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 is not supported. As an alternative, third-party passive styli and Bluetooth styli work without pairing — ideal for note-taking or simple sketches.
Tempered glass with 9H hardness and 2.5D edge is the best protection from scratches and drops, with high clarity. We recommend anti-glare films for sunny outdoor use. Installation is easy with the included alignment kit — bubble-free application with proper prep.
Apple does not offer an official Magic Keyboard for this model. Third-party Bluetooth keyboards (with or without stand) are the alternative — they pair via Bluetooth and work on any iPad.
In our German-speaking-Switzerland stores we advise you in person on protection, Apple Pencil and keyboard options for the iPad Air 1. For repairs we connect you with our service partners. 14-day returns on all products, 2 years Swiss warranty.

The range stretches from Smart Folio with auto-wake/sleep, through slim hardcase and Tri-Fold models with 360° protection, rugged outdoor cases (drop protection up to 2 m, premium models up to 5 m), and sleeves in faux leather or felt for the bag. Tri-Fold cases from our RPD own brand and Dux Ducis (Domo, Magi, Unid) offer the classic stand mode for typing and video. Magnetic snap cases with auto-wake function are the most popular daily choice.
Tempered glass selection: classic tempered glass with 9H hardness and 2.5D edge, 3D-curved for full edge coverage, and hydrogel films with self-healing for micro scratches. Anti-glare films reduce reflections in bright ambient light. Every protector ships with an oleophobic coating against fingerprints and bubble-free application.
Apple Pencil is not supported on this model — third-party passive styli or Bluetooth styli are alternatives. There is no official Magic Keyboard for this model — third-party Bluetooth keyboards are available. At RPD you also find matching Pencil tips, protective sleeves and anti-loss tethers — plus sleeve-style protection and cleaning kits for the Magic Keyboard.
The iPad Air 1 uses Lightning for charging and data transfer. Lightning-to-USB-C and Lightning-to-USB-A cables are in our cable and charger range. Power banks with USB-PD or USB-A output support mobility — a 20 W adapter handles daily use, 30–40 W noticeably speeds up charging on larger iPads.
For cases we carry designs from Dux Ducis (Domo, Magi, Unid, Naad), our own brand RPD (Tri-Fold Smart Case in several colours), HEX-S FE Rugged for outdoor protection, and sleeves from iCarer. Our tempered glass selection is curated for this device. Sustainable options: cases from recycled plastic or bio-based TPU are available.
