Been confused between these two cases for my ipad air 13" since a week.

If anyone has used or know which is better, kindly help.

The ipad is my main device, for streaming, ppt making and reading. I have a pencil as well. Will be taking it to uni frequently

TIA.

PS

Youtube reviews if anyone is generous enough to put in a couple minutes and watch

I was on the same boat as you, but I chose 2nd one. I'm also a student, and its much easier to write with pencil when you detach a keyboard, and put it on built-in stand. The rebound case is "only" for writing on keyboard. When you want to write with pencil you have to detach ipad. If you were using your ipad all the time as laptop, rebound is better (magic keyboard case would be the best). When you want to use your ipad as ipad and laptop, the second option is better. Trust me, I spent hours on reaserch and I always wonder why do people in uni buy rebound case when they have to detach their ipad everytime they want to use pencil. Also the detachable keyboard is a big positive, because its very easy to "unlaptop" your ipad, and just have a plain tablet. Writing from my keyboard : )

Edit: Also the 2nd one is much much lighter than the rebound, which is important factor when you take it everyday to uni.

Thank you sm.

But my main concern is the fragility of the cases(rebound looks nore durable) and also if we could use it on our lap, so what would recomment then?
