Accessories for iPad Air 11" — 2024-2026 generations

iPad Air 11" in its 6th, 7th and 8th generations (2024-2026) has identical dimensions — 247.6 x 178.5 x 6.1 mm. This means cases and accessories are fully interchangeable between them. The tablet has USB-C and supports Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard.

Cases and covers

Smart Folio and smart case — slim cases with a magnetic cover. The cover automatically puts the screen to sleep and wakes it, and when folded it forms a stand at two angles (for typing and for viewing). Keyboard cases — models with a built-in Bluetooth keyboard and touchpad turn the Air into a work tool. Rugged cases — cases with reinforced corners and a raised lip around the screen, e.g. from Spigen, Nillkin or ESR.

Glass and screen protectors

9H tempered glass is the basic protection against scratches. Matte (paperlike) films give the screen a paper texture and improve control when drawing with Apple Pencil — recommended for graphic designers and anyone who takes handwritten notes. Privacy films limit the visibility of the screen from an angle.

Compatibility with iPad Pro 11"

iPad Air 11" and iPad Pro 11" (2024) have similar dimensions, but differ in thickness (Air: 6.1 mm, Pro: 5.3 mm). Some cases made of flexible materials fit both models, but hard cases may not close properly. It is safer to choose accessories labelled specifically as "iPad Air 11".

If you are looking for accessories for the larger variant, see iPad Air 13". For older Air 10.9" models, go to the category iPad Air 5th gen. or iPad Air 4th gen.
