Will the case make my iPad Air waterproof?
None of the cases we've discussed here will make it safe to dunk your iPad Air. What's more, you'll be hard-pressed to find a reputable waterproof iPad Air case on the market today, especially for 4th and 5th Gen tablets. It's also worth noting that Apple doesn't build in the same level of water resistance as many people might expect. While their later-model iPhones generally offer some water resistance, they make no such claim with their iPad Air. Long story short, your new tablet and water don't mix. "A waterproof case won't turn your iPad Air into a submarine, but it does offer a solid line of defense against accidental spills and sudden showers," explains Jamie Boudreaux of Golfer Geeks. "It's, for sure, a lifesaver on the course, where unpredictable weather is par for the course."Clapperton adds, "In a nutshell, while a case might not make your iPad Air waterproof, it does add a layer of protection that, honestly, is pretty crucial if you're intent on having your device stick around."
