DuraSafe Case for iPad 9.7 in 2018/2017 - Slim Printed Paris Night

Our review of the DuraSafe Case for iPad 9.7 in the Paris Night print finds it best suited for owners of the 2018 6th gen (A1893/A1954) and 2017 5th gen (A1822/A1823) iPad models who want reliable day-to-day protection without bulk. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a slim, soft-touch PU leather front and a translucent TPU back that protects against scratches and drops while still showing the iPad's finish; in this review that balance of protection and style stands out for classroom, commuting, and home use.

Key Features

• Precision Fit: Cut-outs and button covers provide full access to cameras, speakers, ports and buttons so the iPad can be used without removing the case.
• Slim Lightweight Build: The ultra slim profile and lightweight materials keep the iPad portable while adding protection against fingerprints and slips.
• Dual-Angle Stand: Built-in dual-angle viewing and typing positions make watching video or typing more comfortable and reduce hand strain during extended use.
• Smart Sleep/Wake: Integrated magnets enable automatic sleep/wake when the cover is closed or opened to conserve battery life.
• Soft Interior: A scratch-free microfiber interior cushions the screen and helps prevent abrasion from everyday use.
• Translucent Back: The clear TPU back preserves the look of the iPad while offering shock and corner protection.

Who It's For

This case is ideal for students, commuters, and casual users who have an iPad 9.7 in the 2018 or 2017 model family and want a low-profile protector that still offers multi-angle viewing and auto sleep/wake. It works well for anyone who values a soft-touch exterior and a visible iPad back finish, and who needs a reliable daily cover for reading, streaming and light productivity.

Those who should look elsewhere include users with iPad models other than the listed 9.7 in 2018/2017 versions, and people who require heavy-duty, military-grade drop protection or a keyboard-integrated folio; this case emphasizes slimness and convenience over extreme ruggedization.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Convenient dual-angle stand and reliable smart auto sleep/wake for daily use.
• Soft microfiber interior and TPU back offer good scratch and corner protection without adding bulk.

Cons
