For weeks, the TIGO 400088 case has been my constant companion for my new iPad Air 13 (M2) 2024. This review will delve into the details of my experience with this clear, protective case, highlighting both its strengths and shortcomings.

The TIGO 400088 boasts a number of features designed to protect and enhance the iPad experience. The transparent back showcases the sleek design of the tablet itself, a nice touch for those who appreciate the aesthetics of their device. The built-in pencil holder is a practical addition, keeping my Apple Pencil securely in place and preventing accidental loss. The tri-fold front cover provides two convenient viewing angles, perfect for watching videos or typing. The magnetic closure is secure, ensuring the case stays shut and protected. The soft microfiber lining adds an extra layer of protection against scratches. The case also claims to provide shock absorption – a key feature I put to the test.

In terms of protection, the TIGO 400088 has performed admirably. I’ve accidentally dropped my iPad a few times (nothing major, thankfully!), and the case has absorbed the impact without any damage to the tablet. The TPU frame feels sturdy and the back cover, while clear, adds a layer of rigidity. The auto sleep/wake functionality works flawlessly, extending the battery life of my iPad. However, while the case offers good protection, it adds a noticeable amount of bulk to the device. The added thickness isn’t overly excessive, but it’s something to consider.

Pros:

• Transparent design showing off the iPad
• Built-in Apple Pencil holder
• Good drop protection
• Tri-fold stand with multiple viewing angles
• Auto sleep/wake functionality
• Soft microfiber lining

Cons:

• Adds noticeable bulk to the iPad
• The clear back can attract fingerprints and smudges easily (requires frequent cleaning)

Overall, the TIGO 400088 iPad Pro 12.9 6th Gen / Air 13 (M2) 2024 Folio Case provides a good balance of protection and functionality. While it does add some bulk, the protection it offers, especially considering the transparent back, is worth it for me. The convenience of the integrated pencil holder and the multiple viewing angles of the stand make it a practical and stylish choice. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a protective case that doesn’t completely obscure the design of their iPad Air 13 (M2) or iPad Pro.
