So here is an interesting question- i was looking at the new griffin cases that will be available for the new iPad Pro- they all say compatible with the iPad Pro 9.7 and the iPad air 2... So does that mean that iPad air two cases will fit??

Not necessarily. There were some cases for the 6s Plus that said they will fit the 6 Plus but not all 6 Plus cases fit the S properly. I'd say you'll have to try them to be sure.

Not sure if like nikkisharif stated above it would fit properly in all instances, also you have to remember the new little pro will have 4 speakers which the Air 2 did not, so most cases would end up covering those speakers and masking their sound I would imagine

Also it was mentioned that the new iPad Pro 9.7" had new ambient light sensors.
I know that when I upgraded from the iP Air to the iP Air 2 my case fit but I had to
cut 2 new holes for the ambient light sensors because Apple changed the location
of the sensors.

No! The iPad Air 2 and the iPad Pro 9.7" have the same size but the pro version has that four speakers, new camera design and microphones and also the smart connector! So, the iPad Air 2 cases will fit perfectly in the new iPad but it will cover all of that stuff mentioned above and more! It's worthless using iPad Air 2 cases in the new iPad Pro ! Cheers
