Questions & Answers

Is there an iPad Air 2020 model that can rotate between portrait and horizontal modes?

A Zugu isn't one of them. br>Finite or Moko are two possibilities.

Is the pencil securely held in the charging position at the spine, and does it charge properly?

The pencil holder on the spine is excellent for both charging and securely holding the pencil. However, if I'm traveling with my pencil, I don't keep it there. There's a chance it'll pop off if it's bumped just right on the pencil's end. On the back of the pencil is an elastic sleeve that keeps it in place. I've never had a problem with the pencil moving around in the sleeve. When the Apple Pencil 2 is properly positioned in the pencil holder on the spine, it charges without issue.

Is it possible to fold the case flat while maintaining screen access? Mounting will be required on occasion; however, some cases will make this difficult. ?

This case does, in fact, fold flat. The top cover is made of a very thin material. It's also worth noting that it's magnetic, so it can be hung on a metal surface. The Zugu cases are the only ones I use. I have a regular iPad, a new iPad Air, an iPad Mini, as well as my husband's iPad and Mini, all of which are all protected by the Zugu case. I'd get one if it was available for my iPhone. Excellent defense!

When in handheld reading mode, how well does the flap adhere to the backside of the case? This is a flaw in the less expensive cases. ?

It works flawlessly in this case, as well as in others.

Solid
5/5

It was well worth the small investment. Maybe you're like me in that way. br>br>You've just spent countless hours looking for a "Non-Non-Non-Non-Non-Non-Non-Non-Non-Non-N iPad Air 4th generation case "Folio" br>br>And you've discovered that there aren't many non-profit organizations in your area. Although folio cases for this iPad exist, the ones that do don't have the build quality or protection that you'd expect. br>br>Now you're back to thinking about folios because your hardware, no matter what, needs to be protected. br>br>At this point, you can stop looking. If you're going to use a folio case on your brand-new iPad Air, the Zugu is the one to get. Why is that? br>br> br>br>Well, no other folio case comes close in EVERY way, from protection to viewing options to build quality. The ZUGU is as good as it gets. br>br>My main issue with most folio cases is that they have a hard time standing up when propped up. They are prone to collapsing all too frequently. As a result, the item you purchased for protection turns out to be a risk to a valuable tool. The ZUGU, however, is not one of them. The magnets are well-designed and perform as expected. The ipad is securely held in place. And I defy you to find another folio with as many landscape viewing positions as this one. Yes, it works on a refrigerator with the right surface, but that isn't my situation. br>br>Touch ID is a real winner! It's not an issue. One of the first things I did was put it through its paces. The case is being charged with a pencil. We've pretty much completed the task at hand. br>br>I could go on, but I'm glad I did my research and discovered ZUGU (for the tenth time). 9 iPad Air (4th Gen. ). Hopefully, this review has assisted you in determining what you require.

Flaws in the design I simply looked up the highest-rated case on Amazon and purchased it, despite the fact that it cost roughly three times as much as the others 4
3/5

Alternatives with a score of 5 Because the iPad and pen are so expensive, and the cover has such a significant impact on the user experience, I decided that I wouldn't mind paying a little extra to get the best product possible. br>The case is of excellent quality. However, it has two major design flaws, which is why I am surprised it has such high review scores.
1. The screen cover also functions as a stand, but it flips over so that the side that comes into contact with the screen is flat against the table. As a result, all of the dirt on the table will eventually end up on your screen. There are a plethora of alternatives available that do not have this flaw. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br The screen cannot be rotated in a 90-degree angle because the stand does not allow it. This option is made possible by a number of Amazon models.

Only 24 hours after delivery, the screen cracked
3/5

This product is complete garbage trash delivery, it hasn't even been 24 hours since I got it and my iPad cracked from a fall from my chair, I'm so pissed I just got a new iPad for $800 I can't believe I paid $70 for this isbr>PoS what a scam I love how they say explosionproof I'm sure this is falls advertising and a class action law suit is needed 1 million sold this isbr> This product is not going to save your iPad, and it isn't going to protect it! There are other, much better, and less expensive options.

Zuga comprehends the situation
5/5

I used to make my kids clean the kitchen counter when they were younger. They'd wipe the towel across the table once and call it a day. The countertop, on the other hand, remained filthy. This is something that a lot of iPad case designers do. They believe that anything that appears to cover the iPad in ideal conditions will suffice. br>br>My Zugu "The Alpha Case" is the first case I've owned that appears to be designed to do what a case is supposed to do—protect my phone in real-world situations. Hazards and conditions of life. Zugu achieves with magnets what every other company should have offered us by now, and it's the only case that truly gets it when it comes to the stand. The stand is held in place at eight different angles thanks to the magnets. It doesn't just stay in place theoretically, but it stays in place in practice. And the lid isn't meant to be flopped over and hoped to cover the screen completely. The lid is held in place by Zugu magnets, and the case's outer rim encloses the lid around the cover's sides. There are a lot of other great features on this case. But these are my favorites; in short, Zugu knows what he's talking about!.

CASE FOR IPAD IN PERFECT CONDITION
5/5

This ZUGU ALPHA IPAD CASE is perfect for my new 4th generation IPad Air; it's not too bulky to hold in my hands, but not so thin that it won't protect my iPad if I drop it. The versatility of this well-made case is truly remarkable, as it is both light and protective. I've owned a lot of iPads over the years, and I have to say that this ZUGU ALPHA CASE is my new favorite; the magnet stand is excellent, and the screen angels are fantastic thanks to the deep grooves that allow the stand to self-seed. The magnetized case can be hung on the refrigerator to make it easier to follow recipes or scroll through my photo album. The cutouts are precise enough that the functions on the side of my iPad are easily accessible and their functionality is unaffected. It's nice not to have to press a button repeatedly to get the machine to work due to inconsistent cutouts on less expensive cases. br>This case receives a 5 STAR rating from me - Although not the cheapest case on the market, it is unquestionably the best in terms of quality and innovation, as well as meticulous attention to detail. I'm confident that this one will provide excellent protection for my new iPad Air 4th generation. Kudos for your ingenuity!.

Without a doubt, a perfect score of ten out of ten
5/5

Wow! I finally found a good case for my iPad after years of having them with cases! I can't say enough about how good this one is. The pencil is perfectly positioned to charge, but is far enough inset to avoid being knocked off by accident. Also, in the majority of cases, it appears that you must struggle to get the pencil out without putting pressure on the tip, which I doubt is good for it. It's simple to get rid of this one by grasping the pencil's middle. The magnets are strong, the case is simple to open and close, and when used as a stand, it stays put. The majority of the rest lack deep enough grooves to keep the stand in place. This case has extraordinary corners. They offer a lot of protection without adding a lot of bulk to the overall size, and I give them a ten out of ten. Thank you so much for putting out such a fantastic product!!.
