Rumors say a new 12.9-inch iPad Air will come out soon. And ESR is banking on it early with the release of its new range of cases for the expected tablet — the first time Apple would offer that size outside of its iPad Pro lineup.

New ESR iPad Air cases gamble on 12.9-inch iPad Air release
Everyone seems to expect Apple to put out a 12.9-inch iPad Air soon. It will mark a first for the iPhone giant, if it puts out its lower-cost tablet in a larger size previously reserved for its iPad Pro lineup. Currently, iPad Air (5th generation) comes only in the 10.9-inch size.
Perhaps Apple confirmed the upcoming release with accessories makers. That would explain why ESR decided to be first out of the gate, even before the tablet comes out, to maximize initial case sales upon release of the new iPad.
However, there’s no certainty ESR’s new cases for a 12.9-inch iPad Air will fit what Apple releases, as the release is not confirmed.
New ESR cases
On Amazon, ESR promotes a range of three new cases for a 12.9-inch iPad Air with the slogan, “Transform and Do It All.” Of the three cases below, only one is available for purchase on Amazon so far: Rebound Hybrid Case 360. All three are listed on ESR’s website, but currently say “out of stock.” Presumably, they will be available soon.
- Shift Magnetic Case is able to mount the iPad Air high off a desk and features an Apple Pencil holder. Comes in black, brown, blue, purple and red colors. $55 at ESR.
- Rebound Magnetic Case comes with a cover and snaps magnetically to a stand. Comes in white, black, blue, lavender or pink colors. $27 at ESR.
- Rebound Hybrid Case 360 features a shock-resistant clear back. It lets you mount Pad Air in landscape or portrait orientation. Comes in black, gray, white, blue lavender or pink colors. $33.99 on Amazon or at ESR.
