Which iPad do I have? Only the serial number to go on

Buying a case for an iPad I was given. Settings shows the serial but the model name just says iPad. How do I work out the exact generation?

there's also a model number on the back in tiny print, starts with an A followed by four digits. search that and it tells you exactly which iPad it is. in Settings > General > About, tapping the model number switches it to the same A number too.

put the serial into Apple's check coverage page, it shows the exact model name (generation and size) along with the warranty status. if the iPad turns on, Settings > General > About shows the model name too.
