Best cases for iPad (A16, 2025) in 2025

Apple's 11th generation iPad refresh gets the new A16 chipset -- same as the one on the iPhone 16 -- while retaining the same design as last year's iPad. This makes it the most powerful entry-level iPad to date and puts it on the list of the best iPads you can buy. With an aluminum chassis available in multiple colors, a large 10.9-inch display, and a feature-rich UI thanks to iPadOS 18, the 2025 iPad is a strong contender for a solid tablet that students and working professionals can use for both work and entertainment needs. If you've made up your mind on buying one as well, ensure you protect it with a case.
