Design
The iPad Air 2 is a lovely device to hold because of its lightweight and aluminum design. At just 6.1mm thin the iPad Air 2 is one of the thinnest tablets ever made. It has a gorgeous 9.7" display with very little bezel making the iPad Air 2 very compact. Its aluminium back is quite slippery at times and can fall out of your hand easily. If you drop the iPad Air 2 chances are that the display will shatter. Although the iPad Air 2 is very thin bending will not occur. Altogether the iPad Air 2 has a beautiful design and is one of the more premium tablets on the market.
