This classically-styled iPad Folio from designer Jack Spade is truly a case (no pun intended) of simple design at its finest. With the onslaught of designer iPad cases in the past year, it’s difficult to wade through the options without getting a headache. For iPad lovers who enjoy simple design and want neither a futuristic design nor a rustic, handcrafted look, the Jack Spade case is a perfect aesthetic fit. Constructed from premium nylons, the durable folio will protect your iPad from evil in three viewing positions and has two pockets for papers. Perhaps most importantly, the Jack Spade Folio ($69.95) features a port for docking your iPad without having to remove the cover, so your gadget will never have to go without protection.

The iPad mini is arguably the most polarizing product in Apple’s portfolio. There’s a segment of die-hard fans that would pick it over any other device in its class, and then there’s another group that can’t quite figure out what exactly it can deliver in terms of meaningful utility.

You’ll have to wait a while longer for a new base model iPad
The iPad (2022) in its yellow color.

Apple has had a busy year on the iPad front. Just last week, the company announced the iPad mini (2024). In the spring, it launched next-generation versions of the iPad Air (2024) and iPad Pro (2024). The entry-level iPad is the only model that hasn’t been refreshed this year — and it probably won’t be.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple won’t announce a new regular-sized iPad until 2025. As such, we’ll probably see the 11th-generation iPad arrive in the first half of the year alongside the long-rumored iPhone SE 4 and next-generation iPad Air versions.
