Will this case protect my 1st gen iPad's screen?

No, unfortunately it will not protect the screen. It will mostly protect the back of your iPad mini from scratches due to placing your device on hard surfaces.

This case does not provide much protection from falls, if that is your concern. If you drop your iPad with this case, your screen will most probably crack. This will protect you iPad from getting scratches and minor dings. The main benefit for me is it gives me a secure grip on the mini, which I found the smooth finish to be quite slippery.

This case will protect to an extent. I have had no problems with its working okay. It is flimsy though. It won't protect the screen. You get what you pay for, and this is inexpensive, but it fits snugly and protects to the extent you would imagine by looking at the photos

It might work, the 1st generations are a little thicker, though, and the fit is already a bit snug. The keyboard would work just fine, but the case probably won't be an ideal fit and I'd advise giving this a pass for 1st generation iPads.

I don't know if it fits the 1st generation. It fit very well on the iPad 2 we had.

I bought one but fits poorly. Not a good case for first generation iPads at all. Cheap imitation!

It is for 1st Gen. I didn't know when I got it. It kind of fits (the 2nd gen is not as wide so some hangs over the edge and wants to peel off; with the right case, it can pin the screen edges down).I would advise going to Zagg's website and ordering the 2nd Gen screen cover (which isn't yet available on Amazon as of this writing).

No...iPad 1 is thicker and will not fit the gen2 zagg. Maybe Zagg made a gen1 case?

yes -- at least mine is a first generation. As other reviewers have noted, the case is a tad loose rather than skin tight. Still, it provides great protection and easy access to controls

If you mean 1st generation by "original", no it won't. Per Devicewear's website, the Ridge fits iPads 2, 3, and 4.

It fits fine on backside of 3rd gen iPad with access to all buttons and plugins. Does not cover screen, I still use magnetic flip screen cover.

Sorry I couldn't say if it will fit ipad 1st generation, however; if the dimensions are exactly the same as the iPad mini, I see no reason why it shouldn't. They are an excellent product for small children with iPad minis.

I have a 1st generation ipad and it fits it perfectly. It does have the open spot for the Ipad2 camera but, no big deal. I really like this case for my ipad. It protects it well, folds easily, and does have a spot in the back to put the flap in case you wanted to prop it up to watch a video.

Yes, I bought this screen protector for a 1st generation iPad and it fit perfectly. When installing it, you need to peel the film off very slowly (I ruined two of them before figuring that out).

Thank you for your interest in our product. We appreciate Vernon's answer to your question, but have honestly never tried this case with and iPad 1. We designed it for the iPad 2, 3 & 4. Since the iPad 1 is thicker than the 2, 3 & 4 an iPad may not fit properly, so therefore it's not recommended.Best,Innovative Care Team

Yes it will!! I use it on my iPhone and iPad 2, both have screen protectors.

This case is for the 1st generation. The 2nd gen is a 5 in screen while the 1st gen is only 4.5 in.

No, the iPad 1st generation is thicker. Apple did make a nice black case for it though. I'd get one of those or otterbox made defender cases as well
