Title: Will iPad Air 2 or iPad Pro cases fit the new 9.7-inch iPad? Post by: HCK on March 30, 2017, 04:05:22 pm Will iPad Air 2 or iPad Pro cases fit the new 9.7-inch iPad?
Unfortunately, the new 9.7-inch iPad is thicker than either the Air 2 or the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. Though Apple's new entry-level 9.7-inch iPad may look very similar to its predecessor (the iPad Air 2) and high-end cousin (the 9.7-inch iPad Pro), it's hiding a little extra bulk behind that 9.7-inch frame. Height and width-wise, all three iPads are identical, but in a somewhat puzzling move, Apple's new entry-level iPad is a full 1.4 mm thicker. This unfortunately means that if you owned cases for either the iPad Air 2 or 9.7-inch iPad Pro, none of them will fit this new iPad. Interestingly enough, you're more likely to be able to fit the new iPad in an original iPad Air case — their dimensions are identical, though you'll likely run into problems with the rear camera cutout.
