gone slack at the fold, or protecting a tablet that travels every day in a bag with keys, chargers and a water bottle. The case decides how the tablet stands on a table, how it survives a drop from lap height, and whether the screen picks up scratches from whatever else is in the bag.

The range is built around WiWU. Two construction styles run through it. WiWU detachable magnetic cases split into a front cover and a back shell held together by magnets, so the tablet can come out of the folio and be carried bare when you want it lighter. WiWU rotative stand cases keep the tablet in a cradle that turns, so the same case props the screen upright or lays it flat without unclipping anything. Colours run across black, brown and blue, and the price spread reaches from entry level protection through to premium builds.

Three decisions settle most of it.

• First, size: an iPad case is cut for a specific screen size, and a shell made for a smaller tablet will not close over a larger one or line up with its camera cutout, so match the case to the model in your hand before anything else.
• Second, stand behaviour: a rotating cradle switches between portrait and landscape without removing the tablet, while a folding cover sets the viewing angle by where you crease it.
• Third, whether you want the back to detach, which matters if you read or draw with the tablet held flat and find a full folio bulky.

Which case suits your use

Students who type notes on a propped tablet through back to back lectures get more out of a stand case that holds a steady angle on a narrow desk. Anyone running video calls from a tablet wants the rotating cradle, because the camera swings from portrait to landscape with one turn. If the iPad mostly stays at home and goes out a few times a month, a detachable magnetic case gives you the cover when you travel and a slim back shell the rest of the time. Buyers who hand the tablet to children lean towards the fuller folio, since the raised edge keeps the screen off the floor.

Mega Computer stocks these cases at its Karachi showroom and ships them nationwide across Pakistan. Payment works by cash on delivery or online payment, so you can pay when the parcel reaches you if you would rather see the case first. Bring the tablet in if you are near the showroom and want to check the fit and the stand angles by hand before you buy.

One compatibility note worth acting on. Tablet cases are cut to a screen size rather than a marketing name, and Apple has sold several tablets at similar sizes with different camera housings and button positions. Check the size and generation printed on the back of your iPad, then match it against the size stated in the product title. A case that is one generation off will still close, but the camera will sit behind plastic and the speaker cutouts will land in the wrong place.
