Finding a matching protective case for your device is one of the first things you should do after you take it out of the box, and it's exactly the same with shiny new tablets - whether you have an Amazon Fire HD, Samsung Galaxy Tab, or an iPad.

The right case will save your tablet from bumps, scratches, and inevitable drops by children, as well as keep it looking just as sleek as it does when unprotected. However, aside from understanding what size case will correspond with your tablet, you need to know what look you want, as well.

A lot of popular picks will act as simple folding cases that primarily protect the display. That said, some will have stands to help you view the screen more easily, and a select few will be old-school carry cases that will only shield it while travelling.

Whatever case you need, we're here to help. Below, you'll find some of the top tablet cases detailed.
