NewerTech NuGuard KX
for iPad Air

NewerTech NuGuard KX
Kinetic Energy X-Orbing Case Provides Impact Protection
in a Lightweight and Thin Design
Streamlined Impact Protection
Thin and lightweight, the KX case for the iPad Air maintains the streamlined design of the iPad Air while providing massive impact protection against accidental drops, impacts, and scratches without the bulkiness found in more expensive cases that attempt to provide the same level of protection!

X-Orbing Protection
One of the world's most advanced x-orbing gel technologies is built into each and every KX case. This technology absorbs and evenly distributes kinetic energy, and allows KX cases to be just a fraction of the size and weight of other "protection-class" cases.

See KX in action!
See an iPad Air survive a tumble down a flight of stairs thanks to KX x-orbing impact protection.

Screen & Port Access
The over-molding edge guard provides added screen edge protection without interfering with touch screen functionality. Precision cutouts allow for full access to all ports and buttons with a unique cross hatch texture design on backside for added grip.

The strongest case
deserves the strongest warranty.

Rating: 4/5 Solid protection June 18, 2016 This definitely protects my iPad Air. It has a tactile surface that makes it easy to grasp and reduces chances of dropping the iPad. The only downside is the thickness and weight. The advantages of the iPad Air are its light weight and thinness. This doubles the weight and triples the thickness. Not sure if I will keep it or search for a thinner, lighter alternative.

Rating: 5/5 So far So Good. January 10, 2015 I have not dropped the iPad Air yet so not truly tested. It fits good and snug and all the switches work and ports are accessible. The back side is much thicker than I expected. But around the edges it is not to thick ... about what I expected. The grip is good and smooth and it feels comfortable in my hands. It still fits my HiRise Deluxe and I'm happy about that. I am very happy with my purchase so far.

Rating: 4/5 Almost perfect May 1, 2014 I purchased this case because I purchased the iPhone cover first and really like it. Covers the case perfectly with all the holes lining up perfectly. My only gripes are because it follows the rounded edge shape of the iPad Air perfectly, holding the case by the edge feels as the case wants to slip out of your hand. A grove or raised bead around the edge would help. More colors and a built in stand would make this case perfect. But it dose it's job and I reccemend it.

Rating: 5/5 Light and well formed April 9, 2014 Fits the iPAD Air very well, some slight play at the sides but nothing to mark a star down for. doesn't add a lot of extra weight and feels good in the hand. Optional screen cover available. Simple to install and looks good. Pity there was a lack of colors available but maybe in the future.

Rating: 5/5 Great protection for small size February 27, 2014 The video convinced me that this iPad Air protector would protect my iPad from shattering despite the small size. However, I have yet to drop the iPad to test its protective strength.

Rating: 5/5 Great Protection November 27, 2013 Fully wraps around the iPad Air. Power and volume buttons are still very easy to work. The incipio case I had for my iPad 3rd gen had similar push through buttons but they were stiff and not nearly as easy to use.

Can't go wrong with this case. It gives some needed 'bulk' to the iPad Air, without much weight so you have something substantial to hold on to.
