The Incipio Tuxen case for the iPad Air 2 includes anti-scratch lining, offering protection for Apple's new product.

Anker's iPad Air 2 case and keyboard is now available for sale at a $40 pricetag.

Computer accessories producer Kensington announced its BlackBelt 2nd Degree Rugged Case for the iPad Air 2 at a Back to School New Products event earlier this week, Twice reports.

The company's iPad Air 2 case includes an integrated Bluetooth keyboard and a Quickhold feature.

Apple is not the only company Kensington may be looking to produce cases for, however.

Microsoft is planning to launch a 14-inch version Surface Pro 4 tablet before Apple releases its iPad Pro, sparking rumors that the latter product's release date will be pushed back for a fall release date.

However, others are saying the release date of the iPad Pro may come sooner than expected: retailers among the ranks of Best Buy and B&H Photo are offering price drops for the iPad Air, which point to an early release.

B&H Photo is offering $60 off its complete stock of iPad Air 2 models while Best Buy is also offering discounts on the same model, The Inquisitr reports.

New speculation also suggests that Apple will release the iPad Pro in April to coincide with the release date of other models and that the new version of the product may exclude a stylus pen due to "high selling prices."
