Attempting to fit a new model iPad to an case designed for an earlier device is unwise. Fitted cases are precise-fit - while “generic” cases that are intended to accommodate many different models are often a compromise.


Cases with covers often contain tiny magnets - these being used to trigger certain actions, such as auto-locking the screen when the cover is closed. The sensor and corresponding magnet positions are often differ between iPad models.


If you are entertaining purchase of a new model iPad, first choose the iPad - and then the cover. Current model iPads will always have much greater choice of covers and styles than older models.
