For weeks, the FA ZFC073 pink case has been my constant companion for my iPad Air 5 (2022). This review dives into the details of this case, exploring its design, functionality, and overall user experience. I’ve put it through its paces, from daily commutes to accidental drops (yes, it happened!), to give you a comprehensive look at what it offers.

The FA ZFC073 promises a lot: durability, a sleek design, Touch ID support, auto wake/sleep, and a built-in Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) holder. Let’s see how it delivers.

The TPU material feels surprisingly robust for its slim profile. It adds minimal bulk to the iPad, which is a huge plus for portability. The pink color is vibrant and stylish without being overly flashy. The tri-fold stand is a clever addition, providing multiple viewing angles for watching videos or working. The Pencil holder is magnetic and secure, preventing accidental loss. Importantly, the Touch ID functionality and auto wake/sleep features worked flawlessly throughout my testing.

In terms of daily usage, the case has been faultless. The cutouts are precisely aligned, providing effortless access to all ports and buttons. The case protected my iPad from minor scratches and bumps, and even survived a surprising drop onto a hardwood floor without any damage to the iPad itself. The stand is stable enough for extended use, though I wouldn’t recommend using it on an uneven surface.

Wireless charging for the Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) functioned perfectly, with no noticeable interference from the case. The overall tactile feel is pleasant and provides sufficient grip.

However, one minor issue emerged during prolonged use. After several weeks of daily use, I noticed a slightly loose feel around the volume buttons. This wasn’t a major problem, but it’s something to be aware of.

Pros:

• Durable and slim TPU material.
• Stylish design and vibrant color.
• Perfect fit for iPad Air 5 (2022) and iPad Air 4 (2020).
• Functional tri-fold stand.
• Secure Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) holder.
• Supports Touch ID and auto wake/sleep.
• Excellent protection against minor impacts.
• Precise cutouts for easy access to ports and buttons.

Cons:

• Minor looseness around volume buttons after extended use.
• Not compatible with other tablet models.

Overall, the FA ZFC073 case for the iPad Air 5 (2022) and iPad Air 4 (2020) is a solid and stylish option. Its durable build, thoughtful design features (like the pencil holder and stand), and reliable performance make it a great choice for protecting your investment. While the minor looseness around the volume buttons is a slight drawback, it doesn’t significantly detract from the overall positive experience. I would happily recommend this case to anyone looking for a protective and functional case for their iPad Air.
