The iPad Air, covering keyboard covers, cases, and screen protectors.
Announced last month, the Logitech Big Bang is a rugged case for the iPad Air and iPad mini. It comes in three colours, Super Fluro, Magma Red, and Forged Graphite. The Air retails for S$139 and the mini for S$119.
I think the Moshi VersaKeyboard for iPad Air is a clever invention. It retails for S$139 in a single colour, Graphite Black, with a polycarbonate back shell, built around the Moshi VersaCover Origami Case I reviewed earlier.
The Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad Air retails for S$139 on the Apple Online Store, in Black or White. Despite its smaller size, it keeps full-size keys for comfortable, easy typing, and includes a built-in stand.
The Moshi VersaCover Origami Case for iPad Air launched in December 2013 for S$89, in four colours, Denim Blue, Velvet Grey, Sakura Pink, and Aloe Green. At about 150g, it's 10g heavier than Apple's iPad Air Smart Case.
I bought the Spigen SGP Ultra Crystal Screen Protector for iPad Air from MobyShop for S$36. Spigen's Steinheil line offers two options, the clear Ultra Crystal and matte Ultra Optics. I wouldn't recommend the matte, as it dulls the screen.
The Apple iPad Air Smart Case retails in Singapore for S$118 in six colours, Brown, Beige, Black, Yellow, Blue, and Red, all in aniline-dyed leather. Using a silver iPad Air, I chose Brown, which, like Red, pairs nicely with silver.
Both my iPads were showing their age, lagging at everything, so it was time to upgrade. I considered the iPad Mini Retina but chose the iPad Air for its bigger screen, easier for Li Xiang's sketching.
