The Lowdown

The Tomtoc Padfolio Case has a nice pocket to hold the iPad in the back, and I can put it in there either with no case or with a case, thanks to the velvety soft fabric on the divider in the middle.

Overall
4.5

Pros

  • Just about the perfect size for carrying the iPad and a handful of things with you while on the go

Cons

  • The color selection is decent, but I would love to see some brighter colors to choose from

For Christmas, I bought myself the new iPad Air 4 to replace my aging 2017 iPad. With its new form factor, I needed some new accessories, including something to carry it in. I searched on YouTube, and I’ve found my favorite one so far — the Tomtoc Padfolio Case.

I have a slim case that my iPad Air 4 lives in, but if I want to take it and a handful of accessories with me without this case, the only option I had was to throw it in my laptop bag. But that solution is not great as the bag is a bit large to carry the iPad and a handful of other items. the Tomtoc Padfolio Case solves my problem

The Tomtoc Padfolio Case has a nice pocket to hold the iPad in the back, and I can put it in there either with no case or with a case, thanks to the velvety soft fabric on the divider in the middle. The divider has this really nice fabric on it that faces the iPad; you flip it over, and it has some elastic straps and pockets that can hold a pen, the Apple Pencil, some headphones, or a business card or two.

The lid also has a couple of nice pockets on it to carry a charger and even a battery pack for when I am on the go. It even has space for a thumb drive and a USB hub or other items you may want to take along with you.

 

The outside of the Tomtoc Padfolio Case is in an orange color that they call Caramel, but they have several other colors, so it should be easy for you to find one that suits you. The case closes up with a high-quality YKK zipper, and it has a convenient handle on the back. This is the perfect case to throw the iPad and a few things together and head out to my next meeting at church (keeping socially distant and wearing my mask, of course).

It will also be great when I can finally get back to traveling; I can throw this in my backpack or my suitcase to use after I arrive to carry the iPad to meetings and other things.

You can pick up the Tomtoc Padfolio is available in Avocado, Caramel, Cactus, Mint Sugar, Sakura, Sky Mirror, Mixed Orange, Purple, Black, and Gray.

The TomToc Padfolio sells for $31.99; it is available from Amazon [affiliate link].
