Is this case heavy? The new retina display model is fairly lightweight. Just wondering if the case is going to add some weight to it?

Additional weight of case is negligible. Case fit was too lose for my New Mac Pro, though

No, the case is very light. I does make it not as slim, but that's expected.

The screen base is weighted and you can position the touch portion to make it very solid. Ours is used in a weight lifting gym and gets some big, heavy hands on it to check in and there are no issues.

It isn't too heavy. I haven't weighed it, but it doesn't add significant weight to the iPad itself. Still light enough to throw in a bag or carry with a stack of books.The case is built to fit the keyboard- without it, there is extra space and the magnetic "snap" doesn't connect to hold it closed. It still holds the iPad just fine without the keyboard. The keyboard is just attached to the case by magnet.

The case weighs 4 ounces. The only thing I would like to add is that when opening the case, it will sometimes turn on iPad and sometimes it will not. Also, if you do purchase case take a plug(toast coffee pot) and push out the on/off button. Hope this helps your decision.

It must be a mistake but I am not positive. It feels like it weighs 5 lbs or less. It is pretty skinny for such a large monitor. It is almost an ultra laptop

The case itself barely weighs anything and in my opinion barely adds any weight to the computer. I have the case on mine and my computer is still lighter than other laptops that I have had.

I agree with Ginger, I've had my case for over a month now and works fine. I have the MBP with retina 15" Late 2012 and the case took a little pressure to fit the screen and it eventually did snap on to all of the sides. My advice is to leave the case alone once it is on otherwise it will crack over time if you take it on and off frequently.

I haven't dropped mine, but the case deff feels durable and sturdy. You should be safe against minor drops.

NO....i do not feel it is. i have lugged around 15 inch laptop which is heavier and with top and bottom pieces much more bulky. i put the plastic film to protect it. have a small 14 or so inch carry bag until i can find the leather holder/stand. i would never trade it for any apple products. might buy one if they ever got big enough. it runs on ice cream sandwich.. but i am sure it will eventually be upgraded.

The case is not heavy. Case with iPad Air inside weighs about a pound. All ports line up camera uncovered.I like this case a lot. I paid under $20 . Totally worth it. :)

It might be the packaged box weight. I just stood on my scale with the just the laptop (no power cord) and it weighs in at 5.7 lbs. Personally I do not find this to be heavy at all. I did just give up a 17" Sony laptop and this laptop is lighter. I will say it's not as thin as models I've seen in stores, but, again, I haven't found i7 gen 4/500GB SSD's in the stores either. I just went to CRN - this laptop is considered 10th of 10 coolest laptops - they do confirm the weight is 5.7.

Not sure what the exact weight is but I think the case is relatively light, considering the size and the exterior is made out of aluminum. However, the feel/weight is relative to each individual and their physical abilities. I do fill mine completely with trays that contain lots of jewelry, so it then it becomes fairly heavy.

I think that's a relative question. No, I wouldn't say it's heavy. This is my first ipad so I have no means of comparison, but the ipad is certainly heavier than the cover. I'd call the cover STURDY, but not heavy.

It is not the heaviest case I ever used. But definitely heavier than I expected. I would say from the scale of heaviness of 1 - 10 it's about a 7 or even an 8. Maybe someone can give you an answer in pounds?

No, it's pretty thin plastic... My biggest problem with the case was that it wouldn't do much against any kind of impact on the screen.
