Anyone know where I can buy a case for my iPad Generation 1, model A1219?

Shut up! I know it's old, but it still runs like a dream; no need to get a new one.

Amazon and eBay did everything but laugh at me for wanted a case for such an old model. None of the brick-and-mortar Apple stores have them.

The old case is falling apart. It's more duct tape than anything else...

There are a lot of generic cases... Take your measurements and check against 3rd party offerings hlthe2b Jan 2019 #3

All of them too small.

Also, make sure your security is up to date on the old iPad. Sometimes companies do not support older models and you can be vulnerable to identify theft.

even after restoring it (plus the new software updates were no longer supported).

If I asked for one for an iPad as old as mine, I'm afraid they'd laugh themselves silly...
