The IntelliSkin Next Generation for the iPad Air 13" (M2 & M3) (RAM-GDS-SKIN-AP47-NG) is a protective sleeve that combines a hard plastic shell with soft, shock-absorbing rubber. It features an integrated GDS connector molded directly into the skin that prevents damage to your devices charging port from repetitive docking. The flat, ruggedized contacts on the connector collect less dirt and are easier to clean. The integrated connector also has a USB Type-C port that bypasses the pogo pads to charge the device when you dont have a GDS Dock available. It comes with a protective cap for the USB-C port, ensuring debris does not build up over time in field applications. This sleeve provides military-grade drop protection and is compatible with a variety of GDS Docks and accessories. Always Protected. Always Connected.
