Still, there are other options that could make sense for you, like the Logitech Combo Touch or Magic Keyboard Folio if you want a case with a keyboard or the Otterbox Symmetry Folio Series or Spigen Tough Armor for extra protection. As an added bonus, the slick leather exterior on this case adds a sophisticated flair that not many other cases can match. The ESR Matte Case is a slim, light enclosure that provides enhanced protection for your iPad against accidental hits, collisions, bumps, and drops while keeping it portable and adding a grippy surface.

This could lead you to believe you don't really need a screen protector, and you may be partially right — at least when it comes to protecting your screen against cracks.
