FAQs

What generation iPads is this case compatible with?

This OtterBox Folio Series Case is specifically designed for the Apple iPad Air (4th generation) and Apple iPad Air (5th generation).

Does the case come with a screen protector?

No, this case does not include a built-in screen protector. For full 360-degree protection, it is recommended to pair it with a separate OtterBox screen protector.

How do I clean the grey folio case?

Clean the case with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For the clear back, use a microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints.

Can I charge my Apple Pencil while it's stored in the case?

This case offers discreet storage for the Apple Pencil, but it does not support charging the Apple Pencil while it is in the holder. You will need to remove the pencil to charge it.

How many stand angles are available?

The versatile folio seamlessly converts to multiple stand angles, offering flexibility for both comfortable typing and hands-free viewing.

What does 'military-grade drop-tested' mean?

It means the case has been tested to meet or exceed military standards (MIL-STD-810G 516.6), indicating it can withstand drops from a specified height.

Is the clear back panel durable?

The clear back panel is designed to showcase your iPad's design while offering protection. Like most clear surfaces, it can be prone to fingerprints and minor scratches over time with regular use. Regular cleaning with a microfiber cloth is recommended.

Troubleshooting

iPad screen does not wake/sleep when opening/closing the folio

Ensure the folio is correctly aligned with the iPad. Check for any obstructions near the magnetic areas on the case and iPad. Clean the magnetic strips with a dry cloth. Restart your iPad.

Case does not fit the iPad properly

Verify that you have the correct iPad model (Air 4th or 5th gen). Ensure the iPad is fully seated within the case, pressing gently around the edges. The case is designed for a snug fit.

Stand angles feel unstable

Ensure the iPad is placed on a flat, stable surface. The non-skid rubber feet help maintain stability. Adjust the folding of the folio to engage the intended stand positions securely.

Apple Pencil does not fit or stay securely in storage

Confirm you are using an Apple Pencil compatible with the iPad Air (4th/5th gen). Ensure the Pencil is inserted correctly into the designated slot. If loose, check for debris or damage to the slot.
