iPad Air 13" (2024/2025) Cases

Tablet Cases — wholesale buying guide (iPad Air 13 to iPad Pro 13)

Tablet cases are bought on generation accuracy first and looks second — a near-miss on fit cannot be saved by a good design. The stand is the feature that gets used every day, so hinge life rather than the fabric or the colour is what drives repeat orders. Tablet colourways run in longer cycles than phone cases, so a colour commitment is a bigger decision and a proof matters more. 18 colours share one iPad Air 13 mould, so colour mixing adds no tooling cost.

Tablet buyers replace devices far less often than phone buyers, so a single wrong generation is a dead SKU rather than a slow one.

Specs and checks that matter

• Pencil: Where the generation supports Pencil charging, the shell leaves clearance for it
• Magnet: Auto wake/sleep depends on a magnet tested against the exact generation
• Generation fit: Tablet dimensions change between generations — a shell moulded for one will not seat the next
• Hinge: The stand hinge is the highest-wear part; cycle life matters more than the cover finish
• Freight: Flat-packing and correct nesting move landed cost more than a small unit-price difference does

Buyer questions

What colours do you run?

The core colour line plus seasonal additions; send the swatch you need and we confirm what is tooled.

Is there auto wake/sleep?

Yes, the front cover carries the magnet the tablet reads, tested on the generation it is built for.

How is freight cost controlled on tablets?

Cases are flat-packed and nested, which cuts landed cost far more than a small unit-price difference does.

Is there Pencil clearance?

Yes, on generations that support it; the clearance is confirmed generation by generation.
