Protecting your iPad’s screen from scratches and smudges can be difficult in the absence of a good quality protective cover or case designed exclusively for your iPad. With endless options in different colors, styles, texture and patterns available in the market, picking up one that offers optimum protection without compromising on the aesthetics can be nothing less than digging the diamonds. So how do you decide which cases are the best and the worst for your device? Have a look at the different types of iPad covers that will make wonderful companion to your beloved device:

Shells: Shell style cases add a rear plate to the iPad. The speaker and microphone holes are all neatly cut out for ease of use. Shell cases are available in plastic, rubber as well as leather finish and can spoil you for choices when it comes to color options. The drawback to these cases is that they can cost you as much as the full play-through cases but offer you less protection than the latter.

Play-through cases: Play through cases work well with iPhones and can similarly be a great choice for iPads. The main feature of a play-through case is that it gives maximum coverage to the phone while giving full access to the screen and the controls. As compared to the shells, the play-through cases better coverage by wrapping around the sides and covering the bezel. Plastic is the most common material found in this type of case but rubber and harder materials like TPU are also getting popular.

Sleeves: Although sleeves do not come as handy as the other two types of cases, many iPad users believe that it makes a wonderful cover. These cases completely envelop the device and are closed using a flap or zipper. Every time you need to use the device, you need to remove the cover and release the device.

Flip style cases: If the sleeves envelope the device inside the protective material for slip-out use, flip style cases just need to be split open to use the device. They have striking similarities with the sleeves but are more expensive than the latter.

Bags and purses: This can be the broadest category of iPad covers in the bunch that includes everything from shoulder bags and purses to masculine purses. They are available in endless design, color and style options allowing you to buy according to your preference.
