Default iPad case/sleeve suggestion

Anyone here uses a good & cheap case/stand for their iPads? Looking for something that's EASILY removable when it's time to stow the iPad in the cockpit. Also, don't want to break the bank.

Thanks.

Stock works fine. If it breaks call the CPO

Buy one in a color other than black. I wish that I had done that. Any other color is easier to notice so you don’t leave it behind in the cradle.

I use an otter box. Will only work for 73 though. The AB cradle is too small for it.

Sorry, should've said it needs to fit the AB cradle.

I have an otter box, it fits in the AB holder. Unless youre using the cover with the tilt too, then it isn’t secure

We are getting new ipads in February of next year. I would not buy a case or sleeve for the one we have now since it is soon to be replaced. Company replaces them if they break. That is their problem to deal with. They buy the cheapest of cheap ipads anyway. They are not allowed to spend a single cent more than required, for AA pilots. Envoy PSA and Piedmont pilots have to get their 180 grand in bonuses somehow.

Mine has a sticker over the camera with my name and phone number. Got me out of trouble a few times.
