If you buy this type of case you should remember that it is recommended to remove case at least once a month and clean dust under the cover. Because dust may cause mini scratches. I would recommend this case for smart cover lovers and for people who use iPad mostly in safe conditions, but not on the go. Because if you drop iPad to concrete with this case it would protect iPad much. Overall the product is great.
What's great about it: Slim, material, compatible with smart cover
iPad Air is 20 percent thinner1 and weighs just one pound, so it feels unbelievably light in your hand. It comes with a 9.7-inch Retina display, the A7 chip with M7 motion coprocessor, ultrafast wireless, powerful apps, and up to 10 hours of battery life.2 And over 475,000 apps in the App Store are just a tap away.3

I had Apple iPad 4 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition before this device.
Comparing to them this iPad Air is much better. I mostly use it for education (books). What is great about textbook reading that all heavy PDF textbooks iPad Air opens very fast. I can switch between pages, search text in book instantly. On ipad searching part of text in book works much better than on PC. Moreover iBooks automatically know the edges of text. And if you double tap on text text's width would fill edges of screen. Add to this 4:3 screen wich close to original books format and you will get perfect device to read heavy PDF files. It also works perfect with CHM books.
In addition you can download full Office apps for iPad Air for free from AppStore.
Games works perfect. Music sound perfect. It will not get as hot as Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition while playing. I remember that even during browsing Samsung was warm. Don't get me wrong, Samsung has it's own advantages. But for book reading it is not perfect device.
Overall I strongly recommend this device.
