DuraSafe Case for iPad 9.7 in Air 1 2 5th 6th Gen - Slim Flip Stand

Our review of the DuraSafe Case finds it best suited for iPad owners who want a slim, protective cover with a usable stand and sleep/wake convenience. The case is designed specifically for iPad Air 1 and Air 2 and the 9.7 in 2017 and 2018 models, and the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a lightweight PU leather exterior, a soft microfiber interior and a translucent back that preserves the iPad's look while providing everyday protection without bulk.

Key Features

• Model-specific fit: Exclusively sized for iPad Air 1, Air 2 and 9.7 in 2017/2018 models, so you get correct port and button access without removing the case.
• Slim profile: Ultra slim and lightweight design keeps the tablet easy to hold and carry while adding protection from scratches and minor drops.
• Soft interior: Microfiber lining protects the screen from abrasion and fingerprints when closed, preserving the display surface.
• Dual-angle stand: Built-in folding stand supports two angles for comfortable typing and media viewing while keeping the iPad steady with a magnetic hold.
• Auto sleep/wake: Integrated magnets enable automatic sleep and wake when the cover is closed or opened, helping save battery life.
• Translucent back: Clear back shows the iPad design while the soft silicone layer cushions for corner and edge protection.

Who It's For

This case is ideal for students, commuters and casual users who need a light, attractive cover that protects against scratches and everyday bumps while still allowing the iPad design to show through. The dual-angle stand and auto sleep/wake make it useful for note taking, watching videos and light typing.

Professionals who need rugged, heavy-duty protection or specialized keyboard functionality should look elsewhere, and users with iPad models outside the listed Air 1/Air 2 and 9.7 in 2017/2018 generations should not purchase this case due to fit requirements.
