Cases and accessories for the iPad Air 13″ (2024) — sized exactly for the LED Liquid Retina 13″ display. At RPD you'll find Smart Folio, folio cases, hard cases, sleeves and bags, screen protectors (including paper-feel for Pencil), Apple Pencil Pro and Pencil USB-C and tips, Magic Keyboard and sleeves, plus USB-C cables and hubs. Same-day dispatch from Basel for orders placed by 4 pm, free shipping above CHF 15, payment on invoice, 14-day return policy and 2-year warranty under Swiss law.
Smart Folio with auto-wake/sleep is the classic daily choice. Tri-Fold cases add a stand for typing and watching videos. Outdoor cases with reinforced corners and drop protection up to 2 m suit travel and rougher use. Look for a slightly raised display lip so the iPad never rests on the table surface.
Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil USB-C are supported. Note: Apple Pencil 2 is no longer supported on this model — a change vs. the 2018–2022 generations.
Tempered glass (9H, 2.5D edge) is the best protection against scratches and drops, with high transparency. Paper-feel films (e.g. ANANK PaperLike) are the right choice if you use Apple Pencil intensively for notes or drawing — writing feels like paper, with light resistance and no glass glide. Some users layer both.
The new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro M4 (2024) with aluminium palm rest and function row only fits this chassis. The older original Magic Keyboard (2020) is not mechanically compatible — the chassis dimensions differ.
In our German-speaking-Switzerland stores we advise you in person on protection, Apple Pencil and keyboard options for the iPad Air 13” (2024). For repairs we connect you with our service partners. 14-day returns on all products, 2 years Swiss warranty.
The iPad Air 13″ (2024) is the first ever 13-inch iPad Air — LED Liquid Retina 13″, M2 chip and USB-C. A good case protects the display and the aluminium back from scratches, drops and table edges, and preserves the resale value of your device.
Smart Folio are Apple's standard cases for the iPad Air range — light, magnetic, with automatic sleep/wake. Folio cases wrap front and back, often with a built-in stand. Hard cases and bumpers in TPU or polycarbonate are tougher and ideal on the go. A sleeve adds protection in a backpack. Cut-outs match the cameras and the USB-C port exactly.
Three options. PET or hydrogel film is the cheap pick — reliable scratch protection and easy to fit. Paper-feel film turns the display matte and is ideal for drawing or note-taking with the Pencil — it mimics paper and cuts reflections. Tempered glass is the most scratch-resistant option and protects best against drops, but costs more. On iPads with Pencil we recommend paper-feel or hydrogel — glass can slightly alter Pencil feel.
The iPad Air 13″ (2024) supports the Apple Pencil Pro with pressure sensitivity, squeeze, haptic feedback, barrel roll and Find My — the most advanced Pencil. The Pencil Pro charges wirelessly on the side of the iPad. The cheaper Apple Pencil USB-C also works — no pressure sensitivity, but USB-C charging. At RPD you'll find Pencil Pro tips, grips and cases to keep the stylus clean and prevent rolling. The older Pencil 2 is not compatible with this Air.
The iPad Air 13″ (2024) is compatible with the original Magic Keyboard — the same keyboard made for the iPad Pro 11″. It floats magnetically on the iPad, has a full trackpad and backlit keys. A cheaper alternative is Apple's Smart Keyboard Folio without trackpad or a Bluetooth keyboard in a folio case. Note: the new Magic Keyboard for iPad Air from the M2/M3 generation does not fit this model.
The iPad Air 13″ (2024) has a USB-C port. At RPD you'll find USB-C cables in different lengths, USB-C Power Delivery chargers, USB-C hubs with HDMI / USB-A / SD slot, USB-C to Lightning adapters and USB-C headphone adapters. To use the iPad with an external display or SD card you'll need a hub — we stock compact models from Anker, Satechi, Belkin and HyperDrive.
The iPad Air 13″ (2024) supports the Apple Pencil Pro (wireless side charging, squeeze, haptic, barrel roll, Find My) and the cheaper Apple Pencil USB-C. Pencil 1 and Pencil 2 are not compatible.
Yes, often it does because the dimensions are similar — Apple has confirmed this. Make sure the camera cut-outs line up and test the model before buying if possible.
The Apple display is hard but not scratch-proof against sand, grit or hardened steel. A protector adds reliable defence — hydrogel is the most invisible option, tempered glass the toughest. If you draw with the Pencil, choose paper-feel film — it mimics paper and cuts reflections.
Hard cases with reinforced corners and TPU bumpers offer the highest drop protection. Folio cases protect front and back at the same time. A sleeve adds protection in a backpack. Importantly, look for a slightly raised lip around the display and camera, so neither rests directly on the table.
The tablet has a USB-C port. A USB-C cable and a Power Delivery adapter of at least 20 W are enough for charging. For external displays, SD cards or USB-A devices a USB-C hub is useful. USB-C headphones plug in directly, while older 3.5mm headphones need a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter.
