Earlier this month, Apple released the much anticipated fifth generation iPad (along with iPad Mini 2) in India.
Apple's new 9.7-inch tablet has undergone major design overhaul since iPad 2 in 2011. It measures 7.5 mm thick and despite boasting metal chassis, the device weighs just a pound (469 g), aptly personifying the title iPad Air.
Many tech pundits and Apple fans alike around the globe have heaped praises on the iPad Air's minimalistic design. However, the new Aluminum clad-tablet is still an expensive gadget [to know price details, click here], so it's necessary to take care of the device as it is prone to accidental drops and daily wear-and-tear.
