IPAD Air Case - lightweight and protective?

<p>And not too expensive?
I am now in possession of a new IPAD Air…
But I need a case for it. I don’t just want a shell casing, but a “portfolio” one, that let’s you use it in multiple positions. I don’t want it too heavy, and I want it to do a pretty good job of holding it in if I drop it or put it at an odd angle. I’d like it to have some slots for a sheet of paper or business cards, but that’s somewhat optional.
I’m hoping Not to spend more than about $50, and the most I will spend is about $100.
I like the Dodo concept, but they don’t seem protective enough for me. (I’ve dropped my old iPad multiple times).
Thanks</p>

<p>I had to get another case for my iPad after my
pup chewed it a bit.
It was an STM thin and I liked it a lot except for the nylon had started to fray( but dabbing on some clear nail Polish stopped it)</p>

<p>I bought another one that was quite similar from Switcheasy, but on a Amazon, & because it was an unpopular color ( cognac), it was only $10!
But very secure and lightweight, & I would have bought that color anyway.</p>

<p>They are both portfolio cases, but the same lines may have some with card slots.</p>

<p>I bought this when the AirPad came out. It was a special at 5 dollars, but it is well worth its current price:</p>

<p>PS I hope yours has a non crashing Safari and the advertised battery life.</p>

<p>I like Levenger’s cases.</p>

<p>My fav is that I have the Logitech keypad, which attaches by magnets. Once I had that, I didn’t need the portfolio case. For protection, as I carry ipad in briefcase, I got a $10 IHome case which is quite thick.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone. I’ve read some of the articles already, so I was looking for some personal experience.</p>
