Joining the ongoing $100 price drops across the M2 iPad Air lineup, we also just spotted a rare deal on the official Apple Smart Folio for the 11-inch model. The Charcoal gray variant has now dropped to $69 shipped at Amazon, landing at nearly 15% below the regular $79 price tag. That might not seem like a huge deal or anything, but we are talking about an extremely rare price drop here.
Apple’s new M2 iPad Air released back in May alongside the new M4 iPad Pro models. At that time Apple issued four new colorways of its staple Smart Folio cover for the M2 tablets – the 11-inch model carries a regular price at $79 and the 13-inch at $99. Price drops on these cases have been very hard to come by as today’s is only the second time we have seen them dip below the MSRP, landing on par with the very best price we have tracked on Amazon.
There are certainly more affordable third-party cases out there, but some love their first-party gear and now’s your shot to save some cash. This is the latest “thin and light” Apple Folio for the 11-inch M2 Air that automatically wakes your machine when opened and puts it to sleep when you close it. It attaches magnetically to your tablet and supports various viewing angles for watching video and making calls too.
For something similar but far less pricey, scope out the ESR magnetic folio-style case for the latest iPad Air models – they start at just $17 Prime shipped.
