How to Identify a Case for an iPad Air 11 (M2)

How to Identify a Case for an iPad Air 11 (M2)

This page covers cases that we support for keyguards to fit the 11" iPad Air 11-inch (M2).  Some people call this the iPad Air 6th Generation, but Apple does not.

If you have an iPad other than an Air 11-inch (M2), you're on the wrong page.

For an iPad Air 4/Air 5 10.9", look here.

For an iPad Pro 11 1st - 4th Gen., look here.

For the 11" iPad Pro 11-inch (M4), look here.

For any other iPad, look here.

When you order a keyguard for an iPad Air 11-inch, specify the name and number of the case you find here.  You must use the red number to correctly identify a case!  Cases are listed alphabetically, but you can also search the page by the name of an iPad case to find one that is sold under more than one brand name.

If you have an iPad Air 11-inch case that we don't have depicted here, specify "Other" case when ordering a keyguard and send us a link to the case you have.  We'll charge you a small fee to buy the case, measure it, design a keyguard to fit it, and make and test fit the keyguard.  After that, we'll add it to our list so you can order keyguards to fit it in the future.

    Careful here! Amazon has two different listings for this case, and they're different!  They look very similar, and from the front they look almost identical, but the difference is on the back.  The other one has the rotating hand strap/stand offset on the back toward one end.  This one has the stand exactly centered on the back.  Be sure yours has the centered stand, or the keyguard won't fit.
